Your silence is deafening,’ brother of Israeli hostage tells UN Security Council
“For 439 days, I’ve woken up every morning with a pit in my stomach, wondering where my brother is. Wondering if he’s cold. If he’s hungry.

Awarded 'Antisemite of the Year’ by StopAntisemitism
In a deeply troubling and controversial video, political commentator Candace Owens responded defiantly to being named "Antisemite of the Year" by StopAntisemitism, a U.S.-based organization dedicated to combating Jew-hatred. Owens dismissed the allegations, accusing pro-Israel organizations of manipulating the term "antisemitism" to stifle dissent and asserting that the charge no longer holds any "real meaning."
StopAntisemitism, in their announcement, pointed to Owens’ pattern of harmful rhetoric, including her defense of Adolf Hitler’s policies within Germany, her dismissive remarks about Kanye West’s antisemitic tirades, and claims accusing Israel of controlling Hollywood through "sinister Jewish gangs." The organization declared, “From mocking Jewish fears to promoting baseless conspiracy theories, Owens has earned this unfortunate title.”
In her response, Owens accused Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu of being the "most prominent...

Katz: Israel to maintain security control in Gaza after war
The defense minister clarified his position following a report that he had privately told a U.S. official Jerusalem was not interested in controlling Gaza after the war.
Israeli Defense Minister Israel Katz said on Tuesday that the Israel Defense Forces will continue to maintain security control in the Gaza Strip after the war with Hamas concludes.
“In response to various reports, my position regarding Gaza is clear. After we defeat Hamas’s military and governing power in Gaza, Israel will maintain security control in Gaza with full freedom of action, just as in Judea and Samaria,” tweeted Katz in Hebrew.
“We will not allow any terrorist group to organize against Israeli communities and citizens from Gaza. We will not allow a return to the reality that existed before Oct. 7,” he added.
The statement came after Israel’s Channel 12 News reported that Katz had told a senior American official in a...
Prophetic Signs in the Clouds: A Ribbon of Hope Over Israel
Throughout history, believers have looked to the heavens—clouds, stars, and skies—for signs and reminders of God’s presence, promises, and intervention. From the rainbow after the flood in Noah’s time to the star that guided the Magi to Jesus’ birthplace, the skies have often held messages of hope, direction, and reassurance. Could it be that God still uses the heavens to speak to us today? A recent image from Israel gives us pause to consider.
A Ribbon of Hope Appears in Israel

IDF strikes Hezbollah weapons transport in Southern Lebanon
A terrorist was loading a car in violation of the current ceasefire between Beirut and Jerusalem.
An Israel Defense Forces aircraft carried out a strike on a Hezbollah terrorist in Southern Lebanon on Tuesday after the army detected a man loading weapons into a car, which violates Jerusalem’s ceasefire deal with Beirut.
An aircraft attacked the vehicle “to remove the threat,” the IDF said in a statement, stressing that the Iranian-backed terror group’s presence in the area “violated the understandings between Israel and Lebanon.”
“The IDF continues to be committed to the understandings regarding the ceasefire in Lebanon, is deployed in Southern Lebanon, and will act to remove any threat to the State of Israel and its citizens,” it concluded.
Earlier on Tuesday, the Hezbollah-affiliated Lebanese daily Al Akhbar reported that a drone targeted a vehicle in the village of Majdal Zoun. According to...

Performed by Cantors Azi Schwartz and Mira Davis, the video has already been viewed over 100,000 times across social media platforms.
Why Wicked? Why Now?
The choice to set Adon Olam to Wicked’s “Popular” wasn’t simply about the music’s appeal; it was also about the story behind the show.
