October 7th drama series to reach millions of viewers worldwide

 Paramount+ has acquired worldwide rights to RED ALERT, a four-part drama series depicting the true-life harrowing events of October 7, 2023. All four episodes of RED ALERT will premiere globally on Paramount+ and Keshet 12 in Israel on Tuesday, October 7, two years to the day of the historic terror attacks.

Created, written and directed by Lior Chefetz (The Stronghold, Sky Raiders) and produced by Keshet Media Group (Homeland, A Small Light) and Academy Award nominee Lawrence Bender (Pulp Fiction, Inglourious Basterds) with Green Productions (Cinema Sabaya, Menashe, Golda) and the IEF (Israel Entertainment Fund), 

RED ALERT portrays the largest and deadliest massacre in Israel’s history, when more than 1,200 concert-goers, families and individuals near the Gaza border were murdered and 250 kidnapped. Drawing from the true experiences of those who survived, the series weaves their courageous personal stories into a cinematic narrative of the devastating terrorist attack that turned southern Israel into a war zone, testing humanity and forging heroism through chaos.

Watch: Macron calls Trump after being blocked by His Motorcade

French President Emmanuel Macron was forced to make an unscheduled call to US President Donald Trump after he found himself blocked from leaving the United Nations headquarters in New York due to security for the American President's motorcade route.

Macron was attempting to reach the French diplomatic mission in New York after addressing the UN on Monday night.

“How are you?” Macron said when he called Trump on his cell phone. “Guess what? I’m waiting in the street because everything is frozen for you!”

Trump tells Arab leaders - No Israeli sovereignty in Judea and Samaria

 

President Donald Trump assured Arab leaders during a high-level meeting at the United Nations on Tuesday that Israel will not be permitted to enact sovereignty in Judea and Samaria, Politico reported, citing six people familiar with the discussion.

According to the report, two participants said Trump was unequivocal, emphasizing that Israel would not be allowed to absorb the territory, which is under the control of the Palestinian Authority. Axios journalist Barak Ravid confirmed through a source present at the meeting that Trump explicitly told Arab and Muslim leaders he would block Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu from pursuing such a move.

Despite Trump’s assurance, Politico noted that no ceasefire to end Israel’s nearly two-year war against Hamas appeared imminent. Sources also indicated that the administration circulated a white paper outlining a broader plan, addressing governance and security issues in a postwar scenario.

Before the meeting, Trump described the gathering with leaders from eight Arab nations as his “most important” of the day. However, he left without making public remarks, and no official readout has been released.

Turkish President Recep Tayyip Erdogan later described the session as “fruitful” in an interview with Fox News, though he provided no further details. Erdogan is scheduled to meet Trump again at the White House on Thursday.

Arab leaders entered the meeting with concerns that any Israeli action in Judea and Samaria could jeopardize the Abraham Accords, Politico said. The accords, a hallmark of Trump’s first term, normalized relations between Israel and several Arab states.

Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu is scheduled to depart for the United States at 3:00 a.m. (Israel time) between Wednesday and Thursday. He will address the UN General Assembly on Friday at 9:00 a.m. EST (4:00 p.m. Israel time).

Miami-Dade County’s Jewish Mayor's Son is a Hamas Supporter

 

Like many Jewish mothers, Daniella Levine Cava may be expecting tensions over Israel at the Rosh Hashanah table.

But for her, the personal truly is political: Levine Cava is the mayor of Miami-Dade County, and her son is vocally opposed to her office’s investments in Israel bonds.

Ted Cava, a local writer and former labor leader, showed up at a recent county meeting to urge his mother to divest from the county’s Israel bonds. Wearing a “Jews Say Divest From Genocide” T-shirt, he and his 1-year-old daughter Leila stood with fellow members of Jewish Voice for Peace South Florida, the anti-Zionist group. The group says the county should shed what it believes is more than $151 million in Israel bonds.

“This is very uncomfortable for me. I love my mother a lot,” Cava, 36, told the Miami Herald at the event on Thursday. “We’re going to have Shabbat dinner tomorrow night. But she’s wrong on this.”

The spectacle was a potent illustration of how the ongoing war in Gaza, which began when Hamas attacked Israel from the enclave on Oct. 7, 2023, and is now approaching its grim second anniversary, has sharply split Jewish opinion — sometimes within the same family. Recent polling shows that overall approval of Israel’s war in Gaza among Americans is sharply split along generational lines, with 49% of those over 55.approving, and only 9% of respondents under 35 approving. Another poll specifically of American Jews, released last week, found that 53% disapprove of the war.

Trump Snubs Biden With Autopen Photo on New Presidential Walk of Fame

President Donald Trump has added a Presidential Walk of Fame to the exterior of the White House, featuring portraits of each of the previous commanders-in-chief — except for one.

Instead of a headshot of Joe Biden, the Republican incumbent instead hung a photo of an autopen signing the Democrat’s name — a reference to Trump’s frequent allegation that the former president was addled by the end of his term in office and not really the one making decisions.

The snub amounts to the latest attempt by Trump to delegitimize a predecessor he routinely belittles, including in front of more than 100 world leaders on Tuesday at the United Nations General Assembly gathering. Trump has never acknowledged his own defeat to Biden in the 2020 election, instead falsely chalking up the outcome to voter fraud.

Trump had previously signaled he would represent Biden with an autopen on the Presidential Walk of Fame. Trump has alleged that Biden administration officials might have forged their boss’s signature by using the autopen and taken broad actions he wasn’t aware of.

