France and Germany Two Countries that were destroyed in WW2 condemn Israeli airstrike in Doha

 

France and Germany on Tuesday condemned Israel’s airstrike in Doha, Qatar, despite the fact that it targeted top leaders of the murderous terrorist organization Hamas.

French President Emmanuel Macron wrote in a post on X, “Today's Israeli strikes on Qatar are unacceptable, whatever the reason. I express my solidarity with Qatar and its Emir, Sheikh Tamim Al Thani. Under no circumstances should the war spread throughout the region.”

Macron’s condemnation was posted in French, English, Arabic and Hebrew.

In Germany, Chancellor Friedrich Merz and Foreign Minister Johann Wadephul said the Israeli attack is "unacceptable".

"Israel's strike in Doha not only violates Qatar's territorial sovereignty, but also jeopardizes all our efforts to secure the hostages' release," Wadephul said, noting that Qatar plays a crucial role in efforts to achieve a ceasefire and release the hostages.

A government spokesperson quoted by Reuters said that Merz spoke by phone with Qatar's Emir Sheikh Tamim bin Hamad Al-Thani, and told him that the violation of Qatar's sovereignty and territorial integrity by the Israeli attack is not acceptable.

Merz also reportedly told Al-Thani, "The war must not spread to the entire region."

White House spokeswoman Karoline Leavitt said in her daily press briefing that the US had informed Qatar before the Israeli attack. However, Qatar’s Prime Minister and Foreign Minister Mohammed Al Thani later claimed that the United States had informed Qatar of the strike ten minutes after it occurred.

Police Officer Who Investigated Netanyahu Arrested on suspicion of passing sensitive information to one of Israel’s largest and most-feared “Mafia” organizations.

Shock reverberated through Israel’s police force on Tuesday morning when the Police Internal Investigations Department of the State Attorney’s Office arrested five suspects, including senior police officials and a civilian—on suspicion of passing sensitive information to the Musli crime family, one of Israel’s largest and most-feared “Mafia” organizations.

Among the suspects are two active police officers, one of them a senior officer, and two former police officers—including an investigator who was part of the prosecution team in Prime Minister Binyamin Netanyahu’s “1000–4000 cases” and other prominent cases, including those of Avigdor Lieberman, whose case was “mysteriously closed,” and Ehud Olmert.

In addition, the head of the crime organization, Eli Musli, and two of the organization’s financial operatives were also arrested.

According to a report on i24NEWS, all of the detained officers had worked in the Investigations Division: the officer who investigated Netanyahu, another officer with the rank of chief superintendent, a recently retired chief superintendent, and a police officer. The recently retired officer is suspected of committing the offenses while still serving in Lahav 433, the police’s elite anti-corruption and organized crime unit.

The officers are suspected of crimes including bribery, fraud, breach of trust, and violations of the Privacy Protection Law. In return, they allegedly received perks such as trips abroad and hotel accommodations.

According to police, the affair involves, among other crimes, illegal gambling and the provision of credit lines to gamblers.

The head of Lahav 433, Commander Meni Benjamin, stated, “We constantly act and gather evidence against organizations that the police define as crime organizations. We will act against anyone who is involved in serious, organized criminal activity—even if they are active or former police officers who acted illegally and against the law. We will work to bring them to justice. Thanks to the work of Lahav 433, the key suspects who form part of an illegal financial pipeline have been exposed, including police officers who left the organization but still maintained contact with criminal elements. The nature of their ties to these criminal figures will be examined, and we will work together with the Internal Investigations Department in every way required to uncover the full truth.”

 

Israeli Researcher Elizabeth Tsurkov Free After Being Kidnapped By Iran-Backed Militia In Iraq In 2023

Israeli researcher Elizabeth Tsurkov, kidnapped in Baghdad last year by the Shiite militia Kataib Hezbollah, has been freed and is now at the U.S. Embassy in Iraq, President Donald Trump announced Tuesday on Truth Social.

