A report was received on Monday at the Israel Police hotline about a suspicious person working as a security guard in a mall in the city of Harish in northern Israel. Police officers, who arrived at the site immediately after receiving the report, detained the security guard and, upon inspection, discovered that he was a resident of the Palestinian Authority who had illegally entered Israel. The suspect, a 34-year-old resident of Umm al-Rihan, a village near Jenin, was transferred for questioning at the police station and was later imprisoned. The police have opened an investigation against the employer on suspicion of employing an illegal alien as well as employing someone without security credentials as a security guard.

Argentine President Javier Milei, an ohev yisroel and staunch supporter of the State of Israel, presented Prime Minister Binyamin Netanyahu with a deeply meaningful gift: a painting of the Prime Minister together with the Lubavitcher Rebbe. The gift, delivered during the leaders’ meeting in Jerusalem, resonated personally with Netanyahu. The Prime Minister recalled a powerful moment from his time as Israel’s ambassador to the United Nations when he received guidance from the Rebbe. “‘You will be serving in a house of lies,’ the Rebbe told me,” Netanyahu shared. “‘And you will have to battle against 119.’ We have 120 members in the Knesset – he didn’t even leave me one,” Netanyahu added with a smile.

President Trump is demanding that those who burned American flags during the violent unrest in Los Angeles be sentenced to at least a year in jail—and raised the possibility that California Governor Gavin Newsom could face criminal charges for his handling of the crisis.
In the debut episode of Miranda Devine’s new podcast, Pod Force One, Trump said any protester caught torching the Stars and Stripes should face automatic jail time. The podcast is set to feature influential political figures each week.
“I happen to think if you burn an American flag — because they were burning a lot of flags in Los Angeles — I think you go to jail for one year,” he said. “Just automatic.”

I am writing to express my profound outrage and disgust regarding an article titled “Pre-Date Meditations” by Eli Hoffmann, published in the Family First section of Mishpacha magazine, dated June 4, 2025. The piece, appearing in a publication aimed at women, is an insensitive and narcissistic rant that shamelessly trivializes the experiences of countless girls and women navigating the dating world, particularly within the context of shidduchim. Hoffmann’s self-absorbed narrative—detailing his routine of dates with a detached, almost mocking tone—reveals a staggering lack of empathy.

Several top Democratic officials are facing backlash for making wildly inaccurate statements about the violent anti-ICE demonstrations that have consumed Los Angeles for nearly a week. Their attempts to deny or minimize the destruction stand in sharp contrast to eyewitness accounts, video footage, and law enforcement reports documenting widespread looting, arson, and violent clashes with police.
At a Capitol Hill press conference on Tuesday, Rep. Maxine Waters (D-Calif.) boldly declared that there was “no violence” taking place in Los Angeles. Her remarks came as she sharply criticized President Trump’s decision to deploy thousands of National Guard troops and hundreds of Marines to restore order in the city.

During a speech delivered Tuesday at Fort Bragg, President Trump announced that he intends to reinstate the original names of seven military installations that once honored figures from the Confederacy, including Fort Robert E. Lee.
“For a little breaking news, we are also going to be restoring the names to Fort Pickett, Fort Hood, Fort Gordon, Fort Rucker, Fort Polk, Fort AP Hill and Fort Robert E Lee,” Trump declared during his remarks commemorating the 250th anniversary of the United States Army.
“We won a lot of battles out of those forts. It’s no time to change. And I’m superstitious, you know, I like to keep it going, right? I’m very superstitious.”
“We want to keep it going. So that’s a big story.”

Mike Bloomberg has officially endorsed Andrew Cuomo in the Democratic primary for New York City mayor, arguing that the former governor has the right credentials to lead the city through its challenges.
“I care deeply about the future of our city, and since leaving office, it has been difficult to watch its struggles, especially since the pandemic,” the three-term former mayor said Tuesday.
“In sizing up the field in the race for mayor, there is one candidate whose management experience and government know-how stand above the others: Andrew Cuomo.”
Bloomberg acknowledged that he and Cuomo didn’t always see eye to eye during their respective times in office, but emphasized that Cuomo’s leadership qualities are what the city needs most right now.
