The Pennsylvania man accused of torching a Brooklyn rabbi’s home appeared in court on Sunday night — smiling from ear-to-ear — after getting hit with attempted murder and arson charges.
Matthew Karelefsky, 41, didn’t appear to have a care in the world as he was arraigned in Brooklyn Criminal Court and remanded into custody.
Wearing a white t-shirt, black pants and sneakers, the McKeesport resident only spoke twice — when the judge issued a full order of protection for Rabbi Jonathan Max, whom he allegedly targeted last week.
Asked if he understood the terms and had any questions, Karelefsky said: “Yes, your honor” and then “No, your honor.”

An Israeli company that specializes in helping law enforcement agencies break into cellphones announced it has found a way to break into any iPhone ever made, as well as many Android phones.
The Petah Tikva-based Cellebrite was reportedly the company the FBI used in 2016 to hack into the iPhone of the San Bernardino shooter after Apple refused the US government’s request to build a backdoor into its famously secure operating system.
The announcement from Cellebrite came in the form of an update this week to its website promoting the iPhone-hacking technology, dubbed “UFED Premium,” as “the only on-premise solution for law enforcement agencies to unlock and extract crucial mobile phone evidence from all iOS and high-end Android devices.”

Former Prime Minister Ehud Olmert spoke on Sunday at the Jerusalem Post conference in New York, and was not particularly concerned by the Iranian nuclear program.
“I doubt there will be a military confrontation,” Olmert said in wake of the recent tensions between Tehran and Washington. “We saw in the past that this is a brilliant strategy that the American president adopted. He brings the atmosphere to tension to the point where it seems very threatening in order to force the other party to sit down for negotiations. It happened with North Korea, and he ended up being Kim Jong Un’s friend.”

Hamas on Monday confirmed that millions of Qatari aid dollars had entered the Gaza Strip for distribution to needy families, claiming that a new phase of understandings with Israel was now underway, Ynet reported.

Palestinian media also reported that a delegation of Qatari technical experts was in the strip to meet with the Energy Ministry’s Deputy Chairman Samir Muttair. The team is reportedly to begin work on installing a new electricity line aimed at improving Gaza’s electricity supply.

WATCH:

Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu vowed Israel will not let Iran obtain a nuclear weapon, as Tehran says it will break the uranium stockpile limit set by the nuclear deal with world powers in the next 10 days.
“Today Iran threatened to enrich its uranium beyond the limits of the nuclear deal — this does not surprise us,” says Netanyahu. “In the event it acts upon its threats and violates the nuclear deal, the international community must immediately impose the sanctions that were set previously.
