In a sweeping operation conducted by the Tel Aviv District Police’s central unit, five individuals were arrested Monday—including a resident of Bnei Brak and a member of a known crime syndicate—on suspicion of serious financial crimes. The allegations include large-scale money laundering, conspiracy to commit a felony, operating illegal gambling businesses, income tax violations, and running an unlicensed financial services operation.

Congresswoman Elise Stefanik, chair of the House Republican Conference, has endorsed Nachman Caller in the special election for New York State Senate, delivering a significant boost to the Republican candidate just 12 hours before polls open. In a robocall sent to voters in the 22nd Senate District, Stefanik said Caller “will stop Governor Hochul and the radical liberal politicians in Albany.” Caller, a longtime real estate attorney and community leader from Borough Park, is running on the Republican and Conservative lines to fill the Brooklyn seat vacated earlier this year. The district includes the frum neighborhoods of Borough Park, Midwood, Flatbush, and Marine Park. The State Senate plays a key role in shaping policy on education, housing, taxes, healthcare, and public safety.

A serious kashrus concern has emerged in Houston, and travelers — particularly those attending conventions, conferences, or receiving airline-style meals — are urged to exercise extreme caution. A restaurant previously known as Genesis Steakhouse and now as Exodus Bar & Grill, is reportedly distributing food with misleading “kosher” labeling, despite no longer being under any kosher certification and now operating as a fully non-kosher establishment. The restaurant in question was previously certified by the Houston Kashruth Association (HKA), but the certification was terminated following kashrus violations, according to individuals familiar with the matter.

President Trump expressed disbelief on Monday over how it was possible that Joe Biden’s advanced prostate cancer wasn’t identified until after he had left the White House. He criticized the people involved in Biden’s medical oversight, suggesting key facts had been hidden from the public.
“I’m surprised the public wasn’t notified a long time ago,” Trump stated while speaking to reporters during an Oval Office media appearance—his first public comment on Biden’s diagnosis.
“This is dangerous for our country,” Trump said, voicing his concerns about the implications of the delayed disclosure.
“There are things going on that the public wasn’t informed on,” he continued, highlighting what he sees as a troubling lack of transparency.

Veteran staffers who worked with President Joe Biden expressed shock on Monday after learning that he has stage 4 prostate cancer, telling The Post they believe the disease could have been identified much earlier—if not for fears about how it might affect public perception.
“I do believe that they felt like something was going on, and were worried about it and kind of hedged around it for a little bit,” said a White House insider who had close contact with Biden, 82.

After President Donald Trump’s office released news on Sunday that Joe Biden has been diagnosed with a serious, fast-moving prostate cancer that has already spread to his bones, Donald Trump Jr. initially responded with a note of sympathy. But that tone didn’t last long.
Within hours, Trump Jr. shifted sharply, turning to X to post, “What I want to know is how did Dr. Jill Biden miss stage five metastatic cancer or is this yet another coverup???” This came just after he had publicly encouraged people to put politics aside and wish Biden a swift recovery.

President Donald Trump continues to express full confidence in the medical staff assigned to the White House, even as speculation swirls around whether those same physicians might have failed to detect prostate cancer in Joe Biden during his time in office.
During a media briefing on Monday, White House Press Secretary Karoline Leavitt reaffirmed that President Trump is in strong health and maintains full faith in his medical care. Her remarks come amid growing questions following Biden’s announcement over the weekend that he has been diagnosed with advanced, stage 4 prostate cancer—a disease that typically progresses over many years before detection.

President Donald Trump revealed Monday that both Ukraine and Russia are set to enter talks to pursue a ceasefire, hinting that the Vatican might serve as a neutral ground for the discussions.
He posted on Truth Social shortly after spending two hours on a call with Russian President Vladimir Putin, stating that the call had been productive. “Russia and Ukraine will immediately start negotiations toward a Ceasefire and, more importantly, an END to the War,” Trump wrote.
He clarified that the specifics of any agreement would have to be worked out solely by the two countries involved. “The conditions for that will be negotiated between the two parties, as it can only be, because they know details of a negotiation that nobody else would be aware of,” he added.
