WHEN ARE THE 500 MILLION MIGRATING BIRDS IN ISRAEL IN THE SPRING TIME.(GET READY ISLAM TO BE BIRD SEED FOR THESE BIRDS)
https://www.youtube.com/shorts/m0bXU5Xqc5M
The
500 million migratory birds in Israel during the spring arrive from
Africa and head toward Europe and Asia, with the peak migration
occurring in March and April. While migration starts in late February,
the most intense movements, particularly of birds of prey, storks, and
pelicans, occur during the third week of March and continue into April.
Key Details on the Spring Migration
Peak Period: Mid-March through April.
Main
Migration Route: The birds use the Great Rift Valley, which includes
the Hula Valley and Eilat, acting as a "bottleneck" where millions of
birds fly through the narrow land bridge.
Best Spots: The Hula Lake
Park (Northern Israel) and the Eilat Birding Center (Southern Israel)
are primary locations for observing the migration.
Key Species:
Hundreds of thousands of white storks, along with black kites, raptors,
and pelicans, pass through over these months.
uration: The spring migration runs from late February and continues into June, though the heaviest traffic is in March/April.
The
500 million migratory birds fly over Israel in the fall between late
August and mid-December. The peak migration period for the autumn, when
the highest volume of bird traffic occurs, is typically October and
November.
Key Fall Migration Details
Location: The Hula Valley (Agamon Hula Park) in northern Israel is the premier spot to witness this phenomenon.
Timing: Migration starts as early as late June with some waders, but intensifies from mid-August through November.
Peak Festival: The "Annual Hula Valley Bird Festival" is usually held in November to align with the peak migration traffic.
Key
Species: Many birds of prey (raptors), including honey buzzards and
steppe eagles, cross during this time, along with massive flocks of
storks and cranes.
While roughly 500 million birds pass through in
the autumn on their way to Africa, the same number crosses again in the
spring (mid-February to May) on their way back to Europe and Asia.

Russia said helping Iran develop supersonic cruise
missiles-Russian engineers have made multiple visits to Islamic Republic
for project making ramjet engine needed to build high-speed anti-ship
and land attack weapon, Financial Times reports By ToI Staff 2 September
2026, 1:21 pm
Russia has been helping Iran develop supersonic
cruise missiles, an advanced weapon that is harder to defend against
than subsonic variants, the Financial Times reported Tuesday.According
to the newspaper, the development program began in 2023 and, if
successful, would give Tehran a significantly greater ability to attack
US aircraft carriers and other vessels in the Middle East.The FT said
its investigation was based on Russian correspondence, travel records
and military patents, and described the program as “one of the most
significant known transfers of strategic military technology from Moscow
to Tehran.”The project, codenamed “C430L,” was organized by
Rosoboronexport, Russia’s state arms exporter, and also involved NPO
Mashinostroyenia, a rocket design organization that is under US
sanctions.Documents show that officials from both organizations traveled
multiple times to Iran before the C430L project was formalized in
November 2023, the FT reported.The program continued into 2026, with
June correspondence showing discussions on the next stage, though it is
not clear if that has begun, the report said. Work was still happening
when Iran came under attack from a joint US-Israel campaign this year.
The war is still ongoing, though it has become focused on a US-Iran
standoff over control of the vital Strait of Hormuz, which Iran has
tried to choke off by attacking shipping.The development program is
reportedly focused on a ramjet propulsion system that would allow a
cruise missile to fly at multiple times the speed of sound. Military
experts assessed that the weapon would most likely be used to hit ships
and some land targets.Some of Russia’s top experts in the field were
involved in the Iranian program, the FT said, and its engineers analyzed
data from an Iranian ramjet engine system.The report said that Iran
built and tested the system, but there is no evidence that a supersonic
cruise missile using the technology has been deployed.“This is the
transfer of a highly strategically sensitive military technology from
Russia that the Iranians have wanted to acquire for decades,” Fabian
Hinz, an expert on Iranian missiles and senior analyst with Conflict
Armament Research, told the newspaper. “A program like this would
require political clearance from the very top in Russia.”Jim Lamson, a
former Iran-focused military analyst with the CIA now at the James
Martin Center for Nonproliferation Studies, added: “If the Russians are
able to help the Iranians fix their technical problems, I think this
would be one of the more impactful areas of Russian military-technical
assistance to Iran in recent years.”The Kremlin, Rosoboronexport and NPO
Mashinostroyenia did not respond with comment to the FT.Russia and Iran
have long enjoyed close ties, and in January 2025, the two countries
signed a strategic partnership agreement to further improve cooperation,
including military and defense partnerships.Prior to that, Iran had
already been providing Russia with its home-produced Shahed attack
drones that have been widely deployed against Ukraine, and Russia now
manufactures its own version of the drones.In April, Ukrainian
intelligence accused Russia of supplying the Iranians with detailed
imagery surveys of military facilities and critical sites across the
Middle East to help Iran strike US forces and other targets, including
critical infrastructure in Israel, amid the ongoing war.Last year, the
FT reported that Iranian scientists with ties to the regime had made a
secret trip late last year to Russia, where they met with military
experts and may have sought to advance nuclear weapons work.

Xi arrives in Egypt amid US sanctions threat over Iran links-Egyptian
and Chinese banks could be hit by Washington’s boosted sanctions regime;
Beijing seeking to prop up relations with US-friendly nations ahead of
Xi-Trump meeting By Menna Farouk and Mary Yang 1 September 2026, 10:13
pm
CAIRO, Egypt — Chinese President Xi Jinping arrived in Egypt
on Tuesday on a rare trip to the Middle East as both countries face the
threat of US sanctions over financial links to Iran.Xi and his wife were
greeted on the tarmac by Egyptian President Abdel Fattah al-Sissi and
the first lady, as well as a performance by an Egyptian folk dance
troupe.The two-day visit comes as both countries seek to manage the
fallout of the months-long Middle East war, which began when the United
States and Israel launched strikes against Iran on February 28, throwing
the crucial trade region into crisis.Washington vowed last month to
destabilize Iran economically, warning of expanded sanctions against
Tehran’s backers and partners that could hit Egyptian and Chinese banks,
among others.Xi’s visit “comes at a time when China’s economic
interests are directly exposed to the US-Iran war,” said Gamal Salama,
political science professor at Egypt’s Suez University.China, a major
buyer of Iranian oil, has presented itself as a neutral party in the
Middle East conflict, repeatedly calling for a lasting ceasefire.Egypt, a
long-time recipient of US military aid, warned against regional
escalation after a drone strike hit one of its ports in July.China is
“clearly seeking Egypt’s cooperation in managing and shaping regional
affairs,” said Liu Jia, a research fellow at the Singapore-based Middle
East Institute.Beijing works closely with regional actors such as Egypt,
which mediates between Israel and Palestinian groups, Liu added.Both
China and Egypt support an independent Palestinian state as part of a
two-state solution.“China sees Cairo as a strategic power broker,” said
Salama.Egypt’s “relations with both Washington and regional actors give
Beijing both political access and diplomatic leverage across a region
where China wants a much greater say,” he added.‘Renewing the
friendship’As part of its economic pressure campaign targeting Iran,
Washington last week said it would cut off the operations of Egypt’s
Banque Misr in the UAE from the US financial system.China, in response
to the US measures and threats, has vowed to safeguard its
interests.Beijing has also sought to shore up ties with US-friendly
regional nations ahead of a meeting between Xi and US President Donald
Trump expected this month.The Chinese and Egyptian militaries carried
out joint air combat exercises in August that featured Beijing’s
powerful J-16 fighter jet.Xi’s meeting with his Egyptian counterpart,
Sissi, scheduled for Wednesday, follows a visit to Beijing by Jordan’s
King Abdullah II, whose country has also been caught up in the US war
with Iran.Xi and Sissi are expected to discuss issues including the Gaza
war, Iran, and shipping in the Red Sea and the Strait of Hormuz,
according to Egyptian media.“I look forward to renewing the friendship
and working together with President Sissi to… map out a new blueprint
for deepening the China-Egypt comprehensive strategic partnership,” Xi
wrote in an editorial published in Egyptian media on Tuesday.The Chinese
leader’s first visit to Egypt in a decade comes as the two nations mark
70 years of diplomatic ties.China is a major exporter to Egypt, with
its trade surplus reaching $12 billion in the first seven months of
2026, according to Chinese customs data.The leaders are expected to sign
agreements on artificial intelligence, transport, energy and investment
in the Suez Canal Economic Zone, Egyptian media reported.The meeting
with Xi sets Cairo up to land Chinese investments in its local AI and
electronics industries, political scientist Salama said.“What Egypt is
seeking is strategic autonomy: not breaking with Washington, not
aligning completely with Beijing, but creating enough room to pursue its
own national interests,” he added.

