Israel and US agree: Talks with Hamas to be fully coordinated between the countries

 

Israeli officials have spoken with their counterparts in the Trump administration to clear up the issue of talks between White House Hostage Affairs Envoy Adam Boehler and the Hamas terror organization over the release of hostages from Gaza.

According to Kan Reshet Bet, Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu and his staff told the cabinet on Sunday that the sides came to an agreement that any talks between Boehler and the terror organization would be fully coordinated with Israel.

The cabinet ministers were told that "the issue has been solved."

This follows reports that not all the talks were not coordinated with Israel. Last week Axios reported a heated conversation between Boehler and Israeli Strategic Affairs Minister Ron Dermer about Israel’s deep concerns over secret negotiations.

Boehler discussed the contacts with Hamas and the conversation with Minister Dermer in a series of Sunday interviews with both American and Israeli news outlets.

In an interview with CNN, he said: “I spoke with Ron, and I’m sympathetic. He has someone that he doesn’t know well making direct contact with Hamas. Maybe I would see them and say, ‘Look, they don’t have horns growing out of their head. They’re actually guys like us. They’re pretty nice guys.’”

He told Kan News that "Hamas suggested that they would release all hostages, lay down their weapons, and no longer be part of the politics of Gaza and that the US and its allies would ensure there was no military infrastructure remaining in Gaza. In exchange, there would be a five to ten-year truce, and the US and other countries would help rebuild Gaza."

He later clarified the remarks he made in the CNN interview in a post on social media:

 “I want to be CRYSTAL CLEAR as some have misinterpreted. Hamas is a terrorist organization that has murdered thousands of innocent people. They are BY DEFINITION BAD people. And as President Trump has said, not a single Hamas member will be safe if Hamas doesn’t RELEASE ALL HOSTAGES IMMEDIATELY."

Agam Berger: Please Keep Shabbat As A Merit For Remaining Hostages

 Freed hostage Agam Berger, who became famous for her heroic efforts to keep Shabbat and Kashrut while in captivity, made a special request in honor of Shabbat Zachor, the Shabbat when we remember the wicked acts of Amalek and the obligation to eliminate the evil nation. Berger requested that people keep this Shabbat as a merit for the hostages still languishing in Gaza that they should return and as a memory for all those who lost their lives since Oct. 7th.

Berger also thanked the people of Israel for all of the prayers, mitzvot and good deeds done on her behalf while she was in Hamas captivity.

Israel Cutting off Its Electricity Supply to Gaza

  Israel will stop supplying electricity to the Gaza Strip, Energy and Infrastructure Minister Eli Cohen said on Sunday.

“We will employ all the tools available to us so that all the hostages will return, and we will ensure that Hamas won’t be in Gaza on the ‘day after,’” Cohen said in a video statement.

Last Sunday, the Israeli government announced the suspension of all humanitarian aid to Gaza after the Hamas terrorist organization rejected the ceasefire extension proposed by U.S. Middle East envoy Steve Witkoff.

Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu said that no goods or supplies would enter Gaza until further notice, reaffirming that Jerusalem will not agree to a ceasefire without the release of hostages.

Since the ceasefire took effect on Jan. 19, more than 25,000 aid trucks carrying food, water and medicine have entered Gaza, alongside more than half a million tents and more than 2,000 fuel tankers. Israeli officials estimate that Hamas has stockpiled supplies sufficient for four to six months.

“There is no shortage of essential products in the Strip whatsoever,” said Israel’s Foreign Ministry on Wednesday, in response to a joint statement by the foreign ministers of the E3—France, Germany and the United Kingdom.

“We express our deep concern at the Government of Israel’s announcement on 2 March to halt all entry of goods and supplies into Gaza,” the E3 said on March 5.

“We call on the Government of Israel to abide by its international obligations to ensure full, rapid, safe and unhindered provision of humanitarian assistance to the population in Gaza,” it added.

Stolen humanitarian aid became the economic lifeline for Hamas during the current Gaza war, handing it profits estimated at a half-billion dollars, according to Channel 12.

