In Japan, Trump appears to make light of Russian interference during meeting with Putin
President Donald Trump on Friday appeared to make light of Russian election interference during a bilateral meeting with President Vladimir Putin, telling him “don’t meddle in the election” with a grin only after reporters shouted questions about the topic.
Trump met with Putin on the sidelines of the Group of 20 summit here, but he did not initially raise the topic during brief remarks in front of reporters, calling their relationship “very, very good.” He said the two would discuss “trade, including some disarmament, some little protectionism perhaps – in a very positive way.”

Secondly, from their perspective, if there was deterrence and roadblocks to their promised dreams would Hashem have wanted them to suppress their feelings? 

Incendiary balloons launched from Gaza on Thursday caused at least 30 fires, including 17 substantial ones, in southern Israel, according to estimates by Israeli authorities.
“The rash of arson attacks put Thursday on pace to see the largest number of fires started by Gazan balloons in a single day since Palestinians began launching airborne incendiary devices over a year ago,” reported The Times of Israel.
The Israel Defense Forces, the Jewish National Fund, the Parks Authority and local volunteers also assisted in the effort to extinguish the flames.
There have been roughly 100 fires started by arson balloons since Sunday, according to a local fire department.
No injuries have been reported.
