🚨Turkey, Egypt, and Pakistan have been passing messages between the U.S. and Iran over the past two days in an effort to de-escalate, U.S. source says 🚨Senior officials from the three countries held separate talks with White House envoy Steve Witkoff and Iranian Foreign Minister Abbas Araghchi, the U.S. source says 🚨"The mediation is ongoing and making progress. The discussion is about ending the war and resolving all outstanding issues. We hope to have answers soon," the source says

Seven Jewish individuals were arrested on suspicion of assaulting Palestinians in the village of Khirbet Humsa in the Jordan Valley about ten days ago. Police: “According to suspicions, a number of extremist rioters raided buildings in the village and forced out their occupants, while binding them, assaulting them violently, and even committing indecent acts against one of the victims. Four required medical treatment. In addition, the rioters caused damage at the scene and stole property and a large number of sheep.”




#DEVELOPING: The entire fleet of Golders Green (London) Hatzalah ambulances have been destroyed after being set ablaze in an arson attack. Hatzalah is a jewish volunteer-based emergency medical service that provides rapid response care for all who call.

Five children are still in critical condition at Soruka Hospital as medical teams are fighting for their lives following the Iranian missile attack on Arad last night. 174 civilians were injured. Over 2,500 civilians were evacuated from Dimona and Arad after the attack on their homes. One of the children was thrown out of his apartment window by the blast. Unspeakable cruelty. Yet justified by the same people who told us they care about human rights.

I have serious problems with the term “settler violence.” It is a generalization that demonizes a community of 500,000 people - almost all of them are good, law-abiding citizens. But we cannot let that defense blind us. What has been happening in the West Bank - like the attacks by Jewish extremists in some 20 locations last night - is an abomination. These actions are anti-Jewish, they are the antithesis of what it means to be Israeli, and they must be stopped with the most aggressive steps law enforcement has at its disposal. Beyond the moral rot, this is a strategic liability. Israel is in a war against Iran and we have a rare moment to unite a global coalition from the US to Europe to the Gulf, but that support is undermined when these attacks occur. @netanyahu knows this and for that reason he went to the IDF Central Command on Friday to try and stop the violence in the middle of a war that needs to be his sole focus. What these attackers are doing is not just criminal; it is a threat to our national security. We cannot defeat our enemies abroad while a violent fringe undermines our legitimacy from within.



Joe Rogan thinks PM Netanyahu and Netanyahu’s brother are dead. This is the most popular podcast with the largest audience globally. We are doomed.

BREAKING: To those asking what is burning behind the mountains north of Damavand, east of Tehran: it is an Iranian MODAFL complex where nuclear warheads for intercontinental ballistic missiles were designed, developed, and produced—intended for use against targets such as London. That complex has now been completely destroyed. U.S. Air Force B-1B heavy bombers carried out the strike. #OperationEpicFury #OperationLionsRoar

HORRIFIC night in the West Bank. Israeli settlers are attacking more than nine Palestinian villages and cities now, including Bethlehem, setting cars and homes on fire and attempting to burn families alive.

🚨 “If Iran doesn’t FULLY OPEN, WITHOUT THREAT, the Strait of Hormuz, within 48 HOURS from this exact point in time, the United States of America will hit and obliterate their various POWER PLANTS, STARTING WITH THE BIGGEST ONE FIRST…” - President DONALD J. TRUMP

🚨I tweeted this months ago-now it’s confirmed in the 2026 U.S. Threat Assessment: Al-Shabaab has expanded to Mogadishu’s outskirts and increased attacks within the city, including indirect fire near key sites. • AU: fighters positioned near the city • Open-source: activity inside districts • Mortars within 2–4 km Not territorial control-but clear operational reach into Mogadishu.