US Treasury chief threatens
Tehran with 'financial violence'US hits Iranian launchers preparing to
fire in Hormuz; IRGC targets Jordan, UAE in response
Revolutionary
Guards announce ‘the martyrdom and injury of several of our fighters and
compatriots’ after American forces strike Iran for first time in a
month; no injuries reported in retaliatory attack By Agencies and ToI
Staff 31 August 2026, 2:57 am-SEP 1,26
US forces on Sunday struck
Iranian rocket launchers on the Strait of Hormuz in their first
military action in a month, snapping a lull in fighting. Iran swiftly
retaliated for what it called a deadly attack, launching missiles at
American soldiers stationed in Jordan and the UAE.Forces with the
Islamic Revolutionary Guard Corps were observed preparing to launch
rockets with sea mines into the strait, according to Tim Hawkins, a
spokesperson for the US Central Command. The US military last week
completed clearing sea mines from the strait’s international shipping
routes.Semiofficial news outlets in Iran reported sounds of explosions
near Larak Island on the strait. The IRGC reported “the martyrdom and
injury of several of our fighters and compatriots.”The last time the US
military confirmed targeting Iran was on July 29, when it announced a
“heavy wave of strikes” on dozens of IRGC targets including coastal
surveillance and defense sites. On August 1, US President Donald Trump
said he would order the military to hold off on new strikes at the
urging of Gulf allies Qatar, Saudi Arabia and the United Arab
Emirates.Sunday’s attack was a “fatal mistake by the Trump regime during
the economic war” and the enemy will pay the consequences militarily
and economically, an IRGC spokesperson, Gen. Hossein Mohebi, said in a
statement carried by Iranian media.Shortly later, the IRGC said it
launched an attack on the King Hussein and Al Azraq US bases in Jordan
with ballistic missiles in response to the US attack on Larak
Island.There were no immediate reports of injuries or damage. “Air
defense systems intercepted eight missiles that breached the kingdom’s
airspace at dawn today, Monday,” according to a statement from Jordan’s
army.Additionally, Iran’s army attacked the United Arab Emirates’ Al
Minhad Air Base with drones in response to the US strikes, Iranian state
TV reported, citing a statement from the army.The army said the attack
targeted locations where US forces and helicopters were stationed at the
base.There was no immediate comment from the UAE on Iran’s claim, and
the UAE’s Defense Ministry had not issued a statement on the matter.In a
statement, Iran’s Foreign Ministry said it “strongly condemned the
American military aggression on Larak,” adding that Iranian forces
responded, “in accordance with the inherent right of legitimate
defense.”The fighting came just days after the Trump administration said
it would turn its focus to increasing economic pressure — rather than
military action — to try to end the war with Iran. The shifting strategy
centers on threats to punish any country or entity that continues to
conduct business with Tehran.The US turn to using sanctions came as the
administration weighs diminished munitions stockpiles after months of
war, sparking concerns that the prolonged conflict could undermine US
military readiness in other parts of the globe.As the conflict grinds
on, Trump’s talk of finding a quick end to the war also appears to be
fading. He stressed last week that he’s “not in a hurry” to get Iran
back to the negotiating table, and he continues making the case that the
Islamic Republic’s leadership is on the ropes.Appointments to Iran’s
senior security leadership in the past month, however, have signaled
Tehran’s defiance after weathering decades of sanctions as well as a
lack of tolerance for dissent at home.Trump has consistently emphasized
that the US and Israel campaign has been devastating for Iran’s navy and
air force. Iranian officials have said the country has suffered $270
billion in direct and indirect damage. Israeli military strikes in the
first weeks of the war wiped out much of the theocratic government’s
leadership structure.But Iran has found leverage through its strikes
against vessels on the Strait of Hormuz, where relatively few ships
carrying oil and liquefied natural gas are risking passage. At the same
time, a US naval counterblockade of Iranian ports is squeezing energy
supplies in Iran amid a shortfall of domestic production, as the US
ramps up pressure on its foe.Tehran continues to assert that even after
it works out a management plan for the strait with Oman, its neighbor on
the other side of the waterway, the US can’t use it until it fulfills
its obligations under the memorandum of understanding the countries
signed in mid-June.Trump has repeatedly declared that the “Strait of
Hormuz is open,” saying 24 vessels passed through last week. But that’s a
fraction of the roughly 130 vessels that transited daily before the war
began.Earlier on Sunday, a multinational coalition overseen by the US
Navy said commercial traffic through the strait remained at “reduced
levels.”And a monitoring agency run by the British military said an
unknown projectile struck a tanker ship on Saturday north of Khasab,
Oman, in the strait. The United Kingdom Maritime Trade Organization said
no casualties or environmental impact had been reported, and cited
unspecified military authorities. There was no immediate claim of
responsibility.The US military said that as of Sunday, it had redirected
83 commercial vessels and disabled three under its blockade of Iranian
ports.‘Financial violence’As the United States intensifies its economic
campaign against Iran, Treasury Secretary Scott Bessent on Sunday
revealed plans to impose sanctions on another bank this week.“This is
going to be financial violence if we have to,” Bessent told the
Associated Press in an interview. “We are showing people that we know
who you are, you know who you are, and this has got to stop.”Bessent
spoke ahead of Group of 20 meetings in Asheville, North Carolina, where
he will huddle individually with his counterparts from the world’s major
and developing economies to encourage cooperation against Iran.The
Trump administration has mostly relied on warnings rather than new
sanctions against Iran’s trading partners. There’s also the question of
how Trump will handle China, which is Iran’s biggest trading partner and
leading buyer of its oil.Bessent, who did not name the bank that he
said would be sanctioned this week, told the AP he would speak to his
Chinese counterparts at the G20 meeting and “all options are on the
table” in terms of sanctioning Beijing for its continued purchases.But
he rejected the idea that the administration was reluctant to confront
China, calling it “a completely false narrative that the media picked up
on.” He insisted that China and the US agree on the need to reopen the
Strait of Hormuz and prevent Iran from developing a nuclear
weapon.Treasury’s first official action in this campaign of economic
pressure was a proposed rulemaking on Friday, which would, if finalized,
sever the Emirati branches of Banque Misr, Egypt’s second-largest bank,
from access to the US financial system.In stopping short of imposing
sanctions on the Egyptian bank, the Republican administration appeared
to be signaling its reluctance to penalize major trading partners that
do business with Iran, including China and India.

ToI Staff 2 September 2026, 1:02 am
WASHINGTON (AP) — The US
military hit targets in Iran on Tuesday, and Tehran fired missiles and
drones in response, as hostilities flared once again in an intermittent
war that has lasted more than six months.The Iranian Red Crescent said
four people were killed, including a child, and over 50 others were
wounded after a US strike hit a home that was hosting a wedding in the
town of Kuhestak in the country’s south.The US strikes followed others
on Sunday that abruptly ended a month without military action and
threatened to fully reignite a conflict that has spiked global oil
prices and posed political problems for Republicans in November’s
midterm congressional elections. The renewed fighting comes after US
President Donald Trump had appeared to pivot toward trying to bend Iran
to his will through economic sanctions.“If the failed nation of Iran
retaliates for this very justified attack, they will be hit again at a
much harder and higher level, but it will not be the biggest attack of
them all, that is waiting in the wings,” Trump warned on social media.US
Central Command said the latest strikes were in response to Tehran
trying to attack commercial ships and American forces in the Middle
East. Trump offered additional explanations, first writing on Truth
Social that the US strikes were in retaliation for Tehran’s “failed
attempt” to lay mines along the Strait of Hormuz.He later told Fox News
that the US strikes were actually in response to Iran trying to rebuild
its radar.“They tried to rebuild their radar because they can’t see
anything,” Trump told Fox. “We waited until it was almost built and then
we hit it.”A day earlier, Trump pledged to respond to Iran’s Sunday
targeting of US forces in Jordan, offering another possible explanation
for Tuesday’s strikes around the Hormuz.The Iranian Revolutionary Guard
claimed to have retaliated on Tuesday by again firing ballistic missiles
at a US base in Jordan along the Gulf of Aqaba coast, according to
Iran’s state television. Explosions that appeared to be interceptions of
incoming air attacks were seen over the southern Jordanian city of
Aqaba.While the IRGC claimed to have killed a large number of US forces,
two US officials told Reuters that no casualties have been reported.The
Jordanian army said it intercepted 10 of the 13 missiles fired by Iran,
while three of the projectiles were allowed to fall in remote
areas.Residents of the southern Israeli city of Eilat heard blasts,
possibly from impacts or interceptions from the attack.Iran’s military
warns of ‘devastating blows’ as country reports attack on airport-Iran’s
Armed Forces General Staff and its joint military command said the
armed forces would deliver what they described as “crushing and
devastating blows” against the United States. The state-run IRNA news
agency cited a statement by Iran’s paramilitary Revolutionary Guard,
which warned that the attacks have only strengthened the Islamic
Republic’s resolve and tightened Iran’s effective closure of the Strait
of Hormuz, through which 20% of the world’s oil normally
flows.Explosions were reported across several southern Iranian coastal
areas, including the port city of Bandar Abbas that is home to naval and
air force facilities, as well as Qeshm Island in the Strait of Hormuz.
Witnesses in Bandar Abbas told The Associated Press that the explosions
were stronger than those on Sunday and said they saw smoke rising from
the eastern part of the city on the strait.Footage what appears to be a
direct impact in Aqaba, Jordan pic.twitter.com/hd07bgVMaY — Open Source
Intel (@Osint613) September 1, 2026-Iranian state television said US
strikes hit a fishmeal factory on Qeshm Island and several civilian
sites in Hormozgan province. It said a fishing pier and a Ports and
Maritime Organization tower in Sirik were among the locations
struck.State TV also reported that the US military struck the civilian
Jiroft Airport in central Iran’s Kerman province, saying a projectile
struck an area outside the runway and caused no casualties or damage to
airport infrastructure.Iranian state television reported that Tavanir,
Iran’s electricity grid management company, said several parts of
Hormozgan province’s power network had been struck. It said authorities
were working to restore resulting outages.According to Channel 12 news,
the US strikes on Iran on Tuesday were broader than previous waves and
targeted dozens of sites at least.For the first time, the US was also
targeting tankers belonging to Iran’s state-owned oil company as part of
a new “tanker-for-tanker” policy, a senior US official told the
network. Under the policy, Washington will strike an Iranian oil tanker
each time Tehran attacks a tanker passing through the Strait of
Hormuz.The latest strikes also reportedly targeted air-defense systems,
radar installations and anti-ship cruise-missile launchers.According to
Channel 12, Iran had recently begun moving weapons from the Tehran area
toward the Strait of Hormuz, prompting the US military to warn Trump
that Tehran was reestablishing its capabilities in the area and that it
was time to “mow the lawn.”In addition to hitting the house housing the
wedding, Iranian state media reported that the US had bombed civilian
sites along Iran’s southern coast and hit a civilian airport.The US and
Iran are both seeking control over the Strait of Hormuz, a narrow
waterway off Iran’s coast that is a vital oil shipping corridor. Tehran
effectively closed it after the war began at the end of February.Oil
prices have moved sharply higher this week with the renewed clashes.
