Israel alarmed: intel points to China aiding Iran’s missile rebuild; nuclear repairs on hold

Western intelligence indicates Iran is prioritizing a rapid restoration of its ground-to-ground missile force after the June war, with possible Chinese assistance—a prospect Israel calls “very troubling.” 

Jerusalem says it has delivered “clear messages” to Beijing; 

China has not confirmed any role. 

The analysis suggests Tehran is first replenishing air defenses and ballistic capabilities to secure a direct, sovereign deterrent—especially after Hezbollah’s limited posture—while nuclear-site repairs are, for now, secondary. 

Russian help is uncertain, and European services reportedly see deepening Iran–China coordination on missiles—potentially a strategic shift that could reset regional deterrence.

UJA’s $1 Million Betrayal: Feeding the Enemy While Starving the Truth

 

It is difficult to find the words to describe the breathtaking moral inversion on display at the UJA-Federation of New York. This week, under the leadership of CEO Eric Goldstein, UJA proudly announced it was allocating $1 million to Gaza for “relief efforts.” In their own press release, they boasted that this money — funneled through IsraAID — would provide food, medicine, and water filtration systems “for displaced families” in Gaza.

They described it as a reflection of “the very best of Israel — and of us.”

No. It is the very worst of us.

US backs E1 housing plan linking Jerusalem and Maale Adumim Ignoring the EU!

 

The US Department of State stated on Thursday that the construction of Jewish houses in the area known as E1 between Jerusalem and Maaleh Adumim supports Israel's security and is in line with the administration's goals.

Asked project, which was officially announced in a ceremony earlier in the day, the State Department stated: "A stable West Bank keeps Israel secure and is in line with the Trump administration’s goal to achieve peace in the region.”

I24News analyst Amichai Stein noted that the is a "180-degree reversal compared to previous U.S. administrations’ statements, which warned against construction, ruled that it undermines the two-state idea, and more."

The plan, which connects Maaleh Adumim to Jerusalem and disrupts Arab territorial contiguity between Ramallah and Bethlehem, is viewed as a decisive move that buries the idea of a Palestinian state. From the perspective of the Palestinian Authority and the international community, this strategic area is considered essential for the establishment of a Palestinian state with its capital in eastern Jerusalem.

As part of the plan, the Tzipor Midbar neighborhood in Maaleh Adumim will receive an additional 3,515 housing units, bringing the total to 6,916 new units. This development is expected to double the city’s population, with approximately 35,000 new residents anticipated in the coming years.

Speaking to Arutz Sheva-Israel National News following the ceremony, Finance Minister and Minister in the Defense Ministry Bezalel Smotrich stated: "After 20 years of promises and diplomatic delays, and as we see the hypocrisy of the European nations, we understand how crazy it was to capitulate to them all these years."

New poll shows Likud leading with 23 seats, while the opposition bloc, even with Bennett and Eisenkot, remains short of a majority without Arab party support.

 A poll conducted by Lazar Research and published Friday in Ma'ariv shows that the Likud party continues to lead, while the opposition bloc struggles to secure the 61 Knesset seats required to form a coalition without relying on the Arab parties.

According to the survey, the current coalition bloc would win 50 seats—an increase of one seat compared to the previous poll. The opposition bloc, including newly proposed parties led by former Prime Minister Naftali Bennett and former IDF Chief of Staff Gadi Eisenkot, would receive 60 seats. The Arab parties are projected to gain 10 seats.

In a scenario where both Bennett and Eisenkot lead independent parties, Likud remains the largest with 23 seats.

Bennett's party would earn 21 seats, the Democrats, led by Yair Golan, would also receive 21, Eisenkot's list would secure nine, as would Shas and Yisrael Beytenu.

United Torah Judaism is projected to receive seven seats, Otzma Yehudit seven, Yesh Atid six, the United Arab List (Ra'am) five, Hadash-Ta'al five, Blue and White five, and the Religious Zionist Party four.

Many Chassidim Refuse Vaccinations for their Children ..Now Greatgrandson Of Jerusalem’s Satmar Dayan Dies Of Measles..Second Death in Family

 

The Israeli Ministry of Health has announced that a two-year-old boy, who had been hospitalized for several weeks and connected to an ECMO machine after contracting measles, has passed away today at Hadassah Ein Kerem Hospital.

