🇮🇱 What will Israel do?

🇮🇱 After a direct Iranian attack, Haaretz questions if Netanyahu will leverage this strategic moment for Israel — or let it slip away.

🇮🇱 The Atlantic: Netanyahu's win against Iran's attack presents a strategic chance for Israel. It could use the moment to reset Gaza talks and relations with Arab allies.

🇮🇱 The Economist: Let’s be clear, Iran miscalculated and flopped. That makes Israel's next move tough and critical on the world stage

🇮🇱 And Axios says Biden’s taken a firm stance: The US won't back an Israeli counterstrike on Iran.

🇮🇱 Meanwhile, Bloomberg focuses on Israel's air defenses. They were largely successful against Iran's drone onslaught, but Iran may have learned a thing or two.

📚 Harvard brings back the SAT

📚 After a pandemic pause, Harvard has reinstated its SAT/ACT requirement for admissions. The Crimson says it's a controversial move.

📚 Harvardindependent.com disagreed with the decision: Making standardized testing optional would promote diversity and accessibility at Harvard.

📚 But maybe the critics have it wrong. Forbes thinks Harvard's U-turn on test scores is actually an attempt to level the playing field.

📚 Either way, the NYT points out that Harvard isn't the only college flip-flopping on standardized tests — Cal Tech reinstated its test requirement hours after Harvard's announcement.