Crude, already up about 7% this week, continued to rise following the
strikes on Tuesday.The price of crude has jumped more than 50% this year
and has dragged the cost of gasoline upward with it. The cost for a
gallon of regular gasoline in the US ticked higher again overnight to
$4.10, according to AAA. Last year at this time, a gallon cost
$3.19.Strikes renew after Iran expressed interest in restoring
MOU-Before military action began again, the Trump administration had
argued that hitting the right economic target in a campaign of financial
isolation would get Tehran to its breaking point. Now, strikes are
renewing even as US stockpiles of advanced interceptors have been
diminishing and the war has been unpopular among many Americans.A return
to open conflict would be dangerous for the region, where Iran has
targeted US military bases and infrastructure in Gulf countries since
the war began.Iranian President Masoud Pezeshkian said earlier Tuesday
before the latest strikes that the Islamic Republic is ready to return
to the interim ceasefire deal reached with the US in June if Washington
does the same.“If the US returns to its commitments in the memorandum of
understanding, the Islamic Republic of Iran will immediately
reciprocate,” Iranian state media cited Pezeshkian as saying at the
Shanghai Cooperation Organization summit in Kyrgyzstan.The June interim
deal called for an immediate ceasefire and started a 60-day period for
negotiations aimed at reaching a wider agreement, but crumbled soon
afterward.In the previous strikes on Sunday, US Central Command said its
forces struck Iranian rocket launchers that would launch sea mines into
the strait.Iran responded to Sunday’s attacks by launching missiles at
US sites in Jordan, which were intercepted, while the United Arab
Emirates said it stopped an Iranian drone over its waters. Trump
acknowledged Monday that more strikes might be necessary.The American
military in recent days has cast the renewed fighting as limited, though
Trump had acknowledged Monday that more strikes might be necessary.US
Central Command said Monday on X that its attacks on Iranian targets on
Sunday were narrowly focused.“US forces took limited, precise action
against IRGC minelaying forces posing an imminent threat in the Strait
of Hormuz,” US Central Command said. “In essence, Iran created the
threat, and the US military eliminated it to protect civilian mariners,
commercial shipping, and the free flow of global commerce.”Central
Command reiterated Tuesday that its attacks followed Iranian aggression
against commercial vessels and American troops in the region.

Strait,’ says it’s under American control despite fresh flareup; White
House later posts map of Gulf with renamed strait By Jacob Magid

US
President Donald Trump said that Israel should not worry about the
ongoing escalation with Iran, and that he doesn’t expect the conflict
with the Islamic Republic to last much longer, in a series of comments
on Wednesday.Speaking to the Kan public broadcaster in a phone
interview, Trump vowed to protect Israel amid the latest escalation that
has reverberated across the Middle East.“Israel should not worry. You
know why? Because I’m the president and I will take care of Israel,”
Trump said.Asked separately by a reporter in the Oval Office
specifically about the latest escalation and how much longer it was
likely to last, Trump responded, “Not too long.”He then spoke more
generally about the broader conflict and insisted that that too will be
over soon, without providing a timeline.“I don’t think it will be very
much longer. I don’t know how much more they can take,” Trump said of
Iran.For months, he claimed that the war would end quickly and that Iran
would capitulate, but that has not panned out.The comments came after
hostilities between the US and Iran abruptly flared up on Sunday, ending
a month without military action and threatening to fully reignite the
conflict.Over the weekend, the US struck rocket launchers on Iran’s
Larak Island, prompting Iran to fire missiles toward Jordan and the
United Arab Emirates. The US hit more Iranian targets around the Strait
of Hormuz on Tuesday in the biggest outbreak of fighting since July.Iran
said one of the US strikes on Tuesday killed four people at a wedding,
branding it a “war crime,” and launched a wave of retaliatory strikes at
US bases in Jordan, the UAE, Kuwait, Bahrain and Iraq.US Central
Command denied targeting civilians, telling Reuters on Wednesday that
the US military “never targets civilians, unlike the Revolutionary
Guards.”While Iran has struck countries across the Middle East, it has
refrained from hitting Israel in the current round of conflict. Defense
Minister Israel Katz said earlier on Wednesday that Israel was prepared
to respond “with great force” if attacked by Iran during the Jewish
holiday season, which begins next week.Israel and the US jointly
launched the war on Iran on February 28 in a bid to destabilize its
regime and destroy its ballistic missile and nuclear programs.The
fighting entered a truce in April, and the US and Iran signed an interim
agreement with Iran in June, but the deal collapsed because of disputes
over control of the Strait of Hormuz, where Iran launched a blockade
early in the war, prompting the US to retaliate in kind.Since then, the
bulk of the tension has been focused on the Strait of Hormuz, with the
initial motivations for the war — stopping Iran from obtaining nuclear
weapons and putting an end to its ballistic missile program — appearing
to have largely fallen by the wayside.‘Nice ring to it’Trump insisted on
Wednesday the upcoming US midterm elections in early November were not a
factor in his decision-making, as is widely thought to be the
case.Trump suggested Republican voters are okay with paying more at the
pump temporarily because they don’t want Iran to obtain a nuclear
weapon.Asked about his post earlier on Wednesday in which he wondered
aloud when Iranians will revolt against the regime, he again
acknowledged that such a rebellion would be difficult as long as
protesters weren’t armed.Recalling how regime gunmen have shot
protesters, Trump said it was understandable that people have stopped
taking to the streets.“That’s why it’s not happening. And who can blame
them? But the regime is getting weaker by the day,” he claimed.He also
entertained the idea of changing the name of the Strait of Hormuz to
“Trump Strait,” despite the fact that the crucial waterway remains
contested amid the war with Iran.Now that we have it under U.S.A.
control, should we change the name Hormuz Strait to TRUMP STRAIT??? Like
America itself, it would be “hotter” than ever before! Thank you for
your attention to this matter. President DONALD J. TRUMP Advertisement (

(@WhiteHouse) September 2, 2026-Trump has in recent weeks repeatedly
pressed a threat to claim sovereignty over the Strait of Hormuz, even
posting a map showing the waterway as a “new US territory.”Since
returning to office last year, Trump has made a string of similar
renaming suggestions that started out as apparent attempts to troll his
adversaries, but then came to fruition.Last week the 80-year-old
Republican signed an order renaming Lake Ontario as “Lake America” amid a
trade war with neighboring Canada.Trump also renamed the Gulf of Mexico
as the “Gulf of America” on his first day back in the White House in
January 2025. Neither Mexico nor Canada has accepted the changes.Trump
additionally reverted the name of Denali, North America’s highest peak,
to its former moniker Mt. McKinley.The billionaire president has also
gone on a spree of renaming things after himself, including the Kennedy
arts center in Washington, a peace institute, a “Trump Gold Card” for
immigration and a “Trump Rx” drug-sales website.The US Treasury
meanwhile on Wednesday issued $1 coins featuring Trump’s face to mark
the 250th anniversary of US independence, running counter to federal law
that says no living president may appear on US currency.But the strait
suggestion may also be aimed at being a fresh distraction from the Iran
war, which has caused oil prices to spike for US consumers ahead of
crucial midterm elections.
Trump: When will the Iranians rise up
and fight the regime? Israel says it’s ready to ‘decisively’ strike Iran
if attacked during upcoming holidays
‘They like to attack on Jewish
holidays because, after all, they hate Jews,’ says DM; Tehran says it
targeted US military sites in Gulf states, as Saudi Arabia accuses it of
killing two crew members on a state-owned tanker traversing Hormuz By
Agencies and ToI Staff 2 September 2026, 4:37 pm
Defense Minister
Israel Katz said Wednesday that Israel was prepared to respond “with
great force” if attacked by Iran during the upcoming Jewish holiday
period, after the largest exchange of fire between Washington and Tehran
since July.Iran said it attacked US military targets in Jordan, Kuwait,
Iraqi Kurdistan and the United Arab Emirates, after the US military on
Tuesday said it had struck Iranian targets including air defenses and
mine-laying capabilities in response to Iranian attacks on commercial
ships in the Strait of Hormuz. Later Wednesday, Saudi Arabia said one of
its oil tankers was targeted in a deadly attack by Iran in the
strait.Speaking at a conference hosted by the Yedioth Ahronoth media
group, Katz said that “for now,” Iran is “striking throughout the region
except us.”“But there is a possibility that they will attack us. We are
prepared for that defensively,” he said.Israel is prepared for a
possible attack from Iranian forces over the Jewish high holiday season,
which begins in mid-September, said Katz.If Iran attacks, Israel will
“respond with great force, independently of anyone else,” Katz said,
adding that “our planes are ready to take off.”“They like to attack on
Jewish holidays because, after all, they hate Jews. Look at the many
things that have happened in the past. But we are prepared both
defensively and offensively, in coordination with the United States in
this regard,” Katz said.Israel and the US jointly launched the war on
Iran on February 28 in a bid to destabilize its regime and destroy its
ballistic missile and nuclear programs.The fighting entered a truce in
April, and the US and Iran signed an interim agreement with Iran in
June, but the deal collapsed because of disputes over control of the
Strait of Hormuz, where Iran launched a blockade early in the war. The
US and Iran have since continued to exchange fire more sporadically.US
President Donald Trump denied on social media on Wednesday that he was
seeking to force Iran’s leaders back to the negotiating table.“I
couldn’t care less if they sign a worthless, to them, agreement,” Trump
wrote on Truth Social. “I like our position now much better, with almost
total control of the Hormuz Strait, and their economy totally
collapsing. They are just playing out the inevitable.”“When are the
Iranian people going to rise up and fight?” added Trump, who at the
start of the war urged Iranians to seize their government once the
bombing stops, but later cautioned the regime would crack down on
rebels.Iran reports 11 killed in US strikes-Iranian state media reported
multiple US strikes near the Strait of Hormuz overnight
Tuesday-Wednesday, and cited the law enforcement chief of the
southwestern Khuzestan province as saying US missiles had killed seven
people and wounded eight in three separate locations in the region.The
statement came after Iran’s Red Crescent said late Tuesday that a US
attack on a home hosting a wedding in the southern Sirik county wounded
more than 50 people and killed at least four, including a small
child.The incidents could not be independently verified. Iran’s West
Asia News Agency aired purported footage of the targeted wedding site
that showed rubble strewn across rooms and a courtyard of a home. A pair
of strappy women’s dress sandals lay abandoned on a blood-soaked
carpet.“I am just glad the casualties weren’t even worse,” said Ali
Molahi, identified as the father of the bride.US Central Command denied
targeting civilians, telling Reuters on Wednesday that the US military
“never targets civilians, unlike the Revolutionary Guards.”Following the
reported attack on the wedding, Iran’s top negotiator Mohammad Bagher
Ghalibaf called the US “Satan” and appeared to reference Israel as
“junior Satan.”Writing on X, Ghalibaf cited other mass-casualty
incidents caused by the US-Israeli strikes.“Minab school: children
massacred. Lamerd sports hall: kids slaughtered. Kuhestak wedding:
children killed with families. If a power acts like Satan, picks targets
like Satan, and kills like Satan, it’s Satan. Shields a junior Satan
that does the same? It’s THE Great Satan,” Ghalibaf said.Iran’s military
command said: “American evil in the region will be met with heavier,
more widespread, and devastating responses, and any country that
cooperates with the aggressive American army must accept its dangerous
consequences.”In a similar warning, Iran’s security chief declared that
the US would now face a “new strategy from Tehran.”“You will soon see
that Iran’s new strategy on the battlefield, in diplomacy and in
confronting the economic blockade will shatter your foundations,” Iran’s
Supreme National Security Council Secretary Mohsen Rezaei warned on
X.In Kuwait, Iran said it had carried out a missile and drone attack on
the vast US Ali Al Salem Air Base and targeted the accommodation of a US
commander. Kuwait’s fire service said crews put out a blaze at a
residential complex early on Wednesday after an Iranian drone struck the
complex, causing damage but not casualties.Bahrain, where Iran’s army
claimed to have targeted radar sites at the Sheikh Isa US air base, said
Iranian drones were intercepted and destroyed.Iran’s Islamic
Revolutionary Guard Corps said its ground forces also carried out
combined missile and drone attacks on US bases in Erbil, in northern
Iraq. The IRGC claimed to have killed several US personnel in Erbil.
