🇬🇧🇺🇸 On advice of His Majesty’s Government, and at the invitation of The President of the United States, The King and Queen will undertake a State Visit to the United States of America. Their Majesties’ programme will celebrate the historic connections and the modern bilateral relationship between the UK and the US, marking the 250th anniversary of American Independence. 🇧🇲 The King will continue to Bermuda to undertake His Majesty’s first Royal Visit as Monarch to a British Overseas Territory.

A man inspired by an Iranian-backed terrorist group targeted a synagogue in Michigan with 140 school children inside. Groups like Hezbollah actively encourage lone-wolf attacks, framing violence as a religious duty and convincing individuals they are carrying out God’s will. This wasn’t just about antisemitism—it was an attack on Americans, on children, and on a place of worship in our own country. We can’t ignore reality, and we should take the Iranian regime at its word when it says “death to America.”

This is going to be another booming area of the Israeli dual use hi tech ecosystem. Great news!

This is a fantastic move. O-H-I-O!! Congrats.

The Israeli military’s top general suspended all operational activities of the reserve battalion involved in my team's detention & assault. The reserve battalion, comprised of hundreds of reservists who served in the ultra-Orthodox Netzah Yehuda battalion, will be immediately withdrawn from the West Bank and reassigned to training until further notice. The sweeping disciplinary action comes about 48 hours after our report first aired. edition.cnn.com/2026/03/29/mid…

I have instructed the relevant authorities that Cardinal Pierbattista Pizzaballa, the Latin Patriarch, be granted full and immediate access to the Church of the Holy Sepulchre in Jerusalem. Over the past several days, Iran has repeatedly targeted the holy sites of all three monotheistic religions in Jerusalem with ballistic missiles. In one strike, missile fragments crashed meters from the Church of the Holy Sepulchre. To protect worshippers, Israel asked members of all faiths to temporarily abstain from worshipping at the Christian, Muslim and Jewish holy sites in Jerusalem’s Old City. Today, out of special concern for his safety, Cardinal Pizzaballa was asked to refrain from holding mass at the Church of the Holy Sepulchre. Even though I understand this concern, as soon as I learned about the incident with Cardinal Pizzaballa, I instructed the authorities to enable the Patriarch to hold services as he wishes.

Working alongside local partners, WCK teams are distributing Passover food kits to families and children who are unable to leave their shelters in northern Israel. These kits are packed with foods like matzah, tuna, and fresh produce to help families observe the holiday with nourishing and traditional meals. #ChefsForMidEast

I just called the Latin Patriarch of Jerusalem, His Beatitude Cardinal Pierbattista Pizzaballa, to express my great sorrow over this morning's unfortunate incident in the Old City of Jerusalem, in which Cardinal Pizzaballa and the Custos of the Holy Land, the Most Reverend Fr. Francesco Ielpo, were prevented from entering the Church of the Holy Sepulchre for prayers amid the ongoing security situation. I clarified that the incident stemmed from security concerns due to the continuous threat of missile attacks from the Iranian terror regime against the civilian population in Israel, following previous incidents in which Iranian missiles fell in the area of the Old City of Jerusalem in recent days. I reaffirmed the State of Israel's unwavering commitment to freedom of religion for all faiths and to upholding the status quo at the holy sites of Jerusalem.

Cardinal Pizzaballa: “It is true that the police had said that the orders from the internal command prevented any kind of gathering in places where there is no shelter, but we had not asked for anything public, just a brief and small private ceremony to preserve the idea of the celebration in the Holy Sepulchre. There were no clashes; everything was done in a very polite manner. I do not want to force the issue; we want to use this situation to try to clarify better in the coming days what to do, in respect for everyone's safety but also in respect for the right to prayer."

Politicians condemn each attack on Jews but do little to fight the ideologies that create the hostility, writes former UK prime minister Tony Blair. Read the full story here: bit.ly/4uQZJC8

I wrote in the @nypost about a simple principle: every New Yorker deserves to feel safe entering their house of worship. Today, the Council will vote on my legislation that protects that right while upholding free speech. We must choose faith over fear.

Stay safe @FrankLaRose. And thank you for your continued service!

Yousef al-Otaiba, UAE Ambassador to the US: “A simple cease-fire isn’t enough. We need a conclusive outcome that addresses Iran’s full range of threats: nuclear capabilities, missiles, drones, terror proxies and blockades of international sea lanes…We want Iran as a normal neighbor. It can be reclusive and even unwelcoming, but it can’t attack its neighbors, blockade international waters, or export extremism.” wsj.com/opinion/the-u-…

Most people in Israel, don’t have a ‘shelter room’ in their house. That means that as the sirens are blaring, they need to run to a public bomb shelter…and pray that they make it in time. The sirens usually give us a 90 second warning before the rocket explodes. A public shelter is usually at least a five minute walk away. That’s why, nearly everyone in Israel who has a shelter in their house, has opened it up to their neighbors. Our neighbors on every side of our home, don’t have a shelter. We do. When the siren blares, the first thing my husband and I do, it has run outside to help our neighbors with babies get into our bomb shelter quickly. Everyone in Israel has been forced to ask this biblical question to themselves: ‘Am I my brother’s keeper?’ And we’ve all answered….’YES’

The police chief who led the response to the attack on a Michigan synagogue this month says in a briefing with Jewish security officials that he has been inundated with threats. The sheriff of the Oakland County police, Michael Bouchard, says he has been subject to some 330,000 hostile messages, including violent statements.

The Iran-linked Islamist group Ashab al-Yamin al-Islamiya has claimed at least five attacks targeting Jewish communities across Europe in just two weeks, part of a growing wave of antisemitic violence.

Seit über einem Jahr verfolge ich diesen Prozess in #Berlin. Die Vorsitzende Richterin stellte heute klar: Der Einstieg in das Verfahren kam durch Hinweise aus dem Ausland – vom israelischen Geheimdienst. Im Video: Oberstaatsanwalt beim Bundesgerichtshof Helmut Grauer zur Bedeutung des Urteils. Ein deutsches Gericht stellt erstmals fest: #Hamas ist eine terroristische Vereinigung nach §§129a/b StGB. Vier Mitglieder der Berliner Hamas-Zelle wurden zu mehrjährigen Haftstrafen verurteilt.
