WHEN ARE THE 500 MILLION MIGRATING BIRDS IN ISRAEL IN THE SPRING TIME.(GET READY ISLAM TO BE BIRD SEED FOR THESE BIRDS)
https://www.youtube.com/shorts/m0bXU5Xqc5M
The 500 million migratory birds in Israel during the spring arrive from Africa and head toward Europe and Asia, with the peak migration occurring in March and April. While migration starts in late February, the most intense movements, particularly of birds of prey, storks, and pelicans, occur during the third week of March and continue into April.
Key Details on the Spring Migration
Peak Period: Mid-March through April.
Main Migration Route: The birds use the Great Rift Valley, which includes the Hula Valley and Eilat, acting as a "bottleneck" where millions of birds fly through the narrow land bridge.
Best Spots: The Hula Lake Park (Northern Israel) and the Eilat Birding Center (Southern Israel) are primary locations for observing the migration.
Key Species: Hundreds of thousands of white storks, along with black kites, raptors, and pelicans, pass through over these months.
uration: The spring migration runs from late February and continues into June, though the heaviest traffic is in March/April.
The 500 million migratory birds fly over Israel in the fall between late August and mid-December. The peak migration period for the autumn, when the highest volume of bird traffic occurs, is typically October and November.
Key Fall Migration Details
Location: The Hula Valley (Agamon Hula Park) in northern Israel is the premier spot to witness this phenomenon.
Timing: Migration starts as early as late June with some waders, but intensifies from mid-August through November.
Peak Festival: The "Annual Hula Valley Bird Festival" is usually held in November to align with the peak migration traffic.
Key Species: Many birds of prey (raptors), including honey buzzards and steppe eagles, cross during this time, along with massive flocks of storks and cranes.
While roughly 500 million birds pass through in the autumn on their way to Africa, the same number crosses again in the spring (mid-February to May) on their way back to Europe and Asia.
JEREMEIAH 49:23-27
23 Concerning Damascus.(SYRIA) Hamath is confounded, and Arpad: for they have heard evil tidings: they are fainthearted; there is sorrow on the sea;(WAR SHIPS WITH NUKES COMING ON SYRIA) it cannot be quiet.
24 Damascus is waxed feeble, and turneth herself to flee, and fear hath seized on her: anguish and sorrows have taken her, as a woman in travail.
25 How is the city of praise not left, the city of my joy!
26 Therefore her young men shall fall in her streets, and all the men of war shall be cut off in that day, saith the LORD of hosts.
27 And I will kindle a fire (NUKES OR BOMBS) in the wall of Damascus, and it shall consume the palaces of Benhadad.(ASSADS PALACES POSSIBLY IN DAMASCUS)

2 IRGC members shot dead at home in Iran, in what state media calls ‘terrorism’IRGC outlet says ‘anti-government and separatist’ agents were killed in an operation after attack; separately, state TV accuses ‘Zionist-American mercenaries’ of killing couple in their car By AFP 30 June 2026, 2:03 pm
Attackers shot dead two members of Iran’s Islamic Revolutionary Guard Corps at their home in the western city of Paveh, near the border with Iraq’s Kurdistan region, state media reported Tuesday.It was not immediately clear who was behind the shooting. But Tehran has frequently blamed Kurdish separatist groups in the area for previous violence, accusing them of links to the United States and Israel.The two IRGC members were killed in “a terrorist and cowardly act,” state television said, while two other Guards members were wounded.State television said that “exact details of this incident and the measures being taken to identify those responsible are under review.”Sepah news, the official media outlet of the Guards, later said the IRGC had dismantled a team working for “anti-government and separatist groups” that had entered Iran from the northwestern border.The report included blurred photos showing four bodies of people allegedly killed in the operation.Separately, “a family’s vehicle was sprayed with bullets” on Monday in the southeastern town of Saravan in Sistan-Baluchistan province, killing the father and wounding the mother, state television reported.The woman later died of her injuries.Authorities did not immediately identify those responsible or provide further details about the victims. But state television said the attack “was carried out by Zionist-American mercenaries,” a term Iranian officials commonly use for separatist and militant groups.Sistan-Baluchistan, which borders Pakistan and Afghanistan, has long seen clashes between security forces, insurgents and drug smugglers.One of Iran’s poorest provinces, it is home to a sizable ethnic Baloch population, most of whom are Sunni Muslims in a Shiite-majority nation.
Iranian FM: If Trump’s Tel Aviv ‘pets’ aren’t controlled, ‘Iran will school them’As US and Iranian officials set to hold indirect talks in Doha, senior Iranian sources say Tehran determined to keep control over Strait of Hormuz, even if it requires force By Nava Freiberg,Agencies and ToI Staff 1 July 2026, 4:46 pm
Iranian Foreign Minister Abbas Araghchi warned Wednesday that the US-Iran memorandum of understanding obligates the US to “muzzle its pets in Tel Aviv” and prevent Israel from militarily threatening Iran, in response to remarks by Defense Minister Israel Katz.“The terms of the Islamabad MoU are crystal clear and public for all to see. POTUS has committed the US to muzzling its pets in Tel Aviv,” Araghchi warned in a post on X.“If they ignore their master, Iran will school them. Any threat against our People and Leadership will receive Immediate Powerful Response,” the top Iranian envoy wrote.The comments came in response to remarks Katz made in a briefing with Israeli military reporters on Monday, in which he warned that Iran’s Supreme Leader Mojtaba Khamenei was “marked for death,” and that while Tehran was attempting to “extract concessions” in its talks with Washington, Israel “will not allow Iran to develop nuclear weapons. If an agreement achieves that, all the better.”While the MOU declared that the US, Iran, “and their allies” would cease hostilities “on all fronts,” Israeli officials have stressed that Jerusalem is not a signatory to the agreement and have vowed to continue to prevent Iran from obtaining a nuclear weapon, even as Washington stresses its pursuit of a “regional ceasefire” and its preference for a diplomatic solution to the conflict.Meanwhile, as the US and Iran were set to hold a new round of indirect talks in Doha, two Iranian sources said Tehran was determined to win international recognition of its control over the Strait of Hormuz and ability to levy fees on ships entering or leaving the Gulf even if it has to do so by force.Under the interim deal agreed with the US earlier this month, Iran agreed to let ships pass through the Strait for 60 days without charge. But it believes the wording of the agreement allows it to keep control of which ships may pass and which route they take through the narrow waterway, the sources said.It is also determined to secure lasting formal acceptance of this control once the interim phase expires, and its negotiators will not move on to other areas of dispute in ongoing talks with Washington until that has been agreed, the sources said.If the interim deal ends without being extended, Iran could start charging ships for passage in mid-August, though it has not yet laid out any list of what fees it will charge or how.Any lasting Iranian control over the Strait of Hormuz, with formalities and fees for ships, would add costs, delays and risks to all shipping through a waterway that before the war transported a fifth of global energy supplies plus other critical goods.Passage through the Strait was never previously subject to fees, and Tehran’s position runs directly counter to US interpretations of the interim memorandum of understanding agreed to on June 17, and to Washington’s stance on what the ultimate postwar arrangements will be.US President Donald Trump said last week that there would be no tolls charged for passage through the Strait unless Washington decided to impose them itself. US Secretary of State Marco Rubio said during a meeting with Gulf states that no country had the right to block shipping or impose fees or tolls for passage through an international waterway.Iran is ready to impose its demands on the Strait through force if other countries do not accept its terms, the Iranian official added, saying Tehran would not back down even if it led to renewed — and intensified — confrontation with the US.The second senior Iranian official said that having survived what Tehran had seen as its biggest potential threat — a war with the US and Israel — Iran believed it had a “historic opportunity” to secure a long-term advantage.Ship-owning countries would eventually accept Iranian management of the Strait because of the growing cost of the dispute, and Washington would accept it to ensure uninterrupted global energy supplies, the official added.The comments came as Iran and the United States were to hold further indirect talks with mediators in Doha on Wednesday in a push to advance negotiations and quell tensions following exchanges of fire between the two sides.The sides would take part in “indirect technical talks on Wednesday in Doha with Qatari and Pakistani mediators,” a diplomat with knowledge of the talks told AFP on condition of anonymity.The discussions, being held at a lower level and focused on the details of the MOU, will “build on the progress made at the Lake Lucerne summit,” the diplomat added.An Iranian official told Reuters that the talks in fact began Tuesday night, and a source with knowledge of the discussions said they were structured as sessions between chief negotiators and specialists.The MOU, which has been tested by recent exchanges of fire between the sides, includes a 60-day ceasefire pausing the war that broke out with US-Israeli strikes targeting the Iranian regime in late February, as well as the reopening of the Strait of Hormuz and a timeframe for a final deal to permanently end the conflict and reach an agreement on Iran’s nuclear program. The Wall Street Journal reported Wednesday that Trump has told aides that he believes that deadline to be moveable.Israel had no part in negotiating the memorandum of understanding, and Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu has distanced himself from it. Still, the terms of the opening clause, permanently ending the war and ruling out any resumption, assert that it is binding on the US, Iran “and their allies.” Israeli officials are bitterly opposed to the deal’s terms, which resolve none of the war’s key goals — notably, eliminating Iran’s nuclear and ballistic missile programs and creating the conditions for the collapse of the regime.
Netanyahu claims he saved Israel from destruction as Iran ‘already obtained’ atomic bomb-Source says claim made to right-wing Channel 14 is ‘complete lie’; election rivals Eisenkot, Bennett both pillory PM for fear-mongering, peddling falsehoods By ToI Staff 1 July 2026, 11:41 pm
Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu, in an interview Tuesday night, claimed that he saved Israel from an Iranian nuclear bomb that they “already had obtained,” a claim that his election rivals dismissed as a falsehood told to scare the Israeli public.The statement, which Netanyahu made during his appearance on the right-wing Channel 14, was the first time that the premier had ever claimed that Iran had already obtained a nuclear weapon. He has long boasted of advancing policies that prevent Iran from obtaining a nuclear weapon.He did not elaborate on his claim in the interview and was not pressed to explain the statement.Netanyahu apparently either got carried away in highlighting the threat from Iran and his steps against the regime or simply misspoke, given that a source familiar with the matter told Haaretz that Netanyahu’s claim is a “complete lie.”No previous US or Israeli intelligence assessments have previously accused Iran of already building nuclear weapons.Instead, Iran has been accused of enriching uranium to levels with no peaceful use and of seeking the technology that would allow it to break out and develop a bomb in a very short time.Speaking on Wednesday, Yashar party chief Gadi Eisenkot and former prime minister Naftali Bennett both denounced the claim as outlandish.At the Herzliya Conference, Eisenkot, a former IDF chief of staff and a member of the war cabinet, insisted, “Iran never obtained nuclear weapons. I’m well aware of all the intelligence.”“Netanyahu is inventing a reality, making up threats, and that’s his way to scare the Israeli public,” he said.Also, speaking at the conference, former prime minister Naftali Bennett called the statement “a lie,” accusing Netanyahu of trying to rewrite history.Bennett vowed that under his leadership, following the next election, “the strategic goal of the State of Israel will be the overthrow of the Iranian regime — before Iran acquires a nuclear weapon.”“To achieve this, bombs are not enough,” he said. “We will initiate a comprehensive campaign that will deepen the weaknesses of the Iranian economy. We will develop cyber systems that will disrupt the regime’s ability to oppress its own citizens.”Iran, which vows to destroy Israel, has consistently denied seeking to acquire an atomic bomb, while remaining adamant about its right to operate a full-scale civilian nuclear program.Before the 12-day war in 2025, Iran, as a signatory to the nuclear non-proliferation treaty — unlike Israel, which is widely assumed to have atomic weapons — allowed the International Atomic Energy Agency (IAEA) to inspect its nuclear sites under its safeguards deal with the Vienna-based body.The IAEA estimates Iran had 440.9 kg of uranium enriched to up to 60 percent before the conflict began, now believed to be buried in bomb-battered underground nuclear facilities. That is close to the 90% needed to make a bomb, has no civilian application, and would be enough for 10 nuclear weapons, according to an IAEA yardstick.