Neither Iraq nor the US confirmed the attack.Iran also said two tankers
had been struck by mines while US personnel steered the vessels through a
channel in Hormuz that Iran says it closed.Saudi Arabia’s national
shipping company reported on Wednesday that two Filipino crew members
were killed aboard an oil tanker in the strait two days earlier.The
kingdom’s foreign ministry later identified the culprit as Iran, and
also condemned the Islamic Republic’s attacks on the other Arab
countries.Amid the fighting early Wednesday, the US State Department
reissued a security alert to US citizens in the Middle East, urging them
to exercise caution due to the “potential for unforeseen escalation.”
The same alert was issued in July and August by US embassies in the
Middle East, including in Israel.“Americans currently in the Middle East
should exercise heightened vigilance and be aware of potential flight
cancellations, airspace closures and travel disruptions,” the alert
said. “Americans traveling to or from the region should monitor
information about airport and airline operations.”“US diplomatic
facilities, including outside the Middle East, have been targeted. Iran
and groups supportive of Iran may target other US interests overseas or
at locations associated with the United States and Americans throughout
the world, including US businesses and other institutions,” it
added.Stocks fall, even as US touts increased Hormuz oil flow-The
overnight exchange of fire was the worst since July, when Trump abruptly
halted two weeks of intense bombing of Iran after warnings from his
military brass that they were using up munitions and running out of
meaningful targets.World stocks fell on Wednesday as the fresh US
airstrikes on Iran pushed oil prices to five-week highs, stoking
inflation concerns and extending a global bond selloff.The pan-European
STOXX 600 fell 0.3%, after sharper losses in Asia, where South Korea’s
KOSPI dropped almost 4%, while the Nikkei 225 was down 2.9%.US Secretary
of Energy Chris Wright, meanwhile, said 17 million barrels of oil
transited the Strait of Hormuz on Monday. He claimed it was the highest
amount of crude to traverse the strait since Iran blockaded it, choking
off about a fifth of the world’s commercial oil shipments.Despite
Wright’s claim, preliminary shipping data indicated just four commodity
vessels transited the strait on Tuesday, down from ten the day before
and from the 10-day average of about 13.The four vessels that transited
were one very large crude carrier, one Panamax tanker, one Kamsarmax
carrier and one intermediate tanker, initial data from shiptracker Kpler
shows. The figures could change as some ships typically switch off
transponders during the voyage.Jacob Magid contributed to this report.

IAEA
head welcomes new government's cooperation-IAEA says findings at Syrian
site hit by Israel ‘consistent with a nuclear reactor’
In
confidential report, UN nuclear watchdog says ousted Assad regime
‘failed to report nuclear material, facilities and activities’ at Deir
Ezzor, which Israel struck in 2007 By AFP and ToI Staff 1 September
2026, 9:56 pm
A Syrian site held infrastructure “consistent with a
nuclear reactor,” the UN nuclear watchdog said in a confidential report
seen by AFP on Tuesday, adding that the country’s former authorities
“failed to report nuclear material, facilities and
activities.”Inspectors of the International Atomic Energy Agency (IAEA)
last month visited two sites, one in Deir Ezzor and a second location
related to nuclear material identified by Syria.The Deir Ezzor site
nuclear reactor was the target of an Israeli strike in September 2007.
Israel did not officially take responsibility for the bombing for more
than a decade, in part to avoid retaliation from Damascus. But Jerusalem
was widely presumed to be behind the strike, and officially
acknowledged it in 2018.“Based on observations made by the agency at the
Deir Ezzor site, the agency confirms that the cooling infrastructure
which has now been uncovered is consistent with that of a nuclear
reactor,” the IAEA said.The agency said it would continue to monitor the
activities at the site “as the excavation work progresses.”“Based on
the information provided by Syria and the results of the agency’s
verification activities conducted at several locations in Syria, the
agency is able to establish that the former Syrian authorities had
failed to report nuclear material, facilities and activities,” it
said.Those include “a nuclear reactor under construction” at the Deir
Ezzor site.In the report, IAEA head Rafael Grossi welcomed “Syria’s
transparency and cooperation with the agency.”“Syria has taken measures
to remedy the situation by providing to the agency the required nuclear
material accounting reports and design information for the
above-mentioned facilities,” the report said.Grossi said last month in
Damascus that IAEA inspectors had found several tons of nuclear material
in Syria, at a site Damascus reported to the agency last month.He
praised Damascus’s “courageous decision” to report the undisclosed site,
which dates back to the rule of ousted former leader Bashar al-Assad.
Thai
resort braces for 5,000 sailors from USS Lincoln after lengthy Mideast
deployment-Following reports of deteriorating mental health aboard US
Navy ship, aircraft carrier set to make its first stop since November in
Pattaya, Thailand By Agencies Today, 1:44 pm-SEP 1,26
A US
aircraft carrier at the center of a political fight over conditions on
board was set to arrive in Thailand on Tuesday, the first port call for
its 5,000-strong crew since November.The thousands of service members
are about to descend on eastern Thailand, as the USS Abraham Lincoln
makes a port call near the city of Pattaya, famous for its beaches and
nightlife.The aircraft carrier sailed past Singapore over the weekend on
its way back to the US after a lengthy deployment in the Middle East as
part of the US war against Iran.The nuclear-powered ship — one of the
US Navy’s largest warships — left California in November 2025 for duty
in the South China Sea and was rerouted to the Middle East before
US-Israeli attacks on Iran that began six months ago.Reports of
deteriorating living conditions and poor mental health on board —
including attempted suicides — made headlines in the United States,
provoking criticism of US President Donald Trump’s war against Iran. The
deployment included a record-setting uninterrupted time at sea of more
than 250 days, which caused concerns following reports of shortages of
supplies including food and hygiene products.The Lincoln is expected to
dock at a port in Chonburi province this week, according to Thai
officials.More than 5,000 American service members are onboard and many
are expected to visit Pattaya, according to the city’s Mayor Poramet
Ngampichet, who hopes the port call will boost the local economy. He
said destroyer USS Frank E. Petersen Jr. will dock at a different
port.“For Pattaya to be seen as an important vacation spot is something
that we have aimed for,” Poramet said. “We welcome more visits of the
troops in the future, whether for a drill or a vacation, before they go
back to the US.”After meeting with American officials Monday, Poramet
shared that the service members will be banned from certain recreational
activities such as parasailing and marijuana use. Medical cannabis was
legalized in Thailand in 2022 and dispensaries have become common in
Thai cities.“About 600 officials will provide security and other
necessary assistance,” provincial Governor Narit Niramaiwong told
AFP.Poramet said the visit is particularly welcome as international
tourism has declined worldwide due to soaring gas prices as a result of
the conflict in the Middle East.Government officials are warning local
businesses not to overcharge American sailors and there will be a
greater police presence in popular areas along Pattaya Beach and the
city’s Walking Street, he said.Pattaya, a popular beach destination
about 150 kilometers (93 miles) southeast of Bangkok, is also known for
its seedier night scene. In recent years, though, the city has tried to
promote its image instead for natural and cultural attractions.Law
enforcement agencies have been ordered to step up security measures to
prevent undesirable situations, city police Chief Anek Srathongyoo said.
