New anti-Hamas protests broke out in the Gaza Strip today. “The world must know, the people of Gaza are not Hamas,” demonstrators chanted.

Undercover Border Police officers from Yehuda and Shomron, guided by the Shin Bet, arrested a wanted terrorist affiliated with the “Lions’ Den” terror organization during an operation in Nablus. The terrorist attempted to flee, was shot in the lower body, and taken into custody.

Leaflets scattered over Deir al-Balah in central Gaza identify local terrorists by name. “Be aware of those near you. They cause destruction and suffering. Expel them to secure a brighter future.”

During a visit to the Gaza Strip this morning, IDF Chief of Staff Lt. Gen. Eyal Zamir says the fighting is “not a forever war… We are intensifying our activity in accordance with the orderly plan. Hamas is under tremendous pressure; it has lost most of its assets and its command and control,” Zamir says during a tour of Khan Younis with Southern Command chief Maj. Gen. Yaniv Asor.

In recent days, the United States has appealed to Israel to hold off on launching a full-fledged ground invasion of Gaza, according to two individuals with knowledge of the situation who spoke with The Jerusalem Post on Sunday. The appeal is rooted in Washington’s desire to give diplomatic efforts surrounding a potential hostage release more time to bear fruit.
The Biden administration’s request reportedly involved two central elements: holding back on an expansive ground campaign and allowing negotiations to unfold concurrently with military actions already underway.

Israel’s National Security Council (NSC) on Sunday raised the travel warning for Canada from Level 1 (“General Precaution”) to Level 2 (“Increased Threat”), citing a disturbing rise in terrorist threats and anti-Israel sentiment directed at Jews and Israelis living or visiting the country. According to the NSC, the updated advisory comes in response to “a growing threat posed by terrorist actors targeting Jews and Israelis in Canada.” Over the past 18 months, there have been a series of concerning incidents, including attacks on Jewish institutions and targeted acts of violence against visibly Jewish individuals. The NSC said that “radicalized elements” within Canada have been emboldened by recent global events and appear to be intensifying their rhetoric and actions.

The latest cutoff date set by the Trump administration for New York Governor Kathy Hochul to pull the plug on the city’s congestion pricing policy has passed without any action.
Despite federal pressure, the city’s network of monitoring cameras is still fully operational, and the congestion pricing system remains in place.
Trump administration representatives had notified Hochul that failing to disable the cameras by Wednesday could lead to New York being stripped of federal funding and warned that the government “may implement compliance actions as soon as May 28.”
However, Hochul’s office refused to back down.
“Congestion pricing is lawful — and it’s effective. Traffic is down, business is up, and the cameras are staying on,” a spokesperson said.

Agam Berger, who was held hostage by Hamas for over a year, met with French Foreign Minister Jean-Noel Barrot, expressing deep skepticism about the effectiveness of diplomatic efforts in dealing with Hamas, according to Israeli news outlets.
“If it were possible not to choose war, we wouldn’t choose it. But the moment there is a war for the survival of our land, that’s what we will do,” she said.
Berger emphasized that the ideological and operational goals of Hamas leave no room for peaceful coexistence. “They [Hamas] don’t want ‘togetherness.’ All the diplomatic solutions – I don’t know what to call it – it won’t work because it’s either us or them.”
