STEVE WITKOFF: Leaking that type of information, whatever the information, whatever side it comes out on, is outrageous. It’s treasonous. So it ought to be investigated, and whoever did it, whoever is responsible for it should be held accountable.

Sen. Schumer: “If the press reporting about the impact of last weekend’s strikes in Iran is true and I cannot confirm them, then that might be the reason why the administration postponed our classified briefing today.”

Rep. Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez (D-N.Y.) hit back at President Trump on Tuesday after he launched a verbal assault on her in response to her claim that his airstrikes in Iran should be grounds for impeachment. Ocasio-Cortez stood firm in her criticism, maintaining that the weekend’s strikes on Iranian nuclear facilities were unlawful.
Posting on the platform X, Ocasio-Cortez addressed Trump’s social media barrage with a pointed reply. “Mr. President, don’t take your anger out on me – I’m just a silly girl,” she wrote, mocking his outrage. She went on: “Take it out on whoever convinced you to betray the American people and our Constitution by illegally bombing Iran and dragging us into war. It only took you 5 months to break almost every promise you made.”

Israeli intelligence now assesses that the joint U.S.-Israel strikes on Iran’s nuclear infrastructure have significantly delayed — but not eliminated — Tehran’s atomic ambitions. A senior Israeli official told The Times of Israel that the coordinated operation has pushed Iran’s nuclear program back by “several years.” However, the official emphasized that the program was not fully dismantled, contradicting the White House narrative. A separate CNN report on Tuesday said that the U.S. airstrikes on Iran’s nuclear infrastructure failed to cripple the country’s atomic ambitions, undercutting public claims by President Donald Trump and his defense officials that the mission delivered total destruction.

With the conclusion of Operation “Am K’Lavi” and the lifting of public gathering restrictions by the Home Front Command, the Kosel has resumed full activity. Thousands of people have already begun arriving at the Kosel Plaza to offer tefillos of gratitude.
As Erev Rosh Chodesh Tamuz approaches on Wednesday—a time considered especially auspicious for tefillah and yeshuah—thousands are expected to gather at the Kosel for special Yom Kippur Katan minyanim.

Israel’s Home Front Command announced Tuesday evening a full return to normalcy across the country, lifting all restrictions that had been in place during the recent Iran war. The decision followed a situational assessment and was approved by Defense Minister Yisroel Katz.
According to the updated guidelines, all regions of Israel—except for the Gaza border communities—are now permitted to operate without limitations in all areas of daily life. Schools, workplaces, and public gatherings may resume normal activity after nearly two weeks of intense fighting and in light of the current ceasefire.

Rep. Robert Garcia was elected the top Democrat on the powerful House Oversight Committee on Tuesday, charting a new direction for the party’s opposition to congressional Republicans and President Donald Trump’s administration. Garcia, of California, won the job overwhelmingly in a closed-door vote of the House Democratic caucus. He beat out Rep. Stephen Lynch of Massachusetts, 150-63. Afterward, Garcia thanked colleagues who also sought the top job and promised the Democratic side of the committee would be focused on rooting out government corruption and increasing government efficiency. “Efficiency is not DOGE,” Garcia said, referring to the Department of Government Efficiency.

Following the conclusion of Operation “Am K’Lavi” and the significant blows dealt to Iran’s military and nuclear infrastructure, Israeli Prime Minister Binyamin Netanyahu is considering a diplomatic visit to the United States, which would include a meeting with U.S. President Donald Trump at the White House.
According to senior diplomatic officials, formal discussions between Yerushalayim and Washington have yet to begin, but the intention is to schedule the visit as soon as possible—potentially within the next few weeks. One official noted, “The goal is to create a symbolic and international moment of victory over Iran—both on the diplomatic stage and in the court of global public opinion.”