US, Iran wrap up indirect Doha talks as Trump touts progress towards ‘denuclearization’Tehran says sides agreed on partial release of frozen funds, US officials deny it; Washington reportedly pushing Iran to look at ‘bigger picture,’ not insist on Hormuz control By Jacob Magid,Agencies and ToI Staff 1 July 2026, 10:34 pmUpdated: Today, 6:32 am
The US and Iran held indirect technical talks in Doha on Wednesday, which US President Donald Trump described as “very good,” as American and Iranian officials said that the participants agreed to open a communication channel to ensure the terms of their memorandum of understanding are met, amid continued disagreements over its implementation.According to Iran, the sides agreed on a partial release of billions of dollars of frozen Iranian funds, though US officials reportedly denied that such an understanding was reached.The effort came two weeks after the US and Iran signed the MOU, which gave them 60 days to negotiate a final deal covering Iran’s nuclear program. But talks on that final deal haven’t really begun yet, largely due to disputes over the Strait of Hormuz and Israel’s war with Hezbollah in Lebanon.The indirect talks, mediated by Qatar and Pakistan, began on Tuesday night and continued Wednesday, an Iranian official said.“They’ve had very good meetings, and we’ll see,” Trump told reporters before boarding the new, Qatari-gifted Air Force One. “The denuclearization of Iran is moving along well.”While Trump’s son-in-law Jared Kushner and envoy Steve Witkoff were in Doha, they did not attend the technical meetings, according to a source with direct knowledge of the talks, who added that the meetings were structured as sessions between chief negotiators and specialists. The two top US envoys instead met with the Qatari prime minister to lay the groundwork for the meetings, the source added.US negotiators were reportedly seeking to convince their Iranian counterparts at the ongoing indirect technical talks in Doha to forgo plans to charge tolls in the Strait of Hormuz, arguing that Tehran would be able to make more money by following through with nuclear concessions than it would be able to generate from such fees.Qatar foreign ministry spokesperson Majed al-Ansari said late Wednesday that “positive progress [was] made on issues related to the Islamabad Memorandum of Understanding, building on the outcomes of the Lake Lucerne Summit,” referring to a summit held by negotiators in Switzerland.“The parties agreed to continue discussions over the coming period, with the next meeting to be scheduled at the earliest possible time, following the funeral processions of the former Iranian supreme leader,” the Qatari spokesperson added.Funeral ceremonies for Ali Khamenei, who was killed in an Israeli strike on the opening day of the recent Iran war, are set to begin on Saturday and last for several days, concluding with an official burial at his hometown of Mashhad on July 9.According to two senior Iranian sources, Iran is determined to win international recognition of its control over the waterway and ability to levy fees on ships entering or leaving the Gulf, even if it has to do so by force.Under this month’s interim deal with the US to end their three-month conflict, Iran agreed to let ships pass through the Strait for 60 days without charge. But it believes the wording of the agreement allows it to keep control of which ships may pass and which route they take through the narrow waterway. Iran is ready to impose its demands on the Strait through force if there is no agreement by other countries to accept its terms, the officials added, saying Tehran would not back down even if it led to renewed — and intensified — confrontation with the US.In response to Iran’s efforts to charge tolls in Hormuz after the 60-day period expires, “the US message to Iran was ‘Think bigger,'” a US official told the Axios news site, claiming the sums Iran could generate from developing and selling oil after the US lifts sanctions under the deal “would be 100 times more valuable to them than using a gangster tactic to try and charge a toll.”“We are pushing them to think bigger about their potential in the context of a broader nuclear and regional non-intervention deal,” the US official said.“We have reached an understanding that we will keep things quiet for the coming week, so progress on all aspects of the MOU can be worked on in a productive environment, without missiles flying,” the official said. “The President has been clear that every time they shoot, we will shoot more — and at targets that further degrade their position in the Strait.”After the talks ended Wednesday, Iranian Deputy Foreign Minister Kazem Gharibabadi also said that “a communication channel would be established by tomorrow” to report and record violations of the memorandum, according to quotes published by the IRNA state news agency.Gharibabadi also said that the sides agreed that part of the $6 billion in frozen funds would be released to allow Tehran to purchase goods based on its needs.The Saudi Al Arabiya news site reported that during Wednesday’s technical talks in Doha, the sides reached an understanding regarding the release of the first batch, $3 billion of frozen Iranian funds held by Qatar, at least some of which will come from the US market. US officials had previously claimed that all of the money would go toward buying American products.However, US officials speaking to the outlet denied that such an agreement had been reached on the release of the Iranian funds.Vance: US won’t attack ‘just for the sake of dropping bombs’Touting Washington’s position in the talks, US Vice President JD Vance told troops while visiting a naval air base in Virginia on Wednesday that Trump is now “negotiating from a position of strength because of you.”“If the Iranians try to rebuild the nuclear program, the President’s got options. If the Iranians try to threaten their neighbors or fund terrorism, we’ve got options,” he said.“But what we must never do is drop bombs just for the sake of dropping bombs. And that is what the president will never ask you to do,” Vance continued.“He’ll ask you to go to war, yes. But when he asks you to go to war, he’ll tell you exactly what you’re going for. And I think that is what you should expect out of your political leadership,” the vice president said.“What I noticed about the people who are attacking the administration for negotiating is that they are the very same people who, for example, encouraged us to just go a little bit further and just drop a few more bombs in places like Afghanistan. If you go back to the mistakes that were made, those very same people refused to say what we were dropping bombs for,” he continued.Despite Vance’s assertions, the Trump administration has come under fire for what critics say have been unclear goals in the Iran war. The administration has asserted that it launched the war primarily to prevent Iran from obtaining a nuclear weapon, even though the president has also claimed to have completely destroyed Iran’s nuclear program in strikes a year ago.Israel had no part in negotiating the memorandum of understanding, and Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu has distanced himself from it. Still, the terms of the opening clause, permanently ending the war and ruling out any resumption, assert that it is binding on the US, Iran “and their allies.”Israeli officials are bitterly opposed to the deal’s terms, which resolve none of the war’s key goals — notably, eliminating Iran’s nuclear and ballistic missile programs and creating the conditions for the collapse of the regime.
Trump said to tell aides deadline for deal is moveable-Trump weighed return to full war against Iran, but prefers diplomatic efforts – report-White House official says deconfliction channel including IRGC, US military has been used by both sides; Tehran’s chief negotiator: Iran prioritizes diplomacy but is ready for war By ToI Staff and Agencies 1 July 2026, 8:59 am
US President Donald Trump has in recent days considered options for a return to full-scale war in Iran, but decided to instead focus on diplomatic efforts, the Wall Street Journal reported.Trump has additionally told aides that it would not be a problem if a nuclear deal is not reached by the 60-day deadline on August 18, the newspaper said.According to the late Tuesday report, which cited US officials, Trump held talks in the past few days with Defense Secretary Pete Hegseth and Chair of the Joint Chiefs of Staff Gen. Dan Caine on whether the US should quit negotiations for a deal and instead carry out strikes.Unnamed individuals described fresh attacks on the Iranian regime to the Journal as potentially “finishing the job.”However, the US president reportedly appears disinclined to take military action beyond occasional strikes in response to Iranian violations of the understandings between the sides, as he fears a renewed military conflict could harm the prospects of an eventual diplomatic solution and the dismantling of the Islamic Republic’s nuclear program.The Journal suggested that the discussions on a potential return to war signaled that Trump was becoming frustrated with the deadlock in the talks, but said that the president indicated a willingness to let the negotiations extend past the 60-day deadline on August 18.Additionally, an unnamed White House official told the outlet that the deconfliction channel Washington and Tehran agreed to set up, which includes representatives from Iran’s Islamic Revolutionary Guard Corps and the US Army’s Central Command, has already been used by both sides.The US has designated the IRGC as a Foreign Terrorist Organization.The distance between the sides came into sharp relief on Tuesday when top US envoys Steve Witkoff and Jared Kushner were in Doha for meetings with Qatari mediators to discuss negotiations with Iran, but Qatar and Iran said there would be no high-level meeting between Washington and Tehran, contradicting a Monday claim by Trump.Meanwhile, Iran’s chief negotiator Mohammad Bagher Ghalibaf said Tuesday that Iran was prioritizing diplomacy with the United States, but remained ready for war.“We are pursuing dialogue, but if the dialogue is not implemented, we are also prepared for war and will respond accordingly,” he said in an interview on Iranian state television.Ghalibaf said that while Iran was unable to export any oil during the US blockade on its ports, exports have since surged.“From the day the blockade was lifted until today, we have exported more than 40 million barrels of oil,” he said. “By contrast, during the previous 50 to nearly 60 days, we were genuinely unable to export even a single barrel of oil.”“The sovereignty of the Strait of Hormuz lies with Iran and Oman, and traffic in the strait is subject to arrangements determined by Iran,” he said.US Vice President JD Vance also discussed the key waterway in an interview released Tuesday, claiming that Iran would be prevented from levying tolls on ships passing through it.“This is not going to end in a place where the Iranians are collecting tolls on ships going through the Strait of Hormuz,” Vance said.The developments indicated the two sides are far apart on key pillars of the initial framework, which calls for Iran to lift its chokehold on the Strait of Hormuz in exchange for financial incentives, and sets up 60 days of negotiations to work out a permanent deal.Iranian officials say they have a right to manage traffic on the waterway along with US ally Oman, which lies on the other side of the strategic waterway, and will impose tolls in mid-August when the 60-day period expires.The June 17 interim accord between the United States and Iran has been tested by recent exchanges of fire between the sides. The 14-point pact allowed 60 days for the two sides to negotiate a permanent truce in the conflict that began with US and Israeli strikes on Iran on February 28 and to resolve thorny issues including the future of Iran’s nuclear program.Israel had no part in negotiating the memorandum of understanding, and Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu has distanced himself from it. Still, the terms of the opening clause, permanently ending the war and ruling out any resumption, assert that it is binding on the US, Iran “and their allies.” Israeli officials are bitterly opposed to the deal’s terms, which resolve none of the war’s key goals — notably, eliminating Iran’s nuclear and ballistic missile programs and creating the conditions for the collapse of the regime.