He said that if any US service members break Thai law, they will be
prosecuted accordingly.Local business owners feeling the tourism slump
from the Iran war are eager for the new arrivals — a banner hung over a
local bar near a beach reading “Welcome all US military personnel Thank
you for your service.”Earlier in August, the usually Asia-based USS
George Washington relieved the long-deployed Lincoln in the Middle
East.Thai officials have said the Lincoln will return to the US after
its port call in Thailand.Once a sleepy fishing village, Pattaya was
transformed by the Vietnam War in the 1960s, when US soldiers on leave
began coming for rest and recreation. The city has since become hugely
popular with foreign tourists, known for its beaches and a nightlife
scene that has long drawn scrutiny over sex tourism.“We’re happy to get
business from anybody,” Nicko, the French owner of a go-go bar in
Pattaya, told AFP. “We’ll have to be careful because as we know, things
can get out of hand with alcohol involved.”
In first for US
state, California lawmakers pass bill to deem ‘Jewish’ an
ethnicity-Other bills ban false information in voting guides, prevent
public agencies from holding major events on religious holidays; Newsom
has until September 30 to sign bills into law By Sharon Udasin Today,
6:34 pm-SEP 1,26
JTA — California is poised to become the first
state to deem “Jewish” an ethnic and racial identity, after lawmakers
gave final approval to the groundbreaking legislation on Monday.The SB
1387 bill, which would expand the definition of ethnicity “to include
Jewish identity” in demographic data collection, will now head to the
governor’s desk. If the legislation becomes law, state agency forms that
allow for voluntary disclosures of ethnicity or race would also need to
offer a “Jewish” option.Both the State Assembly and Senate granted
final approval to the bill in the last few hours of California’s 2026
legislative session, which concluded at the end of the day on Monday.
Gov. Gavin Newsom, a Democrat, has until September 30 to sign bills into
law or veto them.The SB 1387 ethnicity legislation has been a priority
among many California Jewish organizations, who argue that Jewish
peoplehood should be connected to much more than just religion — and
that the law should reflect that understanding.This bill, which would
take effect in 2030, would affect forms issued by agencies ranging from
public schools to unemployment offices to prisons. Data collected would
serve to inform research initiatives, identify disparities and guide
policy decisions, while banning the disclosure of personal information,
per the bill.Joining SB 1387 in heading to the governor’s desk are five
other bills that are relevant to the state’s 1.2 million Jews, and that
had the support of the Jewish California coalition.On Sunday, the
legislature passed AB 1853, a bill that bars threatening, false, and
misleading information from California voter guides. Jewish California,
which represents 43 organizations, praised the legislation’s
advancement, stressing that 54 Jewish groups voiced their support for
the bill within 48 hours of its introduction.“Hate speech does not
belong in a state-approved document paid by tax dollars,” David
Bocarsly, CEO of Jewish California, said in a statement.“AB 1853 boldly
declares that our state’s official election documents can’t be used to
spread conspiracy theories and bigotry,” added Bocarsly, whose coalition
was not only a sponsor of this bill but also of SB 1387.Also on Sunday,
lawmakers approved AB 2664, the Safe Worship Zone Act, which would
create a 100-foot zone around the entrances of houses of worship, where
no one would be able to come within 8 feet of a congregant without their
consent.The bill, which received the backing of a wide-ranging
interfaith coalition, is modeled after Colorado’s bubble zone law that
offers patients protection around reproductive health clinics.“The rise
of antisemitism is undeniable, and our communities must be protected,”
Democratic Assemblymember Rebecca Bauer-Kahan, the bill’s author, said
in a statement.“AB 2664 gives communities an important tool to push back
against harassment and intimidation and protect the sanctity of our
houses of worship,” Bauer-Kahan added.Meanwhile, on Thursday, the
legislature approved AB 395, which would require government agencies,
K-12 schools and public universities to avoid scheduling major events or
meetings on days “that members of the public would be unable to
participate or be present due to the ritual observance of a religious,
cultural, or ancestral holiday.”Among the Jewish observances that would
be codified on a list of such holidays are Rosh Hashanah, Yom Kippur and
the first and last two days of Passover.“For too long and in too many
communities, religious minorities and other people of faith have been
asked to make difficult choices on the days that matter most to them,”
Democratic Assemblymember Jesse Gabriel, the bill’s author, said in a
statement.“This legislation would help to prevent that injustice and
ensure that Californians of all backgrounds can fully participate,
particularly when important decisions are being made,” added Gabriel,
who chairs the California Legislative Jewish Caucus.Lawmakers on
Thursday also approved another Gabriel bill, AB 1836, which seeks to
close a gap in the current structure of the California State Nonprofit
Security Grant Program. Because the program allocates security funds
only for a nonprofit’s physical building, off-site events like menorah
lightings on Chanukah were not eligible.A fifth bill relevant to the
Jewish community, AB 1763, is also heading to Newsom’s desk, after
passing in the legislature last Tuesday. This bill would include
religious holiday observance as a type of excused absence in schools,
without requiring a written request from a parent or guardian.
Vance
courts Jewish Republicans, but declines to clarify stance on Tucker
Carlson-US vice president stresses importance of relationship with
Israel in speech to Republican Jewish Coalition, blames rising
antisemitism on immigration By Joseph Strauss Today, 5:49 pm-SEP 1,26
LAS
VEGAS (JTA) – US Vice President JD Vance emphasized the importance of
the American-Israel relationship, pinned rising antisemitism on
immigration, and sidestepped a question about podcasters like Tucker
Carlson during a highly anticipated, closed-door appearance at the
Republican Jewish Coalition’s annual summit on Monday.Vance’s appearance
came at a moment when a number of Jewish Republicans have turned
against him over his reprimanding of Israeli officials, indulgence of
anti-Israel conspiracy theories, and his silence on Carlson, a prominent
media personality who promotes such narratives.Some donors have
indicated that they would prefer Secretary of State Marco Rubio to Vance
as the presidential nominee in 2028. Yet Vance was met with a standing
ovation as he took the stage, and received another one as he left,
according to multiple people who were in the room.Following the event,
RJC leaders said they felt the appearance was a positive step in the
relationship.“Today is not primary day. But I think today was progress
day for JD Vance and the Jewish community,” RJC board member Ari
Fleischer told reporters.The summit’s Monday evening portion was closed
to the press, but an audio recording of Vance’s 35-minute conversation
with Norm Coleman — the RJC’s chairman — was sent to the Jewish
Telegraphic Agency.During the conversation, Coleman asked Vance where he
drew the line when deciding which podcasts he could appear on. Coleman
named Carlson, Megyn Kelly, Joe Rogan and Nick Fuentes as examples of
hosts who have platformed antisemites, but Vance avoided mentioning
Carlson, answering only about Rogan and Fuentes.“I do not think that Joe
Rogan and Nick Fuentes are the same, just substantively,” Vance
said.“Obviously I’m not going to talk to a guy who’s attacked my wife or
said that Hitler is a good guy — but outside of some pretty bright
lines, I try to talk to as many people as I can,” Vance said.Vance’s
response, which advocated for a wide-tent approach, drew applause in the
room, though some were not pleased with the answer — nor the openness
of the question.“You might think that Norm Coleman — who owed his
audience a bit more — would have said, ‘Let’s address this Tucker
question once and for all: Where do you stand with him?’” said Neil
Cooper, an RJC member who said he’s run out of patience with the vice
president.Sid Rosenberg, the right-wing firebrand radio host, wrote that
Vance “had a chance to hammer @TuckerCarlson and @megynkelly but
instead spent all his time defending @joerogan over Nick Fuentes.”Ann
Rubinfeld, an RJC member who supports Vance for 2028, said she is deeply
opposed to Carlson but didn’t feel that the vice president needed to
address Carlson head-on. “I don’t think that needs to be said,” she
said.Vance received a number of ovations during the conversation,
including after Coleman commended him and Trump for leading what he said
was the most pro-Israel administration in American history. Chants of
“USA!” rang out as Vance took the stage. The warm reception may have
come as a surprise for some in the room.“This will be a tough crowd for
him tomorrow,” Florida Rep. Randy Fine told reporters on Monday. In the
morning leading up to Vance’s appearance, Rosenberg called on attendees
to “give Vance a chance.” Ron Dermer, who has served as Israeli
ambassador to the United States and strategic affairs minister, told the
crowd, “I hope you all give him a warm welcome,” and thanked Vance for
his “critical role” behind the scenes of the 12-day war fought with
Israel against Iran in 2025.Cooper said he’d expected “more skepticism,
even bordering on stony silence” heading into the event, but hoped to be
won over.He added, “People get too excited by celebrities.”Vance had
made a stop in Michigan earlier on Monday, and told the room that he met
with the rabbi of Temple Israel, as well as the security guards who
helped prevent an antisemitic attack on the synagogue. Vance also
referred to Michigan’s Republican nominee in the November senate race,
Mike Rogers, who is facing Democratic nominee Abdul El-Sayed, in what he
called “maybe the single most important candidate right now in this
midterm election.”Asked about his opinion on the US-Israel relationship,
Vance said Israel is “certainly one of our most important alliances in
the world,” and that Israel and America or any of its allies must always
be pursuing their own interests.“I’m very much a foreign policy
realist,” he said.Vance also brought up the “growing suspicion” of the
US-Israel relationship among people under 40, and said “we have to
articulate why this is in the best interest of the United States of
America,” listing benefits such as intelligence collection and
technology sharing.Some of the heat Vance has drawn from Jewish
Republicans has stemmed from comments he has made about Israel. In June,
in response to criticism of the Iran deal, Vance said that Israeli
cabinet members should not attack “the only powerful ally that I have
anywhere left in the entire world.”“We don’t forget statements like
that,” Valerie Greenfeld, an RJC member who lives in Jerusalem, said in a
text to JTA.Speaking about the rise of antisemitism in the United
States, Vance blamed it partly on immigration policy. He said that the
increase comes from “people who are bringing ancient ethnic hatreds into
the United States,” and that it is not a problem by-and-large among
white Americans.“You know, the Fuentes character who really does hate
Jews — and also by the way, really hates me and my family, so you’re in
good company — that is real,” Vance said. “But it’s not common among
most of our fellow citizens.”Vance condemned antisemitism, and drew
applause when he told attendees, on behalf of the White House
administration, “We love you guys, we appreciate you guys, and you will
very much always be on the team so long as I have any say in it.”Vance
spoke about his own Christian faith and the connections between it and
Judaism. He said he noticed similarities during a previous RJC event and
at the wedding of his Jewish former chief of staff, Jacob Reses, where
Vance did a reading.“There were all these liturgical similarities
between Judaism and Catholicism that are very fascinating,” Vance
said.Shabbos Kestenbaum, a Jewish conservative activist who attended the
RJC confab, wrote afterwards that he appreciates Vance’s commitment to
his religious beliefs, and that he agrees on forming foreign policy from
an “America first” perspective. But Vance had more to prove, he
said.“His refusal to unequivocally denounce and condemn Tucker, who just
called for Trump’s immediate removal, will make it very hard for the
American Jewish community to consider his otherwise stellar policies,”
he said.
