Fox News host Mark Levin and Harvard Professor Emeritus Alan Dershowitz delivered tore into Harvard University on Sunday night, accusing the Ivy League institution of harboring “anti-Americanism, anti-Semitism, and anti-Zionism” while applauding President Donald Trump for taking action to hold universities accountable. Appearing on Fox News’ Life, Liberty & Levin, Dershowitz condemned Harvard’s lawsuit against the Trump administration over a recent federal funding freeze. Harvard claims the freeze threatens critical research and represents an unconstitutional attempt to “micromanage” higher education. Dershowitz called the university’s defense a farce.

On Sunday night, Congressman Mike Lawler faced a loud and hostile crowd during a town hall at Clarkstown South High School, an event open to residents of New York’s 17th Congressional District. A Monsey Scoop reporter was present and witnessed the repeated booing, shouting, and disruptions that dominated much of the evening. The town hall, held April 27th, was part of Lawler’s ongoing efforts to engage directly with constituents. Throughout the event, Lawler remained composed as he took questions on a range of topics, including immigration, foreign aid, and antisemitism, even as many attendees grew increasingly combative.

A violent home invasion turned deadly in Woodland Hills, a neighborhood in Los Angeles, last weekend, leaving an Israeli-American man dead and three suspects behind bars following an investigation by the LAPD and FBI. Just after 1 a.m. Saturday morning, officers were dispatched to the 22200 block of De La Osa Street after receiving reports of a death. When they arrived, they found a harrowing scene: 47-year-old Aleksandre Modebadze lying lifeless inside the home, the victim of a brutal assault. Paramedics declared him dead at the scene, citing a severe head injury. Detectives launched an immediate investigation, uncovering chilling details. According to police, three suspects had broken into Modebadze’s home, held him captive, and assaulted him before fleeing into the night.

During a meeting between Israeli PM Binyamin Netanyahu and this year’s Yom Ha’atzmaut torch-lighters on Monday, Sara Netanyahu was heard whispering that fewer than 24 hostages in Gaza remain alive, a video released by the Prime Minister’s Office shows. “There are up to 24 alive, up to 24 alive,” the prime minister said while referencing the 59 hostages believed to still be in captivity. Sitting beside him, Sara Netanyahu was heard quietly whispering, “less,” prompting the prime minister to add, “I say up to, and the rest of course unfortunately are not alive, and we will return them.” Until now, the government has avoided publicly specifying how many hostages are thought to still be alive.

Newly uncovered Hamas documents found in Gaza reveal a devastating miscalculation by Israeli leadership: the terror group saw the 2021 Operation Guardian of the Walls not as a setback, but as a resounding victory — a misreading that emboldened Hamas to launch the brutal October 7 attacks more than two years later, according to a Channel 12 report. At the time, Prime Minister Binyamin Netanyahu heralded the 11-day operation as an “extraordinary success,” vowing that Hamas had been severely weakened and that Israel’s deterrence had been restored. But internal letters exchanged between Hamas’s then-Gaza chief Yahya Sinwar and the group’s leader Ismail Haniyeh tell a different story — one of the terror group’s triumph, long-term deception, and preparation for a far deadlier assault.

Attorney-General Gali Baharav-Miara was forced to reach a compromise with National Security Minister Itamar Ben-Gvir after realizing that her claims that it is “illegal” for him to serve as minister will not be accepted by the Supreme Court, Ynet reported on Tuesday. When Ben-Gvir announced in March that his Otzma Yehudit party is returning to the government following the resumption of the war in Gaza, Baharav-Miara lost no time in announcing that it is “illegal” for him to do so. Following her announcement, left-wing organizations filed petitions to the Supreme Court against his return to the government.

The IDF and Shin Bet eliminated three senior terrorists in the Gaza Strip over the past week, the IDF spokesperson revealed on Tuesday. One of the terrorists was Sa’id Abu Hasnan, a Nukhba terrorist who led the October 7 massacre in the Kissufim kibbutz in the Gaza border area. The second eliminated terrorist was Ali Naddal Husni Sarfiti, a member of the Popular Front for the Liberation of Palestine terror organization in the Gaza Strip. Sarfiti is a former security prisoner who served time in Israel from 2002 to 2015 for terror activities, including planning a suicide bombing attack in Israel.

The IDF is preparing to significantly expand the military operation in the Gaza Strip, including a large-scale mobilization of reserve brigades. The decision was made by the government following demands by senior cabinet ministers and due to the lack of progress in hostage deal negotiations. Ministers have been pushing for the government’s immediate approval of an expanded military operation in Gaza, but the decision was delayed by Prime Minister Binyamin Netanyahu and Defense Minister Yisrael Katz in order to first exhaust diplomatic efforts for a hostage release deal. An Israeli political source denied a report by Reuters on Monday evening quoting Egyptian officials as saying that there was “significant progress” in the talks currently taking place in Cairo.

Shin Bet chief Ronen Bar, who refused to step down after the government unanimously voted to fire him, announced on Monday evening that he will resign from his position on June 15. Bar’s refusal to heed the democratically elected government, supported by the Supreme Court and Attorney-General Gali Baharav-Biara [despite a conflict of interest due to personal ties with him], was a shocking and unprecedented move, especially as the head of the agency that bore the most responsiblity for the failure to prevent the October 7 massacre. Communications Minister Shlomo Karhi responded to the announcement by stating: “Ronen Bar…the government fired you on April 10. Your attempt to hold onto your position is a crime against state security! You’ve done enough damage.
