Minister Yitzchok Wasserlauf of the Otzma Yehudit party has made clear that he and his fellow party members will not back any initiative that would place the historic Tiferes Yisroel Shul under the control of groups who might choose to eliminate tefillos for the welfare of IDF soldiers from the services held there.
In a statement posted to social media, Waserlauf said, “I grew up in the Jewish Quarter of Yerushalayim, on the ruins of the historic Tiferes Yisroel Shul. Words cannot describe the emotion I felt when I first entered the restored synagogue building. In the government’s Yerushalayim decision, I, along with others, worked for the restoration and rehabilitation of this important shul.”

Syrian media is reporting that the body of American journalist Austin Tice has been discovered buried in a cemetery located in Aleppo. Tice had been missing for over ten years, and this development marks a possible end to a case that has haunted the journalism and diplomatic communities.
Tice, a decorated Marine veteran turned freelance reporter, was abducted during the summer of 2012 while documenting the devastation of Syria’s civil war. The incident occurred near a checkpoint situated to the west of Damascus, after which all contact with him ceased.
Throughout the years, both U.S. officials and Tice’s family have steadfastly held on to hope, asserting that he remained alive despite the passage of time and lack of concrete updates.