Event under fire from Jewish Democrats for hosting
Vance-At GOP Jewish confab, speakers warn of far-left DSA candidates
ahead of midterms
While Democratic Socialists of America-backed
candidates may only rise to seven, Republicans paint rival Democratic
Party as ceding control to anti-Israel factionBy Joseph Strauss Today,
5:39 pm-SEP 1,26
LAS VEGAS (JTA) — Speakers at the Republican
Jewish Coalition’s annual convention at the Venetian Resort cast the
upcoming midterm elections as a battle against not just the Democratic
Party, but specifically its left-wing Democratic Socialists of America
faction.“A Democrat majority in November is not just a political setback
for our party and our movement; it is a direct threat to the Jewish
community,” said Joe Gruters, chairman of the Republican National
Committee. “The people in charge would not be moderate Democrats who
have occasionally pushed back on antisemitism. It would be the Squad. It
would be the DSA.”Ed Gallrein, the farmer and former Navy SEAL who
defeated Kentucky Rep. Thomas Massie in a Republican primary back in
May, said that “radical socialism sentiment is gaining ground across our
nation,” calling November’s elections a battle between “the
Constitution versus the Communist Manifesto.”Georgia Rep. Mike Collins,
who is challenging Democratic Sen. Jon Ossoff, accused the Jewish
senator of using November’s election as a springboard to run for
president in 2028 as “the DSA candidate.” (Ossoff has repeatedly denied
having interest in running for president. He is also neither a DSA
member nor has he been endorsed by the group.) Even the WiFi password
for the Vegas confab — “DSA=AntiUSA” — offered a rejection of the
group.The RJC’s summit comes after a string of victories by DSA members
and DSA-backed candidates in Democratic primaries across the country,
sparking criticism from Republicans and moderate Democrats who oppose
tenets of the group’s left-wing ideology, including its anti-Zionist
stance.The total number of House members endorsed by a DSA chapter could
rise from two to seven, depending on how November shakes out, in
addition to candidates in downballot races. Though there are 212
Democrats in the House, Republican officials on Sunday and Monday
painted the Democratic Party as one that is ceding control to the
DSA.China, Russia and Iran, Gallrein said, are hoping that “Democrats
controlled by the DSA take the House and the Senate, and that they can
exploit and divide America.”Speakers panned other DSA-backed politicians
such as New York City Mayor Zohran Mamdani and Michigan Rep. Rashida
Tlaib, as well as the streamer Hasan Piker, who has fundraised for
numerous DSA-endorsed candidates.Florida Rep. Randy Fine specifically
attacked Muslim politicians in the Democratic Party, saying he was
addressing “the elephant in the room.” He was among the speakers to say
that there are anti-Israel and antisemitic voices on both ends of the
political spectrum. The difference, he said, is that Republicans
“repudiate this evil” with actions like voting out Kentucky’s
anti-Israel congressman Massie, while Democrats elect anti-Israel
candidates.Tucker Carlson, the former Fox News personality who has
spread antisemitic conspiracy theories in recent years, was repudiated
by the RJC and also cast aside by the party’s leader, President Donald
Trump. Trump’s second-in-command JD Vance, however, has made no such
condemnation, to the chagrin of many Jewish Republicans.With Vance set
to speak at the RJC’s summit on Monday night, multiple Jewish Democratic
groups blasted the RJC for hosting him, particularly in a session that
is closed to the press.“JD Vance may be speaking behind closed doors,
but he should not be able to avoid questions about his attacks on
Israel, his failure to confront antisemitism within the MAGA movement,
and his continued alliance with Tucker Carlson,” said Brian Romick,
president and CEO of Democratic Majority for Israel, in a
statement.“What’s next, a live taping with Tucker Carlson on the main
stage?” the Jewish Democratic Council of America wrote.In a statement to
the Jewish Telegraphic Agency, the JDCA’s CEO Halie Soifer said, “The
RJC may choose to highlight the less than ten DSA candidates on the
ballot in November for their own cynical political purposes, but Jewish
voters see past their deflection and lies, just as they see the
Republican Party for what it is — the party of Donald Trump.”
Syria
says it’s working ‘seriously’ on diplomatic solution with Israel
despite attacks-FM al-Shaibani reports US-mediated talks aim for full
Israeli withdrawal to pre-December 2024 lines, pans Katz’s remarks on
IDF remaining in Syrian territoryBy AFP and ToI Staff Today, 4:21 pm-SEP
1,26
Syrian Foreign Minister Asaad al-Shaibani said Tuesday that
his country was working toward a “diplomatic solution” with Israel,
with US mediation, despite ongoing Israeli strikes in the country.The
two countries have been in a constant state of war since the
establishment of Israel in 1948.Israel has launched numerous strikes in
Syria since the current Islamist authorities’ forces ousted longtime
ruler Bashar al-Assad in December 2024, often saying they are necessary
to stop military hardware falling into the hands of hostile elements
amid the regime change. The latest came last month, when the Israeli Air
Force struck a disused Syrian military airport, saying Turkey was
planning to deploy forces there and Damascus had ignored Jerusalem’s
warnings on the matter. Ankara denied the Israeli allegations.In
addition, Israel has sent troops into a UN-patrolled buffer zone that
had separated Israeli and Syrian forces on the Golan Heights since 1974.
Israel has also carried out repeated incursions deeper into Syrian
territory and has vowed to keep troops in a “security zone” in southern
Syria, where it seeks a broader demilitarized area.“The attacks are
still ongoing. We observed 65 incursions in July alone, and 52 in the
first 18 days of August,” Shaibani told a press conference with his
visiting Danish counterpart, Lars Lokke Rasmussen.He slammed a “campaign
of raids on homes in Quneitra province and the Damascus countryside,”
and said Syria has registered 147 cases of Israeli troops detaining
Syrians so far this year, with “49 of them still detained.”Israel argues
such operations are necessary to defend its border amid the unrest and
lawlessness brought about by the regime change.“Despite these
challenges, we are still committed to the option of a diplomatic
solution, and we are working seriously to achieve this,” Shaibani said,
adding: “We are engaged in negotiations mediated by the United States of
America.”Israel and Syria have held several rounds of direct talks,
most recently last week in Jordan, where Mossad chief Roman Gofman and
Shaibani held a meeting to defuse tensions between the countries, Syrian
state media reported. The US administration reportedly pushed for the
meeting.Hours before the meeting was reported, al-Shaibani said in an
interview with the Reuters news agency that Syria expected negotiations
with Israel to resume soon, urging Israel to seize a “historic
opportunity” as the door for diplomacy is open.Israel and Syria held
direct talks last year aimed at reaching a groundbreaking security
agreement that ultimately failed to materialize.Then, after January
negotiations in Paris, the sides agreed to establish an
intelligence-sharing mechanism as they edge toward such a security
agreement.Shaibani told Tuesday’s press conference that statements from
Israeli officials expressing their intention to keep forces in Jabal
al-Sheikh, or Mount Hermon, are “an explicit declaration on
consolidating the occupation” and that they invalidate “any flimsy
security pretexts.”He said the talks aim to “stop the attacks and
arrests” and secure an Israeli withdrawal to pre-December 2024
positions, “with a full return to adherence to the 1974 disengagement
agreement.”Last week, Defense Minister Israel Katz visited troops in
southern Syria, reiterating a pledge to keep forces in the area as long
as there are “threats” to the country’s security.In June, Syria’s
President Ahmed al-Sharaa said in an interview that his country was
working toward a security agreement with Israel, which he said could
eventually pave the way for comprehensive peace between the two
neighbors.
In unprecedented move, Abbas and Segalovitz announce
joint run, bringing Jewish lawmaker to Arab party’s slate-Ra’am chief:
We need to create partnerships and ‘see the other as a human being, not
as an enemy’; Segalovitz: ‘The assertion that after October 7 it is
impossible to maintain a political partnership with Arab parties is
false’By Sam Sokol-and JTA 31 August 2026, 10:58 pm-SEP 1,26
Ra’am
party head Mansour Abbas and Yoav Segalovitz — a Jewish, Zionist former
police official, lawmaker and deputy minister — announced Monday
evening that Segalovitz will run with Ra’am, an Arab party, in the
October 27 election.The announcement capped weeks of speculation that
Segalovitz would take the unprecedented step of joining forces with
Ra’am. While the predominantly Arab party Hadash has long included a
Jewish lawmaker, Ra’am has never done so. Segalovitz is expected to be
placed at No. 2, behind Abbas, on the Ra’am slate. The party has been
polling at around 4-5 seats.“In every generation, there is a moment when
fear and hope stand together in the same room. This evening, in this
room, hope won out,” Abbas said as he stood next to Segalovitz at a
joint press conference. “Welcome Yoav,” he said, “we have work to
do.”Ra’am emerged as the kingmaker after the 2021 election, when its
support was crucial to the formation of the Bennett-Lapid government.
