New York Times political analyst Nate Cohn says that so-called “shy Trump voters” could once again skew poll results in favor of former President Donald Trump. In a report based on the Times’ final poll with Siena College, Cohn highlighted inconclusive results in seven key battleground states, noting potential polling inaccuracies due to nonresponse bias among Republican voters. The final survey shows a mixed picture in battleground states, with Trump leading Kamala Harris by four points in Arizona and one point in Michigan. Harris, meanwhile, leads by one point in Georgia and three points in Nevada, North Carolina, and Wisconsin. Both candidates are neck and neck in Pennsylvania, widely considered a critical swing state for either side.

In an attempt at damage control, Haaretz is hastily trying to distance itself from a firestorm created by its own publisher, Amos Schocken. Schocken’s comments, in which he referred to Palestinian terrorists as “freedom fighters,” have not only angered Israelis but also prompted multiple government ministries to sever ties with the notoriously left-wing newspaper. Schocken, speaking at a Haaretz conference in London last week, decided to air his grievances against the Israeli government with remarkable tone-deafness, stating, “The Netanyahu government doesn’t care about imposing a cruel apartheid regime on the Palestinian population.

Israel has formally notified the United Nations of its decision to withdraw from the 1967 agreement that recognized the United Nations Relief and Works Agency for Palestine Refugees in the Near East (UNRWA), following recent Knesset legislation that limits the agency’s operations within Israel, the West Bank, and Gaza. Jacob Blitshtein, Director-General of Israel’s Foreign Ministry, conveyed the decision in a letter to UN General Assembly President Philemon Yang. Blitshtein emphasized Israel’s commitment to working with international partners and other UN agencies to ensure humanitarian aid reaches Gaza without compromising Israeli security. “Israel expects the United Nations to contribute to and cooperate in this effort,” he wrote.

The IDF is pushing forward with plans to establish a new Chareidi infantry brigade, despite ongoing protests and heated debates around the military service exemption bill for yeshivaleit. The brigade’s first group of recruits is set to begin training this December at a newly renovated facility in the Jordan Valley, according to a report by Yisrael Hayom. The Tavetz training base is undergoing a $46 million overhaul to accommodate religious soldiers, with upgrades including four new shuls and specially designed infrastructure to support religious observance. The facility will host the initial wave of Charedi recruits who will join a standard infantry brigade. The project is led by Col. Avinoam Emunah under the command of Maj. Gen. David Zini, head of the IDF Training Command.

Former President Donald Trump is reportedly feeling the pressure as Election Day approaches, grappling with anxiety and sleepless nights as he monitors polling numbers in his bid to reclaim the White House. According to a campaign official who spoke with Axios, Trump has been more hands-on than ever, frequently questioning his staff and urging them to ramp up efforts to secure victory over Vice President Kamala Harris. “Trump’s anxiety is evident in his late-night and early morning calls to aides, peppering them with questions on how things are going—and whether they think he’ll win,” reported Axios.

Iran has the technical capability to produce nuclear weapons if it chooses, an adviser to Iranian Supreme Leader Ali Khamenei revealed on Friday. In an interview with the Hezbollah-affiliated Al-Mayadeen outlet, Kamal Kharrazi said Iran is ready to develop nuclear arms, but is currently restrained by a religious decree. “We now have the technical capabilities necessary to produce nuclear weapons,” Kharrazi said. “Only the supreme leader’s fatwa currently prohibits it,” he added, referencing a religious ruling issued by Khamenei in the mid-1990s against the use of nuclear arms. However, Kharrazi hinted that the policy might shift if Iran’s security were significantly threatened. “If the survival of Iran comes under serious threat, we reserve the right to reconsider,” he warned.

An Israeli official stated that a ceasefire agreement with Hezbollah in Lebanon could be achieved within 10 to 14 days, according to a report on Channel 12 news. The United States has been actively advocating for a truce to bring stability to the Israel-Lebanon border, over a year after Hezbollah began launching frequent missile and drone attacks on Israel. On Wednesday, the Kan public broadcaster reported details of a proposed ceasefire agreement, said to be drafted by the United States. This plan reportedly includes the enforcement of UN Security Council Resolution 1701, which prohibits Hezbollah from maintaining forces south of the Litani River. (YWN World Headquarters – NYC)

As a longtime and deeply committed supporter of President Donald Trump, I feel compelled to speak out about some of his recent comments. With just days to go until the election, the stakes couldn’t be higher. Our nation stands at a crossroads, and the outcome will likely come down to a few undecided voters in key states. Now is the time to focus on the issues that matter most, not to risk alienating potential supporters with offhand, inflammatory remarks. But on Sunday, Trump made two remarks that left me—and many others—scratching our heads and feeling frustrated. First, he said he thought he “shouldn’t have left” the White House after losing the 2020 election.

Israeli commandos recently conducted a covert operation in southern Syria, capturing a Syrian man allegedly conducting surveillance activities on behalf of Iran, the IDF revealed Sunday. The operation was led by the elite Egoz commando unit in coordination with field interrogators from the Intelligence Directorate’s Unit 504. The captured individual, identified as Ali Suleiman al-Asi, resided in the village of Saida in Syria’s Daraa Governorate. According to the IDF, al-Asi had been working on Iran’s behalf, gathering intelligence on Israeli military operations along the border with Syria in preparation for potential future attacks.

Hatzolah of Passaic/Clifton (HoPC), along with virtually every other EMS organization in New Jersey, is run by EMTs (Emergency Medical Technicians) who treat and transport patients in need to the hospital. Their training includes vital monitoring, bleeding control, some medication administration, and other lifesaving measures. EMTs fall under the BLS, or Basic Life Support, category. Paramedics have additional training that allows them to perform and interpret EKGs, secure advanced airways (such as intubation), perform electrical therapy, and carry over 40 lifesaving medications. In New Jersey, paramedics work under the supervision and direction of hospitals and fall under the ALS, or Advanced Life Support, category.
