IDF Chief of Staff Eyal Zamir delivered a powerful address on Thursday during a special ceremony hosted by President Isaac Herzog to recognize exemplary soldiers, with much of his focus on the war against Hamas in Gaza.
Directing a clear message to Hamas, Zamir declared, “The Hamas terrorists still hold fifty-nine of our brothers and sisters. But they too know, their safety is not forever! The IDF is ready and prepared to strike them a decisive blow. We will use all the strength at our disposal, increase the pace of operations, and intensify their power.”
He underscored that the military is fully prepared to act, stating, “If necessary, we will do so soon, with determination and confidence in the righteousness of our path.”

An unearthed audio recording featuring the voices of Egyptian leader Gamal Abdel Nasser, Libyan strongman Muammar Gaddafi, and other prominent Arab figures was made public on Monday, sparking widespread discourse throughout Egypt. The tape, reportedly dated August 4, 1970—just weeks before Nasser passed away—has reignited interest in the late president’s private conversations.
During the conversation, Nasser is heard admitting that the Arab nations do not possess the military strength to go head-to-head with Israel. “The Jews are superior to us in everything—better than us on land and better than us at sea. If we want to achieve a goal, we need to be realistic and understand how to get there,” Nasser says.

“I would argue,” Walz told attendees, “because we did a lot of amazing progressive things in Minnesota that improved people’s lives, but I also was on the ticket, quite honestly, you know, because I could code talk to white guys watching football fixing their truck, doing that, that I could put them at ease.”
He continued, “I was the permission structure,” adding, “to say, Look, you can do this and vote for this.”

Kamala Harris made a rare public appearance Wednesday night, using her platform to sharply criticize President Trump — before unexpectedly pivoting to a story about elephants reacting to an earthquake.
Speaking at the Emerge 20th anniversary gala in San Francisco, the former vice president began by addressing the uncertain political climate. “A lot of folks are wondering what’s going to guide us through this moment. How are we all going to figure out how to chart the course,” Harris said. Then she added, “Please allow me, friends, to digress for a moment.”

Israeli law enforcement officials have challenged Prime Minister Bibi Netanyahu’s recent remarks regarding the number of people taken into custody over suspected arson in the Yerushalayim hills.
