Israeli Prime Minister Binyamin Netanyahu’s son, Yair, praised President Donald Trump during an interview on American television, lauding Trump as the “best friend” Israel has ever had in the White House, citing the president’s decision to relocate the US embassy in Israel to Yerushalayim and the decision to recognize Israeli sovereignty over the Golan Heights.
“President Trump is the best friend that Israel and the Jewish people ever had in the White House,” Netanyahu told BlazeTV during an interview Monday night.

A passenger aboard a Pakistani airliner couldn’t hold it in before takeoff in the UK, so she scurried to the toilet, but accidentally opened the emergency exit door — causing the slide to deploy, according to reports.
Pakistan International Airlines Flight 702, which was prepared for an on-time departure from Manchester to Islamabad on Friday night, ended up being delayed by almost eight hours, according to the Independent of the UK.
The woman, who ignored the seatbelt signs, mistakenly opened the door at the rear of the plane, adjacent to the toilet, while all the doors were “armed,” meaning the emergency evacuation slides were set to deploy.

Mispallelim arriving at a Bnei Brak shul Tuesday morning discovered the Aron HaKodesh was broken into and four sifrei Torah were stolen. A fifth Sefer Torah had been thrown on the floor, along with a sefer nevi’im.
“We’re in shock, we don’t understand what happened here, we have no direction,” the gabbai told Kikar Shabbos. “It seems like the thieves knew where they were. They knew which scrolls they wanted, they left the not-so-nice old one, they left the sefer nevi’im on the floor. A thief who’s not familiar with it would have taken everything.”

Yisrael Beytenu Chairman Avigdor Liberman asserted Tuesday that the next government would be a “charedi government” that would act for religious coercion.
“The current election campaign revolves around one issue: Will the rightist bloc become a charedi bloc, with Yisrael Beytenu outside the coalition, or will a national, right and liberal government be formed with Yisrael Beytenu?” Liberman said.
“The only one in a right-wing coalition that can stop this madness is Yisrael Beytenu. Only we can prevent a situation in which a right-wing government is being blackmailed by  charedim.”

Google made $4.7 billion from news sites in 2018, according to new research from the News Media Alliance, a trade association representing newspapers in the U.S. and Canada.
News content makes up between 16 percent and 40 percent of Google results, according to the study, and the company’s revenue from distributing news content is only $400 million less than the $5.1 billion the entire U.S. news industry brought in from digital advertising in 2018.
Between January 2017 and January 2018, traffic from Google to news publisher sites increased more than 25 percent to about 1.6 billion visits per week.

Early this morning, the Jewish nation lost a giant, Reb Shlomo Cheshin zt”l, a tzaddik with whom I merited to have a close relationship since the early days of my youth. It is with a broken heart and tear-filled eyes that I write these words of tribute and reflection about a singular figure whose passing has left a gigantic hole in the heart of our nation.
 
While a google search of this tzaddik’s name yields no results and his renown reached only a limited demographic, Reb Shlomo Cheshin zt”l was well known to many broken souls whose lives he singularly transformed. Who was this remarkable man, and what is his legacy?

Prime Minister Shinzo Abe will meet Iranian Supreme Leader Ayatollah Ali Khamenei and President Hassan Rouhani on a visit this week that aims at easing regional tension, in what experts called a rare, bold move for a Japanese leader.
Tension between Iran and the United States has escalated recently, a year after Washington pulled out of a deal between Iran and global powers to curb Tehran’s nuclear program in return for lifting sanctions.
Abe’s trip, scheduled from Wednesday to Friday, is the first by an incumbent Japanese premier to Iran in 41 years, although Tokyo and Tehran have friendly ties and mark the 90th anniversary of diplomatic relations this year.

An interview with a former Israeli nuclear official is presented as support that Israel may have resorted to using a nuclear bomb in the Six Day War.
Published by the Nonproliferation Review, the interview features Elie Geisler, who served at Dimona’s nuclear research center from 1964 to 1966 and was assigned to guard a “radioactive package” before and during the 1967 War.
Hurriedly commissioned as an army officer, he was sent to a police compound south of Tel Aviv with a platoon of police border guards to guard a metal box containing a metallic half-sphere and to check it periodically for radiation leakage. Other cores were placed in other locations, he was told.
