The London-based newspaper Al-Araby Al-Jadeed reported that Israeli officials are allegedly using the ongoing talks as a pretext to push forward a plan that would force Palestinians out of Gaza. “There are attempts to embarrass Cairo through an Israeli plan aimed at advancing the forced displacement agenda,” one of the sources was quoted as saying.

(By Alexandra Segal) There’s something about watching history in the making. Seeing a moment in time, knowing you were there as it occurred, and that it would be remembered as monumental for all time. I think it’s safe to say that I, along with close to 6,500 other women felt like we were part of a historic moment, between this Sunday and Monday nights. In an opulent theater built for royals — the Kings Theatre — in the heart of Brooklyn, girls and women of all ages and backgrounds flooded from near and far (many flying in from Chicago, Switzerland, Toronto, Florida, Texas and other places) to hear the soulful sounds of one Shaindy Plotzker, a 28-year-old powerhouse who commands the stage and captivates every audience, event single time.

On Thursday morning, Hamas declared that Abdul Latif Al-Qanou, their spokesperson, had been killed in an Israeli airstrike in the Jabalia region of northern Gaza. Israel has not issued a statement regarding the claim.
This follows a Sunday operation carried out by the IDF and Shin Bet in the Khan Yunis area, where Ismail Barhoum, a senior figure in Hamas’ financial and institutional operations, was killed. Barhoum played a significant role in Hamas’ political bureau and was closely involved in military strategy, directly influencing the group’s operations.
In his role, Barhoum managed Hamas’ financial activities within Gaza, overseeing the allocation of resources to the group’s military wing, as well as financing and organizing terrorist attacks against Israel.

During an announcement in the Oval Office, Trump declared, “this is gonna lead to the construction of a lot of plants” dedicated to building cars in the United States.
He elaborated, stating, “We’ll effectively be charging a 25% tariff, but if you build your car in the United States, there is no tariff.”
Will Scharf, the White House staff secretary, informed Trump that the initiative was expected to generate $100 billion in annual revenue. However, experts have warned that the move could significantly decrease the volume of imports.

The Israeli Ministry of Health is requesting permission from recently freed hostages to obtain their medical information, aiming to create a detailed report for the United Nations about the health impacts of their time in captivity under Hamas.
In letters sent on Wednesday, the ministry asked the hostages who returned to grant access to their hospital records, which would document their condition upon being released. The ministry explained that the report would focus on the physical and psychological harm inflicted by abduction and extended confinement. It is intended to aid international efforts to help secure the release of those still being held in Gaza.

A Heartbreaking Reality Can you imagine? A baby who already has a family waiting for her, parents longing to bring her home, yet she remains in a hospital simply because of money. Right now, little Rivkah is lying in a hospital bed, waiting for the moment she can finally be held by the parents who have already chosen her. Sarah and Yossi are ready to welcome her into their home with open hearts, embracing her Down Syndrome and everything that makes her the precious Neshama she is. But there is one thing standing in their way: the staggering cost of adoption! And Rivkah isn’t the only one. Right now, six other Jewish babies are waiting—each with a loving family ready to care for them, daven for them, and raise them in a Torah-filled home.