Netanyahu addressed the issue of Hamas exploiting aid for its benefit at a Sept. 4 press conference in Jerusalem, promising that Israel would in time strip the terrorist group of its ability to use the stolen supplies for financial gain.

The Foreign Ministry quoted former U.S. President Joe Biden, who said on Oct. 18, 2023, that if Hamas “diverts or steals” the aid, then “it will stop the international community from being able to provide” it.

“Aid that goes to Hamas is not humanitarian. Enabling the enemy to resupply itself so it can regroup and attack you again is not humanitarian—it is suicidal and will not be allowed,” the Foreign Ministry said.

David Mencer, spokesman for the Prime Minister’s Office in Jerusalem, told press on March 3: “It is Hamas who is harming the Gazan population. Hamas systematically takes the humanitarian aid and sells it to support their own terror. … Hamas could be humanitarian but they’ve in fact been barbarian.”

With Witkoff slated to travel to Doha on Tuesday to encourage negotiations between Israel and Hamas, the Jewish state confirmed that it will participate in the discussions.

“Israel has accepted the invitation of the mediators backed by the United States,” the Prime Minister’s Office stated, in a translation of the Hebrew, “and will send a delegation to Doha on Monday in an effort to advance the negotiations.”

Columbia Univer Pro-Hamas Mahmoud Khalil Arrested and being Deported

In a decisive move that marks a new chapter in President Donald Trump’s crackdown on foreign students involved in anti-Israel protests, federal immigration authorities arrested Mahmoud Khalil, a prominent Palestinian activist, Saturday night. This arrest follows Trump’s earlier threats to deport foreign agitators and imprison those leading the charge against the U.S.’s stance on Israel.

Khalil, who played a central role in Columbia University’s student encampment protests, was apprehended in his apartment just blocks from the prestigious Manhattan campus. The immigration authorities, acting under a State Department order, revealed their intent to revoke Khalil’s green card, a dramatic escalation in the administration’s war on radical campus activism.

Khalil, who graduated in December, had been a thorn in the side of both the university and U.S. officials for his outspoken anti-Israel stance. As one of the most visible faces of the pro-Palestinian movement on campus, he had often been vocal about his belief that Columbia benefited from “Israeli apartheid” and vowed that student resistance would persist.

His arrest follows Trump’s recent actions to place additional scrutiny on Ivy League universities, particularly Columbia. On Friday, the Trump administration announced a $400 million cut in grants and contracts to the university, blaming the school for failing to contain antisemitism amid campus protests.

Trump’s firm stance against anti-Israel activists is clear. He has made no secret of his plan to target individuals who disrupt American interests under the guise of protest, and his administration is now delivering on those promises. As part of the crackdown, Khalil, who holds permanent residency, was detained despite his status as a legal resident, further intensifying the stakes for activists like him.

Khalil’s attorney, Amy Greer, expressed frustration at the lack of details surrounding the arrest. “This is a clear escalation,” she said, as she described the detainment of Khalil as an example of the administration following through on its threats. His wife, who is eight months pregnant according to the Associated Press, was left in the dark as authorities declined to explain why Khalil was being detained, a stark reminder of the Trump administration’s unwavering commitment to cracking down on anti-Israel rhetoric.

Trump’s strategy is not just about targeting individuals like Khalil but sending a clear message to both foreign students and U.S. universities. His administration is following through on its pledge to ensure that institutions that foster antisemitism and anti-American sentiment face serious consequences. By cutting funding and revoking student visas, the administration is forcing schools like Columbia to reconsider their handling of divisive activism.

In a statement, a spokesperson for Columbia University said that law enforcement must provide a warrant to enter university property, but declined to confirm whether such a warrant had been issued for Khalil’s arrest. As the situation unfolds, one thing is clear: Trump is not backing down from his promise to hold university activists accountable, no matter the consequences.

Paterson Is the Capital of Palestine in the United States of America ,,, Mayor of Paterson

 

Paterson, New Jersey, is undergoing a rapid transformation, with local leaders emphasizing Islamic identity and Palestinian nationalism, sparking concerns among critics about the city’s shift away from its historical roots.

