Prime Minister Binyamin Netanyahu and his wife Sara on Thursday traveled to the yishuv of Har Bracha to pay a shiva visit to the Yaniv family, whose two sons, h’yd, were murdered in a terror attack in Huwara on Sunday. Netanyahu told the bereaved mother: “You speak from your heart’s blood. Eretz Yisrael is acquired with suffering, there’s no greater suffering than this.” “This abominable murder – if they could they would kill us all, until the last one. They want to uproot us from our homeland. We need to deepen our roots, our settlement, and ultimately, this is a battle we will win. Look at what was here 50 years ago and what we have here today.

Police have arrested Ron Reeder, 52, in connection with the fatal shooting of 46-year-old Jermaine Dixon in Queens in September 2021. Reeder, who was dressed in Hasidic-style clothes at the time of the shooting, was apprehended in New Jersey in late February and extradited to New York on Thursday to face charges of murder and weapons offenses. The shooting took place on South Conduit Avenue near 132nd Street in South Ozone Park, Queens. Dixon was shot at point-blank range and died shortly after. The gunman had attempted to steal the $10,000 in cash that Dixon had on him, but he ran away before he could take the money.

Esty Yaniv, the mother of the kedoshim Hillel and Yigal Yaniv, h’yd, who were murdered in Huwara on Sunday, expressed outrage at the Israeli crowdfunding campaign that raised almost $465,000 for the residents of the Arab village. After enraged Jews rioted in the town and set properties on fire following the murder of the Yaniv brothers, an Israel left-wing activist, a religious Jew named Yaya Fink, launched a crowdfunding campaign for the residents of the town whose properties were damaged. It should be noted that Jews living in Yehudah and Shomron, who must travel through the village on a daily basis as a major road, Route 60, passes through the town, come under almost daily attacks from Arabs in Huwara.

An opinion article published on Ynet claimed that the protests against the government’s judicial reform plan “is not about judicial reform but about secular-liberal Israelis’ fear of Charedim.” “It is not about the government’s proposal to reform the judicial system and not the criminal trial of Prime Minister Binyamin Netanyahu,” the article, written by Alon Goldstein, begins. “It is not about the occupation or the high cost of living. It is not even about the alleged social inequality and racial injustice.” “It is about anxiety and deep-rooted fear. Large swaths of Israel’s secular-liberal society are in the throes of a historic process of mourning. “The truth is that the Chareidi population is growing at an unprecedented rate in Israel.

The FBI announced that it arrested a former University of Michigan employee who threatened to kill all Jewish elected officials in Michigan.

Prime Minister Binyamin Netanyahu spoke to the press on Wednesday evening following a day of violent protests against the government’s judicial reform plan. As he was speaking, his wife Sara was stuck in a hair salon in Tel Aviv as an angry mob of protesters gathered outside. “Citizens of Israel, the right to demonstrate is a fundamental democratic value; however, freedom to demonstrate is not freedom to bring the country to a halt,” Netanyahu said. “The person who said this 20 years ago was the former President of the Supreme Court, Aharon Barak. It was correct then and it is also correct today. The freedom to demonstrate is not a license to drive the country into anarchy, to chaos, because a sovereign country cannot tolerate anarchy.

David Friedman, former US Ambassador to Israel and an ally of former President Donald Trump, has confirmed his opposition to the judicial overhaul being pushed by Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu’s government. Friedman’s opposition was revealed in an Axios report, where he pushed back on one of the overhaul’s key architects, Religious Zionism MK Simcha Rothman’s claims that the proposals would make Israel more like the US. During a private session of a conference organized by conservative think tanks, Friedman said, “You compare this to the US, but it doesn’t work like that in our system,” drawing applause from many in the room. He also singled out the “override clause,” which would let the government re-legislate laws struck down by the courts.

Police needed to rescue Sara Netanyahu from an angry mob of violent demonstrators, Tuesday night. The mob had gathered outside a hair salon in Tel Aviv, where the prime minister’s wife was getting a haircut. Once the protesters learned that Netanyahu was at the Kikar HaMedina Plaza, they rushed to the scene, and the police were called to keep the masses away from the building, as she was forced to wait inside the salon for hours. Eventually, large police forces arrived on the scene and evacuated Netanyahu. Afterward, the prime minister tweeted a picture of himself embracing his wife, expressing that the anarchy needs to stop because it could end up costing lives.

Former President Donald Trump has accused Fox News – the most prominent conservative television network in the country – of “aiding and abetting the destruction of America” in his latest rant on social media. Trump has long felt that Fox News hasn’t been loyal enough to him, but now he’s screaming mad at the network over court filings in which Fox executives made clear that they – and the network’s most prominent conservative hosts – don’t believe his rigged election claims.

An Arab resident of east Jerusalem who planned to assassinate National Security Minister Itamar Ben-Gvir during Ramadan was arrested several weeks ago in a joint operation by Israel Police and the Shin Bet.