PM avoids ruling out Gaza settlements as he has in the past-Netanyahu: The pursuit of ‘total victory’ against Iran and its proxies ‘never ends’In first Hebrew media interview of election campaign, PM says full unity not possible but that he seeks to form broad gov’t after election that will include far-right, Haredi parties and continue judicial overhaul By Nava Freiberg and ToI Staff 1 July 2026, 3:31 am
Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu asserted on Tuesday that his pursuit of “total victory” against Iran and its proxies “never ends,” as he touted what he said have been Israel’s military gains over the past three years, while insisting that there was more work left to do.In a rare TV Hebrew media interview — albeit on his Channel 14 mouthpiece network — Netanyahu was asked whether his Gaza war pledge to achieve “total victory” is still in force.“It never ends. Do you want to live in the Middle East or in the world? You have to be very strong. And we are very strong. Israel is stronger than it has ever been, and we have put off threats and weakened (our adversaries) considerably. We have more work to do. We will take care of what is left of the Iranian axis,” Netanyahu said to applause from the supportive audience.The premier touted Israel’s killing of much of the leadership of Hamas, Hezbollah and Iran as well as the buffer zones Israel has established in Gaza, Lebanon and Syria, even as he appeared to acknowledge that the results of the Iran war fell short of the more definitive war aims he initially set to destroy Iran’s nuclear and missile programs and to help spark regime change.Netanyahu has previously argued that Israel will have to forever live by the sword in a world full of adversaries bent on its destruction, but the approach has exposed him to criticism from political opponents who have accused him of extending wars in Gaza and elsewhere in the region in order to remain in power, given that his far-right coalition partners have threatened to collapse his government if he adopted more conciliatory policies.Leaders abroad have argued Netanyahu’s hardline approach — particularly since Hamas’s October 7 onslaught — has not effectively addressed the threats Israel faces and has harmed opportunities for regional integration.Netanyahu: Let me tell you something: The war is never over. Advertisement Do you want to live? In the Middle East, and in the world, you must be very strong. We are very strong. Israel is stronger than ever. pic.twitter.com/VsSAtWxrzG — Clash Report (@clashreport) June 30, 2026“You can’t just kill your way out of solving every single national security problem that you have,” US Vice President JD Vance said in June, as he voiced frustration with Israel’s policies in Lebanon and with the criticism voiced by far-right members of Netanyahu’s government regarding Washington’s deal to end the war with Iran.Saudi officials have also repeatedly made clear that they have no interest in normalizing relations with Israel absent Jerusalem agreeing to establish an irreversible pathway toward the establishment of a Palestinian state.But Netanyahu was unfazed on Tuesday, insisting that additional peace deals between Israel and its neighbors are still possible, even as he made opposition to a Palestinian state a condition for parties joining the “broad national government” he said he is seeking to form after the fall election.Asked to specify which countries he expects to reach peace agreements with, and whether they include Saudi Arabia, Netanyahu declined to name them but insisted several countries are in contention, including Lebanon: “I’m not naming names because I want to deliver results. But everyone will see them… There are understandings with Lebanon that nobody foresaw. There are contacts with other countries as well. I can’t elaborate.”“When you’re strong, people form alliances with you, and they make peace with you as well,” he said.Asked if there will be a third confrontation with Iran after wars in June 2025 and earlier this year, Netanyahu replied: “If necessary,” repeating his vow that, “as long as I am prime minister, Iran will not have nuclear weapons.”On Gaza, he was asked whether past proposals for the “voluntary emigration” of Gazans remain under consideration after being roundly rejected by much of the international community, which accused backers of the idea of trying to ethnically cleanse Gaza of its Palestinians. Netanyahu declined to elaborate, saying: “I prefer to talk less and do more.”He was similarly noncommittal when asked about the prospect of renewed Israeli settlement in Gaza, saying only that “sometimes it’s advisable to separate” actions from public statements, and that “therefore, I have nothing further to add on that matter.” In the past, he has ruled out Gaza settlements, but appears to be adapting his public stance as elections approach.Netanyahu said Israel achieved two of three Gaza war aims: returning the hostages and eliminating Hamas as a military threat.“The first objective, of course, was to bring back all of our hostages. And we achieved that,” he says, without noting that some hostages were killed in captivity or died before being recovered.“The second objective was to dismantle Hamas and ensure that Gaza would no longer pose a military threat to Israel. And at the moment, it doesn’t,” he added, pointing out that there was no military response from Hamas after the recent assassination of its top official, Izz al-Din al-Haddad. However, an unsourced Israel TV report this week said the IDF is concerned that Hamas’s military wing is preparing for renewed war with Israel.“We are in control. We are squeezing them. We also had a third objective, and that objective has not yet been achieved: eliminating their civilian rule. We will get there. There is still work to do. But there are constant operations targeting those who participated in October 7,” he said, adding that “we will find” anyone who remains who planned or participated in the attack.Netanyahu was also asked about growing concern in Jerusalem over an allegedly expanded Egyptian military footprint in the Sinai Peninsula, which Jerusalem is said to claim violates the demilitarization clauses of their 1979 peace treaty with Cairo.“I have held discussions with the Egyptians, and I told them what I expect to be done. Part of it is already being carried out. These are matters that simply involve upholding the agreements between us,” he said, without elaborating.“I think we need to safeguard our borders. But we must understand: as one power declines, another power rises. That is always the way things work. And the power that must continue rising — and to rise faster — is the State of Israel,” Netanyahu said.Haredim, far-right will be part of government I form; judicial overhaul will resume-On Saturday, Netanyahu issued his first call of the election season for the formation of a broad national government, after establishing what has widely been considered the most right-wing government in Israel’s history following the previous election in 2022.The stance was voiced following months of polls that showed Netanyahu’s narrow bloc of right-wing and Orthodox parties falling well below the 61-seat majority needed to form a government.But in his Tuesday interview, Netanyahu elaborated on the type of unity government he wants to form next, insisting that it would still include the far-right and ultra-Orthodox parties that make up his current government.“I want a broad national government… We are facing major challenges and major opportunities. In a situation like this, you want the broadest possible consensus you can achieve. That doesn’t mean unity, because you won’t achieve complete unity. Not the entire country will line up behind you. But you can broaden the base,” the premier said, in response to a panelist asking why he would consider allowing political opponents to join his coalition.“The government I intend to form will be based on clear principles. Whoever accepts those principles can join,” he said, outlining them as: “Israel is the nation-state of the Jewish people; there will not be a Palestinian state here; we have a proactive security policy — we do not wait, and we do not hide behind closed doors.”He added that “we will also continue judicial reforms,” an issue that sparked deep divisions in Israeli society before the war in Gaza, though he did not specify what elements of the contentious overhaul he intends to pursue.Netanyahu on Channel 14: I want a broad national government because we face great challenges and great opportunities. This is not unity because unity will not be achieved. pic.twitter.com/e8Sibi9YEc — World Source News (@Worldsource24) June 30, 2026-Netanyahu rejected suggestions that his latest “broad national government” pitch is merely an election stunt, noting that he invited opposition parties to join an emergency wartime government after Hamas’s October 7, 2023, attack.“I was very pleased” that Benny Gantz and rising election rival Gadi Eisenkot joined, he said, before accusing Eisenkot of eventually persuading Gantz to exit the government along with him. “I was sorry that Eisenkot persuaded [Gantz] to leave. But I wanted (them to join), because when you are facing major challenges and major opportunities, you broaden your base and lean on a wider foundation.”In his resignation letter from the wartime government, Eisenkot harshly criticized how the war cabinet handled itself, saying, “Outside considerations and politics infiltrated the discussions.”I am taking the national camp, and I want to expand it — just as I did at the beginning of the war, and as I did on other occasions-Asked whether a broader coalition would come at the expense of his current governing bloc – including the ultra-Orthodox parties and far-right ministers Itamar Ben Gvir and Bezalel Smotrich — Netanyahu rejected the idea completely.“That’s not the question at all. I am taking the national camp, and I want to expand it — just as I did at the beginning of the war, and as I did on other occasions. We have major national missions ahead of us. And I think it is possible to reach much broader agreement than you think.”He insisted that the Israeli public is far less divided than the political system: “I think that what exists in the Knesset, what exists in politics, includes people who want division. They want incitement. They want discord. They want fragmentation.”Even though he argued that political boycotts should end, Netanyahu still portrayed the election set for October as a choice between his leadership and a left-wing alternative: “The choice is a broad national government under my leadership, or a narrow left-wing government led by Eisenkot, together with Yair Lapid, Yair Golan, who will be dependent on the Arab parties. They don’t have another option… There is no other option.”Asked specifically whether he would like to see figures such as Eisenkot, Naftali Bennett, Avigdor Liberman or Golan join such a coalition, Netanyahu replied: “Anyone who accepts our principles,” apparently indicating openness to all of the lawmakers on the aforementioned list.“I am against boycotts. We have spent ten years dealing with boycotts — over judicial matters and over a fictitious political witch hunt,” he said, referring to his ongoing corruption trial.Most opposition Zionist parties have insisted that they will not sit in a government under Netanyahu, arguing that he should have resigned over the October 7 failures and/or that he has allowed his tenuous legal situation to influence the decisions he makes as premier.

Israel, US sign land agreement for permanent American embassy complex in Jerusalem-At signing ceremony, Huckabee says ‘God made decision 3,800 years ago’ to recognize Jerusalem, US now acknowledging it; Sa’ar: US is ‘indispensable and irreplaceable’ to Israel By Nava Freiberg and AFP Today, 3:40 am-JUL 2,26
Israel and the United States signed an agreement on Wednesday to allocate land at the Allenby Complex for the construction of a permanent US Embassy compound in Jerusalem.Foreign Minister Gideon Sa’ar, US Ambassador to Israel Mike Huckabee, and Jerusalem Mayor Moshe Lion attended the formal signing ceremony at the Foreign Ministry.Washington currently operates its embassy at the former US Consulate building in Jerusalem, which was redesignated as the embassy after US President Donald Trump recognized Jerusalem as Israel’s capital during his first term in 2017 and relocated the embassy from Tel Aviv in 2018.“Today is another historic day for the US-Israel relationship as the US receives the property that will be the future home of the new US Embassy complex — deepening and expanding our presence in Jerusalem — the eternal capital of Israel,” Huckabee said in a statement shared by the Foreign Ministry.Speaking at the ceremony, the US ambassador said Washington “recognizes Jerusalem as the eternal, indigenous and forever capital of the Jewish people.”“We are going to plant our flag, our American flag, on the soil of Jerusalem for a permanent and a brand new embassy compound that will serve as our mothership of diplomatic activities here in Israel,” Huckabee added. “I would say God made that decision 3,800 years ago, and we finally got around to acknowledging what had been determined long before the United States of America came along.”Attendees at a signing ceremony for an agreement establishing the future permanent campus of the United States Embassy in Jerusalem, at the Foreign Ministry in Jerusalem, July 1, 2026. (Chaim Goldberg/Flash90)-In his own remarks, Sa’ar said the agreement marks “another milestone in the unbreakable alliance between Israel and the United States,” calling Israel Washington’s “most important strategic asset in the Middle East.”Trump’s “historic decision in 2017 to move the embassy to Jerusalem set the record straight,” Sa’ar said. “And today, with the agreement to begin building a permanent embassy complex, that decision becomes even deeper and more enduring.”“Just as the United States is indispensable and irreplaceable to Israel, Israel is indispensable to the United States and to its interests throughout this region,” the foreign minister added.The plan to build a permanent embassy structure in Jerusalem was approved in 2019, and in 2021, Jerusalem municipal authorities approved the proposal to construct the building on the so-called Allenby compound bordered by Hebron Road in southern Jerusalem.Currently in an abandoned state, the plot has a rich history. During the British Mandate period, it housed the so-called Allenby Barracks, named after the UK’s General Edmund Allenby, who operated an army base there. Later, the State of Israel maintained a border police station there.Times of Israel staff contributed to this report.

Have fun in hell’: IDF kills Islamic Jihad man who held Rom Braslavski hostage, abused him-Talel Abd al-Aal is one of three senior terror operatives confirmed killed by the IDF in the past week, along with another top PIJ commander and a Hamas arms smuggler By Emanuel Fabian,Nurit Yohanan and ToI Staff 30 June 2026, 7:48 pm
Freed hostage Rom Braslavski on Tuesday rejoiced at the news that the Islamic Jihad terrorist who held and abused him in captivity had been killed in a recent strike by the Israel Defense forces, telling him to “Have fun in hell.”The Israel Defense Forces announced on Tuesday the killing of three senior terror operatives, including figures closely involved in the October 7, 2023 attack on Israel, one of whom subsequently held Israeli captives whom terrorists kidnapped during the rampage.Among them was Talel Abd al-Aal, who held several roles in the Palestinian Islamic Jihad terror group, and was killed in a strike in southern Gaza on Sunday, according to a a joint statement from the IDF and Shin Bet.“Al-Aal commanded a cell of terrorists that invaded Israel and took part in the October 7 massacre,” the military said, adding that during the subsequent war he held hostages who were in PIJ’s captivity.The IDF in recent months has been ramping up strikes on terror operatives in Gaza, including several October 7 terrorists, saying they posed a threat to Israeli forces.Braslavski, sharing a video of him being informed of his captor’s killing, described how he burst into tears after receiving the news that “changed my life.”pic.twitter.com/4wrjnegETk — Rom Braslavski (@RomBraslavski) June 30, 2026“This is Talal Abd al-Aal. Or as I know him — Abu Yusuf. This is the man who weighed 100 kilograms and jumped on my neck while I was malnourished,” he wrote.“This is the man who forced me, while my hands and feet were tied and my body was covered in bruises, very close to death, to open my mouth and spat into it,” Braslavski continued.“This is the commander who was in charge of me and led the terrorist cell that held me captive for an entire year. This is the commander who gave the order: Tie up Abu Salem (me) and abuse him,” the post went on.“This is the man who, under his orders and with his own hands, abused me and almost killed me several times. This is him.”In conclusion, Braslavski wrote: “Remember when you told me to pass a message to the Shin Bet? That you gave a middle finger to the drones and that you weren’t afraid of them? The message has been delivered. Have fun in hell, you son of a ****.”Ram Braslavski, in a still from a propaganda video published by Islamic Jihad on July 31, 2025 and cleared for publication by his mother on August 1, 2025.Braslavski, who was freed in October after two years of captivity in Gaza, was kidnapped on October 7, 2023, while working as a security guard at the Nova music festival near Re’im. Over 370 people were killed when terrorists stormed the festival and carried out acts of brutality and sexual assault, and dozens were taken hostage.Braslavski revealed in November that the Palestinian Islamic Jihad terrorists who held him captive in Gaza repeatedly sexually assaulted and tortured him.IDF strikes kill PIJ Oct. 7 invader, Hamas arms smuggler-Separately, the military announced that a strike on Monday killed Ali Qaid Mohammed Stitan, identified by the IDF as a platoon commander in Islamic Jihad’s elite forces, who participated in the 2023 terror rampage.“Ali Qaid infiltrated Israeli territory during the October 7 massacre,” the IDF said, adding that during the war and recently, he attempted to advance attacks on troops and Israeli civilians.“The terrorist posed a threat to our troops operating in the Gaza Strip and was eliminated in a precise aerial strike,” the military added.And, later, the IDF and Shin Bet announced they had killed the commander of the Yabna Battalion in Hamas’s Rafah Brigade, in a strike on Monday.Mohammad Fathi Abd al-Hay Abu Fakher had recently been working to recruit new terrorists to the battalion, along with “attempting to restore the battalion’s capabilities in order to attack IDF troops,” the military said.Abu Fakher was a veteran commander in Hamas, previously serving as a senior officer in the terror group’s supply department. The military said that for two decades he was “a central figure in the terrorist organization’s smuggling network,” leading efforts to bring weapons into the Gaza Strip.Israeli envoy spotlights ‘journalists’ revealed to be fighters-At a United Nations Security Council meeting on Tuesday, Israel’s UN Ambassador Danny Danon presented a mock-quiz called “Journalist or terrorist?”, after Palestinian terror groups’ recent obituaries for a number of supposed journalists killed in the Gaza war identified them as fighters.“Israel is condemned again and again and again,” Danon told the council. “A claim is made against Israel. The UN repeats it and then the world condemns it. Then when the truth comes out — it takes time, sometimes weeks, months, years — no apology, no correction, no retraction. They move on. We will not move on.”Danon held up several photos of ostensible members of the press killed in Gaza, before flipping them to reveal their role as combatants.“The same propaganda campaign was repeated here by New York City’s mayor. Mr. [Zohran] Mamdani stood before a crowd… He said Israel killed an Al Jazeera journalist, Ahmed Wishah,” Danon said.“Mr. Mamdani, we have the video, we have the evidence. This is Ahmed Wishah, the one that you condemned us for eliminating,” he said, flipping the photo to show Wishah sporting a jihadist headband and a rifle. “A Hamas terrorist, a sniper in Hamas’s military wing.”The envoy went on: “This is the machine. Hamas makes a claim, the NGO ecosystem, rapporteurs, briefers, all repeat the lies. Then a UN report rubberstamps it, the world’s media broadcasts it, and Israel is condemned before the facts are even checked.”Hamas officials in Cairo for talks on Gaza truce-A delegation of senior Hamas officials arrived in Cairo on Monday to hold talks with Egyptian officials and other mediators regarding the Gaza ceasefire.According to senior Hamas official Taher Nunu, the top priorities of the delegation — headed by Zaher Jabarin, the group’s West Bank leader — are “stopping Israeli violations” of the ceasefire in the Strip, rebuilding hospitals, bakeries, and infrastructure, and completing discussions on the roadmap for the second phase of the ceasefire agreement.That phase should include, according to Trump’s plan, Hamas’s disarmament and the transfer of governance in the Gaza Strip to the National Committee for the Administration of Gaza.In recent months, the Board of Peace’s Gaza envoy, Nickolay Mladenov, has insisted that the main obstacle preventing the NCAG from entering Gaza is Hamas’s refusal to give up its weapons.Diplomats from each of the Middle Eastern mediating countries — Egypt, Qatar, and Turkey — told The Times of Israel that Hamas has sought to drag out negotiations on the issue. They also argued that Israel’s refusal to adhere to the terms of the first phase of the October 2025 Gaza ceasefire has posed a major obstacle as well.Over 1,000 Palestinians have been killed since the start of the ceasefire in October 2025, according to the Hamas‑run health ministry in Gaza, which does not distinguish between combatants and civilians.Five Israeli soldiers have been killed during the same period.Alongside the strikes across Gaza, the IDF has slowly been pushing out the boundaries of the area inside the enclave still under its control, saying it now controls at least 60 percent of the Strip, rather than the roughly 53% following its pullback on the first day of the truce. Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu said last month he had ordered the military to retake additional territory, amounting to 70% of the enclave.In the areas not controlled by Israel, Hamas remains in place as the enclave’s de facto government, as power will only be handed over to a transitional authority once the terror group agrees to give up its weapons.Although battered by war, the terror group is reported to be maintaining its control over the Strip by executing its opponents and those it views as posing a threat to its rule.A report on Sunday said the IDF assessed Hamas is producing hundreds of explosive devices and anti-tank missiles every month, recruiting new fighters, and rebuilding underground infrastructure.
