Israel’s Ambassador to the United Nations Danny Danon called for the international community to sanction Iran in response to the International Atomic Energy Agency announcing on Monday that the regime exceeded the uranium enrichment limit under the 2015 nuclear deal.
Danon said that Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu “revealed last year that Iran never intended to develop nuclear technology for peaceful purposes. Now, the regime just demonstrated it by enriching over [600 pounds] of uranium,” referring to the maximum of low-enriched uranium allowed under the agreement.

Money in Der Erd

By Rabbi Berach Steinfeld
In Bamidbar, Perek Tes Zayin, posuk lamed bais, the posuk tells us that the earth opened its mouth and swallowed Korach and his people and their houses.
 
There is well known rule in the gemara in Kesubos, daf lamed zayin, amud alef that says that when a person is deserving of two punishments, death and a requirement to pay money, we say that the person is only punished with the death sentence and is exempt from paying the money. This is so since a person can only be punished with one thing for one aveirah. If this is so, why were the houses and all the money of Korach and his following also swallowed up in the earth?

Israel will be destroyed in half an hour if the United States attacks Iran, a senior Iranian parliamentarian said on Monday, according to the semi-official Mehr news agency.
Weeks of tensions culminated last month in US President Donald Trump’s last-minute decision to call off planned strikes on Iran after Tehran downed an American drone.
Washington also accused Iran of being behind attacks on ships in the Gulf, which Tehran denies.
“If the US attacks us, only half an hour will remain of Israel‘s lifespan,” Mojtaba Zolnour, the chairman of the Iranian parliament’s National Security and Foreign Policy commission said on Monday, according to Mehr.

New Jersey Gov. Phil Murphy has backing from liberal voters, public unions and a national Democratic party agitating for progressive values in the age of Donald Trump. Foes within his own party may have higher-octane fuel: residents’ disgust with some of the highest taxes in the U.S.
Murphy signed a $38.7 billion budget on Sunday, avoiding a government shutdown that could have cost him politically. The plan increases spending to make a record $3.8 billion pension payment and boosts funding for property-tax relief, public schools and the cash-strapped New Jersey Transit agency. Still, the governor lost his fight for a millionaire’s tax with the more-moderate Democrats who control New Jersey’s Senate and Assembly.

The world’s richest can’t give away their money fast enough – but that’s not stopping them from trying.
Warren Buffett said Monday he plans to donate $3.6 billion of Berkshire Hathaway stock to five charities – one of his largest gifts ever – while Walmart heir Jim Walton gave away $1.2 billion of the retailer’s shares last week. And Home Depot co-founder Bernie Marcus said this weekend he’s planning to gift almost his entire $4.5 billion fortune before he dies.

El Salvador’s President Nayib Bukele said his country bears responsibility for the recent drowning deaths of a father and his toddler daughter who had been attempting to cross into the United States, saying that security and economic hardships he inherited are driving people to make the perilous journey.
The shocking photograph of Óscar Alberto Martínez Ramírez and his 2-year-old daughter, Valeria, lying face down and embracing on a shallow bank of the Rio Grande provoked a renewed backlash against stringent Trump administration policies last week.
President Donald Trump, in turn, blamed Democrats.
