Israel’s Memorial Day, Yom Hazikaron, opened this afternoon with a solemn ceremony at Yad Labanim, honoring fallen soldiers and victims of terror.

The Israeli military is reportedly preparing to ramp up its ground operations in Gaza, according to a report from Kan News on Tuesday.
This escalation comes as a result of ongoing frustration over stalled efforts to reach a deal for the release of hostages, prompting both military and government leaders to chart a more aggressive course of action.
Thousands of reservists have already received advance notice of impending activation. Most of those contacted are part of infantry and armored divisions expected to take part in new combat deployments. However, this is not being classified as an emergency mobilization.

White House Press Secretary Karoline Leavitt lashed out at Amazon on Tuesday, accusing the online retail giant of siding with Beijing after it was reported that the company plans to mark items with a surcharge label due to new tariffs. She condemned the decision as politically motivated and confrontational.
“This is a hostile and political act by Amazon,” Leavitt stated during a White House press briefing, as reported by Fox News. “Why didn’t Amazon do this when the Biden administration hiked inflation to the highest level in 40 years?”

Rabbi Moshe Azman, the chief rabbi of Ukraine, has composed a song addressed to President Donald Trump, urging him to take action to help end the war between Russia and Ukraine. His message calls on Trump to become a champion of peace, encouraging him to “fight in the name of light.”
In a post on X published Monday, Rabbi Azman wrote, “My appeal to @POTUS Donald Trump President of the United States of America to help Ukraine achieve a just and lasting peace.” He paired the message with video footage showing Russian missile attacks on Kyiv on April 24, which reportedly resulted in the deaths of 12 people, according to RBC-Ukraine.
The chorus of Rabbi Azman’s composition delivers a pointed plea: “Donald Trump, it’s time to fight in the name of light.”

During the initial 100 days of President Trump’s administration, only nine illegal immigrants were permitted entry into the United States, according to border enforcement leader Tom Homan. In stark contrast, under then-President Biden during the same timeframe the previous year, that number skyrocketed to 184,000.
These eye-opening statistics were released as the administration touted a virtually complete elimination of “gotaways” — migrants who evaded capture at the border — which the White House described as “the top threat to public safety.”
“In that same time frame that we released nine, [the Biden administration] released 184,000 illegal aliens in the country,” Homan stated during an appearance Tuesday morning on “Fox and Friends.”

A newly released White House memo reveals that President Donald Trump’s economic performance in the early days of his second administration has been overshadowed by the ongoing conversation around tariffs. According to the administration, robust job creation and falling prices across key industries have marked the first 100 days since his inauguration on January 20.
In an economic progress report issued by the Council of Economic Advisers, the Trump administration highlighted several indicators that they say demonstrate a strengthening economy. “345,000 jobs created, including 188,000 (54%) neither government nor government-adjacent,” the memo states, listing a breakdown of employment growth across multiple sectors.

Michelle Obama voiced deep concern about President Donald Trump’s immigration enforcement policies during her appearance on the On Purpose with Jay Shetty podcast.
Speaking alongside her brother, Craig Robinson, Obama reflected on the challenges they faced regarding racial issues growing up. When asked about the most difficult recent moment tied to those fears, she pointed directly to the current climate surrounding immigration.
“In this current climate, for me it’s, you know, what’s happening to immigrants,” she said, noting that while her own safety is less of a concern today due to her public profile, she remains worried for those without such protection.

A young chareidi man who had been classified as a deserter for the past two years recently showed up at an IDF draft office seeking to enlist, but instead of being inducted, the IDF placed him under arrest and sent him to a military prison.
According to a report by journalist Yinon Shalom Yitach for i24news, the young man comes from a community where the idea of joining the IDF is virtually unimaginable. Nevertheless, when he voluntarily presented himself at the draft office in an attempt to enlist, the IDF refused to immediately process his induction and insisted that standard procedures be followed.
