Almost three-fourths of U.S. voters say antisemitism is a serious problem, according to a poll released on Wednesday.
In the Quinnipiac University survey, 73% of voters described prejudice against Jews as a very serious or somewhat serious problem, compared with 28% who said it wasn’t a serious problem or no problem at all.
And by 49% to 36%, they disapproved of the way U.S. President Donald Trump was handling Jew-hatred.
Recent incidents of violence against Jews heightened concerns about the rise in antisemitism, which has spiked since the Hamas-led terror attacks in southern Israel on Oct. 7, 2023.

Qatar has submitted a revised draft proposal to Israel, created in coordination with Hamas, that draws on the plan developed by US Middle East envoy Steve Witkoff, according to two individuals with knowledge of the process who spoke to The Jerusalem Post on Thursday.
Israel’s security cabinet was scheduled to meet Thursday evening to evaluate the Qatari proposal. According to the sources, should the cabinet determine that the new terms represent a potential path forward, Israeli officials might dispatch a negotiating team to either Qatar or Egypt to continue the discussions.

CAN’T MAKE THIS UP! Chuck Schumer is “sickened” by Alex Padilla getting removed from a briefing he forcibly interrupted but not by the violent riots attacking ICE agents in major cities? Dems will keep losing elections.

NY GOV. HOCHUL: “If Tom Homan comes to Albany to arrest me, I’ll say, ‘go for it.’ You can’t intimidate a governor.” ILL. GOV. PRITZKER: “He can try. I will stand in the way of Tom Homan.”

Finance Minister Bezalel Smotrich approved the allocation of 91 million shekels from the previously withheld Palestinian Authority funds in Israel, redirecting them to Israeli families impacted by terrorism.
This move marks one of several economic measures Smotrich has initiated targeting the Palestinian Authority. A new system was implemented under his direction at the Finance Ministry, enabling Israel to bypass the frozen status of the PA’s tax revenue by deducting amounts owed to Israel — including financial compensation for families of terror victims and substantial unpaid bills to the Israel Electric Corporation.

Defense Secretary Pete Hegseth appeared to acknowledge that the Pentagon has developed plans to take over Greenland and Panama by force if necessary but refused to answer repeated questions at a hotly combative congressional hearing Thursday about his use of Signal chats to discuss military operations. Democratic members of the House Armed Services Committee repeatedly got into heated exchanges with Hegseth, with some of the toughest lines of questioning coming from military veterans as many demanded yes or no answers and he tried to avoid direct responses about his actions as Pentagon chief. In one back-and-forth, Hegseth did provide an eyebrow-raising answer. Rep. Adam Smith, D-Wash., asked whether the Pentagon has developed plans to take Greenland or Panama by force if necessary.
