If the International Criminal Court and its prosecutor Karim Khan don’t reverse their “outrageous unlawful actions to pursue arrest warrants against Israeli officials, the Senate should immediately pass sanctions legislation, as the House has already done on a bipartisan basis,” Senate Majority Leader-elect John Thune (R-S.D.) wrote on Sunday.
If the outgoing Senate Majority Leader Chuck Schumer (D-N.Y.) “does not act, the Senate Republican majority will stand with our key ally Israel and make this—and other supportive legislation—a top priority in the next Congress,” Thune added.

Dutch authorities announced Sunday they are conducting an investigation involving 45 individuals tied to the violent assaults on Israeli soccer fans that occurred on November 7. According to AFP, nine suspects have already been identified and apprehended.
Dutch police chief Janny Knol explained the gravity of the situation prompted an immediate escalation. “Because of the seriousness of the crimes, but also because of the social impact, we immediately scaled up to a special investigation team,” she stated in a press release.
The inquiry encompasses “all crimes committed in the run-up to the game and in its aftermath,” Knol detailed, referencing the violence in Amsterdam on November 7, which triggered widespread demonstrations and political upheaval across the country.

The Biden administration is still imposing obstacles and delays in the transfer of offensive weapons to its ally Israel in its war against its enemies in Gaza and Lebanon, Walla reported on Monday morning, quoting IDF sources. Despite the pressure of Israeli senior diplomatic and security officials on the Biden administration, there are still difficulties described as “delays’ and even a “grey embargo.” IDF sources said that “officials made it clear to the Israeli side that the administration is receiving criticism for American weaponry harming civilians in Lebanon and the Gaza Strip, hence the delays.

by Rabbi Yair Hoffman “In the choice of the land we shall bury your dead” [Bereishisis 23:6] The Midrashic Teaching T

Reworded by Rabbi Yair Hoffman from a Vaad given and printed in 5784.  Klal Yisroel is blessed that we have Gedolei Torah such as Moreinu HaGaon HaRav Olshin shlita.  This thought on the parsha has been adapted for easier comprehension. At the beginning of Parshas Chayei Sarah, the Torah tells us “Sarah died in Kiryas Arba, which is Hebron, in Canaan, and Avrohom Avinu came to eulogize Sarah and weep for her.” The pasuk makes it clear that Avrohom Avinu wasn’t at home in Hebron with Sarah at the time of her death. The Ramban explains that after the Akeidah, Avrohom didn’t return to his home in Hebron. Instead, he traveled to his Eshel in Be’er Sheva to give thanks for the miracle he had just experienced.

Donald Trump Jr. said Sunday that the team now around the president-elect knows how to choose a Cabinet and build out an administration, unlike the time before his father first took office. Any pushback that Donald Trump’s unconventional choices face from the Washington establishment proves that they are just the kind of disruptors the new administration and voters are demanding, the younger Trump said. “The reality this time is, we actually know what we’re doing. We actually know who the good guys and the bad guys are,” he told Fox News Channel’s “Sunday Morning Futures. “And it’s about surrounding my father with people who are both competent and loyal. They will deliver on his promises. They will deliver on his message.

Rupert Nathan, 63, was arrested by British police and detained for 12 hours after making inflammatory remarks about a Reform rabbi in a private Facebook post. Nathan referred to Gabriel Kanter-Webber as a “creep,” a “fake rabbi,” and a “kapo boy,” sparking allegations of hate speech and antisemitism. For those that don’t know, the term “kapo” refers to Jewish prisoners in Nazi concentration camps who cooperated with their captors, often at the expense of fellow prisoners. Nathan, while acknowledging that his comments were offensive, argued they were neither illegal nor antisemitic. “I admit that calling someone a ‘kapo’ is not a nice thing to do, but it is not a crime,” he told the Daily Mail.

Mike Huckabee, who was appointed Ambassador to Israel by President-elect Donald Trump, told Newsmax that Hamas must be eradicated and the hostages released.
“We have four Americans being held hostage in Gaza — Americans. And this is outrageous that we have not put more pressure, not just on Hamas, but on Iran, which has funded Hamas, Hezbollah, and the Houthis,” Huckabee said on National Report. “We need to put pressure on Qatar. They have influence over Hamas, and they need to understand that Donald Trump doesn’t play around.”
Huckabee stated that Hamas can no longer control Gaza.
