At the Israeli Knesset, a solemn gathering titled “The Journey of His Life – From Buchenwald to Yerushalayim” brought together a powerful mix of lawmakers, soldiers, and civilians to hear Rav Yisrael Meir Lau share the gripping and miraculous story of his survival through the Holocaust.
“The defeat of the Nazis was possible only because the entire world stood united against them,” Rav Lau said. “Alongside our gratitude to the Creator, we must thank His emissaries — notably the Soviet Union, which sacrificed more than all, including around a quarter of a million Jews who fought in the Red Army. We owe thanks also to Britain, the United States, and all those who opposed Nazism.”

The United States will cut $50 million worth of aid a year to the southern African country of Zambia because of the “systematic” theft of medicines and medical supplies the money paid for, the U.S. ambassador said Thursday. The U.S. had discovered in 2021 that medicines and supplies that were meant to be provided free to Zambians had been taken and were being sold by pharmacies across the country, U.S. Ambassador to Zambia Michael Gonzales said at a press briefing. He said that an investigation of around 2,000 pharmacies in Zambia between 2021 and 2023 found that nearly half of them were selling medicines and products paid for by U.S. aid funds. The Zambian government had failed to do enough to address the corruption after the U.S.

He drew attention to the disparity in global reactions to different conflicts, saying, “We cannot have double standards. We stand for the right of the Ukrainian people to sovereignty. We must do the same when it comes to Gaza.”
