An advertising campaign by the Republican Jewish Coalition seeks to confront Jewish voters with what it calls “Biden’s shameful hypocrisy.”
“As antisemitism spikes to record highs and America’s relationship with our ally Israel continues to reach new lows, the Jewish community is more energized than ever to turn the page from the failures, broken promises, and betrayals by Joe Biden,” stated Norm Coleman and Matt Brooks, national chairman and CEO of the RJC, respectively.
Coleman and Brooks said the group would release an “opening salvo of hyper-targeted digital ads” to run in “the key battleground states of Pennsylvania, Arizona, Georgia, Nevada and Michigan, targeting Jewish voters by deploying the most cutting-edge data operation in Jewish politics.”

Israel’s Communications Ministry on Tuesday seized an Associated Press webcam in the southern town of Sderot, accusing the agency of airing troop movements in the Gaza Strip and providing services to Al Jazeera, in violation of a law that prohibits the outlet from operating in the country.
“The confiscated camera broadcast the northern Gaza Strip live on the Al Jazeera channel in violation of the law,” the Ministry of Communications said in a statement shared with JNS, adding that the AP live feed revealed “the activities of the IDF forces and endangered our fighters.”

Alan Dershowitz, a prominent lawyer and cable news legal analyst known for representing O.J. Simpson during his murder trial and Donald Trump during his first impeachment proceedings, got into a courtroom tiff with his counterpart at CNN, Norm Eisen, during Trump’s New York City trial on Monday, according to NBC News, which witnessed the tense exchange.

The federal judge who last week sentenced David DePape to 30 years behind bars for breaking into the San Francisco home of Nancy Pelosi and attacking her husband with a hammer said a day later that she would reopen his sentencing hearing, citing a “clear error” by the court. District Judge Jacqueline Scott Corley said she’d failed to ask DePape if he wanted to make a statement at the Friday hearing, an oversight that apparently went unnoticed at the time by both the prosecution and the defense.
“Nonetheless, it was the Court’s responsibility to personally ask Mr. DePape if he wanted to speak,” the judge wrote, according to the Associated Press. Prosecutors alerted the court to the mistake shortly after the sentence was handed down, Corley’s court order said.

Israeli Minister Benny Gantz’s National Unity Party opposes the establishment of a Palestinian state in exchange for normalization of relations with Saudi Arabia, fellow party member and minister-without-portfolio Chili Tropper told the country’s Army Radio on Monday.
“A few weeks ago, we introduced a motion against [establishing a Palestinian state] at the Knesset together with [Prime Minister Benjamin] Netanyahu,” Tropper declared.
However, if the Jewish state “continues to stand on the sidelines and let the USA, Saudi Arabia and the entire world deal with the issue of the Palestinian state and the day after [Hamas], the world may recognize a Palestinian state over our heads,” claimed the Israeli minister.

Close to three-fourths of the humanitarian aid transported from a new $320 million floating pier built by the U.S. military off the Gaza coast was stolen en route to a U.N. warehouse, Reuters reported.
Eleven trucks “were cleaned out by Palestinians” on the journey to the World Food Programme warehouse in Deir El Balah in the central Strip, with only five truckloads making it to the destination.

“They’ve not seen trucks for a while,” a U.N. official told Reuters. “They just basically mounted on the trucks and helped themselves to some of the food parcels.”

 
According to the United Nations, no aid was delivered to the warehouse from the U.S. military’s pier on Sunday and Monday.

A prominent ex-BBC chief added his voice to the growing outcry over the network’s bias against Israel, which though long-standing, has become increasingly apparent post-Oct. 7.
“Something is going badly wrong. Mistakes don’t happen 80 times,” David Cohen, former director of BBC Television from 2013 until 2015, wrote in The Telegraph on Tuesday, noting that since Oct. 7, BBC Arabic “has been forced to make 80 corrections to its reporting.”
Among the most egregious examples: a report questioning whether the massacre at Kibbutz Kfar Aza even took place, playing into antisemitic conspiracy theories.

The Netanyahu government should agree to discuss a Palestinian state as part of normalization talks with Saudi Arabia, opposition leader Yair Lapid stated on Tuesday.
“Netanyahu should announce that he has entered into negotiations with the Saudis, including the Palestinian component,” he told Army Radio.
“The Palestinian Authority should only partake in the civil component in Gaza,” Lapid said. “We need a model like Areas A and B [of Judea and Samaria]; the Israel Defense Forces enters and operates there whenever it wants.”
The Yesh Atid Party leader continued, “We should not let Abu Mazen [P.A. leader Mahmoud Abbas] handle the security issue—but why should we care that they clean the sidewalks and not us?”

A group of former Trump administration foreign policy officials met with Israeli Prime Minister Bibi Netanyahu and other officials on Monday.
The group was headed by former national security advisor Robert O’Brien and accompanied by former U.S. ambassador to the United Arab Emirates John Rakolta and former ambassador to Switzerland Ed McMullen, according to Reuters.
The report quotes an official close to the matter as saying that the trip was not arranged by former president Donald Trump, but that the three have his ear on matters of foreign policy and so he will nevertheless likely be briefed on the conversations.

One person was killed and several others were injured when a Singapore Airlines Flight 321 encountered “severe turbulence” en route from London to Singapore, the company said Tuesday evening local time.
The aircraft, a Boeing 777-300ER, was carrying 211 passengers and 18 crew members. It left London’s Heathrow airport slightly after 10:30 p.m. on Monday. It was cruising at an altitude of 37,000 feet as it passed the western coast of Myanmar when it suddenly dropped to 31,000 feet in minutes, according to flight data captured by Flightradar24.
The plane was diverted to Bangkok, where it landed at Suvarnabhumi Airport. By Tuesday evening, emergency crews said they had transported the people injured from the airport to medical facilities.
