The Trump administration has called on nations to steer clear of an upcoming United Nations conference in New York that will focus on the possibility of a two-state resolution to the Israeli-Palestinian conflict, according to a report by Reuters.
A classified diplomatic message, dated June 10, warned that any country taking steps against Israel following the conference could be viewed as acting in opposition to American diplomatic objectives. The cable suggested that such actions might carry consequences for those countries’ relationships with the United States.
The communication made it clear that Washington remains strongly opposed to any move to recognize a Palestinian state outside of a negotiated process.

Rav Aharon Teitelbaum, the Satmar Rebbe of Kiryas Yoel, is preparing to visit Israel this week, marking a decade since his last trip to the country.
He will be flying in on a privately arranged charter, joined by a large group of Chassidim traveling from the U.S. and various other countries to accompany him.
The itinerary for the trip features several major milestones, including the dedication of a new girls’ school in Bnei Brak, along with an event connected to the ongoing development of a Satmar complex in Yerushalayim.

Argentinian President Javier Milei delivered remarks to the Knesset on Wednesday evening, during which he revealed that Argentina plans to move its embassy to Yerushalayim in 2026.
Knesset Speaker Amir Ochana formally greeted President Milei, calling his presence in the Knesset a “historic moment” for bilateral ties between the two nations.
“It is a tremendous honor for me to host, together with you, dear Members of Knesset, the greatest friend the State of Israel and the Jewish people have ever had in the Casa Rosada and in Argentina – President Javier Milei,” Ochana said.

Elon Musk’s recent apology for his sharp criticism of President Trump appears to have landed well with the commander-in-chief. In a short phone call Wednesday morning, Trump told The Post, “I thought it was very nice that he did that,” though he declined to say whether he was ready to reconcile with the tech mogul.

In the wake of the shocking desecration and arson attack at his shul, former Rishon LeTzion Rav Yitzchok Yosef has departed for Canada as part of an emergency chizuk mission on behalf of Eretz Yisroel and the Olam HaTorah.
The rov traveled on a private plane discreetly donated by one of the leading philanthropists who regularly supports Torah institutions.
The mission comes just days after the deliberate burning of the beis medrash where Rav Yosef delivers shiurim. Surveillance footage from the scene reportedly showed the suspect targeting the rov‘s seat, pouring flammable liquid, igniting it, and fleeing.

Dear Matzav Inbox,
We hear it all the time, and we’ve repeated it to our children as if it were a goal to strive for, an ideal to pursue: Torah ugedulah, or as it’s often called, Torah ugedulah b’makom echad.
The image is powerful: a person immersed in the depths of Torah, while also commanding influence, wealth, status, and worldly success.
It sounds noble. It sounds inspiring. It also happens to be, for the most part, a fantasy.

Greta Thunberg, the Swedish career protestor and climate agitator, returned to Europe on Tuesday evening following her deportation from Israel. Thunberg had been part of a flotilla attempting to challenge Israel’s naval blockade of Gaza. After arriving in Paris, she spoke to journalists and reiterated her condemnation of Israel’s actions toward Palestinian Arabs while urging broader efforts to support humanitarian relief for Gaza.
In comments published by The Associated Press, Thunberg demanded that the remaining detained participants of the Madleen flotilla be released. She noted that the conditions they encountered during their maritime protest were “absolutely nothing compared to what people are going through in Palestine and especially Gaza right now.”

The worldwide Jewish population grew by 870,000 in the decade from 2010 to 2020, according to the Pew Research Center’s global religion survey released this week.
The analysis of worldwide religious trends looked at self-reported religious belief, except in Israel, where the surveyors used the government’s population register.
“The number of Jews around the world grew by 6%, from an estimated 14 million in 2010 to nearly 15 million in 2020,” the researchers wrote. “That’s fewer than the estimated 16.6 million Jews who were alive in 1939 prior to the Holocaust.”
Those numbers notably exclude those who might identify ethnically as Jewish but who report being religiously unaffiliated, agnostic or atheist.

President Trump announced early Wednesday that the United States had finalized a trade arrangement with China following a stretch of intense negotiations held in London.
“Our deal with China is done, subject to final approval with President Xi and me,” Trump declared on Truth Social, using all capital letters. “Full magnets, and any necessary rare earths, will be supplied, up front, by China.”
“Likewise, we will provide to China what was agreed to, including Chinese students using our colleges and universities (which has always been good with me!). We are getting a total of 55% tariffs, China is getting 10%. The relationship is excellent! Thank you for your attention to this matter!”

Elon Musk issued a public apology on social media for comments he made last week targeting President Donald Trump, admitting that some of his remarks were overly severe.
“I regret some of my posts about President Donald Trump last week. They went too far,” Musk shared in a post on X.
Tensions between Musk and Trump ignited when Musk blasted the president’s budget plan and expressed concerns over how it might harm the electric car sector. Musk even resurfaced older statements made by Trump about the national debt and followed them up with mocking commentary.