Families to mark 1,000 days since October 7 with memorials, protests, moment of silence-October Council requests Israelis fall silent for a minute at 10 a.m. to observe somber anniversary, which will also include a convoy touring hard-hit communities near Gaza border By ToI Staff Today, 6:11 am-JULY 1,26
Israel will mark on Thursday 1,000 days since the October 7, 2023 massacre in southern Israel, with somber memorials, marches and protests planned across the country.The October Council, a group of bereaved families, October 7 survivors and some former hostages, has organized a full day of events to mark the occasion throughout the day.The organization — which is sharply critical of the current government’s failure to prevent the Hamas invasion and its refusal to convene a state commission of inquiry — is planning on opening the day’s events at 6:29 a.m., the exact time that the attack began 1,000 days earlier, with a series of protests.The October Council is also organizing a convoy of vehicles that will tour the worst hit sites of the attack, beginning at the site of the Nova festival near Kibbutz Re’im, continuing through Nir Oz, Kissufim, Be’eri, Nahal Oz, Kfar Aza and other locations, before ending at a memorial site next to Sderot.At 10 a.m., the organization is calling for a nationwide moment of silence to remember the October 7 massacre. Ten a.m. is also the time that a siren rings out nationwide on Israel’s Holocaust Memorial Day each year. At 11, the organization will open an exhibit in Tel Aviv presenting 1,000 personal items that belonged to those killed or kidnapped that day.At 5 p.m. a protest will be held outside the Defense Ministry headquarters in Tel Aviv, and at 8 p.m. the main rally will be held at the former Hostages Square in Tel Aviv. A number of other events will be held throughout the day at locations nationwide.Freed hostage Rom Braslavski, who was kidnapped from the Nova festival and held in captivity in Gaza for 737 days before being released in October 2025, said he will speak at the main gathering Thursday evening.“Friends, I want to invite everyone to the 7.1000.2023 event,” he wrote on social media. “I invite everyone to come, to be moved and to pay respects to the fallen who are no longer with us.”The October Council began the proceedings already on Wednesday evening, with a gathering at Sha’ar Hanegev, which included speeches from Yael Adar, the widow of slain hostage Tamir Adar, as well as Ali Ziyadne, whose brother Youssef and nephew Hamza were kidnapped and slain in captivity, while another nephew and niece, Bilal and Aisha, were taken captive and freed from Gaza in November 2023.Ahead of the three year anniversary of the massacre this fall, dueling ceremonies are once again being planned as the legacy of October 7 remains highly politicized.On Wednesday the Kumu (“Rise Up”) organization, a group of October 7 survivors and bereaved families, said it was planning a major memorial in Tel Aviv’s Yarkon Park, separate from the official state-sponsored ceremony.“Three years after the failure and the disaster, with hearts that still ache, countless questions still awaiting answers, and a memory that must continue to resonate, we are once again taking our stand to present the failure as it unfolded, to give voice to the families, the murdered, the wounded, the survivors of captivity, and the communities that were destroyed — to remember, and to offer hope,” the organization said.Speaking on Monday ahead of the 1,000-day mark, IDF Chief of Staff Lt. Gen. Eyal Zamir said that October 7 was “an attack on the very existence of the Jewish people.”“That memory requires us to continue to change, to draw and assimilate lessons in the regional learning race,” he said.The military event opened with a minute of silence in memory of those who fell on October 7 when Hamas led thousands of terrorists in an invasion of southern Israel, killing 1,200 people, mostly civilians, and abducting 251 as hostages to the Gaza Strip.The Hamas attack triggered a war in Gaza that spilled over to several other fronts, after Israel came under attack from the Hezbollah terror group in Lebanon and Houthi rebels in Yemen, both of which are sponsored by Iran. Israel also went to war with Iran, alongside the US.Though fighting has largely been halted on all fronts, none of the conflicts have ended with a permanent ceasefire, and sporadic clashes continue to threaten an outbreak of further fighting.
Op-ed-The world is turning dangerous for Jews again. Israel has to get its house in order-This is not Nazi Germany in the 1930s. But it is a global crisis for Jews — and it demands an Israel strong enough, and united enough, to provide a refuge that is secure, welcoming and true to its founding values By David Horovitz-1 July 2026, 6:00 pm
This Editor’s Note was sent out earlier Wednesday in ToI’s weekly update email to members of the Times of Israel Community. It is adapted from a talk I gave last week at Tel Aviv University’s Irwin Cotler Institute. To receive these Editor’s Notes as they’re released, join the ToI Community here.Barely a week goes by without summations of record or near-record levels of antisemitism — attacks, incidents, rhetoric — in Germany, in Canada, Australia, the United States, Britain, France, Italy, Belgium… the list goes on.I’m going to focus initially on England, where I grew up before moving to Israel 40 years ago, and where I often visit. It’s the community I know best and where I feel the strongest personal connection. But the picture I’ll draw is emblematic of the reality and the challenges facing many other Diaspora Jewish communities.I’m going to start with a little bit of family history; if that seems strange when discussing a very current crisis, you’ll understand why quite soon.My family, on my father’s side, is a largely Orthodox, sometimes rabbinical family. My great-grandfather founded the Borneplatz Synagogue in Frankfurt, and they were that fairly common mix of very Orthodox Jews and very loyal Germans. My grandfather served in the German Army in World War I — indeed, he was nearly killed in World War I — wounded just above the heart. I have at home the Iron Cross he was awarded; quite the medal to look at, given its widespread use by the Nazis in World War II.It took my grandfather quite a while to internalize that the Nazis were not a passing phase, and that there was no future for Jews in Nazi Germany. He was a lawyer by profession, and it is said that one of his clients, who was Jewish, unjustly jailed, took his own life, and that this was the event that brought home to my grandfather that he had to get his family out.They fled to England in 1937; my great-grandfather’s synagogue was burned to the ground on Kristallnacht — the Night of Broken Glass — the following year.The Horovitzes settled in northwest London, in a quite heavily Jewish neighborhood called Golders Green, and gradually started their lives all over again.Every Shabbat when I was a kid, we would walk from our home in nearby Hendon to visit my wonderful grandmother in Golders Green — a peaceful 20-minute walk, through leafy London.Three months ago, four ambulances owned by Hatzola, a Jewish volunteer emergency service, were destroyed by arsonists outside a synagogue on the main Golders Green Road, a short walk from my now late grandmother’s house. Less than a month later, two Jewish men were stabbed a short distance away, one of them seriously wounded; the suspect, a Muslim man born in Somalia who has been charged with attempted murder, allegedly set out to attack “visibly Jewish” people.Other synagogues in London have been targeted in recent months. On Yom Kippur last October, a British citizen born in Syria attacked congregants at a synagogue in Manchester, in northwest England, killing one of them. A second congregant was killed, in error, by police, as he and others were blocking the synagogue doors.There was an undertone of antisemitism in the England in which I grew up. I went to a Jewish high school in Camden Town, a working-class inner-city area, and we’d have occasional fights at the bus stop with the kids from the not-Jewish school down the road, but these were not particularly violent and nobody was ever badly hurt.The several Jewish cabinet ministers in Margaret Thatcher’s governments didn’t speak too much about their Jewishness; much of the community was wary of drawing too much attention to itself, feeling, perhaps, that they were living in the UK on sufferance. But Thatcher was a philo-semite, and one of her most trusted advisers was the chief rabbi, Immanuel Jakobovitz. None of the governments when I grew up, least of all Thatcher’s — and none since, I’d say — were fanning the flames of antisemitism.Indeed, Anglo-Jewry became emboldened in the decades after I moved to Israel. The turning point was the Labour Party leader Jeremy Corbyn’s bid to become prime minister in 2019, when Ephraim Mirvis, the British chief rabbi then and now, did something quite unprecedented. Reluctantly, Mirvis intervened in British politics by penning an op-ed in The Times in which he charged that “anti-Jewish racism — a poison – sanctioned from the very top” – had “taken root” in Corbyn’s Labor Party, and all but explicitly discouraged the British electorate from voting for Corbyn. “I ask every person to vote with their conscience,” wrote Mirvis. “Be in no doubt – the very soul of our nation is at stake.”Corbyn, an anti-Israel obsessive and, in my view, an antisemite, lost the election by a landslide — in small part, perhaps, because of his antisemitism — and was booted out of Labour by now-outgoing Prime Minister Keir Starmer, whose wife is Jewish and has family in Israel. Like Labour, the main opposition Conservative party is committed to protecting British Jewish life, and would likely be more proactive in doing so than apparently weak-willed Starmer.But the Green Party, whose leader is both Jewish and virulently hostile to Israel, is riddled with antisemitism and on the rise from the far left, and Britain’s current most popular party, the hard-right, anti-immigration, Reform UK of Nigel Farage, is regarded with concern by many of Britain’s 300,000 Jews.In England as elsewhere, obsessive hostility to Israel and antisemitism constitute a rare common ground for extremists on left and right.On a fairly recent trip to London, my wife and I watched anti-Israel protesters march down Regent Street, united in their singular focus on the Jewish people’s one small, embattled, admittedly far from perfect country. In February 2024, anti-Israel activists projected the slogan “From the River to the Sea,” which they most certainly intended as a call for the eradication of Israel, onto Big Ben, the clock tower at the Houses of Parliament, mother of all democracies.A British jury five months ago failed to convict an anti-Israel Palestine Action activist who they had watched on film attacking and badly injuring a policewoman with a sledgehammer during a raid on a factory run by Israeli defense firm Elbit. At that point, I really began to wonder whether mainstream Britain was now so afflicted with hatred for Israel that it could not bring itself to punish an anti-Israel activist who had done the unthinkable: attacked a British policewoman. But Sledgehammer Man was convicted in a retrial in May, and he was jailed last month for almost eight years.Some of the incidents I’ve described underline the obsession with Israel’s crimes and ostensible crimes — a purported concern with human rights but one focused solely on Israel; there was overwhelming indifference, for instance, to the mass murder of tens of thousands of Iranian civilians by their own government early this year. To my mind, when the world’s supreme offender is purported to be Israel, and Israel is the unique focus of protest and activism, we have entered the territory not only of anti-Zionism but of antisemitism.And plainly, there is a growing conflation between Israel and Jews — in England and around the world — which means some of those rising masses so deeply and sometimes violently hostile to Israel are inclined toward hostility and sometimes violence towards Jews as well.A few weeks ago, not long after the Golders Green stabbings, I interviewed Michael Wegier, the chief executive of the Board of Deputies of British Jews, the community’s main representative body, and he demurred when I asked him whether British Jews were now living in fear. And as far as I know, there is no massive outflow of British Jews to Israel or anywhere else. But he did acknowledge what he called “a climate of anxiety.”Evaporating US support for Israel; record numbers of attacks on JewsSince October 7, 2023, and the Hamas invasion, there has been a steep rise in incidents of antisemitism in the UK, and the political climate, too, as I’ve said, may well be changing in ways that are concerning for Jews. Much of that summation applies, as well, to many other Jewish communities around the world.In some, Jews would be more likely to say they are indeed living in fear, rather than “anxiety.” That would seem to be the sense emanating from many Jews in Canada, for instance, or Australia, where the government has proven particularly indulgent of intensive anti-Israel activism and hostility. A series of attacks on synagogues and other Jewish targets — none of which produced firm, government-ordered action — culminated in the massacre on Bondi Beach in December, in which 15 people were shot dead, again by Muslim murderers, in an attack coldheartedly targeting a first-night-of-Hanukkah celebration. An