The recent Hilal Lighting Ceremony, a city-endorsed event marking Ramadan, is seen as more than a religious celebration, but a political rally for Palestinian nationalism. The ceremony took place in “Little Palestine,” an area of the city now officially renamed Palestine Way in 2022.

Paterson, home to a growing Palestinian population, has seen its streets lined with Palestinian flags and Arabic signage. This cultural shift, led by Muslim elected officials, has led some to question if the city is evolving into an Islamic stronghold.

Muslim politicians, including Mayor Andre Sayegh, Councilmen Shahin Khalique, MD Forid Uddin, and Ibrahim Omar, as well as Deputy Mayor Raed Odeah, are at the forefront of this shift. The officials have championed policies catering to Islamic interests, such as halal food in public schools, school closures for Eid, and the broadcasting of the Adhan (Islamic call to prayer).

During the Hilal Lighting Ceremony, Mayor Sayegh declared Paterson “the capital of Palestine in the United States,” and referred to it as the “fourth holiest city in the world” after Jerusalem, Mecca, and Medina. These statements, along with efforts to prioritize Islamic practices in the city, have raised concerns about the future direction of Paterson.

The event was supported by several organizations with strong pro-Palestinian ties, including the Palestinian American Community Center (PACC) and the Islamic Center of Passaic County (ICPC), both of which have been accused of promoting radical pro-Palestinian and anti-Israel rhetoric.

The political shift in Paterson has led to questions about the role of Islamic influence in American cities and the line between cultural representation and political activism. Critics argue that the city’s transformation into an Islamic and Palestinian enclave could undermine the values that have traditionally defined Paterson.

As Paterson continues to evolve, the city’s identity remains a contentious issue, with Muslim leaders asserting their political and religious influence and others raising concerns about the implications for the broader community.

Horrifying, the mayor of Paterson, NJ declares that it is not an American city, it is a Palestinian city.

“Paterson is the capital of Palestine in the United States of America.”

Biden's 'autopen signature' appears on most official docs, raising concerns over who controlled the WH

 

The majority of official documents signed by President Joe Biden allegedly used the same autopen signature, reinvigorating concerns over the former president’s mental acuity and if he "actually ordered the signature of relevant legal documents," a report published by an arm of the Heritage Foundation found. 

"WHOEVER CONTROLLED THE AUTOPEN CONTROLLED THE PRESIDENCY," the Oversight Project, which is an initiative within the conservative Heritage Foundation that investigates the government to bolster transparency, posted to X on Thursday. 

Israeli universities threaten to strike if attorney general fired ...but "ISRAEL NOT FRIGHTENED!"

 

The heads of eight research universities in Israel published a declaration on Sunday threatening to strike if Attorney General Gali Baharav-Miara is dismissed.

This comes after Justice Minister Yariv Levin initiated proceedings to replace Baharav-Miara, following several public spats between government leaders and the attorney general. 

The signatories of the document are: Professor Daniel Chamovitz, president of Ben-Gurion University of the Negev; Professor Gur Alroey, president of the University of Haifa; Professor Alon Chen, president of the Weizmann Institute of Science; Professor Asher Cohen, president of the Hebrew University of Jerusalem; Professor Uri Sivan, president of the Technion - Israel Institute of Technology; Professor Ariel Porat, president of Tel Aviv University; Professor Arie Zaban, president of Bar-Ilan University; and Professor Leo Corry, president of the Open University.

"The signatory presidents of the universities hereby warn of an unprecedented danger to the rule of law in the State of Israel if the government's attorney general is dismissed," they wrote. "In the democratic regime that rules in Israel, the attorney general is the most important guardian against possible government infringement of civil rights and private rights of the country's residents. She is the one who maintains proper policing. She, together with the courts, represents the arrow between a democratic rule in which checks and balances on the government are necessary, and a tyrannical dictatorship in which the government can do whatever it wants," they said.

"The legal adviser is a public servant, not a politician. Her only 'sin' is that she fulfills her role with great professionalism and courage," the letter continued. "Therefore, the calls by ministers in the government and members of the Knesset for her dismissal are nothing but calls to get rid of the rule of law. Any harm to the rule of law will result in severe damage to Israeli society, including the economy and security. If the legal adviser is dismissed, we will declare our personal strike, protest against the move, and call on others to do the same. We implore these parties to declare their intention to act as soon as possible."

