Donald Trump has announced that a peace deal between the US and Iran will be signed tomorrow in a move designed to bring an end to months of conflict and global instability.
The president said if the agreement is reached Sunday it would see the Strait of Hormuz 'open to all.'
The vital waterway has been blockaded virtually since the US took out Iran's Supreme Leader in targeted strikes which kicked off the war on February 28.
The signing of the peace deal is set to coincide with Trump's 80th birthday and the UFC event he is staging at the the White House.
The president shared the latest update on Truth Social on Saturday afternoon.
A dinner purportedly meant to honor the Jewish Sabbath was filled with a stomach-churning assortment of radical anti-Israel activists, critics told The Post.
Tickets for the Friday night dinner organized by guerrilla activist group Climate Defiance ran as high as $5,000 a pop to nosh with a who’s who of lefty darlings, including anti-Israel provocateur Linda Sarsour; Democratic congressional candidate Brad Lander; radical Queens Democratic socialist Tiffany Caban who was arrested for protesting the war in Gaza; and anti-Israel, Mayor Mamdani-linked trans rabbi Abby Stein.
The kosher and vegan-friendly meal at the home of “social activist” filmmaker Jill Goldman celebrated the Tribeca Film Festival climate hysteria flick “Just Look Up,” which follows Michael Greenberg, founder of Climate Defiance.
Boasting “no phones, no cameras, no tech” the “traditional Shabbat meal” will “break bread” and “build community,” welcoming allies of all “faiths, backgrounds, and traditions,” the invite said.
But critics didn’t buy the supposedly inclusive and intersectional lovefest.
“Why is this being done in secrecy? What is it that you’re going to say that needs to be hidden from the public? Knowing who the players are, this feels like it’s using Shabbat as a cover,” Jewish activist Tali Goldsheft of the “Politically Homeless No More” movement fumed to The Post, alleging the ban on devices at the end shields it from potential scrutiny.
Earlier this month Israel banned Sarsour, the former co-chair of the Women’s March, from a planned visit, which drew outrage from anti-Israel group CAIR.
The Boycott, Divest and Sanction, or BDS, campaign is an international effort aimed at isolating and delegitimizing the world’s only Jewish state.
“Like David Duke, Linda Sarsour is a bigot and a social pariah,” ripped Goldsheft, who accused the Jewish Lander of “using a Jewish tradition to promote himself alongside Sarsour,” who came under fire for her fealty to antisemite Louis Farrakhan.
Dubious onlookers moaned that the melting pot meal was anything but kosher.
“Rather than ‘Shabbat dinner,’ this is nothing more than a ‘Jew-hater dinner,’” said Michelle Ahdoot of End Jew Hatred.
“These very same people advocate for the racist BDS movement, which is unacceptable in today’s society, and frankly, this foursome’s Jew-hatred is unacceptable at any event, most of all at one that they dare to frame as a Shabbat dinner,” she added.
Climate Defiance, Lander and Sarsour did not return The Post’s requests for comment.
In a major geopolitical realignment, the United Arab Emirates has authorized the transfer of billions of dollars to Iran, Reuters reported on Friday.
The policy pivot follows a prolonged campaign of Iranian drone and missile strikes targeting the Gulf nation amidst the broader American-Israeli war with Tehran.
This financial arrangement, unfolding behind closed doors, aligns with the endgame of parallel diplomatic discussions between Washington and Tehran. Observers noted that the wider US negotiations could ultimately unfreeze tens of billions of dollars in blocked Iranian oil revenues currently held overseas due to economic sanctions.
According to two regional insiders quoted by Reuters, Abu Dhabi has agreed to transfer an aggregate sum of $10 billion, with an initial installment exceeding $3 billion already completed. Conversely, two separate individuals tracking the development claim the true figure hovers around $20 billion, affirming that a $3 billion tranche has been cleared. The exact origin of the funds remains unverified, leaving it unclear whether the money represents direct Emirati capital or pre-existing Iranian deposits frozen within the UAE's banking architecture.
In exchange for the massive cash infusion, according to the report, Tehran has pledged to completely halt all aerial aggression against the UAE, paving the way for a restoration of bilateral relations that will include joint intelligence coordination and economic projects.
The diplomatic channels further reveal that Iran has initiated similar outreach to at least two other neighboring Gulf Arab states.
The Hezbollah-affiliated newspaper Al-Akhbar reports that the emerging agreement would include a complete halt to military operations in Lebanon, a timetable for a rapid Israeli withdrawal, guarantees to end demolition activities, and the release of Hezbollah detainees.
