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.

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.

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.”

The latest slimming craze, the weight loss drug Ozempic, is now coming with a surprising and unwanted cosmetic issue nicknamed “Ozempic mouth,” according to a new report.
Those taking higher doses of the popular GLP-1 medication are noticing significant changes in their appearance, particularly in the face, due to rapid fat loss, a cosmetic dermatologist based in New York revealed to DailyMail.com.
“Many users of Ozempic who I know report noticeable volume loss in the face, which can result in the formation of fine lines, wrinkles, sagging skin, and jowls around the mouth,” Dr. Michele Green explained.
“This volume loss can also worsen the appearance of existing fine lines, wrinkles, and skin laxity contributing to a more aged smile and overall look.”

Following a Houthi missile strike at Ben Gurion Airport, Prime Minister Netanyahu endorsed President Trump’s position on X, and said “Israel will respond to the Houthi attack against our main airport AND, at a time and place of our choosing, to their Iranian terror masters.”

Hamas has carried out executions of people it accuses of stealing amid escalating chaos and the erosion of public order in Gaza, according to insiders.
This week saw a sharp uptick in violence, with reports of armed groups storming warehouses and kitchens distributing food. The surge in looting has underscored the weakening of governance in Gaza. Hamas has claimed—without presenting evidence—that some of those involved were cooperating with Israel. Israeli officials have not commented on these accusations.

A baby girl was born on Friday—just before Shabbos—to the almanah of R’ Raphael Mordechai ben R’ Moshe Fishoff Hy”d, who was brutally murdered in a terror attack in Hadera this past Erev Yom Kippur. The newborn is the seventh child in the Fishoff family and will, heartbreakingly, never meet her father—an exceptional talmid chacham who gave his life al kiddush Hashem. R’ Raphael Mordechai, just 35 years old at the time of his murder, was stabbed in a horrific multi-location terror attack on October 10, 2024. He was critically wounded and later succumbed to his injuries at Hillel Yaffe Medical Center, leaving behind a grieving wife and six yesomim. Now, just months later, his widow gave birth to a baby girl.

Israeli Prime Minister Bibi Netanyahu vowed that “there will be blows” in response to the Iranian-sponsored Houthi missile assault targeting Ben-Gurion International Airport near Tel Aviv on Sunday.
“We are acting against them,” Netanyahu said of previous IDF military operations against the Houthis in Yemen. “We have acted in the past and we will act in the future. I cannot detail everything.
“The U.S., in coordination with us, is also acting against them. It’s not a one-and-done—but there will be blows,” vowed the Israeli premier.
In a subsequent post on his official X account, Netanyahu said Israel “will respond to the Houthi attack against our main airport AND, at a time and place of our choosing, to their Iranian terror masters.”