Education Minister Yoav Kish wrote on his X account in response: 

"I just answered the heads of the universities – you are confused. Threats of a strike to influence policy do not frighten us. The end of democracy will not come because of the attorney general's resignation, on the contrary – finally, the people's will be expressed. An attorney general who opposes the government in every action from her first day is not worthy to remain in her position, and therefore the dismissal process has begun. It would have been better had she resigned on her own initiative."

Syria's new regime accused of massacring 1000 civilians

 

Syrian security forces entering the western town of Baniyas in Syria's coastal province of Tartus to reinforce government troops

Over 1,000 people were killed in two days of fighting in Syria between security forces under to the new Syrian Islamist leaders and fighters from ousted president Bashar al-Assad's Alawite sect on the other hand, according to the Syrian Observatory for Human Rights on Saturday.

The victims included 745 civilians, 125 members of the Syrian security forces, and 148 fighters loyal to Assad, the UK-based Observatory said. These figures have not been verified by major international news outlets.

Al Jazeera said that, as of Sunday, 231 members of the regime forces had been killed.

The intense fighting broke out late last week as the Alawite militias launched an offensive against the new government's fighters in the coastal region of the country, prompting a massive deployment ordered by new leader Ahmed al-Sharaa.

"We must preserve national unity and civil peace as much as possible and... we will be able to live together in this country," al-Sharaa said, as quoted in the BBC.

The death toll represents the most severe escalations since Assad was ousted late last year, and is one of the most costly in terms of human lives since the civil war began in 2011.

The counter-offensive launched by al-Sharaa's forces was marked by reported revenge killings and atrocities in the Latakia region, a stronghold of the Alawite minority in the country.

President Trump, keep up the crackdown on campus antisemites

The speed and scope of actions coming from Donald Trump’s White House remain breathtaking.

Among other big moves Friday, the 46th day of his administration, the president said he was “strongly considering” imposing sanctions and tariffs against Russia until it agrees to a peace deal in Ukraine.

He also said America will offer a rapid pathway to citizenship for South African farmers whose government is threatening to confiscate their property.

And Trump revealed that he sent a letter to the Iranian government with an offer to negotiate a deal to prevent Tehran from acquiring a nuclear weapon.

Other comments concerned the on-again, off-again tariff programs and his warning to Hamas to release all hostages “or there would be hell to pay.”

All of these issues are incredibly important, but for my taste, the most significant action Friday involved none of the above.

It was the administration’s announcement that it was canceling $400 million in federal grants and contracts given to Columbia University over its failure to address rampant antisemitism on its Manhattan campus.

It followed, by one day, a State Department announcement that it had yanked the first visa of a foreign student linked to “Hamas-supporting disruptions.”

Although the student and the school involved were not identified, it’s a certainty the twin developments are sending shock waves through colleges and universities across the nation — and that’s the point.

The moves lower the boom on the campus radicals, including professors, who are supporting the murderous terrorist organization and the feckless university administrators who have done little or nothing to stop them.

Reports indicate that grant cancellations for other schools will soon follow, with officials from the Department of Education saying recently they were conducting investigations of five universities where repeated antisemitic harassment incidents were reported.

Columbia was one of the five, with the others being Northwestern University, Portland State University, the University of California, Berkeley, and the University of Minnesota, Twin Cities.

“Universities must comply with all federal antidiscrimination laws if they are going to receive federal funding,” Education Secretary Linda McMahon said Friday.

“Columbia has abandoned that obligation to Jewish students studying on its campus.”

It’s possible that Yale, another Ivy League school, could be in the crosshairs.

It received a “D” in a recent Anti-Defamation League report card over the distribution of antisemitic flyers on campus and an anti-Israel rally where protesters chanted, “Free our prisoners, free them all, Zionism must fall.”

