Prime Minister Binyamin Netanyahu and his wife landed in Washington D.C. on Sunday evening and were greeted by Israeli Ambassador to the US Yechiel Leiter. Shortly later, Netanyahu and his entourage rushed to the Blair House for a meeting with US Commerce Secretary Howard Lutnick and US Trade Representative Jamieson Greer. The meeting, which focused on the 17% tariff imposed by the Trump administration on Israel, was described by the Prime Minister’s Office as “warm, friendly, and productive.” Netanyahu is scheduled to meet with President Donald Trump on Monday at 1 p.m., and the two will hold a joint press conference following the meeting. There has been speculation in the Israeli press about the main issues the two leaders will discuss.

Hamas fired ten rockets at southern Israel on Sunday at about 9:00 p.m., triggering sirens in Ashkelon, Ashdod, Yavne and nearby communities, the largest rocket barrage in months. One rocket fell in a parking lot in Ashkelon, lightly injuring one person, damaging several vehicles, and sparking fires. About 27 people suffering from shock or injuries incurred while running for shelter were treated at the scene and evacuated to the hospital. Shrapnel was also found in the Nir Galim community near Ashdod. The IDF spokesperson later said that five rockets were intercepted by air defenses. Following the rocket fire, IDF Spokesperson in Arabic Avichay Adraee issued an evacuation warning message to residents of Deir al-Balah. “This is an early and final warning before the attack!” he wrote.

Menachem Chaifetz was a bochur in Yeshivas Chaim Berlin in the 1990s. When he became engaged to the daughter of Rav Avrohom Turin zt”l, the esteemed Mashgiach of Scranton Yeshiva, it was a joyous occasion for both families.
Menachem eagerly anticipated his first Pesach in his father-in-law’s home. The thought of spending Yom Tov in such a distinguished Torah environment filled him with excitement. The home of Rav Turin was known for its warmth, depth of Torah, and unwavering commitment to mesorah.
Erev Pesach arrived, and as the house bustled with final preparations, Rav Turin called Menachem aside.

Billionaire hedge fund titan Bill Ackman unleashed a scathing rebuke of President Trump’s sweeping new tariffs, warning that the White House is marching the U.S. economy straight into what he chillingly calls an “economic nuclear winter.” Ackman, once a vocal supporter of Trump’s economic agenda and a high-profile endorser during the 2024 campaign, sounded the alarm in a blistering statement posted on X, declaring that the president’s aggressive trade war strategy could cause markets to collapse, investment to vanish, and Trump’s own base to suffer the worst consequences. “Business is a confidence game,” Ackman wrote.

President Donald Trump is once again pushing forward with plans for a military parade, this time setting his sights on Saturday, June 14—a date that marks both his 79th birthday and the 250th anniversary of the U.S. Army. Trump is reportedly seeking to stage a nearly four-mile parade route from the Pentagon to the White House, reviving a vision he first championed during his first term in 2018 but later canceled under public and military pressure. Trump’s 2018 effort to showcase tanks, aircraft, and troops on Pennsylvania Avenue fizzled after the Pentagon estimated a staggering $92 million cost, and D.C. officials objected to the impact on roads and the additional $21 million in public safety expenses.

Dear Mommy and Totty, I hope this letter finds you both well, but I have to admit, I’m not doing so great, but you knew that already. There are things I need to tell you, things I’ve been keeping locked away inside for too long and I’m not sure if it is safe for me to express myself. I’ve been feeling so confused lately, like I’m stuck in a maze with no way out. You know how you’ve always talked about those people who claim to be victims, saying they’re just seeking attention? I’ve heard you, and I’ve nodded along, perhaps I even believed your line of thinking. But that was before “it” happened. And “it” was something that I’m not proud of. “It” is something that is still confusing to me. “It” is being abused myself.

Rejecting Washington’s demands for direct talks on its nuclear program, Tehran is instead pushing for indirect negotiations via Oman — a long-standing backchannel between the two adversaries. The unnamed official, speaking to Reuters, said that while Iran will not engage in direct diplomacy under threats of war, it remains open to mediated discussions that could “test the seriousness” of the U.S. position. “Indirect talks offer a chance to evaluate Washington’s seriousness about a political solution,” the official said, adding that such discussions could begin soon — if the U.S. signals genuine interest.

Billionaire investor Bill Ackman, who backed President Trump last year, has issued a blunt critique of the administration’s aggressive new tariff agenda, cautioning that the plan could push the economy into a downward spiral — with Trump’s own voter base suffering the most.
“Business is a confidence game. The president is losing the confidence of business leaders around the globe. The consequences for our country and the millions of our citizens who have supported the president — in particular low-income consumers who are already under a huge amount of economic stress — are going to be severely negative,” he wrote.

President Trump on Sunday pushed back against criticism of his broad new tariffs as stock markets continued to slide, insisting that he wasn’t hoping to see economic losses.
“When you look at the trade deficit we have with certain countries, with China it’s a trillion dollars,” Trump told reporters aboard Air Force One as he flew back to Washington, D.C., from Florida on Sunday evening.
He stressed that the ongoing trade imbalance with Beijing must be addressed. “And we have to solve our trade deficit with China. … Hundreds of billions of dollars a year we lose with China. And unless we solve that problem, I’m not going to make a deal,” Trump continued.
Describing the situation as untenable, he said plainly, “This is not sustainable.”
