Yesterday afternoon, the office of the Israeli Prime Minister made it a point to inform journalists that Binyomin Netanyahu was indeed set to take a vacation this weekend: “As opposed to reports spread online,” the prime minister did not cancel his trip to the north.
This clarification seems to be a deliberate tactic aimed at convincing Iranian intelligence that there would be no impending strike over the weekend.
It is also worth mentioning that the wedding of Netanyahu’s son Avner, planned for Monday, is now expected to be delayed.

The House narrowly voted Thursday to cut about $9.4 billion in spending already approved by Congress as President Donald Trump’s administration looks to follow through on work done by the Department of Government Efficiency when it was overseen by Elon Musk. The package targets foreign aid programs and the Corporation for Public Broadcasting, which provides money for National Public Radio and the Public Broadcasting Service as well as thousands of public radio and television stations around the country. The vote was 214-212. Republicans are characterizing the spending as wasteful and unnecessary, but Democrats say the rescissions are hurting the United States’ standing in the world and will lead to needless deaths.

US Ambassador to Israel Mike Huckabee spoke to CBN News and did an admirable job of defending Israel against the various antisemitc accusations constantly hurled against the Jewish state. Regarding claims that Israel is committing genocide, Huckabee replied: “They’re doing a lousy job at genocide. If they wanted to do genocide, they could drop a few bombs and everybody would be dead.” “So the fact is that they are surgically going into Gaza, trying to get the civilians moved out of harm’s way. They announce to them with leaflets, with paging, with cell phone texts, with loudspeakers, and they’ve put it on every media outlet and social media and say, ‘If you’re in this area, get out. We’re going to attack it.'” “Now who else does that on all of the earth?
