Israeli Prime Minister Bibi Netanyahu warned on Tuesday about the potential perils of a nuclear deal with Iran, ahead of taking off for Israel following his meeting the previous day with U.S. President Donald Trump at the White House.
“We agree that Iran will not have nuclear weapons. This can be done by agreement, but only if this agreement is Libyan-style: They go in, blow up the installations, dismantle all of the equipment under American supervision and carried out by America—this would be good,” he said.
“The second possibility—that will not be—is that they drag out the talks, and then there is the military option. Everyone understands this. We spoke about this at length,” he added.

Some 100 people, ranging in age from about 8 to 102, huddled for warmth as they braved 40-degree temperatures on a damp day at Arlington National Cemetery on Monday to watch, as speaker after speaker put it, Pfc. Adolph Hanf and Pvt. David Moser “come home.”
Neither of the Jewish soldiers, who served in World War I and have been dead for more than 100 years, underwent a geographic relocation. But with the help of Operation Benjamin, a donor-supported nonprofit, Moser (1898-1919) and Hanf (1884-1918) received new gravestones with Magein Dovids rather than Latin crosses.

The Trump administration has halted the release of over $1 billion in federal funds earmarked for Cornell University, along with $790 million intended for Northwestern University. This decision comes as a direct result of civil rights probes currently underway at both institutions.
“The money was frozen in connection with several ongoing, credible, and concerning Title VI investigations,” a Trump admin official told Fox News.
According to two administration sources who spoke to the New York Times, the funding freeze primarily targets grants and contracts from several major federal departments, including Agriculture, Defense, Education, and Health and Human Services.

According to a report from Channel 12, Israeli Prime Minister Bibi Netanyahu was only informed on Monday—just hours before his scheduled meeting with President Donald Trump at the White House—that the United States was initiating direct negotiations with Iran over its nuclear weapons program.
The report also notes that Trump did not provide Netanyahu with any guarantees that Washington would ensure Israel’s conditions would be part of any potential agreement with Iran, nor did he promise how the U.S. would respond if the negotiations broke down or if Iran later violated the terms of an agreement.

Senator Chuck Grassley, a Republican from Iowa, who helped draft a bipartisan proposal to rein in President Trump’s authority on trade, said Tuesday that he believes the legislative branch has surrendered too much control to the executive when it comes to trade policy.
“I made very clear throughout my public service that I’m a free and fair trader. The Constitution gives Congress the authority to regulate interstate and foreign commerce. I believe that Congress delegated too much authority to the president in the Trade Expansion Act of 1962 and Trade Act of 1974,” Grassley stated.

In her first in-depth interview since assuming the role of second lady, Usha Vance is offering a candid look at how she’s navigating life in the political spotlight, sharing that her main goal is simply staying grounded.
“To me, the highest priority right now is to be actually a normal person,” Vance, a practicing trial attorney, told The Free Press in a profile published Monday.
“Obviously,” she added, “our lives are not normal, and it feels almost absurd to say that they are.”

Wall Street endured another turbulent session Tuesday, with the Dow Jones Industrial Average staging a dramatic surge early on—climbing more than 1,400 points—only to collapse later in the day as anxiety over international trade once again shook investor confidence.
The Dow initially soared by 1,146 points after the opening bell, fueled by renewed optimism that trade agreements could be reached in time to prevent harsh new tariffs slated to take effect on Wednesday.
Fueling that early enthusiasm were comments from Treasury Secretary Scott Bessent, who hinted that the administration was willing to negotiate. He remarked that they could “end up with some good deals.”

Court documents have revealed that Ryan Wesley Routh attempted to acquire a rocket launcher from Ukraine just weeks prior to his arrest for allegedly trying to assassinate former President Donald Trump at his golf resort in Florida.
According to federal prosecutors in a motion filed Monday, the 58-year-old suspect sought to purchase military-grade weaponry from a person he thought was a Ukrainian contact with access to such arms.
In a conversation conducted over an encrypted messaging platform, Routh allegedly said, “send me an RPG [rocket-propelled grenade] or Stinger and I will see what we can do… [Trump] is not good for Ukraine.”

In an unexpected change of plans, the Vizhnitzer Rebbe of Bnei Brak, Rav Yisroel Hager, will not be returning to Eretz Yisroel for Pesach, as originally scheduled. Instead, due to a significant decline in his strength, the Rebbe will remain in Los Angeles for the duration of Yom Tov.