“I am pleased to report that Elizabeth Tsurkov, a Princeton student, whose sister is an American citizen, was just released … and is now safely in the American Embassy in Iraq after being tortured for many months,” Trump wrote. He used the announcement to renew pressure on Hamas, demanding: “HAMAS, RELEASE THE HOSTAGES, NOW!”

Iraqi Prime Minister Mohammed Shia’ al-Sudani confirmed the release, crediting Iraqi security services and stressing that Baghdad “will not allow anyone to harm the reputation of Iraq and the Iraqis.”

Tsurkov, 38, holds both Israeli and Russian citizenship and was in Iraq for her doctoral research at Princeton when she was abducted in March 2023. Nearly a year later, a video surfaced of her speaking in Hebrew under duress, reciting confessions to working for the CIA and Mossad. A vocal critic of Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu, she had previously warned against trading concessions for her release.

Her family said Tuesday they were “overjoyed.” In a statement, her sister Emma thanked Trump, U.S. hostage envoy Adam Boehler, and embassy staff in Baghdad: “If Adam hadn’t made my sister’s return a personal mission, I don’t know where we would be today.”

Tsurkov, the daughter of Soviet Jewish dissidents who immigrated to Israel in the 1980s, has spent much of her academic career researching conflict in the Middle East. She previously conducted fieldwork in Syria, Jordan, and Turkey, and was pursuing a Princeton Ph.D. when she traveled to Iraq.

 

Call for Firing of Judge Who Released Train Stabber

North Carolina Republicans are calling for the ouster of Magistrate Judge Teresa Stokes, accusing her of endangering the public by releasing a repeat offender who is now charged with murdering a young Ukrainian refugee on Charlotte’s light rail system.

In a joint letter, all ten Republican members of the state’s congressional delegation urged the North Carolina Judicial Branch to fire Stokes, saying her decision to release DeCarlos Brown Jr. on a written promise to appear in court amounted to a “willful failure” of judicial duty.

Brown, 34, was arrested in January for misusing the 911 system. Despite a record of 14 prior arrests, including convictions for armed robbery, felony larceny, and threatening behavior, Stokes authorized his release without bond. Months later, police say Brown fatally stabbed 23-year-old Iryna Zarutska, a refugee from Ukraine, as she rode the Lynx Blue Line near Charlotte’s South End.

“This tragedy was preventable,” the lawmakers wrote. “By freeing a violent repeat offender, Magistrate Stokes undermined public trust in the courts and exposed our community to needless danger.”

National figures quickly weighed in. U.S. Transportation Secretary Sean Duffy said Charlotte had “failed” Zarutska by not keeping Brown behind bars. Florida Rep. Randy Fine announced plans to introduce legislation holding judges accountable when offenders they release commit violent crimes. Billionaire Elon Musk went further, calling on the public to “name and shame” judges and prosecutors who, in his view, enable repeat offenders.

Brown is currently being held without bond at the Mecklenburg County Jail. A judge has ordered a competency evaluation, and his next court hearing is set for September 19.

Elimination of the entire Hamas Leadership in Qatar Confirmed

 

Top Hamas Leadership in Qatar eliminated!

1) Khaled Mashal

2) Khalil al-Hayya

3) Zaher Jabarin

4) Mous Abu Marzook

5) Husam Badran

6) Mohammad Ismail Darwish

Five senior Hamas officials, including the terrorist organization's leader, Khaled Mashal, were at a meeting together in the Qatari capital of Doha when the IDF launched an airstrike targeting the meeting this afternoon (Tuesday), the Saudi Al Hadath network reported. Mashal and at least four other senior officials were reportedly killed in the airstrike.

The airstrike in Doha are the first of their kind by Israel, which had refrained from going after the Hamas leaders who lived in luxury in Qatar in the 23 months since the October 7 massacre.

In addition to Mashal, Hamas leaders Khalil al-Hayya and Zaher Jabarin are also reported to have attended the meeting. Arabic media is reporting that all four, as well as Hamas official Nizar Awadallah, were eliminated.

