National Economic Council Director Kevin Hassett: “Notice how many announcements that have been made about all the investment that’s coming to the U.S. … then the value of U.S. production has to go up.”

ELIMINATED: Gaza has reported the death of Bakr Suleiman al-Dirawi, a Hamas sniper also recognized for his work in designing and creating sniper rifles.

Sen. James Lankford: This is about the Houthis attacking the Americans — the Houthis have attacked American ships 170+ times. The Trump Administration is pushing back on them strong to stop their attacks on American warships.

President Trump on Iran: “If they don’t make a deal, there will be bombing — and it will be bombing the likes of which they have never seen before.”

Over the past week, troops of the 810th Brigade, under the command of the 210th Division, operated in new areas on the peak of the Syrian Hermon with the goal of neutralizing threats and confiscating enemy equipment in the area. During the operation, troops from the 810th Brigade and the Yahalom Unit, located military infrastructure, including military equipment and an explosive device weighing dozens of kilograms.

Prime Minister Bibi Netanyahu on the final stage of the Gaza war: “Hamas must surrender and disarm. Their leaders can leave. Israel will secure Gaza and move forward with the Trump-backed voluntary migration plan…. That’s the vision, and we’re not hiding it. We’re ready to talk about it anytime.”

DUBAI, United Arab Emirates (AP) — Iran’s president said Sunday that

The most important Republican in New Jersey’s race for governor this year might well be a part-time resident of Bedminster who burnished his reputation and his brand near the Atlantic City Boardwalk. “Donald Trump is the X factor in this GOP primary,” said Ben Dworkin, director of the Rowan Institute for Public Policy & Citizenship. “His endorsement right now could make or break, depending on to whom he gives it.” But in a state that has long leaned Democratic, the president’s endorsement in the June 10 primary could complicate things in a general election, where the winner of a six-person Democratic field awaits. That may explain why one Republican candidate, state Sen. Jon Bramnick, has criticized Trump over his pardons for those involved in the Jan. 6, 2021, riot at the U.S.

The defense secretary’s decision to review military standards on combat and physical fitness and appearance opens a Pandora’s box of widely differing rules among the services. And it will raise a crucial question: Should there be a cookie-cutter approach, or should service differences, evolving social norms and recruiting realities play a role in policy decisions? Pete Hegseth has been very public about his opposition to women in combat jobs and his belief that standards were lowered to accommodate women, and he warned there would be reviews to address the issues. He is a staunch proponent of making all standards the same, regardless of gender, and military officials are braced for changes as reviews continue.

CBS POLL: Most Americans approve of President Trump’s handling of immigration — “and his deportation program is still net positive and popular.”

Klal Yisroel was shattered on Motzei Shabbos as the devastating news of the petirah of a mother and her two young daughters R”L, who were tragically niftar in a horrific crash on Shabbos afternoon in Flatbush. The levaya for Natasha (Sara) Saada A”H, and her precious daughters, Diana (7) A”H and Debra (5) A”H, will take place on Sunday at 4:30 PM at Shomrei Hadas Chapels, located at 14th Avenue and 38th Street in Boro Park. The tragedy unfolded on Shabbos afternoon when a vehicle, operated by Miriam Yarimi, 32, plowed into the young mother and her daughters on Ocean Parkway near Quentin Road.

The woman at the center of a horrific crash in Brooklyn that claimed the lives of a mother and her two daughters has been identified as a wig stylist who lives lavishly and previously secured a $2 million payout from the NYPD over claims of abuse as a teenager, according to court filings, the NY Post reports.
Thirty-two-year-old Miriam Yarimi, a mother herself, was reportedly behind the wheel of an Audi with a suspended license when the tragic accident occurred Shabbos afternoon. According to NYPD Commissioner Jessica Tisch, Yarimi’s car collided with a Toyota Camry on Ocean Parkway in the Gravesend area, lost control, and fatally struck a woman and her two daughters who were walking home from shul.

A tragedy was narrowly avoided early Sunday morning in Flatbush, thanks to the quick response of Flatbush Shomrim volunteers who stopped a wrong-way driver barreling down Ocean Parkway—just three blocks from the site of a horrific crash that killed a mother and her two children less than 24 hours ago. At around 6:00 a.m., Shomrim received a frantic call about a vehicle driving against traffic near Ocean Parkway and Avenue N. Volunteers rushed to the scene within seconds and successfully intervened, preventing the driver from colliding with other vehicles or striking pedestrians. The driver, who was found to be four times over the legal alcohol limit, was arrested at the scene by the NYPD.

The Israeli Air Force on Sunday morning intercepted a ballistic missile fired at Israel by Yemen’s Houthi rebels. It was the eighth such attack from the southern Arabia nation in recent weeks.
According to the Israel Defense Forces, the missile was intercepted before entering Israeli airspace. Air-raid sirens were triggered across central Israel, including in the Tel Aviv area and Even Sapir and Aminadav near Yerushalayim, in line with standard protocol.
