Israel's gambit: Massacre the Palestinians, subjugate the region?
Has Israel created a predicament it can't escape with its zero-sum path for the Palestinians and regional overreach? By offering nothing except continual massacre for the Palestinians, and attempting to subjugate the surrounding areas to its will, Israel finds itself 'in a predicament of its own making', argues former Israeli adviser Daniel Levy. Levy, president of the US/Middle East Project, tells host Steve Clemons that Israel has put Arab leaders in a bind, as regional disgust grows towards Israel for its war crimes in Gaza. And while Western governments and cultural institutions have been carrying water for Israel for decades, argues Levy, some have begun 'acknowledging things they worked hard not to acknowledge for an awfully long time.'

Daniel Levy says Tottenham fans will only miss him when he's gone… but the lack of trophy talk will do nothing to win over his critics, writes KIERAN GILL
The architects of the Tottenham Hotspur Stadium regretfully informed Daniel Levy there was no way he could have the glass roof he wanted. Not doable. Can't happen. Got to be plastic. Looking chuffed with himself, Levy told Gary Neville how he wasn't having it. How he had too much respect for Mother Earth to do that to her environment. How plastic goes yellow after five years, don'tcha know. How he refused to take no for an answer.

Tottenham chairman Daniel Levy fears 'abuse' of multi-club ownership
Tottenham chairman Daniel Levy has warned that teams and individuals engaged in multi-club ownership must be 'very careful' not to overstep rules. The practice of one person or business entity holding stakes in various clubs is far from a new one, with Premier League giants Manchester City, Manchester United and Chelsea among those that have 'sister clubs' in the game, from Girona to Nice and Strasbourg. While it can have its benefits, such as aiding player development through loan moves, it can also cause significant issues for clubs and their fans, as exemplified by the situation Crystal Palace have found themselves in this summer. The Eagles, whose FA Cup victory earned their place in the Europa League, were instead demoted to the Conference League by European football's governing body UEFA on July 11 after it determined that as of March 1, American businessman John Textor had control or influence at Palace and French club Lyon. UEFA rules state that one or more clubs deemed to have common ownership cannot play in the same competition, with Lyon edging out Palace for the sole Europa League place because of their comparatively higher league finish last season. Textor has since sold his stakes in the south London club, but the Eagles still face a hearing with the Court of Arbitration for Sport on August 8 before they learn the verdict on their European fate on August 11. Discussing his views on multi-club ownership in an interview with Gary Neville for The Overlap, brought to you by SkyBet, Levy said the issue is a 'very important' one when it comes to the sustainability of today's game. Pressed by Neville if he was against multi-club ownership, the Spurs chief said: 'I think they have to be very careful. 'I think the idea that one club is involved with lots of different clubs, with the money involved today, I think it has to be controlled carefully.' Explaining that such schemes could be used to 'abuse' football's financial control measures, Levy continued: 'It worries me a little bit because there's so much money in the game now, and you only need one owner to do something inappropriate and it would impact the whole confidence from sponsors and broadcasters in the European game. 'So, I think it needs very tight control.' The current transfer window has seen more activity at the Tottenham Hotspur Stadium than fans have been accustomed to in years past, with the likes of Mohammed Kudus and now Joao Palhinha following new manager Thomas Frank through the door as the Lilywhites prepare to return to Champions League football courtesy of their Europa League victory despite finishing 17th in the league last season. Asked if he feels he gets enough credit for what he can control at the club, Levy replied: 'When I'm not here, I'm sure I'll get the credit.'
