Speaks for itself: Feb. 25, 2026: “We are not developing long-range missiles… we have limited the range below 2,000 kilometers” — Iran’s FM Araghchi (IRNA). March 20, 2026: Iran fires missiles at Diego Garcia—ranging 4,000 kilometers (WSJ). ⬇️

For the first time since the beginning of the campaign in Israel’s northern border, I unveiled at the UN, in coordination with the IDF, a map showing how 213 rockets were launched by Hezbollah from south of the Litani River in just 16 hours, in clear violation of Security Council Resolution 1701. Israel will not stand by while a terrorist organization fires at our community.

🚨 Lebanon’s President proposes ceasefire with Israel Lebanese President Joseph Aoun unveiled a plan that includes: • Immediate halt to Israeli strikes in Lebanon • International support for the Lebanese Army • Lebanese forces deploying into Hezbollah areas • Confiscation of Hezbollah weapons • Direct Israel-Lebanon negotiations under international supervision The proposal was reportedly coordinated with the U.S. and France before being made public. Possible locations for talks: Cyprus, France, or Washington. The key question: Can the Lebanese Army actually disarm Hezbollah? Stay connected, follow @MOSSADil.

In my interview on the @BBC this morning, I was asked about the legality of Israel's actions against the Iranian regime. Listen to my response:

In Greece, Iranians are leaving flowers outside the Israeli embassy 🇮🇷 🇮🇱

Israeli Ambassador to the UN @dannydanon just called out a United Nations official who tweeted a graphic photo showing rows of body bags she claimed was from the recent strikes in Iran. Turns out, Danon says, the photo shows victims of the "Iranian regime itself" and was taken in January.

Four years ago today, Russia invaded Ukraine. We stand with Ukraine and its brave people now and always, until victory and beyond. Slava Ukraini! 🇺🇦

World champion Alysa Liu won an Olympic gold medal in women's individual figure skating on Thursday. This makes Liu the first American woman to take the Olympic podium in this event since 2006. In an interview with 60 Minutes, Liu said Olympic gold isn’t her goal. She wanted to energize the crowd and give fans an experience. “My goal, honestly, is just to hype people up, give them an experience,” Liu said.

Together with the delegation of UN ambassadors, we visited the Auschwitz-Birkenau extermination camp. Here, we understand exactly where hatred leads when the world is silent. Today I am leading the largest delegation of UN ambassadors to ever march in Auschwitz-Birkenau. We will never forget and we will never forgive.

When Bill Clinton tells young people that Yasser Arafat walked away from a Palestinian state with a capital in East Jerusalem, “they can’t believe it … it’s not even on their radar screen. They can’t even imagine that happened.” Be informed. Learn some basic history 🙏

New York City has ordered Easy Aerial, an drone company that works with the IDF, to vacate its Brooklyn Navy Yard offices within 60 days. a deadline the company says is impossible and politically motivated rather than a genuine business consideration. The move follows another recent attempt by the city to block Israeli investor Zohar Levy from purchasing a large portfolio of rent‑stabilized buildings, raising concerns that activist influence inside the administration is targeting Israeli linked businesses despite their economic and strategic value; Easy Aerial primarily serves the U.S. military and clients in 25 countries, while Levy’s purchase would have supported the upkeep of more than 90 buildings and 5,100 apartments.

Much congrats to Elana Meyers Taylor and her family!

Three Jewish women gave birth and kept their babies alive inside a Nazi concentration camp. Marked for death, they overcame unimaginable odds to survive. Eva Clarke says her mother would say, “And in the end, we won,” because their family line goes on. Clarke, now 80, has four grandchildren. cbsn.ws/3ZAiNpY

The New York City municipality is evicting an Israeli drone business for “business considerations.” Needless to say, nobody is buying it. Easy Aerial, a drone manufacturer that works with the IDF, received notice that it will have to leave its New York offices at the Brooklyn Navy Yard municipal complex. They were given 60 days—insufficient time to relocate its 100 employees to another location in the city. The company’s chairman, Shahar Abuhatzira, thinks this isn’t a local decision—“100 percent from the top.” Easy Aerial isn’t the only Israeli company facing the wrong end of “business considerations.” When Israeli investor Zohar Levy attempted to buy a large portfolio of property in the city last month, the municipality unsuccessfully tried to sink the deal on flimsy grounds. Whether it is the hand of Zohran Mamdani or a different radical activist given power in his administration, the principle is the same. Easy Aerial does some business with the IDF, but most of its transactions are with the U.S. Army—mainly the Marine Corps—along with sales in 25 other countries. Levy was attempting to buy and would have had to maintain more than 90 buildings and about 5,100 rent-stabilized apartments. If New York City wants to hurt Israel, they aren’t going to come out of it unscathed. It’s what you might call cutting off your Jewish—I mean Zionist—nose to spite your face.

Terrorists cannot be rewarded for the atrocities committed on Oct 7. We should not spend ONE PENNY rebuilding Gaza until Hamas, Islamic Jihad and others demilitarize, destroy tunnels, production facilities and leave Gaza! jns.org/trump-says-boa…

Three elderly Israeli women, including a Holocaust survivor, were expelled from Madrid’s Reina Sofía museum 🇪🇸. Their “offense”? Wearing Jewish symbols, including a Star of David and an Israeli flag. Staff told them other visitors were “disturbed” by their presence. In 2026, Jews are still being removed from public spaces for being visibly Jewish. Call it what it is.

'SHOCKING IGNORANCE': Rep. Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez alleged at the Munich Security Conference that U.S. aid to the Jewish state enabled a genocide by Israel, sparking intense criticism: "This shocking ignorance and insensitivity by Ocasio-Cortez should rule her out of any potential presidential bid or other high office," Tom Gross, an expert on international affairs said.