He’s also cast doubt on the validity of pardons and other documents that Biden signed with an autopen, even though other presidents before him have also relied on the device to sign key papers. A key Republican-led House committee also is investigating the Biden administration’s autopen use.

White House staff sent out a burst of social media posts Wednesday afternoon gleefully promoting the finished project. The media may get its first in-person glimpse of the Walk of Fame when Trump hosts a dinner Wednesday night on the new Rose Garden patio that sits adjacent to the West Wing Collonade on which the portraits hang.

The addition of the Walk of Fame is the latest in a series of design changes he’s made at the White House since resuming office. He’s also added gold flourishes to the Oval Office walls, installed massive new flagpoles on both lawns, replaced the grass in the Rose Garden with patio stone and started construction on a massive new ballroom.

Did the UN Sabotage Trump..??? Secret Service Is Investigating

 President Donald Trump said Wednesday that he was the victim of “three very sinister events” during his time at the United Nations on Tuesday and that the Secret Service will be looking into the issues.

The president was attending the U.N. General Assembly, where he gave a speech excoriating the institution for having squandered its potential. He also criticized U.S. allies in Europe for their handling of the Russian war in Ukraine and their acceptance of immigrants as he told fellow world leaders that their nations were “going to hell.”

Video PlayerOn his social media website, Trump indicated that he was in a sour mood at the U.N. because of a trio of mishaps that he suggested was part of a conspiracy against him.

First, the escalator came to a “screeching halt” with Trump and his entourage on it, an event that Trump called “absolutely sabotage.”

Stephane Dujarric, the U.N. spokesman, said a videographer from the U.S. delegation who ran ahead of Trump may have “inadvertently” triggered the stop mechanism at the top of the escalator.

“The people that did it should be arrested,” Trump said on Truth Social.

Second, Trump said his teleprompter went “stone cold dark” during his address to the U.N. The problem with that accusation is the White House was responsible for operating the teleprompter for the president, according to a U.N. official who spoke on condition of anonymity because of the sensitivity of the issue.

Third, Trump said that the sound was off at the U.N. as he spoke and that people could only hear his remarks if they had interpreters speaking into earpieces. Trump said his wife, Melania, told him she couldn’t hear what he said.

“This wasn’t a coincidence, this was triple sabotage,” said Trump, who is seeking an investigation of the matter.

Trump told the U.N. to save its security tapes regarding the escalator stoppage as the Secret Service will be involved in the inquiry.

Trump attacks UN, NATO and London's mayor during general assembly speech | Watch in full

Watching President Trump slice and dice the United Nations Tuesday morning, I couldn’t help but think that the gods have a sense of humor — and excellent timing.

The fact that neither the building’s escalator nor its teleprompter was working gave Trump fresh ammunition for his broad onslaught, which was well designed and extremely effective.

He saw the malfunctions as a metaphor for a blob of bureaucrats failing at their core reason for being.

He didn’t skimp on offering abundant evidence that the world body is a bust at making peace and keeping it.

Indeed, he argued that, beyond being useless, its weakness is actually making some big problems worse.

“What is the purpose of the United Nations?” he asked before answering his own question: “For the most part, at least for now, all they seem to do is write a really strongly worded letter and then never follow that letter up. It’s empty words, and empty words don’t solve wars.”

That and many other passages were examples of American straight talk at its best and most blunt.

His punches were all the more powerful for being delivered in a forum where obfuscation is prized and deception is often disguised as diplomacy.

At 57 minutes, the president’s address could have used a trim here and there to tighten the focus and eliminate some of the excessive self-references.

Still, his meaning was clear and his main points were ones his international audience needed to hear, especially if they didn’t want to!

Given Trump’s cuts to foreign spending, it’s no surprise to the global grifters that Uncle Sam will no longer be Uncle Sap when it comes to funding their wastrel ways.

Moreover, the president removed any doubts that his America First agenda would ever yield its sovereignty and principles to a failed globalist regime.

That was the contrast at the heart of Trump’s address, which made it especially compelling as he cited both America’s success in key ways and the sputtering failures of our European allies, among others.

Shana Tova To All !

Outrage in Israel as Government Set to Release Draft Dodgers

The IDF has confirmed that Charedi draft evaders who were recently arrested by the military police will be released from prison early in honor of Rosh Hashanah.

This is a regular holiday amnesty plan in the army, under which soldiers who are imprisoned are released a few days early in honor of the holidays.

The IDF stated that the army's enforcement agencies have the authority to order the early release of soldiers who are in custody or in prison, provided that the conditions set forth in the regulations are met, "this authority has been used for many years in an equal and uniform manner, and the claim that this is a unique initiative to release haredi draft evaders is baseless."

It was also stated that in practice, of all those eligible for early release for the holiday, only a few belong to the haredi sector, and they are included in the general plan, just like the rest of the population. "These are IDF regulations that have been implemented and are being implemented continuously, without any interference or influence from the political echelon," it said.

Despite the clarifications, the announcement caused a stir online. Military correspondent Doron Kadosh wrote: 

"And yet, even if the move has indeed been made for years, and even if it was equitable and not just for the haredi - does anyone in the IDF think that these days, when more than 100,000 reservists will not be spending the upcoming holidays at home, and when tens of thousands of regular, permanent and reserve soldiers are in Gaza, Lebanon, Syria, Judea and Samaria and all over our borders - it is reasonable to release draft evaders, from any sector, who chose to evade military service?!"

According to him, "These days, this is completely flawed judgment. A decision that is a disgrace and a huge stain on the IDF and everyone who made the decision."
