NEW YORK – A Pakistani national living in Canada has been extradited to the United States for allegedly plotting a mass shooting at a Jewish center in New York City, timed to coincide with the first anniversary of Hamas’s October 7 attacks on Israel.

The worldwide Jewish population grew by 870,000 in the decade from 2010 to 2020, according to the Pew Research Center’s global religion survey released this week.
The analysis of worldwide religious trends looked at self-reported religious belief, except in Israel, where the surveyors used the government’s population register.
“The number of Jews around the world grew by 6%, from an estimated 14 million in 2010 to nearly 15 million in 2020,” the researchers wrote. “That’s fewer than the estimated 16.6 million Jews who were alive in 1939 prior to the Holocaust.”
Those numbers notably exclude those who might identify ethnically as Jewish but who report being religiously unaffiliated, agnostic or atheist.

In the heart of Spain’s capital, Sobrino de Botín holds a coveted Guinness World Record as the world’s oldest restaurant. Exactly three hundred years after it opened its doors, Botín welcomes droves of daily visitors hungry for Castilian fare with a side of history. But on the outskirts of Madrid, far from the souvenir shops and tourist sites, a rustic tavern named Casa Pedro makes a bold claim. Its owners assert the establishment endured not just the Spanish Civil War in the 1930s and the Napoleonic invasion in the early 1800s, but even the War of Spanish Succession at the start of the 18th century — a lineage that would make Casa Pedro older than Botín and a strong contender for the title.

President Trump announced early Wednesday that the United States had finalized a trade arrangement with China following a stretch of intense negotiations held in London.

El Al is facing a bombshell class action lawsuit accusing the national carrier of exploiting a time of national tragedy for massive financial gain. Filed Wednesday in the Central District Court in Lod, the lawsuit alleges that El Al engaged in widespread price gouging in the immediate aftermath of the October 7, 2023 Hamas attacks, when most foreign airlines suspended operations and El Al became the dominant — and often only — option for air travel in and out of Israel. The suit, led by attorney Ilan Verednikov and backed by legal heavyweights Dr. Tal Rotman and Adi Zitron of the Perl Cohen law firm, accuses El Al of leveraging its monopoly status to hike ticket prices well beyond what was justified by operational costs.
