AHMEDA

For the first time in months, Israeli authorities allowed 56 humanitarian aid trucks to directly enter the northern Gaza Strip.

Sources in Gaza told the IDF that most of the aid trucks that entered Gaza last night were looted and robbed before reaching their destination.

Speaker Mike Johnson: “We call it the ‘One Big Beautiful Bill’ for a reason. We are not only going to have historic tax savings for hardworking Americans… we’re going to save $1.6T, which is the most money that any legislative body has ever saved in the history of mankind.”

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.”

According to a report from CBS News, Israel is reportedly ready to initiate a full-scale military campaign against Iran, based on information from multiple sources familiar with the situation.
American officials have been made aware of Israel’s readiness and are preparing for potential Iranian responses, particularly those that might target American personnel or facilities in Iraq. In light of the possible threat, the U.S. State Department has directed embassies situated near Iranian proxies to activate their Emergency Action Committees (EACs). Additionally, all non-essential American government staff in Iraq have been instructed to leave, and the Pentagon has authorized voluntary departure for military families stationed throughout the Middle East.

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.