The child, Binyamin Zurger z”l, was the great-grandson of Rabbi Moshe Ze’ev Zurger, a prominent dayan of the Satmar Hasidic community in Jerusalem and author of the “Vayashev Moshe” series. He was also the grandson of Rabbi Tzvi Aryeh Zurger, a rabbi in the Satmar community, and son of Rabbi Mordechai Yoel Zurger, son-in-law of Rabbi Yehoshua Asher Kahana, a rabbinical judge in the Badatz and rabbi of the Mishkenot HaRo’im community. The child was named Binyamin after the late Rebbe of Mishkenot HaRo’im.

This is the second tragedy for the family, as about a year ago they lost another child due to a fatal bacterial infection.

Just a week ago, the family added the name Alter to the child, a traditional act as a merit for healing, and the mezuzahs in their home were found to be invalid and replaced. Tragically, the toddler passed away early this morning.

A small funeral took place in the afternoon, from the Shamgar funeral home to the Mount of Olives in Jerusalem, where he was laid to rest.

Since the beginning of the measles outbreak in Israel three months ago, 503 cases have been confirmed, with 187 currently active. The majority of recent cases have come from the Jerusalem and Beit Shemesh areas, and most of the hospitalized patients are unvaccinated children.

As of now, 12 children are hospitalized, all under the age of six. Three are in intensive care, one of whom is on ECMO. All hospitalized children are unvaccinated, with two cases still under investigation. 81% of all patients are children, most of whom were not vaccinated.

The Ministry of Health urges parents to ensure their children receive routine vaccinations, especially against measles. Vaccination status can be checked via the digital vaccination record on the Israeli government personal portal.

Hadassah Ein Kerem Hospital issued the following statement:

“The child, who was transferred to Hadassah’s Pediatric Intensive Care Unit several weeks ago in critical condition from Shaare Zedek while connected to an ECMO machine, was not vaccinated and had contracted measles. This led to a secondary streptococcal infection, causing severe pneumonia. He was treated for several weeks in the PICU, with doctors fighting for his life. Unfortunately, this morning his condition deteriorated, and the medical team had to declare his death due to multi-organ failure.”

Another child, a one-year-old girl, remains in critical condition in the same intensive care unit, still connected to an ECMO machine and being closely monitored.

Ben-Gvir Visits Barghouti in Jail talls him to his face : ‘Those Who Harm Our Children Will Face Full Consequences’

 

Israel’s National Security Minister, Itamar Ben-Gvir, visited Gannot Prison to inspect the conditions of security prisoners alongside Israel Prison Service Commissioner Kobi Yaakobi. While touring an isolation wing, Ben-Gvir encountered Marwan Barghouti — one of the most prominent Palestinian figures imprisoned in Israel.

Barghouti, a senior leader in Fatah’s Tanzim militia during the Second Intifada, is serving five consecutive life sentences plus 40 years for orchestrating multiple deadly attacks that claimed the lives of Israeli civilians. Considered by many Palestinians a political leader and by Israelis a mastermind of terror, Barghouti has remained an influential figure even behind bars.

Speaking directly to him, Ben-Gvir warned that anyone who murders Israeli civilians—especially children and women—will face overwhelming consequences, declaring that such acts will never break Israel’s resolve.

The tense exchange underscores Israel’s uncompromising stance toward terrorism and its ongoing focus on high-profile security prisoners.

He Who Laughs Last, Laughs Best

 

Anas al-Sharif, a Hamas operative and Al Jazeera journalist, was recently eliminated in an IDF strike. Just a few months ago, he publicly mocked a video by IDF Arabic Spokesman Avichay Adraee, who had urged him to report on the suffering in Gaza under Hamas rule — something he had deliberately avoided.

In the clip, Anas smiles and asks, “What does he want from me?” His friend quips that Avichay is “just giving him free publicity.” Anas adds, “Let him threaten, let him attack… we’ll continue, we’re not afraid.”

Reality, it turns out, was different:

1. Anas will not continue.

2. Avichay threatened — and eventually delivered.

3. Last April, Anas wrote a will. Perhaps something did set off a warning light after all.
