Palestinian Authority President Mahmoud Abbas accused Hamas-affiliated gangs of looting humanitarian aid in Gaza, calling the theft a national disgrace during a time of immense suffering. “The looting and theft carried out by criminal gangs targeting warehouses and storage facilities of humanitarian aid is unacceptable,” Abbas said in remarks published Friday by the P.A.’s official Wafa news agency. Abbas pointed the finger squarely at “Hamas-affiliated gangs,” accusing them of being “primarily responsible” for pillaging the aid meant for Gaza’s war-ravaged civilians.

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.”

Despite military regulations restricting non-essential communications on Shabbos, the IDF Spokesperson’s Unit has continued to release press statements on Shabbosos, even when the information does not pertain to urgent matters or immediate threats to human life.
One such example occurred this past Shabbos, when the IDF issued a routine update summarizing operations carried out in Judea and Samaria during the month of April.

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.

United Airlines announced on Friday that it will be scaling back its operations at Newark Liberty International Airport, eliminating 35 daily round-trip flights from its schedule. The airline cited continued disruptions caused by airport construction, a lack of FAA personnel, and technical failures as the main factors behind the decision, which has already impacted thousands of passengers with extensive delays.
This latest adjustment will reduce United’s daily flights at Newark by 10%, a significant cut to the airline’s overall operations at the busy New Jersey hub.

After years of defending Sen. John Fetterman through health scares, debate debacles, and questions about his fitness for office, the same media that once shielded him is now turning on him — and the timing is no mystery. In a bombshell New York Magazine exposé, current and former staffers paint a picture of a “bizarre” and “erratic” senator battling serious mental health challenges, facing tensions at home, and alienating his staff. But the real shock? Much of the criticism began only after Fetterman broke ranks with the progressive wing of his party and became an unapologetic defender of Israel.

Houthi Media is reporting that the Houthis have evacuated staff from Sana’a Airport, anticipating air strikes from Israel following the missile attack near Ben Gurion.

An air traffic controller has issued a stark warning about Newark Liberty International Airport, calling it unsafe for travelers, according to a new report.
“It is not safe. It is not a safe situation right now for the flying public,” the controller allegedly told NBC News correspondent Tom Costello.
Costello, recounting the interaction on MSNBC, said, “Really an incredible statement, unsolicited. He just said that to me, and separately, ‘Don’t fly into Newark. Avoid Newark at all costs.’”
Newark Liberty, which handled 24.3 million passengers last year and ranks as the second busiest airport in the New York metropolitan area, has been mired in extensive delays and cancellations over the past several days.

When Warren Buffett announced at his annual shareholder meeting Saturday that he is stepping down as CEO of Berkshire Hathaway at the end of the year, he elevated a low-key 62-year-old Canadian executive named Greg Abel who has long been one of his top lieutenants. For the past seven years, Abel has been overseeing Berkshire’s BNSF railroad and its treat makers See’s Candies and Dairy Queen along with dozens of other manufacturing and retail businesses that Buffett acquired over the years. He grew up in Canada as a hockey player and learned the value of hard work as he redeemed discarded bottles and worked for a small company filling fire extinguishers. Now he finds himself at the top of the food chain in the investment world.

A lawsuit filed in Manhattan Supreme Court alleges that United Airlines diverted a transatlantic flight mid-air not because of a safety issue — but because the plane was filled with visibly Jewish passengers. The April 22, 2023, flight from Newark to Tel Aviv was abruptly turned back to New Jersey “after hours of flight for no valid reason,” according to the suit, which names nearly 60 Jewish passengers as plaintiffs. The passengers, many of whom were traveling to Israel for Yom Hazikaron and Yom Ha’atzmaut, claim that anti-Jewish bias played a key role in the crew’s decision. According to the complaint, the incident began when one Jewish passenger briefly sat in a flight attendant’s jump seat while waiting to use the restroom.

President Donald Trump announced he would push back the June 19 deadline for ByteDance, the Chinese company behind TikTok, to sell off its U.S. operations, if an agreement isn’t finalized in time.
“I would … I’d like to see it done,” Trump said during an interview for NBC’s “Meet the Press with Kristen Welker,” which was recorded Friday at Mar-a-Lago and aired nationally on Sunday. He noted his fondness for the platform, crediting it with helping him connect to younger voters during the 2024 campaign. “TikTok is – it’s very interesting, but it will be protected,” he said.
Trump has already postponed enforcement of a congressional mandate banning TikTok in the U.S. on two separate occasions. The original enforcement date was set for January.

In recent weeks, including Sunday morning’s attack on Ben-Gurion, the Houthis from Yemen have increased their launch of ballistic missiles toward Israel at the same time as the US has been carrying out waves of airstrikes against Houthi targets in Yemen. Ynet quoted Israeli officials as saying: “The Americans are the ones who are acting. The fact that the Houthis are still launching missiles doesn’t mean much— the American operation is very effective.” Ynet military commentator Ron Ben Yishai noted that Israeli security officials estimate that the recent increase in the number of Houthi launches stems from the fact that the US has improved the quality of its intelligence in Yemen and the accuracy and efficiency of its attacks, targeting Houthi launch sites and missile and UAV depots.

Dear Friends and Supporters,
In recent days, many people have reached out to us asking whether there is real data proving a dramatic rise in voting numbers, or if this is just typical campaign rhetoric. We would like to present you with the actual numbers so you can understand the alarming increase, which may even result in a doubling of the number of votes required to maintain Eretz HaKodesh’s power in the Zionist Congress.

The prime minister of Yemen’s internationally recognized government said Saturday he was resigning due to political struggles, underscoring the fragility of an alliance fighting Houthi rebels in the Arab world’s most impoverished country. Prime Minister Ahmed Awad Bin Mubarak announced the decision in a post on social media, attaching a resignation letter directed to Rashad al-Alimi, head of the ruling presidential council. The internationally recognized government is based in the southern city of Aden.

Prime Minister Netanyahu, in a meeting with Cypriot President Nikos Christodoulides, reiterated his strong criticism of Qatar, calling on Israel’s allies to exert pressure: “We urge others to push not only Hamas but also Qatar, which has significant influence over Hamas, to act and secure the hostages’ release.”
