Both the White House and U.S. President Joe Biden’s re-election campaign are slamming the campaign of former President Donald Trump—the frontrunner in the Republican nomination for the 2024 presidential race—for posting a video that used Nazi language.
Andrew Bates, a White House spokesman, stated that “it is abhorrent, sickening and disgraceful for anyone to promote content associated with Germany’s Nazi government under Adolf Hitler.”
James Singer, a spokesman for the Biden campaign, claimed that Trump “is telling America exactly what he intends to do if he regains power: rule as a dictator over a ‘unified reich.’”

Israeli Communications Minister Shlomo Karhi on Tuesday moved to return an Associated Press webcam that inspectors had taken down in the southern town of Sderot just hours earlier, his office announced.
“Since the Defense Ministry wishes to examine the matter of the broadcasts from these locations in Sderot regarding the risk to our forces, I have ordered a cancellation of the operation and return the equipment to the AP,” Karhi said.
The camera and other related equipment will be returned “until a different decision is made by the Ministry of Defense,” he added.
Karhi’s announcement came after pressure from the United States government through the Israeli embassy in Washington and the office of Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu, the Ynet news outlet reported.

Donald Trump’s lawyers finished presenting their defense case Tuesday, and the trial judge said closing arguments will be next week. Trump will not testify.
In his remarks on his way into court on Tuesday, Trump said the defense will rest quickly. “Resting, meaning resting the case,” he added. “I won’t be resting. I don’t rest. I’d like to rest sometimes, but I don’t get to rest.”
On leaving the courtroom Tuesday, Trump raised his fist but didn’t speak to reporters.
Tuesday afternoon, New York Supreme Court Justice Juan Merchan was to hold a charging conference, in which lawyers hammer out exactly how jurors should be instructed on the law before they begin deliberating.

A fire spreading near the community of Hemdad in the Jordan Valley is being battled by seven firefighting crews.
After examining the fire’s risks and rate of spread, the crews set up around the base in locations the fire could be projected to spread towards.
While fighting the fire, terrorists shot at the security forces in the area. Thankfully no damage was caused and no injuries were reported. The IDF is currently searching the area for the terrorists.
The firefighter commander said, “After an initial assessment of the situation, and mapping the risks and the rate of spread of the fire, I positioned the firefighters around the base in places where there is a danger that the fire will penetrate into it.”

An advertising campaign by the Republican Jewish Coalition seeks to confront Jewish voters with what it calls “Biden’s shameful hypocrisy.”
“As antisemitism spikes to record highs and America’s relationship with our ally Israel continues to reach new lows, the Jewish community is more energized than ever to turn the page from the failures, broken promises, and betrayals by Joe Biden,” stated Norm Coleman and Matt Brooks, national chairman and CEO of the RJC, respectively.
Coleman and Brooks said the group would release an “opening salvo of hyper-targeted digital ads” to run in “the key battleground states of Pennsylvania, Arizona, Georgia, Nevada and Michigan, targeting Jewish voters by deploying the most cutting-edge data operation in Jewish politics.”

Israel’s Communications Ministry on Tuesday seized an Associated Press webcam in the southern town of Sderot, accusing the agency of airing troop movements in the Gaza Strip and providing services to Al Jazeera, in violation of a law that prohibits the outlet from operating in the country.
“The confiscated camera broadcast the northern Gaza Strip live on the Al Jazeera channel in violation of the law,” the Ministry of Communications said in a statement shared with JNS, adding that the AP live feed revealed “the activities of the IDF forces and endangered our fighters.”
