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.

According to the latest Israeli intelligence assessments, 51 of the 101 hostages still held by Hamas in the Gaza Strip are believed to be alive. The update, based on extensive intelligence gathered since October 7, 2023, combines public sources with classified data to inform Israel’s response as military operations intensify in Gaza. Officials fear that the actual number of surviving hostages could be even lower, given the harsh conditions in captivity and ongoing military pressures. In a closed session with the Knesset Foreign Affairs and Defense Committee in September, Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu shared that intelligence suggested roughly half of the hostages were alive. Families of hostages have been kept informed of these assessments, though responses vary.

Curtis Sliwa, a Republican candidate for New York City Mayor, is being accused of antisemitism over comments he made at a pro-Trump rally. “I tell the Jews all the time – I’m a Gentile, it’s in our DNA,” Sliwa said about antisemitism. “You need to wake up and understand that we always blame the Jews no matter what happens, and no matter what peace agreements you make. They will always hate you. That’s how it is in America and that’s how it is in other places. I also have to hold myself back sometimes, and I have two Jewish children.” Sliwa’s statements imply that anti-Semitism is inherent to non-Jews, and he struggles with these feelings himself. It’s not the first time that Sliwa has been accused of being an anti-Semite.

In a stunning turn of events, Vice President Kamala Harris has surged ahead of former President Donald Trump in Iowa, a state long considered a reliable conservative stronghold. The latest Des Moines Register/Mediacom Iowa poll shows Harris leading Trump 47% to 44% among likely voters, with a margin of error of 3.4%. This unexpected shift marks a major reversal from previous polls. In September, Trump held a four-point lead over Harris, while in June, he enjoyed an 18-point advantage over President Joe Biden. Veteran pollster J. Ann Selzer described the results as “hard to predict,” noting that Harris “has clearly leaped into a leading position.” The poll also revealed that Robert F.

In a rare deep incursion into northern Lebanon, Israeli naval commandos captured a high-ranking Hezbollah operative late Friday night. The IDF confirmed Saturday that Shayetet 13, Israel’s elite naval commando unit, led the operation, marking a significant departure from typical ground activity limited to southern Lebanon. According to Lebanese media, Israeli special forces arrived by sea, conducted a swift raid on a chalet along the coast in Batroun—located about 140 kilometers north of Israel’s maritime border—and extracted a Hezbollah operative, identified as Imad Amhaz. The team departed quickly via speedboats.