event marking the Jewish festival of light was subject to the first fatal attack on Jews in Australia, and the worst terrorist attack in Australia’s history-But I want to focus a few more words on the United States, home to the only substantive Jewish community outside Israel. In Israel, we are perhaps 7 million; in the US, maybe slightly fewer, depending on your definitions of Jewishness. No other Jewish community worldwide comes close to being a million strong. Many people think there are tens of millions of Jews worldwide. In fact, there are about 15 million — 0.2 percent of the global populace, and still fewer than before the Holocaust wiped out 6 million.Many, many years ago, when I first attended the massive conferences that AIPAC, the pro-Israel lobby, used to hold in Washington, DC, I marveled at the confident display of power at the events’ annual gala dinners. AIPAC leaders would stand at the front of the hall and read out the names of all the administration officials, the senators and members of Congress, the ambassadors, who were present in the room — dozens upon dozens of names, each of them applauded. The cavernous hall reveled in the display of support and solidarity.Now, in the United States, support for Israel at the highest levels is gradually evaporating. A staggering 60 percent of Americans have an unfavorable view of Israel. And, again by extension, antisemitism is soaring. The ADL reported a record high number of physical assaults on Jews in America last year, and the first fatalities since 2022 — including the murders of two staffers from the Israeli Embassy.My wife studied at Columbia University on the Upper West Side of Manhattan. After October 7, the Columbia campus, like so many others in the US and worldwide, was a center of anti-Israel activism. Students joined marches along Broadway, where my sister-in-law lives, some carrying “From the River to the Sea” placards — some of them useful idiots who, when asked, genuinely did not know between which River and which Sea they were advocating for Israel’s demise.I never thought I’d see “From the River to the Sea” projected onto Big Ben. And I’m sure my wife’s family never dreamed they’d watch people in Hamas headbands marching down Broadway.Anti-Israel activists regularly rally outside synagogues in New York carrying the flags of the Hezbollah terrorist organization. Zohran Mamdani, the mayor of New York City, far from joining the annual Israel Day parade in the tradition of his predecessors, does not believe that the Jewish nation has the right to statehood in its ancient homeland. In a city with more Jews than any other on Earth, vicious hostility to Israel, far from being an impediment to political success, proved central to the clean sweep in last week’s Democratic primaries of Mamdani-endorsed candidates.An Israeli government hobbling Israel’s cause.Anyone who reads my weekly op-eds in The Times of Israel will know that I am deeply concerned about the direction Israel has taken domestically under the Netanyahu government. To put it bluntly, I see a coalition in which racist, Jewish supremacists hold central roles, alongside an ultra-Orthodox leadership that insists that its young males be exempted from the responsibilities of military service and be paid to study Torah full-time en masse. That’s a demand that skews Jewish history and Jewish principle, but one that Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu has relentlessly sought to indulge in order to retain power — leaving the army short of recruits in an era of war, and tearing at Israel’s social cohesion.I’m not convinced, either, that the IDF is as dependably moral as it was — the ethos is principled, the orders strive for morality, but in the field, discipline and standards and practices are clearly fraying, with a minority of soldiers fashioning their own insignia in the cause of messianic war, failing to effectively thwart violent settler attacks on Palestinians, and even participating.In its essential resort to force against Hamas following the October 7 massacre, and in the multifront wars since, the Israeli government, as ever, has failed utterly on the second battlefield — the war for global public opinion. It simply doesn’t fight. It has no hierarchy staffed or resourced to even disseminate real-time information, an honest Israeli narrative. Instead, it relentlessly hobbles Israel’s own cause.Ministers push to annex the West Bank and Gaza — steps that would destroy Israel as a majority-Jewish state or a democracy, or both. One minister talked about nuking Gaza. Our national security minister — who last month posted video footage of himself taunting flotilla detainees — just days ago, after four soldiers were killed by Hezbollah, demanded that: “For every tear of an Israeli mother, a thousand Lebanese mothers must weep.” And “All of Lebanon must burn!”Other ministers seem bent on alienating even the most steadfast Diaspora Jewish supporters of Israel; one recently declared that rabbis in the Reform movement, the largest Jewish stream in the US, perform marriages for dogs in their synagogues.Israel should be working strenuously to try to address and defang resonant and often false allegations against it, an uphill battle but one that would nudge the needle, give succor to Israel’s supporters, and help to at least somewhat calm the climate of increasingly murderous hostility to Jews in parts of the Diaspora. Instead, the government is exacerbating the crisis.The essential homeland-Again, Israel is not perfect, but it is being unjustly delegitimized and turned into a global pariah, in an effort led by haters who fully intend to render it defenseless and get it destroyed.And my point in highlighting all of that in this article is to recall and remind us all that the modern Jewish state was, terribly, tragically, revived too late to serve as a refuge for Jews from the Holocaust. But it has served as a refuge for persecuted Jews from all over the world, as well as immigrants by choice, ever since its revival. A vital, necessary refuge for Jews.Diaspora Jewry is under heaviest attack by those who claim to oppose Israel, but whose obsessive hatred for the Jewish state is a paper-thin cloak for antisemitism.And when I look out at the Diaspora today — facing that soaring antisemitism, and that rising tide of attacks, with feckless governments failing to protect their Jewish communities — I see a growing imperative for this country to make sure it survives, and thrives, and upholds authentic Jewish values, and is capable of defending itself. We won’t be able to do that if we are tearing ourselves apart from within, from the top, which makes October’s elections arguably the most fateful in the brief modern history of Israel.The fact is, and I make no apology for ending in tones of such concern, that our survival is not something we can dare take for granted, given that Israel is demonized, isolated, imperfect, and fraying. Indeed, Israel is, outrageously, the world’s most toxic nation right now.And since I began drafting this speech-turned-article, we seem to be in the process of being abandoned by our most important ally, the United States: The Trump administration last month signed an accord with Iran committing to the “permanent” cessation of hostilities against a rapacious regime that is steadfastly working for our destruction. It is an accord which Israel had no role in drafting, which for now leaves Iran’s nuclear program, its ballistic missile program, its terror proxies and the regime itself, all intact — and yet whose very first clause declares that it is binding on the US, Iran and “their allies” — as in, binding on us. As in — and you can read the memorandum of understanding for yourselves — Israel, with no say in the matter, is barred by the United States from initiating military action that it might deem vital to its survival.In subsequent talks, US Vice President JD Vance revealed last week, a “deconfliction mechanism” was agreed under which CENTCOM and Iran’s Islamic Revolutionary Guard Corps are supposed to work together to reduce conflict — the US army, that is, coordinating on “deconfliction” with Iran’s main US-designated terror group, responsible for the arming, training and activities of Iran’s terror proxies in Lebanon, Gaza and beyond, for innumerable global bombings, assassinations and other acts of terror, and for the murder of Iranian citizens. Words fail.And all this at a time, in this dire global climate, when Israel manifestly needs to be able to defend itself as acutely as ever, and, moreover, needs to be able to keep its doors open and securely welcoming for Jewish people worldwide.We are not in Nazi Germany in the 1930s. But this is a global crisis for Jews. Because almost all of them are anxious. And many of them are living in fear.
US reportedly mulls pulling troops from Saudi Arabia as ties sour over Iran war-Riyadh initially refused Washington request to use bases critical to Hormuz ship escort operation, prompting US ire; Riyadh interprets Rubio skipping over Saudi on Gulf tour as snub By ToI Staff and Jacob Magid-1 July 2026, 8:19 pm
US-Saudi relations have significantly deteriorated in recent months amid anger in Riyadh over Washington’s decision to launch a war against Iran that has caused massive blowback for the rest of the region, to the extent that the US is reportedly considering pulling troops from the Gulf kingdom.A Middle Eastern intelligence official told The Times of Israel that relations between the two countries have substantially soured because of the war, partly confirming a Wall Street Journal report on Wednesday.Saudi Arabia refused to allow the US to use its bases to conduct Project Freedom, which was aimed at breaking Iran’s control over the Strait of Hormuz by escorting stuck ships out of the channel.Saudi bases and airspace were critical to the operation and Riyadh’s refusal to cooperate forced the US to abort the mission, the WSJ revealed. At the time, US President Donald Trump claimed that it was progress in talks with Iran that led him to call off Project Freedom after less than two days.Infuriated by the Saudi decision, the White House threatened to hold back the delivery of interceptors that Riyadh had been using to shoot down Iranian missiles and drones, WSJ said, citing US and Arab officials familiar with the matter.Riyadh subsequently relented and Project Freedom resumed covertly, but the damage wouldn’t be easily undone, US officials said.The US is now considering reducing its military presence in Saudi Arabia, US officials told the Journal.US Secretary of State Marco Rubio visited the Gulf last week, making stops in the UAE, Kuwait and Bahrain, in what Riyadh viewed as a snub, WSJ said.A week earlier, Saudi Crown Prince Mohammed bin Salman turned down an invitation to participate in a G7 summit in France — which was attended by Trump — in protest of Washington’s handling of the war, sources familiar with the matter told WSJ.Saudi Arabia had lobbied Trump against launching the war, fearing that efforts to topple the Iranian regime wouldn’t work and that Tehran would respond by closing the Strait of Hormuz, destabilizing the region and damaging the global economy.Trump went ahead with the war, anyway, exacerbating Saudi concerns that its investment in the relationship with the US president wasn’t translating into actual influence over American policy, Arab officials told the Journal.After initial reluctance, the kingdom and other Gulf states allowed the US to use their bases for attacks against Iran, as they quickly found themselves bearing the brunt of Tehran’s retaliatory strikes.Saudi Arabia even launched a number of its own strikes against Iranian drone and missile sites, US officials and a Gulf official said.Iran proceeded to target energy sites, including ones in Saudi Arabia, leading Riyadh to begin pushing for a diplomatic resolution to de-escalate tensions.Saudi Arabia took particular issue with continued Emirati attacks on Iran, fearing that it put regional energy facilities at further risk.Riyadh wanted the US to pressure the UAE to halt its attacks and join regional diplomatic efforts to end the war, WSJ reported.Abu Dhabi’s hardline stance against Iran further exacerbated tensions with Saudi Arabia that have been bubbling for the past year. The UAE pulled out of the Saudi-led OPEC in April.Saudi Arabia also pushed the US during the war to drop its blockade of Iranian ports, something that Trump refused to do until a deal was reached last month.The memorandum of understanding, which has been tested by recent exchanges of fire between the sides, includes a 60-day ceasefire pausing the war that broke out with US-Israeli strikes targeting the Iranian regime in late February, as well as the reopening of the Strait of Hormuz and a timeframe for a final deal to permanently end the conflict and reach an agreement on Iran’s nuclear program.The Wall Street Journal reported Wednesday that Trump has told aides that he believes that deadline to be moveable.Israel had no part in negotiating the memorandum of understanding, and Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu has distanced himself from it. Still, the terms of the opening clause, permanently ending the war and ruling out any resumption, assert that it is binding on the US, Iran “and their allies.”Israeli officials are bitterly opposed to the deal’s terms, which resolve none of the war’s key goals — notably, eliminating Iran’s nuclear and ballistic missile programs and creating the conditions for the collapse of the regime.
