Prime Minister Binyamin Netanyahu held a press conference on Sunday evening following the U.S. military strike on Iran’s nuclear facilities. He emphasized that Israel has no intention of being dragged into a prolonged war with Iran and declared: “We are close to completing the two objectives of Operation ‘Am K’Lavi’ (Like a Lion).” At the start of his remarks, Netanyahu said the following: “When I first took office, I participated in the March of the Living at Auschwitz. I felt a strong need to wrap myself in a tallis and said: שמע ישראל ה’ אלוקינו ה’ אחד. “Ten days ago, just hours before launching the historic mission against the evil regime of Iran, I visited the Kosel and again felt a strong urge to wrap myself in a tallis.

While having supper Thursday evening, I received a call from a 212 number claiming to be from Chase Bank. Normally, I don’t answer calls during dinner — especially not from unfamiliar area codes — but for personal reasons, I made an exception this time. The caller identified himself and immediately asked about a couple of Zelle transactions on my account. Each was for several thousand dollars and had been flagged by the bank as potentially fraudulent. The money was being sent to someone whose name I didn’t recognize. After confirming with my wife that she hadn’t authorized any transactions either, the caller assured me he would mark them as fraudulent and “freeze” my Zelle account for 24 to 48 hours for my protection.

U.S. calls on China to prevent Iran from closing Strait of Hormuz and disrupting global oil flows U.S. Secretary of State Marco Rubio called on China to prevent Iran from blocking the Strait of Hormuz in retaliation for U.S. airstrikes. About 20% of the world’s oil passes through the Strait of Hormuz. China is Iran’s biggest oil customer and maintains friendly relations with the Islamic Republic.

Russian President Vladimir Putin told the press that one of the reasons why Russia is not aiding Iranians in the war is that “Israel is almost a Russian-speaking country,” Ynet reported. Speaking at a news conference on Friday, Putin said that the Kremlin “traditionally enjoys good and friendly relations with the Arab world. It has been said here that we must show a certain solidarity—and that is true. But in any case, every conflict is rather unique. I want to draw your attention to the fact that almost two million Russian-speaking people live in Israel. It is almost a Russian-speaking country today.” “Who said that we were supposed to do more?” Putin continued. “What else? Start combat operations?” “We defend Iran’s right to nuclear energy in the name of peace.

After the U.S. carried out its major military operation targeting three of Iran’s nuclear facilities, Israeli Prime Minister Bibi Netanyahu and his wife, Sara, visited the Kosel in Yerushalayimon Sunday. Their visit was marked by a heartfelt tefillah of thanks to the Almighty for the wonders witnessed, as well as a prayer for the well-being of the President of the United States, in appreciation of his unwavering backing of Israel during these trying times.
The gathering was held in the presence of Rav Shmuel Rabinowitz, rov of the Kosel, along with Mordechai (Suli) Eliav, who heads the Western Wall Heritage Foundation. Tefillos were recited to express gratitude for the evident and ongoing miracles that have unfolded throughout the course of the “Rising Lion” war.

Iran’s legislative body has cast a vote in favor of shutting down the Strait of Hormuz — a crucial waterway that handles nearly a fifth of the global oil trade each day.
Should this decision be enforced, it would effectively freeze $1 billion worth of daily oil exports, likely triggering a dramatic spike in oil prices worldwide.
The implementation of the closure awaits a final verdict from Iran’s Supreme Council.
According to Iran’s government-run Press TV, the Supreme Council is expected to announce its ruling by the end of the day.
In a statement issued Sunday, Revolutionary Guards Commander Email Kosari said Iran’s sharp response to American airstrikes on its nuclear infrastructure “will be done whenever necessary.”
