During a Wednesday appearance on CNN’s “News Central,” Representative Maxine Waters of California directed sharp criticism at President Donald Trump, asserting that he bears responsibility for the recent unrest in Los Angeles related to immigration enforcement.
Waters stated, “The backup plan is the President of the United States should do what he didn’t do when we were invaded in the Capitol. When they had the insurrection that he led, he should get on the phone and talk to the local police, he should talk to the people that he’s had deployed there. And he has a responsibility in all of this. He started this. There should be no violence. He should not continue to support violence.”

Echoes of Holiness

By Rabbi Pinchos Lipschutz
Once again, I was granted the zechus to spend Shavuos in Eretz Yisroel, a land where holiness is not remembered but felt, where the air itself hums with ancient echoes.
When coming to Yerushalayim, you are coming to a place beyond space, to a rhythm beyond time.
Yerushalayim on any Yom Tov is a jewel alight with kedusha, but on Shavuos, it shimmers with something deeper. As the night unfolds, thousands flow like rivers through her narrow streets, drawn to the botei medrash by an inner fire, eyes wide, hearts yearning, feet quick with purpose.

At Wednesday’s White House press briefing, Press Secretary Karoline Leavitt declined to directly address whether President Donald Trump continues to support a two-state solution to the conflict between Israel and the Palestinians.