Secretary of State Rubio ‘Frustrated’ Feels ‘Sidelined"

 

Secretary of State Marco Rubio is reportedly frustrated by being sidelined in major foreign policy decisions. 

Despite his hawkish stance on Russia and support for Ukraine, Rubio has found himself out of the loop, with President Trump appointing multiple envoys for key issues without his consultation. 

American Airlines and the other Airlines That Still refuse to Fly to Israel

Roughly a year and a half after Hamas’s Oct. 7 terror attack prompted major airlines across the globe to pause flights to Israel, many of them still haven’t resumed service or said when they plan to do so—including in countries led by bitter opponents of the Jewish state.

Domestically, American Airlines and Delta continue to pause their flights into Israel, citing a tumultuous security situation. Delta intends to restore service from New York’s JFK Airport on April 1, offering 2,000 weekly seats to passengers, an airline spokesman told the Washington Free Beacon. American Airlines flights, meanwhile, remain in limbo. An airline spokesman said that service to Tel Aviv is not slated to resume at this point.

“American continuously evaluates its network and we have nothing new to share at this time regarding Tel Aviv service,” the spokesman said, noting that the airline does offer service through its partners. “Customers who are planning travel to Israel can purchase tickets on aa.com on flights operated by our partner airlines that serve Tel Aviv.”

Scores of international carriers have similarly declined to announce a date for their resumption of flights to Israel. Here is a collection:

Trump Shocked: 'Wasn't anyone there kind?

 

US President Donald Trump expressed his surprise after meeting with released hostages earlier this week, learning that none of their Hamas captors showed them any kindness.

"I said, ‘Did you see anybody in there who was kind? They said no,’" Trump recalled while speaking to reporters in the Oval Office.

He continued, "The answer was nobody. There was nobody. Just the opposite. They’d be slapped and punched. One man broke his ribs. He couldn’t breathe for a month. It was brutal,’" which seemed to reference the testimony of recently freed hostage Eli Sharabi.

"I was so surprised. Because you think there’d be a couple of people that would be kind, that would say, ‘You’re going to be okay.’ But they had none of that. It’s pretty amazing," Trump added.

Hundreds of Chareidim Daven At Rav Ashi’s Kever On Lebanon Border With IDF Escort

 

by Fayga Marks 

Over the past few years, I’ve visited countless Jewish heritage sites across Israel—some famous, some nearly forgotten, and many that are only accessible under special security arrangements. Each visit has been a chance to reconnect with our history, but this time, I knew it would be different.

When I saw the rare opportunity to visit the Kever of Rav Ashi, buried near the Israeli-Lebanese border, I understood this was a once-in-a-lifetime experience. Few people have ever stepped foot here, and visits are almost never permitted.

 Just a few weeks ago, a group of 20 Breslov chassidim arrived at the site without proper IDF coordination. Their attempt to access the tomb caused a serious security incident, as they snuck across the Israeli-Lebanese border without permission, which could have led to dangerous consequences. This was a place where every step required approval, every movement was monitored, and every moment carried both spiritual weight and real risk.

I knew the journey would be long—at least 6 to 10 hours—and that security restrictions would be tight. The IDF only approved a very small number of visitors, and out of nearly 800 people who went, I was the only woman. 

Our journey began in Jerusalem, with a short stop at Meron to visit Rashbi’s kever before continuing north. As we approached the border, the reality of what we were about to do set in. We were walking through a military zone, in complete darkness, knowing that our enemies were watching us from just meters away.

The Kever of Rav Ashi, together with that of Rav Papa, is mentioned in Sefer Yichus Avos as being located on Har Shanan. But for over two decades, the site had been inaccessible. It was abandoned in 2000 when Israel withdrew from Lebanon, and for security reasons, the IDF stopped allowing visitors altogether. Now, the site is divided by a barbed wire fence, with an IDF outpost stationed on the Israeli side. Access is only granted under strict military escort.

We were told to stay within a specific area, not to use flashlights, not to take photos—every action had to be carefully measured. The kever itself had recently been repainted blue by Breslov chassidim, marking the first effort in years to maintain the site. But even that was a quiet battle, a reminder of how much effort it takes to preserve our history in places where our presence is not guaranteed.