Ben Gvir mourns rabbi, mum on Arabs' killings-Three killed in under an hour, including a well-known rabbi, as violent crime surges-Ex-student of Amos Guetta arrested in fatal stabbing as Netanya mourns esteemed rabbi; further north, bus driver shot dead, another man gunned down outside shopping mall By Charlie Summers-1 July 2026, 12:45 pm
Three people were killed within a single hour early Wednesday morning — a well-known rabbi and two young Arab Israeli men — as violent crime continued to rock the country.Amos Guetta, a 75-year-old rabbi from Netanya, was found with stab wounds at around 5:40 a.m. in the yeshiva where he lived and taught. Medics rushed him in critical condition to a hospital, but he succumbed to his wounds en route.Further north in Shfaram, a bus driver was shot dead in a killing reportedly linked to a bitter dispute between two families in the Arab city. A young man from the northern Bedouin village of Basmat Tab’un was gunned down half an hour later outside a shopping center in Yagur, south of Haifa.The spate of killings brought this week’s homicide death toll to eight, seven of them Arabs, continuing an especially bloody four days amid a years-long surge in violent crime.National Security Minister Itamar Ben Gvir, who oversees the police in his ministerial role, mourned the death of the rabbi but declined to comment on the two Arab citizens killed the same hour.“This is a shocking and grave act, and the Israel Police will act with determination in order to capture the murderer, determine the circumstances of the incident and prosecute him to the fullest extent, even if this man is mentally ill as it seems,” the far-right minister wrote on Facebook.Police launched investigations into all three killings. So far, they have only arrested a suspect in the fatal stabbing of Guetta.The suspected perpetrator is a man in his 20s who formerly studied under the rabbi, law enforcement said. Officers launched a manhunt and nabbed him in downtown Netanya, after he allegedly fled the scene of the stabbing.“The murderer stabbed the rabbi while he was lying helpless in his bed. He lived in a kolel. The stabber screamed and went berserk, pulled out a kitchen knife and stabbed the rabbi in the stomach,” a witness told Channel 12 news, adding that he also tried to stab Guetta’s assistant, who managed to escape.Police said they were preparing for Guetta’s funeral, expected to draw thousands of mourners Wednesday evening to Netanya.Bus driver killed, another shot dead near shopping mall-At around the same time as the rabbi’s violent death Wednesday morning, a 24-year-old bus driver was shot and killed in Shfaram.The victim, Ali Suwaed, was found with bullet wounds in a parking lot in the northern Arab city. Medics pronounced him dead at the scene.According to Channel 12, the killing was linked to a bloody feud between two families in the area.The slain bus driver’s Suwaed family has for several years been at odds with the Khalidi family. The bitter dispute began between criminals, but has since expanded to affect relatives without known gangland ties.According to Nas Radio, a Nazareth-based Arabic station, police found a burning vehicle in the city the night before and are investigating whether it was linked to the early-morning shooting.Half an hour later, another young man was shot and killed in his car in a parking lot near a shopping center in Yagur, south of Haifa.The 21-year-old victim, who has not yet been identified, was pronounced dead at the scene. According to Arab outlets, he is from Basmat Tab’un, a small Bedouin village in northern Israel.Channel 12 reported that the man was killed in revenge for Tuesday’s deadly car bombing that killed a senior crime figure in Kiryat Haim, a northern suburb of Haifa.The slain target of Tuesday’s blast, 50-year-old Rabia Abu Haikal, was a prominent mobster in the powerful Nasser Hariri gang, whose ongoing rivalry with the Nazareth-based Bakri criminal organization has fueled hiking violence in the north.According to the Abraham Initiatives group, which tracks Arab sector homicides, 147 members of the community have been killed so far this year, after the minority saw its deadliest year on record in 2025, with 252 killed in violent circumstances.
If a ruler listens to lies, all his officials will be wicked. (Proverbs 29:12)
On the impact of pride:Pride comes before destruction, and an arrogant spirit before a fall. (Proverbs 16:18)
When a nation turns away from God, corrupt or godless leaders often take control. This leadership style leads to poor choices, injustice, and a nation's fall. Throughout history, bad choices by those in power have harmed everyone. To learn more about how corruption hurts communities and what history teaches us, read these guides on corrupt political leaders and leaders who bring down their followers.A godless leader does not follow rules. They lack basic moral values, like honesty and fairness. Because they do not care about higher spiritual laws, they make selfish choices. These choices hurt the people they are supposed to protect.Bad leadership harms a country in three main ways:Loss of Trust: People stop believing in their government. When leaders lie or act greedy, citizens feel lost.Economic Trouble: Unfair rules and stolen money make people poor.Social Unrest: A lack of moral guidance causes people to argue. Communities break down as basic needs are ignored.The Domino EffectThink of a country like a big ship. The leader is the captain. If the captain does not use a map, the ship goes off course. It will eventually crash into rocks.In the same way, one bad leader can cause a nation to fail. History shows that when a leader acts without morals, the whole country pays the price. For example, Proverbs 14:34 states, "Righteousness exalts a nation, but sin is a reproach to any people". When leaders promote sin, the nation becomes weak and can eventually collapse.
THE LIBERAL COMMUNIST NAZIS SOCIALISTS AND JUDGEMENTS BY NATURAL DISASTERS AND TERRORISTS AS A RESULT FOR VOTING IN THESE GODLESS LEADERS ARE GONNA BRING AMERICA TO A 3RD WORLD COUNTRY.NOW WE KNOW WHY THE EUROPEAN UNION WILL HAVE WORLD ECONOMIC CONTROL AT SOME POINT IN TIME.
Report: Harris calls Mamdani, meets pro-Palestinian activists as she weighs 2028 bid-Former VP said to discuss future of Democratic Party with Mamdani, days after candidates he backed swept New York primaries; the two have reportedly been corresponding for months By ToI Staff 1 July 2026, 11:10 pm
Former US vice president Kamala Harris reportedly held a call last week with New York City Mayor Zohran Mamdani and has been holding lengthy meetings with other prominent progressives, including pro-Palestinian activists, as she weighs another presidential run in 2028.Harris called the mayor on Thursday, two days after the candidates he backed swept three New York congressional primaries earlier this month, holding a long conversation and discussing the future of the Democratic Party, a person familiar with the call told the Axios news outlet on Wednesday.The two have also been texting over the past few months, the report said.In all three of last week’s races, Israel was a central issue, and the more hardline Israel critics won. The candidates all won primaries in Democratic House districts, meaning they are nearly certain to win the general election in November and enter Congress.Harris appears determined to improve her ties with progressives, who were critical of her during the previous race for not doing more to advance the Palestinian cause.The Harris campaign had rejected a demand from the “Uncommitted Movement,” which had refused to endorse her, to have a Palestinian speaker at the 2024 Democratic Party Convention.Harris’s recent meetings have included ones with Uncommitted co-founder Abbas Alawieh and Democratic National Committee member James Zogby, who has been a longtime advocate for Palestinian rights, Axios reported, citing sources familiar with their conversation.Alawieh told Axios he “reiterated my longstanding position that American tax dollars should never be used to target civilians or destroy entire communities” during their talks.Zogby, as well as Harris and Mamdani spokespeople, refused Axios’ request for comment.Since being voted out of office, Harris has expressed criticism of the previous administration’s policies on Israel, charging that former US president Joe Biden failed to show enough empathy toward Gazans, and regretting not putting more pressure on Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu over the Gaza war’s impact on civilians.In her book, Harris blamed Biden for her election loss, saying the president became unpopular in part because of the “perceived blank check” he gave Netanyahu to respond to the Hamas onslaught of October 7, 2023.Harris’s opinions reflect an increasingly negative view of Israel among the Democratic Party at large. A poll in April showed about 80 percent of Democrats saying they have an unfavorable view of Israel, compared to 40% of Republicans. Nearly half of Democrats under age 50 said they have a “very unfavorable” view of Israel.Palestinian American and progressive strategist Rania Batrice expressed skepticism over Harris’ outreach.“Why should we trust her now?” she told Axios. “If this change is real, she has an opportunity to prove it.”Harris ally Patrick Gaspard, a longtime Democratic strategist, told Axios that as vice president, Harris “had concerns about a lack of empathy for Palestinians in the way the Biden White House presented their policies.”“She tried then, as she continues now, to hear opinions beyond Foggy Bottom and Pennsylvania Ave,” Gaspard insisted.Luke Tress contributed to this report.
Anti-Israel candidate wins Colorado primary, says she’s aiming to ‘end genocide in Palestine’Democratic socialist Melat Kiros has refused to label deadly firebombing at Boulder support rally for Gaza hostages as antisemitic, and said October 7 was ‘inevitable’By ToI Staff and Agencies 1 July 2026, 11:45 am
Democratic socialist Melat Kiros beat US Rep. Diana DeGette in a Colorado House primary Tuesday, a stunning victory for the first-time candidate against a nearly 30-year incumbent and another win for progressive challengers across the country.In her victory speech, she said one of her goals is to “end the genocide in Palestine.”She is set to join a growing class of democratic socialists and staunch Israel critics headed to Congress.The race between Kiros and DeGette, in a district that covers nearly all of Denver, came one week after a slate of progressives won their Democratic primaries in New York City, energizing left-wing advocates who are looking for additional victories around the country.A number of Jewish leaders and groups in Colorado voiced concerns about Kiros, who drew criticism after calling Hamas’s devastating October 7, 2023, invasion of southern Israel “inevitable” and declining to refer to a deadly June 2025 firebombing in Boulder targeting activists for Israeli hostages held in Gaza as an antisemitic attack.Kiros made her sharp criticism of Israel and its relationship with the United States a central plank of her campaign. Her platform includes a complete arms embargo on Israel and the end of military subsidies to the Jewish state.“We will not wait to put an end to the politics of the past, to get big money out of our politics, and to reject corporate PACs and AIPAC,” Kiros said to loud cheers during her victory speech.The democratic socialist also said she would “not wait” to take the fight to US President Donald Trump and abolish ICE. “And no, we will not wait to end the genocide in Palestine,” Kiros said.The Institute for Middle East Understanding Policy Project, a pro-Palestinian advocacy group, wrote in a statement that Kiros’s ascension to Congress “in large part due to her stand for Palestinian rights is proof positive of how much the country has transformed over the last two years.”Last month in Colorado, Kiros declined to say that the firebomb attack targeting a weekly rally in Boulder by activists for hostages was antisemitic. The attack killed an 82-year-old Jewish woman, Karen Diamond, and injured over a dozen people. Assailant Mohamed Sabry Soliman, 46, was convicted last month under a plea bargain and sentenced to life without parole.But he pleaded not guilty to federal hate crime charges, with his lawyers arguing that the attack targeted “Zionists,” rather than Israelis or Jews. According to an FBI agent’s affidavit, Soliman “stated that he wanted to kill all Zionist people and wished they were all dead.”“I don’t know what was in the heart of the perpetrator,” Kiros said when asked about the incident.She has in the past opposed some measures to combat antisemitism and argued that calling for Israel’s destruction is not antisemitic.
Israel ranks 18th in global wealth list as 8,800 Israelis become new millionaires-UBS report finds Israel is home to 195,000 millionaires at the end of 2025, an increase of 4.7% over 2024; while average wealth rose, inequality has deepened since 2020-By Sharon Wrobel-1 July 2026, 10:20 pm
Israel ranked 18th in average personal wealth in the world in 2025 as the number of millionaires continued to grow, boosted by strong financial markets, according to the UBS annual Global Wealth Report published on Tuesday.With average personal wealth in dollar terms of $312,108 per adult at the end of 2025, up from $284,224 in 2024, Israel moved down one spot from the previous year’s annual ranking and was situated before South Korea and after Ireland.Globally, personal wealth expanded at its fastest pace since 2017, marking the third consecutive year of growth, creating nearly 1 million new millionaires, or more than 2,600 per day. Switzerland came in at the top of the table in terms of average personal wealth, followed by the US and Luxembourg, among 56 countries that represent over 92% of the world’s wealth, the Swiss bank said.Israel was home to about 195,000 millionaires at the end of 2025, an increase of 4.7 percent over 2024, as just over 8,800 people became newly minted dollar millionaires. However, Israelis in this wealth bracket represent only 3.2% of the country’s adult population, the report found.More than 82% of the country’s gross personal wealth is invested in financial assets, the second-highest proportion in the list of 56 countries, after Sweden.In 2025, a year of war and geopolitical uncertainty, Tel Aviv share indices soared to record highs, amid the raging multifront wars, outperforming the world’s major stock indexes. Similarly, the shekel has strengthened against both the dollar and the euro despite an economy strained by ballooning war costs and a growing debt burden, while tech exits jumped by a whopping 340% to $58.8 billion.While average wealth per adult in Israel has been rising in recent years, median wealth, which portrays a more accurate picture of the wealth levels prevalent in the middle of the scale, declined, highlighting a growing divide between the wealthiest and the broader population, the UBS report found. Median wealth per adult stood at $83,843, placing Israel at number 24 in the global ranking.“Israel has enjoyed strong growth in average wealth per adult so far this decade, to the tune of over 15% when measured in local currency net of inflation,” the UBS report said. “Median wealth, on the other hand, contracted by more than 12% over the same timeframe of 2020-2025.”Most adults, or just over 42%, own net assets worth between $100,000 and $1 million, while slightly under 40% belong to the wealth bracket between $10,000 and $100,000, the report showed.
