The Wall Street Journal reported that Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu told US President Donald Trump that Israel would resume attacking Iran if the country resumes its pursuit of nuclear weapons.
According to the report, President Trump replied that he preferred a diplomatic solution, but did not directly oppose the idea.
Two days ago, Defense Minister Yoav Gallant warned Iran against any attempt to harm Israel.
In a speech at a ceremony marking the conclusion of an Air Force flight course, Minister Gallant said, "This ceremony is a direct message to dictator Khamenei and the Ayatollahs' group in Iran: Israel's long arm will reach you in Tehran, Tabriz, Isfahan, and anywhere from which you attempt to threaten and harm Israel. There is no place where you can hide. I...
US President Donald Trump plans to arm Ukraine with offensive weapons, two sources with knowledge of the plans told Axios on Monday, following Trump’s announcement that he would send Ukraine Patriot air defense missiles.
The offensive weapons would reportedly include long-range missiles that could reach targets deep inside Russian territory, including Moscow.
"Trump is really pissed at [Russian President Vladimir] Putin. His announcement tomorrow is going to be very aggressive," Republican Senator Lindsey Graham told Axios.
Trump said on Sunday he will send Patriot air defense missiles to Ukraine, saying they are necessary to defend the country because Putin "talks nice but then he bombs everybody in the evening."
Trump did not give a number of Patriots h...
Jewish history unfolded across many legendary mountains. Our story is etched into numerous mountaintops of joy and revelation.
On a desert cliff named Sinai—its exact location now lost—Hashem gave us the Torah. Years later, upon the twin peaks of Gerizim and Eival in northern Israel, we reenacted Sinai. This mountain covenant bound a new generation directly to the revelation their parents had witnessed on those same Sinai heights.
In the heart of Yerushalayim stands another fabled mountain named Moriah. There, Avraham offered Yitzchak, and Yaakov dreamed of a ladder stretching heavenward. That mountain became the site of the Beit HaMikdash—a house built by man to host the presence of Hashem. Moriah is the mountain where Jewish history first took shape— and the one...
Choosing the Path of Faith Together
One day, I hope the children of Sasha Troufanov and Sapir Cohen read this article. I hope they come to understand just how meaningful — and how transformative — their parents’ story truly is.
Even Sasha and Sapir may not fully realize how closely the global Jewish community has followed them since the day they were taken captive. This week, with the news of their engagement, I found myself revisiting the moments that revealed just how profoundly these two young Israelis have touched our people.
Here are a few:

Kerryville, Texas – Another potentially life-threatening flooding event took place across Central Texas on Sunday morning, with torrential rain sending rivers and streams above their banks, forcing officials to stop search efforts along the Guadalupe River that had been underway since a catastrophic and deadly flash flooding event over the Fourth of July holiday.
FOX Weather Correspondent Katie Byrne had been in Kerrville reporting on the disaster when her cellphone began to blare, warning people to move to higher ground.
"This is absolutely a punch to the gut for people here in Kerrville," Byrne said Sunday morning. "We are along the Guadalupe and we’re getting heavy downpours right now."
Byrne shared an image...
The father of New York City mayoral runner Zohran Mamdani sits on the board of anti-Israel organization The Gaza Tribunal and once wrote that suicide bombers should be considered soldiers. This was first revealed by Fox News on Saturday.
Mahmood Mamdani, the Herbert Lehman Professor of Government at Columbia University, is one of The Gaza Tribunal’s 29-member advisory policy council, alongside former British Labour Party MP Jeremy Corbyn. The organization aims to “awaken civil society to its responsibility and opportunity to stop Israel’s genocide in Gaza” by “exerting civil society pressure on governments to act.”
The Gaza Tribunal, like Zohran Mamdani, advocates for Boycott, Divestment, and Sanctions (BDS) against Israel. His fath...
We’ve all heard it, said half in jest, half in resignation: "This generation of kids… it’s just not like it used to be."
Yes, there’s truth behind those words. However, we need to ask ourselves honestly: What kind of world are our children really growing up in?
Even in our most sheltered homes, where Torah is cherished and values are front and center, our children are shaped by a world louder, faster, and more intrusive than anything we knew.
They’re bombarded with information, opinions, and expectations from the moment they open their eyes. They know more, hear more, and process more — often long before they’re ready.
And it’s not only the ideas they’re exposed to. The pull of gashmiyus is stronger and more sophisticated than ever...