This was the first officially approved visit to Rav Ashi’s kever in five years. That fact alone is staggering. It made me realize something painful: so much of our history is being forgotten. How many sites like this—holy places, places of deep significance—are being left behind? How many will disappear in 50 or 100 years if we don’t fight for them now?

I’ve been to Kever Yosef in Shechem countless times, a site that also requires heavy security. But this was different. The tension, the weight of history, the feeling that if we don’t stand here today, there may not be a tomorrow for these places.

I didn’t just go to say a prayer. I went to take responsibility. To walk, to see, to feel—to understand, with my own eyes and hands, what it means to fight for our heritage.

For centuries, Jews have preserved our past through learning, through prayer, and through storytelling. But we must also preserve it through action. We cannot just visit the places that are easy and convenient—we must fight for the places that are fading from memory.

I want to thank Netanel Snir and the Kever Yosef Administration for making this possible. Their relentless work, along with the IDF soldiers who risk their lives to protect these places, is the reason we can still stand at sites like this today.

This wasn’t just a journey. It was a statement. That we will not forget. That we will return. That no place is too far, too dangerous, or too forgotten—because our history lives in the land, and we will never abandon it.

And for me? It was worth every moment.

FAT Nadler Slams Trump for Canceling $400 Million of Grants to Columbia Univ

Once again, Congressman Fatso Jerrold Nadler (NY-12) has proven that his loyalty lies not with Americans or his own Jewish people, but with the far-left ideology that has overtaken the Democratic Party. 

In a shameful statement, Fat Nadler and fellow progressive Rep. Adriano Espaillat (NY-13) slammed the Trump administration’s decision to revoke $400 million in federal grants to Columbia University, an institution that has allowed antisemitic harassment to flourish unchecked.

Nadler and his allies claim that pulling these funds isn’t about combating antisemitism, but about waging a “war on education and science.”

Columbia University has been a hotbed of anti-Jewish hate, with Jewish students facing harassment, threats, and intimidation. Yet, instead of standing up for his own people, Nadler is more concerned with protecting the woke academic elites who have done nothing to ensure the safety of Jewish students.

This is nothing new for Nadler. Time and again, he has abandoned Jewish interests in favor of radical leftist policies. In 2015, he backed the disastrous Iran nuclear deal, turning his back on Israel and aligning himself with a regime that openly calls for the destruction of the Jewish state. His betrayal was so blatant that many accused him of stabbing Israel in the back.

Now, with antisemitism surging on college campuses across the country, Nadler had another chance to do the right thing. Instead, he chose to play politics, accusing Trump of using antisemitism as a “ploy” rather than acknowledging the reality that Columbia has failed its Jewish students. His suggestion that pulling funding is about forcing universities to “align with the MAGA agenda” is not only dishonest but an insult to every Jewish student who has been harassed, threatened, or attacked simply for being Jewish.

Let’s call this what it is: a pattern. Fat Nadler consistently sides with those who put Jewish lives at risk. Whether it’s supporting a deal that empowers Iran, defending antisemitic rhetoric from the left, or shielding universities that allow antisemitism to fester, he has made it clear that Jewish safety is secondary to his political ambitions.

The Trump administration’s decision to revoke funding from Columbia is not an attack on education—it is a necessary measure to hold universities accountable for protecting all their students. If a campus allowed open hostility toward any other minority group, would Nadler be so quick to defend it? Of course not. But when it comes to Jewish students, he suddenly finds excuses.

Fat Jerry Nadler may be Jewish by birth, but his actions show that he has long since abandoned the values of his own people. He is the worst kind of politician—one who sells out his own for the sake of party loyalty. And history will remember him as exactly that.

Rav Nota Schiller, Rosh Yeshiva Of Ohr Sameach, Passes Away At Age 88

The Torah world mourns the passing of Rabbi Nota Schiller, the Rosh Yeshiva of Yeshivas Ohr Sameach and one of the founders of the Teshuva movement 60 years ago, who passed away Friday night at Shaare Tzedek hospital after a short illness.

