Changing its tone after years of frustration over Jerusalem’s stance on the war with Russia, Ukraine is warming to Israel, and looking to it as a model for navigating US pressure to sue for peace with a recalcitrant enemy.

Visiting Jerusalem last week, Deputy Prime Minister Taras Kachka told The Times of Israel that he was satisfied with bilateral ties of late.

Still, a few days later, Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu boasted of his relationship with Russian President Vladimir Putin, sparking a short-lived diplomatic kerfuffle and demonstrating the persisting challenges the relationship continues to navigate.

Footage recovered by the Israeli military during operations in the Gaza Strip shows the six Israeli hostages who were murdered by their captors in August 2024, lighting Hanukkah candles in a tunnel.

The six, Hersh Goldberg-Polin, 23, Eden Yerushalmi, 24, Ori Danino, 25, Alex Lobanov, 32, Carmel G*t, 40, and Almog Sarusi, 27, were killed by their captors in a tunnel in Rafah’s Tel Sultan neighborhood on August 29, 2024, and were discovered by IDF troops two days later.

The video shows the hostages reciting the candle-lighting blessing and singing the Hanukkah song “Ma’oz Tzur” in December 2023.

During the war, the IDF, upon finding footage or other findings of hostages in Gaza, has presented them to their families, who often release them to the public.

Channel 12 news is set to air additional footage of the six hostages in captivity tonight.

Our enemies are down but not out; potential regional allies are moving away; global and notably US public and political mindsets are changing for the worse; and we are again riven inside. This is not a time for complacency