Board of Peace parts ways with deradicalization director-IDF says Hamas commander, 4 terrorists killed in Gazac when planning attacks on troops-As strikes continue to hit Gaza, technocrats say ‘highly productive’ meetings held on advancing plans for enclave’s future; Board of Peace: ‘UNRWA has no place in the new Gaza’By Emanuel Fabian,Jacob Magid and Nurit Yohanan-1 July 2026, 9:19 pm
A Hamas commander who “posed a threat” to Israeli forces in the Gaza Strip was killed in a strike on Tuesday, the military announced, as it continued to launch attacks against targets it said were terror operatives endangering troops in the enclave.The Tuesday strike in southern Gaza killed Adel Jihad Mohammad Asfour, a platoon commander in Hamas’s military wing, according to the IDF statement on Wednesday.During the war, Asfour advanced sniper and explosive device attacks against Israeli troops, the military said, adding that recently, alongside advancing “imminent” attacks, he also worked to rebuild Hamas’s capabilities.“The terrorist posed a threat to IDF troops operating in the Gaza Strip and was eliminated in an aerial strike,” the IDF said.The military also identified on Wednesday four other Hamas operatives who they said were advancing attacks on troops and were killed in strikes in the Gaza Strip in the past week.The military named the operatives as Wael Mahmoud Ali Labad and Muaz Mohammad Hassan Ahmad, both anti-tank operatives; Sameh Abu Kamil, a platoon commander; and Akram Ashraf Hamad Labad, a sniper operative.Additionally, several rocket-launching tunnel shafts were destroyed in strikes on Monday, the IDF added.The military published footage showing some of the strikes.Hamas-affiliated Palestinian media outlets in Gaza also reported on Wednesday that one person had been killed and four were wounded in a strike in the Sheikh Radwan neighborhood of Gaza City.Earlier Wednesday, another man, identified as Mohammad Jundiya, was reportedly killed in a separate strike in Gaza.Footage from his funeral shows armed men firing into the air.-As of Wednesday evening, the IDF had not commented on either strike.Alongside the strikes across Gaza, the IDF has slowly been pushing out the boundaries of the area inside the enclave still under its control, saying it now controls at least 60 percent of the Strip, rather than the roughly 53% following its pullback on the first day of the truce. Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu said last month he had ordered the military to retake additional territory, amounting to 70% of the enclave.In the areas not controlled by Israel, Hamas remains in place as the enclave’s de facto government, as power will only be handed over to a transitional authority once the terror group agrees to give up its weapons.Although battered by war, the terror group is reported to be maintaining its control over the Strip by executing its opponents and those it views as posing a threat to its rule.A report on Sunday said the IDF assessed that Hamas is producing hundreds of explosive devices and anti-tank missiles every month, recruiting new fighters and rebuilding underground infrastructure.Over 1,000 Palestinians have been killed since the start of the ceasefire in October 2025, according to the Hamas‑run health ministry in Gaza, which does not distinguish between combatants and civilians.Five Israeli soldiers have been killed during the same period.NCAG touts ‘highly productive’ meetings for Gaza plans-The National Committee for the Administration of Gaza (NCAG) said on Wednesday its members held a series of “highly productive” meetings in Cyprus to prepare for the next phase of its efforts to alleviate the suffering of Palestinians in Gaza.Participating in those meetings were representatives from Nickolay Mladenov’s Office of the High Representative and former UK prime minister Tony Blair’s Institute for Global Change, NCAG said in a statement.“We concentrated on what can be done immediately, including initiatives and projects to ease conditions on the ground. We reviewed plans for reconstruction, security and governance, and we finalized the institutional arrangements that will ensure the transparency and accountability required by international donors,” the statement continued.The NCAG statement reiterated the Palestinian technocratic government’s commitment to US President Donald Trump’s 20-point plan for Gaza and says it is “prepared to take all necessary steps — in coordination with the Board of Peace and the Office of the High Representative — in order to assume its responsibilities once the right conditions are met.”It didn’t specify what those conditions are, but the Board of Peace has conditioned NCAG’s entry into Gaza on Hamas agreeing to disarm, while the terror group argues that Israel must first cease violations of the ceasefire deal reached in October.This week’s meetings in Cyprus built on a workshop that was held in Cairo last week and “are part of a broader process to ensure we have every tool necessary to serve the Palestinian people of Gaza,” NCAG said.“Further steps will be set out and announced in due course,” the statement added.In recent months, the Board of Peace’s Gaza envoy, Nickolay Mladenov, has insisted that the main obstacle preventing the NCAG from entering Gaza is Hamas’s refusal to give up its weapons.Diplomats from each of the Middle Eastern mediating countries — Egypt, Qatar and Turkey — told The Times of Israel that Hamas has sought to drag out negotiations on the issue. They also argued that Israel’s refusal to adhere to the terms of the first phase of the October 2025 Gaza ceasefire has posed a major obstacle as well.No role for UNRWA in ‘the new Gaza’Additionally, on Wednesday, the US-led Board of Peace overseeing the postwar management of Gaza indicated that the UN agency for Palestinian refugees will not be allowed to play a future role in Gaza.“UNRWA has no place in the new Gaza. We are turning the page on the complex of perpetual aid dependency and conflict. The people of Gaza deserve better,” the Board of Peace tweeted.It appeared to be the first time that the Board of Peace has voiced its stance regarding UNRWA, which Israel and the US argue has become an irredeemable organization due to its ties to Hamas.Israel has taken measures to limit UNRWA’s ability to operate in Gaza, the West Bank and East Jerusalem, but its infrastructure continues to be used to facilitate the delivery of humanitarian aid in the Strip.UNRWA has no place in the new Gaza. We are turning the page on the complex of perpetual aid dependency & conflict. The people of Gaza deserve better. https://t.co/MttkJqX1Np — Board of Peace (@BoardOfPeace) July 1, 2026-The statement from the Board of Peace sparked outcry from the Palestinian Authority’s foreign ministry, which stressed the importance of UNRWA’s work in providing for Palestinians.The PA statement also “rejects all terminology aimed at fragmenting Palestinian Territory, including the term ‘New Gaza,’ which seeks to isolate the Gaza Strip from its natural surroundings, as well as the term ‘the people of Gaza.'”However, the PA statement was careful to reiterate Ramallah’s support for Trump’s 20-point plan as well as the establishment of the NCAG.Meanwhile, Israel has relocated its screening facility for Palestinians returning to the Gaza Strip from Egypt to the Kerem Shalom Crossing, instead of a military post in Rafah.Board of Peace parts ways with deradicalization director after 3 months, official tells ToI-On Tuesday, a Board of Peace official told The The Times of Israel that the panel had parted ways with its director of deradicalization after roughly three months.“Jason Olson’s recent detail in support of the Board of Peace mission has concluded. We thank him for his capacity-building contributions,” the official said in a statement.Olson joined the Board of Peace from the US Department of Defense, with the creation of the position offering a sign of the panel’s priorities as it works to rebuild Gaza.Israeli officials have repeatedly insisted that true peace in Gaza requires the “deradicalization” of Gaza’s population following the Hamas-led October 7 onslaught.Olson appeared at a conference in Jerusalem last week, during which he touted the importance of the US-Israel relationship and stressed the need for Hamas to disarm in order to make way for Gaza to be rebuilt.No reason was given for Olson’s departure, and he did not respond to a request for comment.COGAT launches pilot to relocate screening for returning Gazans to Kerem Shalom Crossing-The Coordinator of Government Activities in the Territories (COGAT) announced on Wednesday that as part of the ceasefire agreement, “a pilot has been launched to relocate the Israeli security screening conducted for residents returning from Egypt to the Gaza Strip via the Rafah Crossing. ”Previously, Palestinians returning to Gaza from Egypt would be screened at the IDF’s “Regavim” checkpoint, located in Rafah.The screening and identification procedures have now been relocated to Kerem Shalom, and they will be conducted by the Defense Ministry’s Land Crossings Authority, alongside other security bodies, according to COGAT.“This is an operational adjustment intended to streamline the crossing process, enhance screening capabilities, and ensure the continued safe and efficient operation of the mechanism,” COGAT said.COGAT said this change only relates to the Israeli screening process. The movement through the Rafah Crossing itself remains unchanged, including “coordination with Egypt and the World Health Organization (WHO), Israel’s prior security approval process, the supervision of the European Union Border Assistance Mission (EUBAM), and the mechanism governing the departure of residents from the Gaza Strip to Egypt.”
Gaza border communities attract 5,000 new residents amid post-Oct. 7 rehabilitation-With 92% of Kibbutz Kissufim residents returning this week, Tekuma Directorate marks 1,000 days since deadly Hamas invasion, says over 1,000 projects completed across region By Sue Surkes-1 July 2026, 5:48 pm
The Tekuma Directorate, tasked with rehabilitating the Gaza border area in the wake of the deadly Hamas invasion on October 7, 2023, issued a progress report on Wednesday to mark 1,000 days since the massacre.Some 1,200 people were slaughtered when thousands of terrorists poured over the border early in the morning. Thousands more were wounded, and 251 were kidnapped to the Gaza Strip. Of the latter, all have since been returned, either dead or alive.The state directorate is operating with a NIS 17 billion ($5.7 billion) budget spread over five years, from 2024 to 2028.By the end of 2025, it had spent NIS 11.6 billion ($3.9 billion), representing about 67% of the total. The current year’s budget stands at NIS 2.8 billion ($940 million).Over 92% of the region’s residents are back home, joined by more than 5,000 new residents, the directorate reported.It cited the Central Bureau of Statistics, which reported in December that there were 65,000 residents in the region, compared to about 62,000 on the eve of the October 7 attack.The state aims to reach 124,000 residents by 2030.More than 92 percent of Kibbutz Kissufim residents went home earlier this week, leaving their temporary residences in the Beersheba suburb of Omer.At this stage, 43 out of the 47 communities evacuated after the massacre have returned home, with the kibbutzim Holit and Kfar Aza expected to start going back in August and Be’eri slated to commence the return at the end of December. Nir Oz, which only agreed on its financial package in August last year, will return sometime in 2027.Aviad Friedman, who heads the directorate, said, “Alongside the memory, pain, and loss that have been with us since that day, we see the communities returning and renewing, the settlements being rebuilt, and the trust in the future of the Gaza Envelope.”The directorate said it had already implemented over 1,000 projects.The main projects it is focusing on for the current year include strengthening security, expanding services for community health and resilience, investing capital into agriculture, and offering incentives to factories to move to the region. It is also working on finishing the new police station in the city of Sderot, which Israeli forces bulldozed to end a brutal standoff with gunmen; boosting education; retaining social workers and incentivizing additional social workers to move to the area; building student dormitories and housing for youth; and encouraging revenue-generating projects in local authorities.At Kibbutz Kissufim, about 180 residential and public buildings have already been or are still being renovated, and 20 residential buildings are being rebuilt, at a cost of NIS 85 million ($28.5 million). An additional NIS 9 million ($3 million) is being invested to upgrade and adapt water, sewage, path, road, and public space infrastructure. On October 7, Hamas gunmen slaughtered 14 out of 270 residents, as well as six foreign workers.Around NIS 57 million ($19 million) is being invested in rehabilitating the tiny Kibbutz Holit, with 48 percent of that amount already spent. There, a tenth of the residents were murdered on October 7 — 15 out of 150.The kibbutz’s rehabilitation program includes renovating 110 residential and public buildings.In consultation with the families, it was agreed to undertake deep renovation of eight seriously damaged residential buildings, and to demolish and rebuild a further ten.Upgrades are also being carried out on the infrastructure.The residents of Kibbutz Kfar Aza, one of the worst affected by the Hamas invasion, will start going home on August 31. Hamas terrorists slaughtered 64 of the kibbutz’s 787 residents and abducted 19 to the Gaza Strip on October 7.The rehabilitation budget there stands at NIS 211 million ($70.9 million), with 45% spent to date.The program includes the renovation of about 280 residential buildings, currently nearing completion, as well as the reconstruction of 98 housing units, with work already started on most and completion expected by the end of this year. Work on public buildings is being carried out simultaneously, while plans for a new dining hall, kindergartens, a clinic, a dental clinic, a seniors’ club, and a cultural center are advancing.At Kibbutz Be’eri, 102 out of 1,200 people were massacred by Hamas terrorists, while 30 were abducted to Gaza. Residents’ return home is expected to commence in late December.NIS 470 million ($158 million) has been budgeted for Be’eri, of which 37% has been spent. The program includes the renovation of 350 existing residential and public buildings, with most work expected to end by March next year, while 132 new housing units are also being built. New public buildings include a new dental clinic to replace the one in which Hamas gunmen murdered five people.Infrastructure is also being replaced.The rehabilitation of Kibbutz Nir Oz, which was largely destroyed on October 7, 2023, when Hamas terrorists entered all but six of over 200 homes and either murdered or kidnapped one of every four residents — 117 people out of some 400 — will take longer. That’s because residents held out until August 2025 for what they believed to be an appropriate financial agreement.Just six percent of the NIS 232 million ($78 million) budget has been spent so far, with the return home not expected until the end of August 2027.Demolitions are being carried out gradually at Nir Oz, in accordance with the community’s wishes. The construction of 10 new housing units has been completed, and some 30 units have been renovated as part of the Pioneer Project for those returning first. The program also includes the construction of 85 new housing units in a veteran neighborhood, as well as public buildings, including a dining hall, a general store, and educational facilities. A new eastern neighborhood of 76 homes is also being built at a cost of NIS 110 million ($37 million), with the state contributing NIS 70 million ($23.5 million) of this sum.
