Israeli Prime Minister Bibi Netanyahu has been confiding to those in his inner circle that he feels increasingly disillusioned with President Donald Trump’s approach to the Middle East, according to a report published by Yisroel Hayom.

President Donald Trump stated in a newly aired interview that the goal of his administration’s current negotiations with Iran is the “total dismantlement” of its nuclear infrastructure. However, he added that he would be open to permitting Iran to maintain a civilian nuclear energy program.
The interview, which took place on Friday and was broadcast Sunday on NBC’s Meet the Press, spanned numerous topics, including Trump’s early priorities during his second term in office.
NBC host Kristen Welker asked the president directly if he would only accept “total dismantlement of Iran’s nuclear program” as part of the negotiations.
“Total dismantlement. Yes, that is all I would accept,” Trump answered.

“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.

Rav Reuven Kamenetsky, a respected Rosh Kollel in Yerushalayim, has released a recorded message delivering a clear and urgent message regarding the opinion of his revered uncle, Rav Shmuel Kamenetsky.
In the message, Rav Reuven reveals that Rav Shmuel strongly endorses the Eretz HaKodesh slate in the World Zionist Organization (WZO) elections, warning that it would be a tremendous Chilul Hashem if the non-Orthodox movements gain strength at the expense of Torah-aligned parties. He stresses that Torah Jewry must make its voice heard by voting for Eretz HaKodesh.

IDF Chief of Staff Eyal Zamir paid a visit this morning to Shayetet 13, the elite Israeli naval commando unit, alongside Vice-Admiral David Saar Salama.
During the tour, Zamir received an operational update highlighting the unit’s performance and capabilities throughout the war. He also took time to engage with the commandos, commending them for their dedication and service across various combat zones.
Addressing the ongoing military campaign in Gaza, Zamir stated, “This week we are issuing tens of thousands of orders to our reservists in order to enhance and expand our operation in Gaza. We are increasing pressure in order to bring back the hostages and defeat Hamas. We will operate in additional areas and destroy all infrastructure above and below ground.”

The United States has given initial approval to sell $3.5 billion worth of air-to-air missiles for Saudi Arabia’s fighter jets, the latest proposed arms deal for the region ahead of President Donald Trump ‘s planned trip to the region later this month. The sale, announced early Saturday, likely will be one of several heralded by Trump on his visit to the kingdom. Saudi Arabia has already said it wants to invest $600 billion in the United States over the next four years, likely as a way to woo Trump to again pick the kingdom for his first formal trip as president. Trump traveled to Italy briefly for Pope Francis’ funeral. Trump’s 2017 trip to Saudi Arabia upended a tradition of modern U.S.