As we try to make sense of the nerve-shredding on-off-on war with Iran, and in particular, attempt to reconcile U.S. President Donald Trump’s Truth Social posts with each other, one question keeps reasserting itself.
How is the Iranian regime able to remain in the game? Its leadership has been decapitated. Its economy has been devastated by America’s naval blockade. Its air defenses have been obliterated (twice). Its missile stocks are degraded. It is rationing electricity supplies.
By conventional standards, it should have thrown in the towel well before now.
The Chareidim are revolting and I'm DISGUSTED! We have been baking for our soldiers for 2.5 years..(this was week no. 132!) Our 2 drivers took the goods to our Chamal in Ramat Gan yesterday - החמ"ל המתוק - It took the driver who left at 6.30pm 2 hours..and it took our volunteer driver, Meir Charash, loving husband of our dedicated volunteer Devorah Roytenberg Charash FOUR HOURS one way! Note the irony...we are sending love in the form of baked goods to our heros who have served hundreds of days in miluim over the past nearly 3 years, fighting for the survival of this country...and those pieces of dirt yesterday brought our major roads to a standstill REFUSING to stand up and fight for our nation! I heard one "religious" (yeah right!) man say he'd rather die than serve in the army! (REALLY?!) WHAT are the "ultra orthodox" yeshivot teaching these people?? Maybe they should take a leaf out of the Gemorah pages of Hesder Yeshiva students, who have been studying Torah AND fighting for our survival?! As I say, I'm disgusted and truly worried. THIS is what will tear our nation apart..in-fighting, not external. and KOL HAKAVOD MEIR...we love u!
Rabbi Yoshiyahu Pinto claims he is certain that he remembers his own bris milah and the exact moment he entered the world from his mother's womb, noting that he even consulted with psychologists regarding this.
Adeena Cohn Is Officially Free as High-Profile Divorce Case Reaches Resolution Amid Civil Divorce Settled because of the interceding of Flatbush Girl!
The long-running and highly publicized divorce dispute between Adeena Cohn and Raphi Stein has been resolved, bringing an end to one of the most talked-about get-refusal cases in the Orthodox Jewish community.
The Vaad Harabbanim D’Gittin confirmed the development in a rare public statement, saying it was “pleased to confirm that a complex divorce which has drawn significant communal attention in recent months has been brought to a successful resolution.”
Supporters of Adeena alleged that Stein had refused to grant her a get, a Jewish religious divorce document, for approximately five years, leaving her an agunah, or “chained woman.” The case sparked the viral #FreeAdeena movement, led by activists and influencers including Adina Sash, better known as “Flatbush Girl.”
The campaign drew widespread attention through rallies, LED billboard trucks, and social media activism, while some of its more provocative tactics such as a viral social media movement where ultra-Orthodox women post photos baring parts of their skin to protest the issue, insiders say what really got the get is that the civil case was resolved as well as askonim and Rabbonim in the community such as R’ Schabbes and R’ Mattis Gilbert.Helped
The Vaad said it was commenting only because of “the unusual degree of public attention this particular matter attracted” and noted that the resolution was achieved privately, “with unwavering fidelity to halacha, sound legal judgment, and respect for the dignity of everyone involved.”
The organization wished both parties “bracha and hatzlacha as they move forward with their lives.”
Following a divorce, a loss, and a crisis of faith, Claire Blumenthal Zeitler went in search of her biological parents and her Arab heritage. After ten years living in Arab countries, Claire returned to Judaism and the Jewish community.
At six weeks old, Claire was adopted by an observant Jewish family. Every Friday night, recalls Claire, “my mother used to sit me down after lighting candles and say, ‘We love you. You are not born from my tummy, but you're born from my heart.’ And then she would answer whatever questions I had. She would reassure me if I didn't feel loved. She was just completely there for me. So I grew up in a very happy, healthy home.”
Despite these weekly reassurances, young Claire always had a fear of abandonment. Her mother remembers finding a stash of sandwiches, which three-year-old Claire had hidden in her sock drawer, ready to go just in case her parents left her somewhere. “I used to climb into my mother’s bed every single night because of the fear that she won’t be there in the morning,” recalls Claire.
Claire’s adoptive family had one biological son, seven years older than her. Her father was a doctor with a busy medical practice, and he was rarely home during the week.
When Claire started school, things got harder. She struggled academically and was taken out of regular classes for remedial tutoring. She was also bullied by her classmates and spent her school breaks alone. Despite her parents’ love and devotion, “I was completely insecure.”
As a child, Claire had wondered about her biological parents but had no way of finding out who they were due to the legal nature of closed adoption. She knew that her biological parents were not Jewish and that she was converted to Judaism.