Polls suggest it could find itself in a similar position after the
October 27 vote. Opposition frontrunner Gadi Eisenkot has said he would
consider partnering with any party that recognizes Israel as a Jewish
and democratic state, endorses the values of the Declaration of
Independence and commits to all Israelis performing national service,
but has refused to be drawn on whether Ra’am, with or without
Segalovitz, would meet those criteria.Ra’am was founded in 1996, and its
name is an abbreviation that stands for United Arab List. The party was
traditionally a religious Muslim one, but over the past year it has
separated itself from the religious institutions that had dominated it.
In recent years, Abbas has led an effort to distinguish Ra’am from the
three other mainly Arab parties, which are running in October on a joint
slate, and has been focusing on Jewish-Arab cooperation and domestic
issues affecting Israel’s Arab community, such as crime, rather than the
Israeli-Palestinian conflict.Ra’am’s top priority is eliminating crime
and violence against innocent citizens, Abbas said at Monday’s press
conference, asserting that every Arab parent goes to sleep asking
themselves, “Will my children return home safely?”The only way to
accomplish this goal is to create partnerships and “to see the other as a
human being, not as an enemy,” he continued, praising Segalovitz as “an
officer who has stood up to criminals his whole life without asking
what their religion is” and “an honest, quiet man who doesn’t seek
headlines.”Segalovitz established the police’s Lahav 433 serious crime
unit and is a former commander of the police’s Investigations and
Intelligence Division. He was credited with helping reduce crime in Arab
Israeli communities during his tenure as deputy minister for public
security in the 2021-2022 Bennett-Lapid government.Surveys have shown
that the inclusion of Segalovitz, a former member of the centrist Yesh
Atid party who recently resigned from the Knesset, could boost Ra’am’s
showing at the polls.As for why an Arab party needs a Jewish police
officer, “my answer is simple,” Abbas said. “I’m not looking for someone
who is like me. I’m looking for someone who knows how to do the job.
And the Arab citizen who buried his son doesn’t ask what the policeman’s
religion is. He asks why no one comes.”ddressing his decision to run
with Abbas, Segalovitz said he was guided by Zionist and Jewish values
and that while he and Abbas do not intend to change each other, “it is
possible to cooperate politically based on trust, recognition of
difference, and commitment to joint action.”“The common assertion that
after October 7 it is impossible to maintain a political partnership
with Arab parties is baseless and false,” Segalovitz continued, adding
that he wants to “break the paradigm of how political partnership is
created.”Segalovitz said he wanted to forge the alliance “precisely at
this time, when there is such social polarization between Jews and
Arabs.” He said he hoped to “build a real political bridge,” while
acknowledging that it would face difficulties. “Even if the bridge is
shaky or unstable, it will be built, and it will serve as a foundation
for political cooperation going forward,” he said.Segalovitz will not
become a member of the Ra’am party but will run on the Ra’am slate in a
technical alliance. He will retain freedom of action in the Knesset
while Ra’am will not change its constitution or decision-making
processes.While reports have previously said Segalovitz was conditioning
the move on Ra’am recognizing Israel as a Jewish state, there was no
such announcement on Monday.Channel 12 reported that one of Segalovitz’s
top priorities will be to advance national service for Arab citizens.A
Times of Israel poll showed earlier this month that 56 percent of
opposition voters would support including Ra’am with Segalovitz in a
possible coalition, while 30% opposed doing so. The poll found that if
Ra’am joined a governing coalition, it would give the opposition bloc a
63-seat majority in the 120-seat Knesset.Bitter criticism from the
Netanyahu coalition-Responding to the announcement, Prime Minister
Benjamin Netanyahu’s Likud party accused Segalovitz of seeking to
establish a Palestinian state. “Even Segalovitz won’t hide the fact that
Mansour Abbas refuses to recognize Hamas and Hezbollah as terrorist
organizations and is pushing to establish a Palestinian state,” it said.
“Together with [Gadi] Eisenkot, [Avigdor] Liberman and Yair Golan, they
are going to establish a Palestinian state government.”National
Security Minister Itamar Ben-Gvir called it “a joint conspiracy by the
left to pave the way for a future government with the Muslim
Brotherhood.” Likud lawmaker Tally Gotliv called Segalovitz Abbas’s “pet
Jew” and warned that the move could lead to “the imposition of sharia
law on Israel.”After the announcement, Knesset Speaker Amir Ohana, a
member of Netanyahu’s Likud party, wrote on X that “Eisenkot has no
coalition without Abbas,” and accused Segalovitz of joining Ra’am in
order to legitimize its participation in a future Eisenkot-led
government. Ohana described Ra’am as an “Islamist list whose members are
unable to say ‘Hamas is a terrorist organization,’” and argued that
such a government would be unable to fight Hamas, Hezbollah or Iran’s
nuclear program.National Security Minister Itamar Ben Gvir posted an
image depicting Abbas and Segalovitz wearing keffiyehs alongside Hamas
flags, while Energy Minister Eli Cohen said the move was intended to
legitimize what he called Abbas’ “fifth column.”Abbas recently sparked
controversy when he called on Israel to recognize an “independent
Palestinian state” during a speech to party delegates at their
convention in Taibe.He subsequently was reported to have reassured
opposition party leaders that his belief in the Palestinian right to
self-determination would not be translated into a demand for policy
change during potential coalition talks after the election. There is
currently widespread opposition in Israel to establishing a Palestinian
state.Abbas has said repeatedly that Netanyahu tried to recruit Ra’am
when attempting to build a coalition in 2021. Religious Zionism leader
Bezalel Smotrich, Netanyahu’s finance minister, said he prevented this.
IDF
strikes Gaza as Hamas official captured in reported raid by
Israel-backed militia-Military carries out heavy wave of strikes, says
it struck targets to ‘remove threats to security forces’ amid apparent
operation by anti-Hamas armed group; 3 said killed By Emanuel Fabian and
Nurit Yohanan
Today, 1:52 pmUpdated at 4:49 pm-SEP 1,26
The
Israeli military carried out heavy strikes in Gaza City on Tuesday
morning, reportedly in support of a Palestinian militia attempting to
abduct an official in the Hamas terror group.Defense Minister Israel
Katz later announced that a senior Hamas member had been captured,
without elaborating on who carried out the raid or providing further
details on the target. The whereabouts of the official were
unclear.Palestinian media claimed that a “special Israeli unit”
infiltrated the western part of Gaza City. In an attempt to secure the
unit after it was discovered by Hamas operatives, the Israel Defense
Forces carried out shelling and airstrikes in the area, the reports
claimed, killing at least three and wounding eight.At times, Palestinian
media has referred to Israeli-backed anti-Hamas militias operating in
the Strip as “Israeli forces.” In the past, Israel has provided
anti-Hamas militias with air support.The IDF confirmed carrying out
strikes against “a number of targets” in the Gaza Strip, saying it was
to “remove threats to security forces” — without specifying whether they
were Israeli forces.No Israeli troops were injured in the incident, the
military added.Speaking from the Gaza-border community of Netiv
Ha’asara, Katz said in a video statement that “even as we stand here,
the activity of our forces in Gaza City continues at all times,”
referring to the Israeli strikes.“A short while ago, a senior Hamas
terrorist was arrested. This is our policy: We do not wait for threats,
we pursue Hamas terrorists, thwart them, and destroy their terror
infrastructure,” Katz said.Katz did not provide any further details.An
Israeli security source claimed the captured Hamas commander, Muein
al-Arabid, was the chief of the terror group’s internal security
apparatus. Other security sources said al-Arabid was a senior official
in the apparatus.Saudi outlet Al-Hadath reported that Israeli-backed
Palestinian militias attempted to abduct an unidentified individual in
Gaza City, and Qatar’s Al-Araby TV reported that an armed militia tried
to target a senior official in Hamas’s internal security
apparatus.Al-Majd al-Amni, a website affiliated with Hamas, reported
that “an Israeli special force attempted to carry out a security
operation aimed at targeting a figure from the ‘resistance’ [a term used
for terror groups in Gaza], but [Hamas’s] security forces thwarted the
mission.”“The failure is an embarrassment for the occupation army,” the
report claimed.Al-Quds al-Ikhbariya, another Hamas-affiliated outlet,
claimed that during the operation, Hamas operatives attempted to capture
members of the “Israeli special force,” but Israeli air intervention
prevented them from doing so.There was no immediate official comment
from Hamas on the raid and the claimed arrest of a senior member of the
terror group.For over a year, Israel has provided several anti-Hamas
armed groups with weapons, air support, intelligence, food, and
cigarettes, and has airlifted wounded militia members into Israel for
medical care. It has also provided them with light weapons, largely
rifles.Footage and statements released by the groups point to forces
numbering at most a few hundred armed men. Their operations appear
sporadic but ongoing, involving clashes with Hamas alongside efforts
aimed at boosting their popularity among Gaza residents. One group based
in IDF-controlled areas of the southern Gaza Strip said earlier this
year that it was working on demolishing the terror group’s tunnels on
behalf of Israel.IDF says Hamas commander targeted in separate strike;
weapons supply commander killed on Monday-In a separate incident later
Tuesday, the IDF said it struck a Hamas commander in northern Gaza’s
Jabalia.Palestinian media reported several injuries in a strike in the
Strip’s north.The military justified the strike amid the ceasefire by
saying that the unnamed commander had been advancing attacks on troops
and civilians, as well as trying to restore Hamas capabilities, “in
systematic violation of the ceasefire.”The strike was carried out to
“remove the threat,” the military added.On Monday, the military said
that a Hamas commander in charge of supplying weapons to the terror
group was killed in an airstrike in Gaza City.The strike in the city’s
Sabra neighborhood killed Omar Mohammed Roshdy Saraj, who the IDF said
was a commander in Hamas’s “supply and maintenance company” in Gaza
City.“As part of his role, the terrorist managed the supply of weapons
to Hamas terrorists in Gaza City,” the military said.Another Hamas
operative was targeted in the same strike, according to the IDF.The IDF
said both terror operatives had been advancing attacks on troops and
civilians, as well as trying to restore Hamas capabilities, “in
systematic violation of the ceasefire.”Palestinian media reported that
Israeli strikes in Gaza City on Monday killed five people.An October
2025 US-backed ceasefire halted major fighting in the shattered
territory, but it failed to end strikes by the Israeli military, which
it said aimed to thwart attacks by Hamas and other Gaza terrorists. Gaza
remains bisected into Israeli- and Hamas-controlled areas.Hamas accuses
Israel of violating the ceasefire and undermining efforts to implement a
broader plan by US President Donald Trump to end the Gaza conflict,
which also includes Israeli withdrawals and Hamas disarmament. However,
the terror group has refused to completely give up its weapons or disarm
at all until Israel withdraws.More than 1,300 Palestinians have been
killed in Gaza since the ceasefire took effect last October, according
to Gazan health officials, while four Israeli soldiers have been
killed.
