John Brennan, who led the CIA, and James Comey, the former FBI director, are currently subjects of a criminal investigation over potential misconduct tied to the Trump–Russia investigation, according to news reports. The probe includes possible false statements they may have made to Congress.
Sources within the Justice Department revealed that CIA Director John Ratcliffe forwarded evidence implicating Brennan to FBI official Kash Patel, prompting a criminal review of Brennan’s actions. Officials confirmed that a formal investigation into Brennan has begun, although they declined to elaborate further on its precise scope. It remains uncertain whether the inquiry extends beyond his possible misleading of lawmakers.

A senior source from Syria, with ties to President Al-Sharaa, has informed i24NEWS that Israeli Prime Minister Netanyahu and Syrian President Al-Sharaa plan to sign a security accord, which would serve as the initial move toward full diplomatic normalization.

The deal is intended to mark the beginning of broader peace talks and formal normalization of relations between Israel and Syria, the source added.

Controversial left-wing activist Yisrael Frey ignited widespread condemnation on Tuesday after posting a tweet in which he expressed approval over the deaths of five IDF soldiers who were killed the previous night during fighting in Gaza.
In his tweet, Frey wrote, “The world is better this morning, without the five young men who participated in one of the most brutal crimes against humanity. Unfortunately, for the child in Gaza who is now being operated on without anesthetics; for the girl starving to death and the family crammed into a tent under the bombs, it is not enough. This is a call to every Israeli mother: don’t be the next to receive your son in a coffin as a war criminal. Refuse this.”

Israeli Prime Minister Bibi Netanyahu delivered remarks Tuesday from Capitol Hill in Washington, D.C., where he spoke about the tragic loss of five Israeli soldiers in Gaza and expressed optimism about bringing the war to an end.
“These are momentous days, but they’re also touched by tragedy. We lost five of our brave soldiers in Gaza. The people of America, well Texas, have profoundly lost their colleagues. We stand with the people of Texas and the people of America as the people of America stand with us. We send our condolences to the bereaved families,” Netanyahu said at the start of his address.

Hungarian budget airline Wizz Air announced it will restart flights to Israel earlier than initially planned.
The airline confirmed it will resume operations from Ben Gurion Airport on August 8, with its first routes set to Larnaca and Budapest. Tickets for these flights will become available for purchase starting Wednesday. Additional destinations are expected to be added shortly after.
Wizz Air, like other international carriers, halted all service to Israel after the country’s airspace was shut down on June 13, when open conflict erupted between Israel and Iran.
Although the fighting lasted less than two weeks and concluded with a U.S.-brokered ceasefire, many foreign airlines had opted to delay the return of service to Israeli airports until mid-September.

DETROIT — The U.S.

MTA Chair and CEO Janno Lieber pushed back forcefully on Tuesday after Transportation Secretary Sean Duffy once again criticized the MTA for what he described as a failure to tackle the rise in subway crime.
“MTA giving USDOT the runaround when New York City grapples with a dramatic uptick in subway assaults is unacceptable. The innocent victims of these horrific crimes and the daily commuters who live in fear of violence deserve better,” Duffy said. “It’s time we restore order on New York’s transit systems—lives are at stake.”
In a letter sent Monday, the Department of Transportation formally asked the MTA to provide further documentation to help them identify what they called flaws in the agency’s safety procedures and enforcement efforts.
