*Ari Heistein* *Security, Middle East* While Israel is not a party to the war in Yemen, it does have interests in the arena. The trajectory of the war in Yemen is now highly uncertain due to a number of factors which include the upcoming change in U.S. administrations as well as the failure of the Saudi efforts over the past year to maintain internal cohesion within its coalition and reach a negotiated settlement with Houthis. The present uncertainty provides an impetus for Jerusalem to recalibrate its approach to the Yemen conflict, and it should consider shifting its policy to...

*WEDNESDAY, DECEMBER 2, 2020* *Let the Post's editors show you:* As we've often noted, reporting statistics is very hard, especially for major top journalists. That's even true with respect to major topic like pandemic infection and death.

In a newly published editorial, the board says that Sweden's experiment with "herd immunity" has majorly failed. As far as we know, that assessment seems to be accurate. As far as we know, Sweden's experiment h...

People spend more than half of their life, worrying about what other people think. It ends with you feeling miserable because you don’t feel good enough for anyone. Some people tend to think of the worst possible things a person could think about them, which takes a mental toll on them. Therefore, it is crucial to identify when you start thinking negatively and accept what you’re experiencing. It is possible by changing your perspective and letting go. People tend to care too much about others because their happiness depends on the quality of their relationships. They want to be i...
