Ir Olam: The ultimate living concept, unlike anything the city has ever seen 
For those who dream of living in Jerusalem—not just visiting, not just passing through, but really living—there’s a new reason to fall in love with the city all over again.
Adjacent to Givat Shaul, Kiryat Moshe and Beit Hakerem, and just minutes away from Har Nof, a remarkable development is taking shape—quietly transformative, yet undeniably bold. Welcome to Ir Olam, a masterfully planned quarter that brings together everything you need: a home, a workplace, a place to gather and to live fully – all in one harmonious setting.
Rooted in Excellence

During a phone call with Russian President Vladimir Putin on Tuesday, Israeli Prime Minister Bibi Netanyahu discussed developments in the Middle East, the Prime Minister’s Office in Yerushalayim said.
According to the Hebrew-language PMO statement, the two leaders also “exchanged warm greetings on the occasion of the 80th anniversary of the victory over Nazi Germany in World War II,” which Moscow is set to celebrate on Friday with the annual Victory Day parade in the capital.
Netanyahu was said to have “emphasized the decisive contribution of the Red Army to the victory over the Nazis, highlighting the significant role played by the many Jewish commanders and soldiers in the war.”

Police arrested about 30 pro-Hamas rioters who illegally occupied a University of Washington engineering building and damaged property and set fires. Students from the group Super UW, which lauded the October 7 massacre, seized the Interdisciplinary Engineering Building in Seattle on Monday evening. “We are taking this building amidst the current and renewed wave of the student Intifada, following the uprising of student action for Palestine after the heroic victory of Al-Aqsa Flood on October 7th, which shattered the illusion of zionist-imperialist domination and brought Palestine to the forefront for all justice-loving people of the world,” Super UW wrote in a manifesto published earlier in the day.

President Donald Trump is expected to declare during his upcoming visit to Saudi Arabia that the United States will begin using alternative names for the Persian Gulf — either “Arabian Gulf” or “Gulf of Arabia” — according to two American officials who spoke with The Associated Press.
This decision aligns with long-standing efforts by Arab nations to have the name of the waterway, which borders southern Iran, reflect their regional identity. Iran, on the other hand, continues to insist on the traditional name that highlights its historical significance.

Columbia University revealed on Tuesday that nearly 180 employees will lose their jobs, following the Trump administration’s move to freeze $400 million in federal funding, according to The Associated Press.
The decision to suspend the funding came in March, after the federal government raised concerns over how Columbia responded to campus protests targeting Israel.
In a statement released to the public, the university explained that the affected jobs amount to about 20% of positions previously funded through the halted federal grants.

Iran was behind US President Donald Trump’s surprise announcement on Tuesday that the US military is halting its military operations against the Iranian-backed Houthis in Yemen after the terror group indicated it will end its attacks against US ships. According to two Iranian officials quoted by The New York Times, Iran pressured the Houthis to halt their attacks as part of the Islamic Republic’s current efforts to reach a nuclear deal with the US. Following Trump’s announcement, Oman, which is mediating the US-Iranian talks, said that it mediated the ceasefire deal between the Houthis and the US. The Houthis’ attacks on Israel were not addressed in the deal, and the terror group said that it will continue its attacks on “Israeli” ships.
