The decision by the International Criminal Court to issue arrest warrants for Israeli Prime Minister Bibi Netanyahu and his former defense minister has been called “one of the most ridiculous and irrational things” by Mike Huckabee, who is President-elect Donald Trump’s nominee for ambassador to Israel. Huckabee expressed his frustration during an interview with Newsmax on Friday.
“I was outraged,” Huckabee, the former governor of Arkansas, shared on Newsmax’s Wake Up America. “The ICC is a joke, but it’s a bad joke, and the tragedy is, it’s not funny. It’s not funny because they are playing with absolute fire.”

“Telling your wife your needs and wants” is a complete waste of time for married men who want happiness and I’ll tell you why. So many marriage experts claim they have the secret to a happy marriage and that it all comes down to communication, boundaries and bringing in more money. They tell you to help out more at home, talk about the past, go together to a marriage professional but never stop to take inventory of whether ANY of these methods are actually WORKING in creating happiness and joy! I am not saying those strategies don’t work at all, but they are the long… slow… painful way of having a happy home.


Three people were taken into custody following a protest in downtown Montreal that descended into violence on Friday evening. Demonstrators vandalized property, shattering windows and torching cars, during an event that combined opposition to a NATO parliamentary summit with pro-Palestinian activism, according to the Montreal Gazette.
The unrest occurred as around 300 NATO representatives gathered in Montreal for a summit addressing key issues, including the conflict in Ukraine, climate initiatives, and the alliance’s strategic goals. The event, which runs from November 22-25, coincided with a second consecutive day of widespread student-led pro-Palestinian protests across the city, as reported by the Montreal Gazette.

Israel’s National Security Council on Sunday raised the travel warning to Thailand to Level 2 (recommendation to take increased precautions) due to terror threats against Israelis in the country. The warning follows the shocking murder of Chabad shaliach in the UAE, HaRav Tzvi Kogan, H”yd, and also comes almost two weeks after the Prime Minister’s Office announced that there were “increasing fears of attacks on Israelis and Jews across Thailand.” At the time, Israeli media reports said that the warning was issued after Thai police uncovered a terror plot against Israelis on the tourist island of Koh Phangan, a popular hotspot for Israeli tourists. The NSC recommended that Israelis in Thailand avoid: 1.

The European Union’s (EU) top diplomat stated  that member nations of the EU cannot arbitrarily decide whether to enforce International Criminal Court (ICC) arrest warrants issued for Israeli Prime Minister Bibi Netanyahu and former Defense Minister Yoav Gallant.
Since all EU countries have signed the Rome Statute, which established the ICC, they are bound by its terms. However, Hungarian Prime Minister Viktor Orban has invited Netanyahu to Hungary, providing assurances that no arrest would occur.
“The states that signed the Rome convention are obliged to implement the decision of the court. It’s not optional,” said Josep Borrell, the EU’s outgoing foreign policy head, during a visit to Cyprus.

By Rabbi Yair Hoffman A significant mix-up occurred at the Assuta Medical Center in Rishon Lezion during an IVF procedure in 2022.

The Court Decision In a landmark ruling, the Rishon Lezion Family Court determined that the genetic parents should be recognized as the child’s legal parents. The ruling, issued by Judge Oved Elias, ordered that the child be removed from the custody of the birth parents and transferred to the genetic parents.