However, Al Jazeera, citing a Hamas official, reported that the Hamas leaders survived the airstrike. Hamas has not issued an official statement on the fate of its leaders. Qatar has not commented on whether the targets survived the airstrike either.

The IDF announced that the name of the operation is 'Summit of Fire.'

US President Donald Trump reportedly approved the strike in Doha, and the attack was coordinated with the US.

Breaking :Israel strikes Qatar in attempt to assassinate Hamas officials

 

The IDF and the Shin Bet on Tuesday confirmed an attack on the Hamas leadership in Doha, Qatar.

A statement said that the leaders targeted were responsible for the October 7, 2023, massacre of around 1,200 Israelis in the country's South, as well as managing the terror group's operations for years before that.

Khalil al-Hayya, the leader of Hamas, was one of the targets of the operations, an Israeli official confirmed to The Jerusalem Post. His death has not been confirmed.

Israeli officials told The Post that the US knew about the attack beforehand and gave it the green light. The US Embassy in Doha has issued a shelter-in-place order for all US citizens. 

Qatar's official response!

"Hamas received the new proposal from the Qataris, which we [Israel] obtained from Witkoff last week in Paris. The prime minister met with the Hamas leadership yesterday, and they decided to meet again today to discuss the proposal, arriving from Turkey," a diplomatic source told the Post.

"As it happened before, the Israelis undermined hopes for peace, further prolonging the war and complicating efforts to bring back the hostages," Qatar responded.

"The State of Qatar strongly condemns the cowardly Israeli attack that targeted residential buildings housing several members of the Political Bureau of Hamas in the Qatari capital, Doha," said Majed al-Ansari, spokesperson of the Qatari Foreign Ministry.

"This criminal assault constitutes a blatant violation of all international laws and norms, and poses a serious threat to the security and safety of Qataris and residents in Qatar," he added.

"While the State of Qatar strongly condemns this assault, it confirms that it will not tolerate this reckless Israeli behavior and the ongoing disruption of regional security, nor any act that targets its security and sovereignty."

IDF and Shin Bet confirm the strikes

According to the military and the Shin Bet, special measures were taken to avoid harming anyone other than the top Hamas leaders, based on precise intelligence and munitions.

According to an official statement, the IAF and the Shin Bet (Israel Security Agency) conducted a precise strike targeting the senior leadership of the Hamas terrorist organization. 

"For years, these members of the Hamas leadership have led the terrorist organization's operations, are directly responsible for the brutal October 7th massacre, and have been orchestrating and managing the war against the State of Israel," the statement read.

No mention has been made yet of Khaled Mashaal, who was formerly the leader of Hamas years ago and remains a symbol of the group.

Until now, some of these officials have been viewed as too important and involved in negotiations to be targeted for assassination.

However, in July 2024, the Mossad assassinated Islmail haniyeh in Tehran at a time when he was heavily involved in negotiations.

In that case, the Biden administration accused Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu of targeting Haniyeh partially to avoid a hostage deal, which he did not yet want at the time.

Netanyahu was defended by top Israeli defense officials who said that Haniyeh had been an obstacle to a deal and that, in any case, his responsibility for October 7 was too large to leave him alive.

It was unclear what position the Trump administration would take on the attack at a time when it is trying to press Israel and Hamas to reach a deal, and it was unclear who would remain Hamas's top negotiator.

The attack was also unusual because it was carried out openly by the air force and the Shin Bet as opposed to the Mossad, which is normally responsible for out-of-Israel assassinations, such as with Haniyeh.

However, the Mossad has managed to maintain better relations with Qatar, such that a decision may have been made to keep them at a distance from this operation. 

Spain Bans Israeli Ministers: A 533-Year-Old Tradition Continues

 

by DIN

Madrid has officially barred Israeli National Security Minister Itamar Ben-Gvir and Finance Minister Bezalel Smotrich from entering the country. Alongside the travel ban, Spain has enacted a permanent arms embargo, recalled its ambassador, and blocked weapons shipments bound for Israel from passing through Spanish ports and airspace.

