Al-Qaeda’s leader in Yemen has threatened U.S. President Donald Trump and billionaire entrepreneur Elon Musk over the Israel-Hamas war in Gaza, according to reports on Sunday.
Saad bin Atef al-Awlaki, also known as Abu al-Laith, recorded a 30-minute video message that was shared online by supporters of Al-Qaeda in the Arabian Peninsula. This is reportedly the 47-year-old Yemeni terrorist’s first video message since being named emir of AQAP in March 2024, following the death of Khalid Batarfi.
In addition to Trump and Musk, the video reportedly shows images of U.S. Vice President JD Vance, Secretary of State Marco Rubio and Secretary of Defense Pete Hegseth. Logos of Musk’s businesses, including Tesla, are also featured.

Throughout the day, large kabbalas panim events were held in batei medrash, yeshivos, Talmudei Torah, and even in the streets of Lakewood, as throngs came out to greet the venerated posek.

Iran’s intelligence minister revealed on Sunday that a collection of confidential Israeli documents recently obtained by Tehran would soon be made public. Speaking on state television, Esmail Khatib called the materials a “treasure trove” that he claimed would boost Iran’s strategic strength.
Over the weekend, Iranian state media claimed that intelligence agencies in Iran had acquired a vast quantity of classified Israeli documents. The reports did not provide any proof to support the assertion. According to Khatib, the documents include details on Israel’s nuclear infrastructure, its relationships with Western nations including the United States and European countries, and information regarding its military defense systems.

Boulder, CO — The 30th

Tzvi-Hirsh (Grisha) Zurgazda, a 32-year-old father of two and a beloved member of the kehilla in Odessa, was killed in combat last Thursday while serving on the front lines near Kherson. He is the third Jewish soldier to fall in Ukraine’s ongoing war within the past two weeks. Zurgazda served in the Ukrainian army’s 34th Brigade, which is responsible for defending key areas in the country’s southern region, including coastal defenses near the Black Sea. A proud Jew and graduate of Odessa’s Or Avner-Chabad school, Zurgazda remained deeply connected to Torah even while in uniform. Before the war, he worked as a professional chef and often spoke of his dream to open Odessa’s first Michelin-starred kosher restaurant—an ambition put on hold by the ongoing conflict.

In a move drawing sharp criticism, the cabinet approved a new resolution on Sunday that permits a ministerial committee—rather than a professional, independent body—to initiate proceedings to dismiss the attorney general. This decision came despite a warning earlier that day from the Attorney General’s Office declaring the proposal illegal. The change sidesteps a procedure that had required the input of a statutory committee of legal experts and public representatives before such a step could be taken.
