The Israel Defense Forces is constructing a security fence surrounding the new road that bypasses the central Samaria terrorist hotspot of Huwara, the military told reporters on Wednesday.
The decision to erect a fence around the new highway, which was opened only a year ago, was taken in response to repeated stone-throwing attacks from Arab villages, HaKol HaYehudi reported.
“The decision to construct a fence around Huwara was made in accordance with security considerations and provides additional protection to residents of the Samaria sector,” the IDF said. “The IDF works defensively and offensively to counter terrorism in the Samaria area and to maintain the safety of the citizens.”

President-elect Donald Trump on Thursday named Pam Bondi, the former attorney general of Florida, to be U.S. attorney general just hours after his other choice, Matt Gaetz, withdrew his name from consideration. Bondi is a longtime Trump ally and was one of his lawyers during his first impeachment trial, when he was accused — but not convicted — of abusing his power as he tried to condition U.S. military assistance to Ukraine on that country investigating then-former Vice President Joe Biden. Bondi was among a group of Republicans who showed up to support Trump at his hush money criminal trial in New York that ended in May with a conviction on 34 felony counts. She’s been a chair at the America First Policy Institute, a think tank set up by former Trump administration staffers.

President Joe Biden has criticized the International Criminal Court’s (ICC) decision to issue arrest warrants for Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu and former Defense Minister Yoav Gallant, labeling the move as “outrageous.” “Let me be clear once again: whatever the ICC might imply, there is no equivalence—none—between Israel and Hamas. We will always stand with Israel against threats to its security,” Biden declared in his first official response to the ICC’s controversial decision. The ICC, based in The Hague, announced Thursday that it had approved arrest warrants for Netanyahu and Gallant on suspicion of war crimes, along with a warrant for Hamas military leader Mohammed Deif, whose death from an IDF airstrike remains unconfirmed by Hamas.

Robert F. Kennedy Jr. has said that he drinks raw milk and has criticized the Food and Drug Administration over its “aggressive suppression” of products such as raw milk, which he suggested “advances human health.”
The nation’s health agencies have warned against this claim by Kennedy, President-elect Donald Trump’s pick to head the Department of Health and Human Services. “Unpasteurized milk can pose a serious health risk,” the FDA has said, and “raw milk can be a source of foodborne illness,” the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention has said.
We asked food scientists questions about raw milk and the pasteurization process.

President-elect Donald Trump announced Thursday that Pam Bondi, Florida’s former attorney general, will be his choice to head the Justice Department. This came shortly after Matt Gaetz, who was originally tapped for the role, withdrew from consideration earlier the same day.
“For too long, the partisan Department of Justice has been weaponized against me and other Republicans – Not anymore,” Trump, 78, said in a statement on Truth Social. “Pam will refocus the DOJ to its intended purpose of fighting Crime, and Making America Safe Again. I have known Pam for many years — She is smart and tough, and is an AMERICA FIRST Fighter, who will do a terrific job as Attorney General!”

The U.S. leads the world in developing artificial intelligence technology, surpassing China in research and other important measures of AI innovation, according to a newly released Stanford University index. There’s no surefire way to rank global AI leadership but Stanford researchers have made an attempt by measuring the “vibrancy” of the AI industry across various dimensions, from how much research and investment is happening to how responsibly the technology is being pursued to prevent harm. “The gap is actually widening” between the U.S. and China, said computer scientist Ray Perrault, director of the steering committee that runs Stanford’s AI Index. “The U.S.

UN Watch, an NGO watchdog focused on the United Nations, exposed a meeting between Former UNRWA commissioner general Pierre Krahenbuhl and leaders of designated Palestinian terrorist organizations during his term in 2017.