Cue the history books: in 1492, Spain expelled its Jewish population, forcing tens of thousands into exile. Fast forward five centuries, and the script has a modern twist: instead of swords and decrees, Spain now wields travel bans, embassies-in-retreat, and shipping restrictions. But the storyline is eerily familiar: Jews are again on the receiving end of Madrid’s “principled” moral judgment.

One can almost imagine the ghosts of Ferdinand and Isabella nodding in approval — “Yes, let’s politely ban their ministers instead of burning synagogues!” — proving that some traditions die hard.

For Israelis, the timing is exquisite. Ministers who govern a state at war, whose country faces existential threats, are suddenly persona non grata in a European capital. Meanwhile, Spain’s diplomats make statements about morality, proportionality, and human rights, all while sipping sangria on the Mediterranean coast.

Supporters of the ban claim it’s about Gaza, not Jews. But optics, dear reader, are stubborn things. Spain has managed to combine centuries-old Jewish scapegoating with twenty-first-century bureaucratic sophistication. No need for royal edicts or dusty parchments—just press releases and sanctions.

So, let’s recap:

• 1492: Jews expelled, forced to wander Europe.
• 2025: Israeli ministers expelled, forced to wander airspace restrictions.
• Some things never change. Only now, instead of the Inquisition, it’s Twitter threads and news cycles.

History may not repeat exactly, but in Spain, it seems to have a wicked sense of humor.

The Mysterious Disappearance of Amir Mousavi an ex Iranian Diplomat

  Iran’s Foreign Ministry has officially confirmed the disappearance of former Iranian diplomat Amir Mousavi in Egypt.

Mousavi, who once served as Iran’s cultural attaché, reportedly entered Egypt a few hours earlier using an Iraqi passport. The Foreign Ministry said it is monitoring reports about his disappearance.

Vaccine skeptic pet owners are refusing to inoculate their dogs —insisting the shots cause autism

 

One of the many care requirements for pet owners is to get their beloved fur babies vaccinated to protect them from contagious diseases that could potentially be fatal.

However, more recently, some owners are hesitating to do so because they believe the shots can potentially cause autism in their pooches.

According to a 2023 survey by Boston University School of Public Health published in the journal “Vaccine,” around 37% of dog owners believe canine vaccination could cause their pets to adopt this disorder.

The survey also revealed that more than 20% of owners think pet vaccines are ineffective, and 30% don’t even believe they’re necessary.

To each their own.

While some dogs may present certain behavioral issues that might be associated with autism spectrum disorder — this belief is actually just a myth.

In fact, “pets don’t get autism,” Lori Kogan, PhD, a psychologist and professor of clinical sciences at Colorado State University and chair of the Human-Animal Interaction Section of the American Psychological Association, shared with WebMD in March.

“So that’s not something to worry about,” Kogan explained.

Dr. Michael Q. Bailey, the president of the American Veterinary Medical Association, agreed.

“There is absolutely no scientific proof connecting any vaccine that we produce today with autism,” he told HuffPost of both humans and pets.

“And this has been studied and researched, and I think that this is fairly well settled information in the scientific literature. I really can’t say too much more than that, just because [of] the fact it is considered to be settled. Today’s vaccines have no connection with autism,” Bailey told the outlet.

Bailey noted that “hesitancy is not a bad thing in itself,” emphasizing that people should educate themselves and talk to their veterinarians.

While some pet owners are debating vaccinating their pets — Gen Zers are bringing their furry companions to college with them for emotional support.

Forget an emotional support blanket — reportedly, college students are bringing dogs, cats, rabbits and guinea pigs to live in their dorm rooms with them in record numbers, according to the Associated Press.

“College is such a traumatic experience in the way of you’re getting ripped away from everything you knew before, being thrown in with people you don’t know — especially if you grew up with pets, being so isolated from everything you knew,” recent Marist College grad Sam Gaskins, who housed her beloved bunny for three out of the four years she was in college, told The Post.
