Israel hit Iranian military targets in a wave of airstrikes in the early hours Saturday , in response to Iran ’s Oct. 1 missile barrage against Israel .

Peter Bergen : The next U.S. president will face an Israeli government that “is trying to really redefine the parameters of its conflicts,” Bergen says.

The status quo, as much as the U.S. has sought to reinforce it over the past decade , seems untenable.

A resolution to the Israeli -Palestinian conflict “cannot be in the direction of reinforced occupation, siege, suppression and oppression,” Salem says.

The risks posed by Iran and the looming crisis of advances in its nuclear program will be a top priority for the next president.
