Bennett does not rule out coalition with Arab parties
Former Prime Minister Naftali Bennett did not rule out the possibility of being part of a coalition that includes Arab parties, according to a report broadcast Sunday evening on Kan 11 News.
Speaking at a supporters’ conference in Jerusalem, Bennett was asked whether he would commit to avoiding a coalition with either the haredi or Arab parties. “If seats are lacking, we will have to compromise on a thousand things, and that would be very bad,” he replied. “If the public does not turn out to vote, we will face collapse.”
Positioning himself as the only viable alternative to Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu, Bennett said: “There is a clear Jewish majority for change - 20 seats that voted for parties in the coalition but are dissatisfied. They are mainly Likud supporters and right-wingers. If you put at the top someone who advocates left-wing policies, they won’t accept it. That’s why we checked. These seats - if it is clear to them that it’s Bennett versus Netanyahu - they will vote Bennett.”
He concluded by appealing to his supporters: “I am speaking with the players, with Gadi [Eisenkot] and Evet (Avigdor Liberman), and you can help by writing online that you are with Bennett. That will encourage them to join as well.”
Colombia raids Lev Tahor compound, rescuing 17 boys, girls, and teens from cult members.
Authorities in Colombia announced Sunday night that they had rescued 17 minors from the Lev Tahor cult.
"We rescued 17 boys, girls, and teenagers," Colombia’s immigration authority wrote on X, alongside blurred images of some of the children. "International alerts have been issued regarding crimes against minors connected to this group."
A police report added: “There are indications that some may be victims of kidnapping, suggesting possible human trafficking disguised as religious activity.”
MK Gilad Kariv, who chairs the Knesset Committee for Immigration, Absorption, and Diaspora Affairs, responded: "I commend the Colombian authorities for rescuing 17 minors from the clutches of the Lev Tahor cult."
"The fact that members of the cult were caught in Colombia shows the group's efforts to hide from the eyes of the authorities, and should worry the Israeli government," he added. "As we have repeatedly demanded in Committee hearings, the Israeli government must adopt a clear directive to bring all the sect’s children to Israel - for rescue and rehabilitation."
Last month, approximately ten families affiliated Lev Tahor, who had recently resettled in the New York area, fled to Honduras during the Simchat Torah and Shemini Atzeret holidays.
Their flight followed direct instructions from the sect’s imprisoned leadership, currently serving sentences in a federal prison in Brooklyn.
These families had previously regained custody of their children from welfare authorities in Guatemala after committing to leave the cult, which was officially dismantled earlier this month.
However, some of the families secretly regrouped in New York and coordinated an escape to Honduras, a country known for weak child protection policies.
The directive to flee during the Jewish holiday, thereby desecrating it, was reportedly issued by the cult’s incarcerated leaders, who were convicted of severe crimes against children and members of the sect. The timing was calculated to avoid detection which could have thwarted the escape.
A source familiar with the situation stated, "Honduras is a corrupt country, similar to Guatemala. This was all done through manipulation by the jailed leaders, who convinced the families that it was better to live in a country with no Jewish presence than to remain in America."

Thomas Rose US Ambassador to Poland Absolves Poland of the atrocities and pogroms on Jews Diring the Holocaust
Lost in Thursday’s kerfuffle over whether the US Coast Guard would no longer consider the swastika as a symbol of hate was a far more troubling development in antisemitism. The new US ambassador to Poland, Thomas Rose, delivered a speech in which he absolves Poland, and by extension, the Polish people, of any responsibility whatsoever for the Holocaust.
This is a distortion that cannot be allowed to go unchallenged or unrefuted.
Satmar Rebbe Lights the fire then Talks to it! In Meron a City that the Zionists Captured in 1948
Just Asking
Please explain, the Rebbe won’t visit the Kotel or Mearat Hamachpela because they were “captured” by the Zionists in the miraculous war of 67, yet he visits Rashbi which was captured by the same Zionists in 1948????
Just know that he is using a "fake" voice trying hard to imitate his great uncle R' Yoel Teitelbaum! It sounds fake and its sounds crazy! Why would a normal guy want to sound like that?
The siege of Park East Synagogue and cooperating with Mamdani
(JNS/Jonathan S. Tobin) – In the wake of Zohran Mamdani’s decisive victory in the New York City mayoral election, most Jewish leaders believed that they had no choice but to do their best to cooperate with him. Doing so was in keeping with the traditions of American democracy.
The X account “TorahJews,” an Anti-Zionist Account is based in the Philippines!
X has begun rolling out a new transparency tool called “About this account,” giving users a clearer window into who they’re interacting with online. The feature reveals key details, including an account’s creation date, username-change history, general location setting, and how the user downloaded the app.
The information appears when users tap the “Joined” date on their own profile. For now, access remains limited as X introduces the tool gradually before expanding it more widely.
The update is designed to help users spot inconsistencies — particularly accounts that present themselves as part of one community while operating from a different part of the world. Users can decide whether their profile displays their country or only their wider region through the Privacy and Safety settings.
The X account “TorahJews,” which frequently posts anti-Zionist content and is widely circulated by antisemites, is registered in the Philippines — even though TorahJews.org, the organization behind the account, is based in the United States.
Another example: Alex Soros, son of billionaire George Soros, appears with his account listed as registered in Niger, raising questions about accuracy or configuration.
X is also exploring additional indicators, including potential VPN-use warnings, though it has not confirmed if or when those tools will go live.
The rollout marks one of the platform’s most significant steps toward curbing impersonation, highlighting suspicious behavior, and giving users stronger context before engaging.
X has not commented on the rollout, but more users continue to report seeing the new feature appear on their profiles as the company expands access.
