Joe Biden may be the front-runner among Democratic presidential hopefuls, but the former vice president isn’t cutting it with Rep. Ilhan Omar.
“There are few people who fit into the kind of progress that we all want to see in this country,” ​the Minnesota Democrat told The Guardian on Saturday. “And I would say he is not one of them.​”​
​Omar, speaking at the People’s Presidential Forum in Iowa, said the country needs to elect a president who understands that “we are fighting for the very soul of our democracy and what society we want to become.”

What should have been a victory lap has turned into a rather ragged obstacle course for WeWork, the co-working juggernaut.
WeWork (recently rebranded as the We Co.) was forced to postpone its hotly anticipated initial public offering after filings last week showed billions in losses and potential conflicts of interest for Adam Neumann, its controversial and charismatic chief executive. Though his unconventional leadership style helped propel the company to a $47 billion valuation, it could cost him his spot at the company’s helm.

A no-litter sign depicting a chareidi man as a pig was spotted on a bus in Modi’in Illit Thursday morning, Ynet reports. The sign, asking passengers not to eat on the bus or litter, was presumably placed by the driver and spotted on Bus 881 by a local woman, who took the photo.

The bus company, Kavim, released a message conveying the company’s shock in light of the incident and promising to act against the bus driver.

A U.S. Army soldier who allegedly discussed attacking a news station was charged in federal court Monday for sending instructions to build bombs over social media.
Jarrett William Smith, 24, was charged with one count of distributing information related to explosives and weapons of mass destruction.
Smith talked about killing members of loosely organized left-wing movement antifa and destroying a local news station. On Aug. 21, he told an undercover investigator about how to make a vehicle bomb. Smith also described how to build a bomb that could be triggered by calling a cellphone.
The soldier faces a maximum sentence of 20 years in federal prison and a fine of up to $250,000.

The Joint Arab List clarified on Monday that while the bloc is backing Blue and White Party leader Benny Gantz to create the next Israeli government coalition, one faction, the Balad Party, will not participate.
Reports Sunday following the Joint List’s meeting with Israeli President Reuven Rivlin heralded the bloc’s decision to back Gantz as “historic” and tallied Gantz’s coalition seats at 57, all but guaranteeing Rivlin would task him with forming a government. Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu’s right-wing bloc comprises 55 seats.
However, in a letter submitted to Rivlin on Monday by Joint List leader Ahmad Tibi, the group appeared to backtrack.

On Friday at approximately 1:30 a.m. two young people were reported electrocuted in a pool. One of the young men was pulled out of the pool unconscious. He was not breathing and had no pulse or signs of life. A second young man, who had jumped into the pool to save his friend was also electrocuted and was in moderate condition.

It was suspected that there was an exposed electrical cable inside the pool somewhere. The first emergency medical responders on the scene were United Hatzalah volunteers Yossi and Oshrat Mualem from Givat Ze’ev, proud parents of five, who are just about to have their sixth child as Oshrat is 9-months pregnant.

The unnamed suspect was arrested after disembarking a cruise ship in Mykonos.
WATCH:

Israeli President Reuven Rivlin invited Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu, and Blue and White leader Benny Gantz, to his residence on Monday in an effort to sway the leaders of the two largest Knesset factions to form a unity government and end the political gridlock that has emerged from the country’s Sept. 17 election.
Netanyahu accepted the president’s invitation immediately, with Gantz accepting about an hour later.
Under Israeli law, following a general election, the president must task a Knesset member with forming a new government. The president must choose the Knesset member that he believes has the best chance of winning a confidence vote in the Knesset plenum.

Leah Goldin, mother of captured Israel Defense Forces’ soldier Hadar Goldin, is scheduled to address the U.N. Human Rights Council in Geneva later this week, where she will call on the international community to help return her son’s remains.
This summer marked five years since Hadar was killed and his body taken by Hamas during a U.N. ceasefire in Israel’s “Operation Protective Edge.”
With each passing day that the Palestinian terror group refuses to return Hadar (and the remains of another IDF soldier, Oron Shaul), Goldin says they continue to “cruelly torment our family, with their inhumanity seemingly knowing no bounds.”