Rabbi Schiller was born in 1937 and raised in Brooklyn, New York, where he attended the high school division of Yeshiva Rabbi Chaim Berlin, studying under Rabbi Shmuel Yaakov Weinberg. He graduated from Yeshivas Ner Yisroel in Baltimore.

The 1960s and 1970s were a time of searching for meaning by Western-educated, college-age men and women. In 1972, Rabbis Noah Weinberg, Mendel Weinbach, Nota Schiller, and Yaakov Rosenberg founded the Shma Yisrael Yeshiva to teach young Jewish men with little or no background in Jewish studies.

After a few years, Rabbi Weinberg left the yeshiva over a difference in approach and founded Aish HaTorah in 1974, whereas Rav Rosenberg left and founded Machon Shlomo in Har Nof. Shma Yisrael subsequently changed its name to Ohr Somayach, after the commentary on the Mishneh Torah written by Rabbi Meir Simcha of Dvinsk, the Ohr Somayach. Rabbi Schiller succeeded in creating a cadre of Talmidei Chachamim who established Torah homes worldwide. He believed that even in a yeshiva for ba’alei teshuva, the emphasis should be on studying Gemara and led his yeshiva accordingly, educating thousands of students across the world.

Rabbi Schiller was the driving force behind the development of Ohr Somayach International, which has opened yeshivas and learning branches in the United States, Canada, United Kingdom, South Africa, and Australia. He founded the first international Ohr Somayach program in Yonkers, New York in 1977. The program became an independent spin-off in 1979 and relocated to Monsey.

Preparations completed for Gazan migration

 Israel has completed the necessary preparations to enable the migration of Gaza residents, provided countries are found willing to accept them. In recent weeks, a mechanism has been established, under the direction of Defense Minister Israel Katz, designed to create conditions that would allow 2,500 Gazans to leave the Strip daily. Currently, more than 2 million Palestinians reside in the Gaza Strip.

Security sources told Israel Hayom that one country has already expressed interest in accepting construction workers from Gaza, but international controversy surrounding the issue has caused it to freeze its involvement in the matter for the time being.

Migration to destination countries could be carried out via sea, with passage through Israel at the Ashdod port.

An additional route, by air, would be through Ramon Airport in Eilat. It should be noted that this route has been operating for several months for wounded individuals who have left the Strip, and so far approximately 1,500 Gaza residents are known to have left via this route to other countries.

Another departure route is the Rafah crossing. Through this crossing, according to information available to Israel, about 35,000 people have evacuated from the Strip to Egypt since the beginning of the war. In many cases, those leaving continued from Egypt to other destinations around the world.

Israel is interested in allowing as many Gaza residents as possible to leave the Strip. Therefore, the policy is to allow family members of sick and wounded individuals to leave with them to other countries. In the vast majority of cases, those who left Gaza were absorbed into Arab countries, but there are also those who have already migrated to Romania and Italy with the intention of not returning.

"Our interest is to let as many people as possible leave. That's the rationale of the Trump plan that Israel has expressed support for. We are trying to implement it," said a security source.

Meanwhile, the "The Israeli Reservists – Generation of Victory" movement has also published its own framework for the voluntary migration of Gaza residents, based on principles of international law. The plan proposes the removal of 1.7 million Gazans via air, sea, and land routes to various host countries around the world, including Egypt, Libya, Gulf states, and other countries.

The initiative includes full funding for departure from Gaza, temporary housing solutions, and a financial grant for migrants, at an estimated cost of up to $100 billion – less than the cost of rehabilitating the Strip. According to Major (res.) Gilad Ach, chairman of the movement: "We are presenting an orderly plan to remove the ongoing threat to Israeli citizens from the Gaza Strip... A one-time opportunity has now been created to exploit the window of opportunity opened by the current US administration."

The Entire “settler violence” Claim is a Myth!

 Interesting! I have spoken to American Jews, frum American Jews, Chareidie American Jews who believe the Palestinian propaganda that "Jewish Settlers " are perpetrating violence against innocent Palestinian.. this is a lie! 

Once you realize how much you've been lied to about Israel, you should understand that the entire “settler violence” claim is a myth.