Knesset advances far-right MK’s bill to lower volume of mosque calls to prayer-Otzma Yehudit’s Zvika Fogel says it’s ‘not a political issue’ but one of equal law enforcement, though Arab lawmakers point to lack of effort to curb violent crime in minority community By Ariela Karmel-1 July 2026, 7:57 pm
The Knesset on Wednesday voted 50-36 in a preliminary reading to advance a bill tightening restrictions on loudspeakers in mosques, in what supporters described as an effort to curb “unreasonable noise,” but which opposition lawmakers have said unfairly targets Israel’s Muslim minority.Sponsored by far-right Otzma Yehudit MK Zvika Fogel, the bill would require mosques to obtain permits to operate loudspeaker systems, authorize police to enter premises to halt violations and impose administrative fines for breaches. Muezzins use loudspeakers in mosques to issue calls to prayer five times a day, including the predawn Fajr prayer.“This is not a political issue,” Fogel told the plenum.“Just as the law is enforced against event halls, private businesses, factories and houses of worship of every kind, so too must it be enforced equally here,” he said.National Security Minister Itamar Ben Gvir welcomed the bill — which must pass three more votes before being passed into law — declaring that “governance begins with noise,” and claiming that residents of Arab communities also suffer from the calls broadcast over loudspeakers.Arab lawmakers countered that Ben Gvir is prioritizing what they described as the persecution of a religious minority instead of addressing surging violent crime in Arab communities, after three people were killed in separate incidents today.“Three murders within an hour… another day under this government of blood,” said chairman of Arab-majority Hadash-Ta’al party Ayman Odeh, accusing the “Kahanist and convicted criminal” minister of abandoning public security.“The muezzin does not disturb their ears; it disturbs their racism,” said Hadash-Ta’al MK Ofer Cassif on X, charging that Ben Gvir and his far-right allies are trying to “silence” Israel’s Muslim community.“The law to prevent the muezzin’s calls will not pass,” he added.The vote came after Shas announced it would back the legislation, despite earlier reports that it planned to oppose it as part of an understanding between the Haredi and Arab parties under which the Arab factions would abstain on Wednesday’s vote on the coalition’s controversial Basic Law enshrining Torah study as a national value.Ben Gvir has long looked to limit the loudspeakers, and in late 2024, he instructed the police to confiscate speakers from mosques and fine them for noise in a bid to stop the Muslim houses of worship from broadcasting calls to prayer.The far-right minister’s directive was not enforced after pushback from Arab and Muslim leaders as well as the ultra-Orthodox Shas and United Torah Judaism parties.Right-wing lawmakers and activists have spearheaded efforts to muffle mosque loudspeakers over the years. Jewish residents of East Jerusalem and other areas of Israel have long complained about what they say is the excessive noise coming from mosques.Some 20 percent of Israel’s population is Arab, most of them Muslim, making the calls to prayer a familiar sound in many parts of the country.
UN panel warns unchecked AI development may lead to ‘catastrophic’ harm-Experts say progress on AI ‘outpacing’ scientists’ understanding and government regulation, has potential to cause damage on its own or by malicious users By Olivia Le Poidevin 1 July 2026, 5:32 pm
GENEVA, Switzerland (Reuters) — Developments in artificial intelligence are outpacing scientific understanding and government policy, meaning there are no guarantees the technology will not cause catastrophic harm, a United Nations independent panel warned on Wednesday.A preliminary report by the UN’s Independent International Scientific Panel on Artificial Intelligence said policymakers face a growing dilemma: they need robust evidence to regulate AI effectively, yet such evidence is struggling to keep pace with the technology’s rapid evolution.“AI capabilities are outpacing both scientific understanding and governments’ ability to adapt,” said Yoshua Bengio, co-chair of the panel, comprised of 40 cross-regional experts.“With growing evidence of deceptive AI behaviour, science currently cannot guarantee that as capabilities continue to increase, AI will not cause catastrophic harm, either on its own or due to malicious users.”Described as the first global independent assessment of AI’s risks and opportunities, the report aims to give up-to-date evaluations of the science to help guide decision-making as governments contend with fast-evolving systems.In the near term, it expects a shift towards agentic AI systems capable of carrying out real-world tasks, although growth may be constrained by energy and high-quality data shortages. Over time, it foresees self-improving AI embedded more deeply in the economy and converging with technologies such as quantum computing and biotechnology.Agentic AI developing rapidly-AI already demonstrates expert-level reasoning in mathematics and science and is accelerating drug and vaccine development, and its task complexity is doubling every four to seven months, potentially allowing systems to complete work that takes humans days or weeks, according to the report.While this could deliver significant economic benefits, it remains unclear whether productivity gains from using AI will translate into broader growth or affect jobs.The panel also outlined a range of safety concerns, such as the risk of losing control over AI systems as they become increasingly autonomous and deceptive.AI is already being used to generate misinformation and other harmful content and could be exploited for fraud, cyberattacks, and biological threats.Governance remains fragmented, with many countries lacking the capacity to assess or shape advanced AI systems, leaving them reliant on technologies they cannot fully understand or control. Existing safety tools often depend on limited testing data disclosed by companies, the report said.UN Secretary-General António Guterres urged governments to act swiftly.“The world cannot govern what it cannot understand,” Guterres said in a statement.“The potential is great, but the risks are real, and the cost of waiting is rising,” he added.Global political and tech leaders, alongside the United Nations’ digital tech agency, announced on Wednesday the creation of a new commission to address the development of AI amid growing concerns over its potential risks.The AI for Good Global Commission will be co-chaired by Rwanda’s President Paul Kagame and Salesforce CEO Marc Benioff, according to a strategic overview document on the commission’s website. ITU Secretary-General Doreen Bogdan-Martin will be the permanent vice-chair. Other UN agencies are also expected to participate.

Israeli aid delegation, including military advisers, heads to quake-hit Venezuela-FM says move a ‘humanitarian act’ toward country with no diplomatic ties to Israel; group includes engineering professionals, Home Front Command experts; toll rises to over 1,900 By Nava Freiberg and Agencies 1 July 2026, 10:43 amUpdated at 4:52 pm
An Israeli aid delegation set off Tuesday to Venezuela to assist in the aftermath of the powerful earthquakes that struck the South American country, the Foreign Ministry said in a statement. The group, which includes both military and civilian members, will help share “Israel’s expertise and experience in emergency response to help those who need it most,” the ministry said.It came as Venezuelan authorities reported that at least 1,943 people were killed in the quakes, with tens of thousands more still missing, believed trapped under rubble. A United Nations official has said preparations are being made for 10,000 possible fatalities.The Israeli delegation includes engineering professionals and other experts from the Israel Defense Forces Home Front Command, as well as Foreign Ministry representatives. Experts from the National Emergency Management Authority are expected to join the group at a later stage.Foreign Minister Gideon Sa’ar described dispatchment of the group as “a humanitarian act,” noting that Jerusalem and Caracas don’t have official diplomatic ties.“Aid to the people themselves in these difficult moments is not related to politics – this is a humanitarian act,” Sa’ar told visiting Latin American evangelical leaders, according to a statement from his office.Israel’s highly trained search-and-rescue experts regularly respond to natural disasters around the globe. The IDF has in the past sent delegations of dozens of soldiers, complete with specialized equipment and medical gear, to help in disaster zones. The Foreign Ministry gave no indication of how many people were sent to Venezuela.Ambassador Yoed Magen, who grew up in Venezuela, will lead the Foreign Ministry’s activities in the delegation, while the military delegation will be headed by Home Front Command Chief of Staff Brig. Gen. Elad Edri, the ministry said in an earlier statement.Ahead of the delegation’s departure, Magen delivered a message in Spanish to the Venezuelan people.From Israel to Venezuela.

We will share our knowledge, our experience, so that Venezuela can benefit from this,” Magen said.Separately, a number of Israeli nonprofits said last week they were mobilizing to respond to the quakes. Locally, Venezuela’s Jewish community has opened synagogues and community centers to hundreds of frightened, homeless survivors.IsraAid said Wednesday that it had arrived in Venezuela and was working in Caracas and La Guaira.It said it was conducting rapid needs assessments with local partners, distributing urgent aid supplies, installing water filters, and providing mental health and protection support and guidance in affected communities.On Tuesday, the aid group’s team installed emergency water filters and ran emotional support and wellbeing sessions for children at a displaced persons’ camp housing 700 people in La Guaira, the area worst affected by the earthquakes.The IsraAid team on the ground includes experts from its mission in neighboring Colombia and its global Emergency Response Team.Venezuela broke diplomatic ties with Israel over Operation Cast Lead in Gaza in 2008-2009, and under then-leader Nicolas Maduro, it has been one of the world’s most vocal countries in its opposition to Israel’s conduct in the war in Gaza sparked by Hamas’s October 7, 2023, terror invasion.However, Israel has expressed hope for better ties with Caracas since the US captured Maduro in January.Israeli disaster relief delegations provided rescue and medical services after an earthquake in Turkey in 1999, an earthquake in Haiti in 2010, a typhoon in the Philippines in 2013, an earthquake in Nepal in 2015, and an earthquake in Mexico City in 2017.Three-year-old plucked from rubble as hopes fade for more rescues-Venezuela was hit by two earthquakes of magnitudes 7.2 and 7.5, less than a minute apart, last Wednesday, toppling buildings and trapping thousands of people beneath the rubble, according to authorities and rescue teams.Fatalities stand at 1,943, lawmaker Jorge Rodriguez said on Tuesday, adding that the number of injured almost doubled to 10,571.Jordanian emergency workers rescued a child early on Tuesday, the only reported survivor on the sixth day of rescue efforts, according to Venezuelan authorities.Klieber Moran was pulled from the Los Corales Garden 1 building in La Guaira state after spending six days trapped under the rubble, Venezuela’s acting President Delcy Rodriguez said in a message via Telegram.Video footage showed rescue workers cheering upon discovering the child, who had miraculously survived.???????? Miracle in Venezuela. Jordanian rescuers pulled 3-year-old alive from the rubble of a collapsed building. SIX FULL DAYS after the devastating twin earthquakes. HEROES! Writer: Solpic.twitter.com/GVgbmHZgFJ Advertisement — Mario Nawfal (@MarioNawfal) June 30, 2026-The boy received first aid and was immediately taken to the hospital, the Jordanian civil defense said in a statement. The infant’s vital signs were good, the statement said, adding that local authorities had been informed of the rescue.In other footage, rescue workers could be seen wiping the boy’s face with tissues and tucking him in with a blanket in an ambulance.Moran was described as three years old by Rodriguez, but as two years old by National Assembly President Jorge Rodriguez.“We must hold onto the hope of continuing to find people alive beneath the rubble,” Jorge said in a televised address. “Early this morning, a 2-year-old boy was rescued and is currently receiving care at a health center in Caracas.”Tragically, rescue teams from Ecuador and the US halted operations in the early hours of Tuesday at a site in Macuto, a town in La Guaira, when they stopped receiving responses from a mother and her three children trapped beneath a nine-story building after more than 40 hours of trying to get them out.“In the end, we believe the days have already passed and that what we will find now is death,” said Major Jorge Montanero, leader of the EQ11 team from Guayaquil, located on Ecuador’s Pacific coast.“Unfortunately, things haven’t developed favorably,” he said as he stood amid rubble after cutting through four concrete slabs of the building in an effort to locate the four victims.‘10,000 body bags’Tens of thousands of people remain missing two days after the critical 72-hour survival window, the International Rescue Committee (IRC) said in a statement. After that period, survival chances drop sharply.“The scale of the response does not meet the scale of humanitarian need,” the IRC said.A shipment from UNICEF carrying 47 metric tons of humanitarian supplies arrived in Venezuela on Tuesday, UN spokesperson Stephane Dujarric said, adding the equipment would help support children and families in need.The shipment includes emergency health kits for urgent medical care, including supplies for safe births, newborn care, disease prevention, and treatment, Dujarric added.Some 59,000 buildings were damaged or destroyed by the twin earthquakes, according to NASA estimates. The widespread devastation can be seen from space.Not all collapsed buildings have had professional rescue teams on site, with relatives and neighbors working to remove debris to pull out survivors or bodies, according to residents from various areas.“There is no doubt we are facing a figure higher than what has already been reported. I can offer an estimate: we are procuring — and this has been agreed with local authorities — 10,000 body bags,” Gianluca Rampolla, the United Nations’ resident coordinator in Venezuela, said on Monday from his Caracas office.
