President Donald Trump stated in a newly aired interview that the goal of his administration’s current negotiations with Iran is the “total dismantlement” of its nuclear infrastructure. However, he added that he would be open to permitting Iran to maintain a civilian nuclear energy program.
The interview, which took place on Friday and was broadcast Sunday on NBC’s Meet the Press, spanned numerous topics, including Trump’s early priorities during his second term in office.
NBC host Kristen Welker asked the president directly if he would only accept “total dismantlement of Iran’s nuclear program” as part of the negotiations.
“Total dismantlement. Yes, that is all I would accept,” Trump answered.

Rav Reuven Kamenetsky, a respected Rosh Kollel in Yerushalayim, has released a recorded message delivering a clear and urgent message regarding the opinion of his revered uncle, Rav Shmuel Kamenetsky.
In the message, Rav Reuven reveals that Rav Shmuel strongly endorses the Eretz HaKodesh slate in the World Zionist Organization (WZO) elections, warning that it would be a tremendous Chilul Hashem if the non-Orthodox movements gain strength at the expense of Torah-aligned parties. He stresses that Torah Jewry must make its voice heard by voting for Eretz HaKodesh.

A recently posted video on the official YouTube channel of Israeli Prime Minister Bibi Netanyahu’s office has drawn attention after it was edited to omit a moment from a speech earlier this week in which he briefly forgot the name of his son, Avner.
The updated version of the video features an obvious jump cut, removing the segment where Netanyahu mistakenly referred to his son as Abraham before pausing to ask the audience for help recalling the correct name.
“What’s his name?” Netanyahu said before asking someone in the crowd his son’s name. “Avner, thanks.”

President Trump took ABC’s Terry Moran to task during a contentious interview marking Trump’s 100th day back in office, bluntly stating why he agreed to speak with him—and delivering a dose of personal humiliation in the process.
“Hey, they’re giving you the big break of a lifetime, you know you’re doing the interview,” Trump said. “I picked you because frankly, I never heard of you.”

As the interview grew more confrontational, Trump expressed his displeasure with Moran’s tone. “I picked you, but you’re not being very nice,” he complained.
The fiery exchange came as Moran questioned the president over the deportation of Kilmar Abrego Garcia, raising doubts about whether the man’s tattoos were legitimate proof of gang affiliation.

Israeli President Isaac Herzog opened the country’s Memorial Day events on Tuesday evening with a somber state ceremony at the Kosel in Yerushalayim, honoring fallen Israel Defense Forces soldiers and victims of terrorism.
Speaking alongside Israeli Defense Minister Yisroel Katz, IDF Chief of Staff Lt. Gen. Eyal Zamir and bereaved families, Herzog issued a passionate call for national unity and demanded the return of all hostages still held in Gaza.

“This year, more than ever, the siren’s sound is also a true alarm,” said Herzog. “It rises like a terrible cry … for the kidnapped, the wounded, the murdered. We will not rest and we will not be still—until all of you come home. Every single one.”

President Trump marked the milestone of his second term’s first 100 days with an energetic rally in Michigan on Tuesday evening, asserting that his administration had achieved more in that short span than others manage in an entire presidency.
“We’ve accomplished more in three months than most administrations accomplish in four years or even eight years,” Trump, 78, declared. “And we’re just getting started.
“Believe me, we’re just getting started.”
Throughout his hour-and-a-half address, Trump highlighted his aggressive immigration stance, economic measures, and strategies to reduce government spending as examples of what he described as a highly effective agenda.

Rabbi Moshe Azman, the chief rabbi of Ukraine, has composed a song addressed to President Donald Trump, urging him to take action to help end the war between Russia and Ukraine. His message calls on Trump to become a champion of peace, encouraging him to “fight in the name of light.”
In a post on X published Monday, Rabbi Azman wrote, “My appeal to @POTUS Donald Trump President of the United States of America to help Ukraine achieve a just and lasting peace.” He paired the message with video footage showing Russian missile attacks on Kyiv on April 24, which reportedly resulted in the deaths of 12 people, according to RBC-Ukraine.
The chorus of Rabbi Azman’s composition delivers a pointed plea: “Donald Trump, it’s time to fight in the name of light.”

For the first time since the outbreak of the war, the artillery units of the 282nd Artillery Brigade, operating under the 36th Division, have entered into active operations inside the Gaza Strip. This follows a period of intense engagement across multiple fronts.
Up to this point, the artillery forces have been providing critical backing to the ground units moving through the “Morag” Corridor. Their missions have included the destruction of weapons stockpiles and missile launching areas used by terror groups within Gaza, as well as the elimination of enemy fighters, all coordinated through the Brigade’s Fire Control Center.

Appearing Sunday on NBC’s “Meet the Press,” Senator Bernie Sanders (I-VT) criticized the Democratic Party for not offering a clear plan for the future.
Host Kristen Welker opened the conversation by saying, “Let’s talk about what you have called your oligarchy, and Alexandria Ocasio Cortez have been criss-crossing the country warning of an oligarchy. Senator you told the New York Times, ‘One of the aspects of this is to get people to get engaged in the political process and run as independents outside of the Democratic Party.’ As someone who twice ran in the Democratic presidential primary are you trying to strengthen the Democratic Party or Senator, are you trying to start a third party?”

Appearing on CNN’s “State of the Union” Sunday morning, Senate Minority Leader Chuck Schumer (D-NY) declined to dismiss the idea of pursuing impeachment against President Donald Trump if Democrats succeed in retaking Congress.
During the interview, host Dana Bash asked, “Your colleague from Georgia, Senator Jon Ossoff told voters at a town hall that he strongly agrees that President Trump should be impeached. Do you agree with him? Would that be a priority if Democrats were to take back Congress?”
