Avigdor Lieberman, leader of the Yisrael Beytenu party, has sharply criticized the government’s decision to remove Shin Bet chief Ronen Bar, particularly during a time of conflict with all Israel’s adversaries. He claims that Prime Minister Netanyahu is making a grave mistake by engaging in a battle against Bar, a move that plays into the hands of Israel’s enemies.
“The prime minister of October 7 [Bibi Netanyahu] is doing exactly what our enemies dream of — fighting the Shin Bet head,” Lieberman asserts. He further argues that Netanyahu should have taken accountability for the failure of that day, resigning immediately and demanding that everyone responsible for the catastrophe do the same.

New York State Assemblyman Simcha Eichenstein penned a sharply worded letter to New York City Mayor Eric Adams and to NYC Department of Social Services Commissioner Molly Wasow Park, expressing his strong opposition to the decision to place a shelter for homeless families in Boro Park at a location that would adversely affect the surrounding area. While Assemblyman Eichenstein acknowledged the importance of addressing the needs of the homeless in New York City, he said he is disturbed to have learned about the plan to place a shelter in the area without having been consulted previously. “Why weren’t our community leaders or local elected officials informed and engaged in advance?” Assemblyman Eichenstein asked.

Freed hostage Eliya Cohen spoke at a Purim party at the home of Ba’al Chessed Shai Graucher and described how what he thought was the worst thing that ever happened to him was the catalyst for his release. Eliya explained how exactly three years ealier, at a Purim party, he experienced a seizure and was diagnosed with epilepsy. “I arrived at the hospital in bad condition. It started a a very difficult period in my life. Many bad things happened to me. I kept asking Hashem—why? My grandfather died a week later. I was in a car accident just days later. I said: ‘What is this?'” Eliya said that while in Gaza, he shared with his  fellow hostages the feeling of incomprehension he experienced at that time. “I thought it was the worst thing I had ever been through in my life,” he said.

Britain’s Heathrow Airport will be closed all Friday after an electrical substation fire knocked out its power, potentially affecting hundreds of thousands of passengers who use one of Europe’s biggest travel hubs. Thousands of homes also lost power and about 150 people had to be evacuated after a transformer within an electrical substation caught fire in west London. “To maintain the safety of our passengers and colleagues, we have no choice but to close Heathrow” for the full day Friday, the airport’s statement said. “We expect significant disruption over the coming days, and passengers should not travel to the airport under any circumstances until the airport reopens.” It said it will provide an update on its operations when it has more information on restoring power available.

The BBC recently explicitly asked to interview Israeli military personnel who are “critical of Netanyahu” and Israel’s recent ground offensive against the Hamas terror group in the Gaza Strip, according to Orly Goldschmidt, spokeswoman for the Israeli Embassy in the United Kingdom.
She posted a screenshot of the message, accompanied by a caption condemning it.
“Today, my team received this remarkable message from a BBC producer,” Goldschmidt wrote. “They don’t want to interview someone knowledgeable, nor someone relevant, just someone who fits the predetermined narrative. There is nothing balanced or impartial about this.”

Elon Musk, the billionaire and close ally of President Donald Trump, is scheduled to receive a briefing from the Pentagon today regarding the US military’s strategy in the event of a potential war with China, according to a report from the New York Times on Thursday, citing US officials.
Being granted access to the highly classified military plan would significantly increase Musk’s influence as a Trump adviser, particularly in light of his leadership in efforts to reduce US government expenditure.
This move would also raise further concerns regarding possible conflicts of interest for Musk, given his leadership roles at both Tesla and SpaceX, two companies with business dealings in China and with the Pentagon.
