As Israel expands its military operation in Rafah, it said some 300,000 Palestinians have fled toward Mawasi, a stretch of land near the sea in southern part of the territory designated a humanitarian zone.
The evacuation orders in Rafah, where more than 1 million Palestinians had sought shelter from fighting elsewhere in Gaza, signaled an imminent escalation – a move that could prompt the White House to freeze offensive weapons shipments. Israel Defense Forces spokesman Daniel Hagari described the Rafah operation early Sunday as “precise” and “limited in scope,” saying that Israeli forces were avoiding the city’s “densely populated areas.”

Nowadays, business owners understand that it is important to have a connection with customers, and Customer Relationship Management (CRM) systems play a big role. Most of the small and medium-sized enterprises instead of choosing generic solutions, go for a customized CRM that perfectly suits their businesses.
Here’s a straightforward perspective: Instead of settling for a generic CRM system, picture crafting a distinct solution tailored to support your business. Custom CRM development lets you pick services that directly match your goals. It’s not just a tool for handling customer interactions; it becomes a smart asset that fits into every part of how your business works.
What is CRM Development?

The brouhaha surrounding the closure of Al Jazeera’s Israel operations is part of a broader disinformation campaign against the Jewish state. Even the way the move is being portrayed by the Qatari media outlet—as a violation of free speech—is a lie.
Not surprising, given that mendacity is a requirement for employees of the network. But bad journalism isn’t behind the legislation, which passed last month in a landslide Knesset vote and unanimously by the Cabinet on Sunday.

As the Israeli government and Hamas appear to close in on a possible hostage deal, members of the coalition from both sides of the aisle are weighing in.
War cabinet members Benny Gantz and Gadi Eizenkot have threatened to leave the government if Israel refuses a deal because of what they call political “blackmail.” On the other side are those Prime Minister Bibi Netanyahu is far more afraid of: The two right-wing parties in his coalition, Itamar Ben-Gvir’s Otzma Yehudit and Bezalel Smotrich’s Religious Zionism. Without these two parties, Netanyahu will lose his Knesset majority.

Tens of thousands of Yidden attended a mass Birkas Kohanim this morning at the Kosel. The large Birkas Kohanim is held every Chol Hamoed and draws tremendous crowds.
The entire Old City of Yerushalayim was closed to vehicles as thousands streamed by foot and via bus to the Kosel. Some had davened Shacharis elsewhere, while others took part at minyanim at the Kosel. All joined together for the central Birkas Kohanim,with the Kosel chazzan calling out the bracha over a microphone. Hundreds of kohanim gathered at the front of the minyan, right by the Kosel, to bentch their fellow Yidden.

Iran could make a dash for the bomb in a matter of weeks, the head of the United Nations nuclear watchdog said, adding that Tehran’s activity “raises eyebrows.”
International Atomic Energy Agency chief Rafael Mariano Grossi told Deutsche Welle that Iran is “weeks rather than months” away from having sufficient enriched uranium to manufacture a bomb.
In late December, the agency said Iran had tripled its uranium enrichment level to 60%, which is just a short technical step away from 90% weapons-grade.
“I have been telling my Iranian counterparts time and again …, this activity raises eyebrows and compounded with the fact that we are not getting the necessary degree of access and visibility that I believe should be necessary,” he said.

N12 reported on Thursday night that the International Criminal Court (ICC) is possibly contemplating the issuance of international arrest warrants against Prime Minister Bibi Netanyahu and other high-ranking officials for alleged war crimes.
The ICC boasts a membership of approximately 125 countries, including the majority of European nations, which are obligated by treaty law to respect the ICC’s arrest warrants. However, instances have arisen where countries have contested such warrants and refused to adhere to them.
The report sparked confusion as the ICC has yet to resolve key jurisdictional issues before considering arrest warrants.

Former U.S. Ambassador to Israel David Friedman said he believed “there’s some truth” to reports that U.S. President Joe Biden negotiated in advance with Iran on the extent of its massive missile attack on Israel.
During the Tuesday edition of the New York City-based radio show, “Sid & Friends in the Morning,” host Sid Rosenberg said he believed that Biden was “behind the whole thing” referring to the missile barrage on Israel.
“I was kind of skeptical, but as the stories are coming out… Look, if this ends up being true, this will be an absolute outrage and a scandal the likes of which I haven’t seen before,” Friedman agreed.

Thousands of African migrants gathered outside City Hall in New York City on Tuesday to participate in a hearing on the black experience in the city’s shelter system.
Some of the migrants said they were promised green cards or work permits for attending the hearing. The migrants, who were mainly new arrivals from Guinea in West Africa, were reportedly directed to City Hall by an activist group.

The Israel Security Agency (Shin Bet) announced on Sunday that a mourner’s wreath left outside the door of Hamas hostage Liri Albag’s family was the work of “Iranian elements.” Police have opened an investigation into the incident.
The wreath was delivered to her family’s home in Moshav Yarhiv in central Israel. It included the inscription, “May her memory be blessed. The country is the most important.”
Albag, 19, was captured from the Nahal Oz Base on the Gaza border on Oct. 7. She is still presumed to be alive, particularly following a Daily Mail report late last month stating that Israeli forces had found traces of her DNA in Gaza.
