WASHINGTON (AP) — Manufacturers struggling to make long-term plans.

During a high-profile fundraising event hosted by the National Republican Congressional Committee (NRCC) on Tuesday evening, three former hostages — Keith Siegel, his wife Aviva, and Iair Horn — took the stage to publicly express their gratitude to President Donald Trump for his efforts in securing their release from Hamas captivity.
Keith Siegel and Iair Horn were released as part of the most recent hostage deal, while Aviva Siegel had been freed earlier, in November 2023. Together, they used the opportunity to thank the former president personally and to urge him to continue working to free those still held in Gaza.
“They went through unimaginable suffering,” Trump said as he introduced Siegel and Horn. “Come on up.”

Shas chairman Aryeh Deri has drawn a red line regarding the controversial draft law, warning that his party will boycott all Knesset votes if no agreement is reached by the start of the summer session.
Speaking in an interview with HaDerech, the official Shas newspaper, Deri made his position unequivocally clear: “By the opening of the Knesset’s summer session, we must reach an internal agreement on all the core issues of the draft law — or we will refrain from participating in votes.”

A call for rachamei Shamayim has gone out across the Torah world following a significant deterioration in the condition of HaGaon HaRav Meir Mazuz, Rosh Yeshivas Kisei Rachamim.
Rav Mazuz, 80, was hospitalized earlier this week at Beilinson Hospital in Petach Tikvah due to ongoing weakness. His condition worsened overnight.

It is with great sadness that Matzav.com reports the petirah of Yosef Atik z”l, from the Shmuel Hanavi neighborhood of Yerushalayim, just one month before his bar mitzvah.
Yosef battled a difficult illness for close to two years with great strength and emunah. Despite his suffering, he remained devoted to his learning and davening.
A child of noble lineage, Yosef was the son of Rav Shimon Hillel Atik and a grandson of the renowned gaon Rav Yitzchok Zev Atik zt”l and Rav Yaakov Yehuda Salant. He was also a great-grandson of Gedolei Yerushalayim — Rav Mendel Atik zt”l, Rav Moshe Salant zt”l, and Rav Chaim Uri Freund, a member of the Badatz of the Eidah Hachareidis.

JERUSALEM (VINnews) — A dramatic new and comprehensive regulation regarding beard growth in the IDF is expected to take effect in the coming days.

The United States officially began enforcing a wide array of new tariffs early this morning, fulfilling President Trump’s sweeping trade policy that now affects close to 90 countries — most notably China, which has been hit with a staggering 104% tariff rate.
These newly implemented tariffs follow an earlier 10% baseline rate that went into effect on April 5. The latest round applies both to longstanding U.S. allies and rival nations, part of what the administration calls a broader strategy to reset global trade relationships.
China received the highest duties after retaliating with a 34% tariff on American exports — itself a response to the 34% levy Trump had previously imposed. That tit-for-tat prompted Trump to up the ante with an even harsher penalty.
