Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu has had one of the best weeks in the history of modern politics. Just a few days ago, the streets of Israel were filled with protesters. Obstreperous coalition allies sought to tie his hands. Team Biden rebuked his lack of vision and courage. Diplomats from many countries boycotted Mr. Netanyahu鈥檚 United Nations appearance while Iran鈥檚 call for moderation and calm was widely praised.
Team Biden offered the usual advice: Don鈥檛 escalate. Don鈥檛 provoke Hezbollah. Make still more concessions to get to yes with Hamas. Don鈥檛 anger Iran when the 鈥渕oderates鈥� are staging a comeback.