Anti-torture watchdog says indictment a 'drop in the
ocean'12 guards charged with reckless homicide for fatally beating
Palestinian prisoner
Thaer Abu Asab, jailed since 2005 over terror
attack, died in Ketziot Prison in November 2023; senior officer accused
of ordering violent assault that caused cardiac arrest By Jeremy
Sharon-Today, 8:19 pm-SEP 1,26
Twelve prison guards were indicted
Tuesday on charges of reckless homicide in the death of Palestinian
prisoner Thaer Abu Asab in November 2023, who was severely beaten in his
prison cell in Ketziot Prison in the Negev desert.Abu Asab sustained
tears in the wall of the heart on the left-ventricular side and in the
right atrium, and several broken ribs, as a result of the beating, which
led to cardiac failure and his ultimate death, the indictment
said.“Immediately upon entering the cell, as detailed above, the
defendants, acting together, beat the deceased [Abu Asab] and all the
other prisoners in the cell with their fists and kicked them. Some of
them struck the prisoners forcefully with batons while some of the
prisoners were lying on the floor, screaming and crying from the
severity of the blows,” the indictment alleged.The indictment said Hatib
led the prison guards to the cell, entered it with them, and beat at
least one prisoner while overseeing the physical assault of the other
prisoners by the other guards, only ordering the prison guards to stop
and leave after several minutes.The indictment said that the prison
guards intended to physically harm the prisoners and were aware that the
beatings could prove deadly.Abu Asab, 38 at the time of his death, was a
member of the Fatah movement and had been jailed since 2005 on charges
of attempted murder relating to a terror attack.In a statement, the
Public Committee Against Torture in Israel praised the indictment even
though it was a “drop in the ocean.”“In a normal reality, this decision
should have been the first step toward bringing the truth to light and
achieving justice for the victims — and full justice for the accused,”
the watchdog group said.“However, as long as Israel pursues a policy in
which prisoners are denied basic rights, and government ministers are
photographed glibly glorifying their own humiliation and dehumanization,
it is highly doubtful that this can be achieved,” it added, in an
apparent reference to National Security Itamar Ben Gvir, who has
repeatedly published footage of himself tormenting prisoners.The
far-right Ben Gvir, whose ministry oversees the prison service, voiced
his support for the guards when they were questioned.According to the
Physicians for Human Rights Israel organization, 105 Palestinian
prisoners and security prisoners have died in Israeli prisons and
detention facilities since the October 7, 2023, Hamas invasion and amid
the subsequent wars.Israel’s Public Defender’s Office has reported on
severe violence against Palestinian prisoners since October 7, while
numerous Israeli and international organizations have alleged that
Palestinian prisoners have been subjected to systemic violence and abuse
in Israeli prisons and detention centers over the last three years.

Today, 1:42 pm-SEP 1,26
Thailand on Monday announced that it will
shorten the visa-free stay for tourists from dozens of countries,
including Israel, from 60 to 30 days, amid anger over the conduct of
tourists in the country.The new regulations will go into effect on
September 15, and will not affect tourists already in the country.
Travelers will still be able to request an extra 30-day travel period,
which is subject to approval by Thai authorities.The shortened visa-free
period is not specifically targeted at Israelis, and will apply to
tourists from 60 countries, including the US, UK, Canada, New Zealand,
Australia, France, Germany, Italy and Japan.The new regulations also
limits land border entries to two per calendar year, restricting
international travel from other Southeast Asian nations.Thailand has
long been a popular destination for Israelis. According to the Straits
Times, last year some 420,000 Israelis entered the country, and some
30,000 live there full-time.But the conduct of Israeli tourists in
Thailand has drawn anger from locals, with hundreds of people in a
popular Thai resort gathering last week to protest misbehavior by
tourists, with a particular focus on Israelis.The protest on a beach in
Patong, on the island of Phuket in Thailand, was titled “Save Phuket.”
While organizers said it opposed inappropriate conduct by tourists in
general, reports in Thai and Hebrew media say the protest emphasized
criticism of Israelis, and Israel as a country.Israeli tourists and
expats in Thailand have been under increased scrutiny in recent months
due to a surge in disruptive behavior and culture clashes with locals.In
February, amid a spate of cases, the Israeli embassy in Thailand put
out a statement warning nationals that such behavior had “negatively
impacted the image of Israeli tourists and may affect the warm reception
Israelis receive in Thailand.”The new regulations come as Thailand has
increased penalties for tourists who break the law or disrespect the
local culture. Foreigners who run afoul of those rules can have their
visas revoked and be barred from returning.“We do not welcome and will
not tolerate tourists who disregard the law, lack morality, disrespect
Thai people, or cause trouble and disrupt our social order,” said
Tourism Minister Surasak Phancharoenworakul, according to the Straits
Times.
Graffiti reads 'Regards to Huckabee from the
terrorists'-West Bank mosque said torched by settlers; 8 arrested for
assaults on Palestinians, mosque arsons-Suspects aged 16 to 20; 4
Palestinians shot during raid by settlers, soldiers; elderly Palestinian
woman beaten; former Israeli officials to NYT: Settler violence is
‘like the Germans’By Nurit Yohanan,Emanuel Fabian and ToI Staff Today,
11:47 am-SEP 1,26
Police announced Tuesday that they had arrested
eight suspects allegedly involved in a series of arson attacks against
Palestinians in the West Bank, hours after yet another mosque was
reportedly burned by settlers in a Palestinian village in a separate
incident.A number of former top Israeli political and military
officials, meanwhile, harshly denounced the unchecked settler violence,
with some comparing it to Nazi behavior, in comments published by The
New York Times on Monday.Palestinian media outlets reported Tuesday that
settlers set fire to a mosque overnight in the village of Bizzariya in
the Nablus area of the northern West Bank. No injuries were
reported.Graffiti in Hebrew sprayed nearby was also documented,
including one message reading “Evacuations [of outposts] = trouble.
You’ve been warned,” and another that read: “Regards to Huckabee from
the terrorists.”US Ambassador to Israel Mike Huckabee — a staunch
supporter of West Bank settlements — has denounced violent settler
extremists who besieged homes in Qusra last month as “Israeli
terrorists.”Huckabee said Tuesday that it was “truly sad that someone
would take pride in being a terrorist. But a small group that damages
the reputation of 99.9% of Israelis who live by both civil law and the
Torah does not represent the Jewish people or the rest of Israel.”The
graffiti in Bizzariya included a warning to Roy Sharon, the military
reporter for the Kan public broadcaster, appearing to threaten to torch
his vehicle. In response, Kan said the threats “will not deter Roy and
the Kan news team from continuing to provide reliable and professional
reports, including on disturbances in Judea and Samaria,” and called on
police to act swiftly to find the perpetrators.Meanwhile, eight Israelis
were arrested overnight in the West Bank for suspected involvement in
“serious arson and assault incidents in the South Hebron Hills,” police
said Tuesday.Three vehicles allegedly used by the suspects to carry out
offenses were seized. The suspects, residents of the West Bank and
central Israel aged 16 to 20, were taken for questioning, police said.In
a statement, police said they view “with utmost severity cases of
violence and property damage that harm the security of the state and the
entire settlement enterprise.”Police told The Times of Israel that some
of the detainees are suspected of setting fire to a mosque and several
homes in Tuba in the South Hebron Hills on August 5, in an incident in
which six Palestinians were beaten and injured by settlers, according to
the Palestinians. Others are suspected of setting fire to a mosque in
al-Tuwani, also in the South Hebron Hills, on July 19.4 Palestinians
shot, elderly woman beaten-Separately, an elderly Palestinian woman was
hospitalized with a serious head injury after being beaten by settlers
during a raid of the central West Bank village of Burqa on Monday
evening, according to the Red Crescent emergency service.The woman’s
husband was also injured, and several sheep belonging to residents of
the village were stolen, according to a report in the Al Jazeera news
outlet.Burqa Mayor Sayel Kanaan told the Palestinian Authority’s Wafa
news agency that settlers broke into a home on the outskirts of the
village and beat a woman and child inside. The settlers also tried to
torch a tractor, a vehicle scrapyard and a sheep pen, according to the
mayor.Wafa claimed that the IDF arrived at the scene shortly after the
settlers and worked to break up the altercation, but arrested only
Palestinians. There was no comment from the IDF on the incident.On
Sunday, four Palestinians were reported shot during a raid of the
central West Bank village of al-Mughayyir by Israeli soldiers and
settlers.The Palestine Red Crescent Emergency Service claimed that its
medics treated four Palestinians struck by live fire and took them to a
nearby hospital.Footage shows settlers appearing to participate in a
raid along with IDF soldiers. One clip shows settlers purportedly
stealing belongings from Palestinians in one of the targeted homes.On
Monday, a military official claimed that IDF troops attempted to stop
some 25 Israeli settlers who entered the central West Bank village of
al-Mughayyir the night before.The official said troops were dispatched
to the scene and dispersed the settlers, but several Palestinians then
arrived and hurled stones. The soldiers returned fire, hitting several
of the Palestinians, the official added.Troops later left the scene
after they saw that both the Israelis and Palestinians had dispersed,
according to the military official.Surging violence by Israeli settlers
across the West Bank — largely unchecked by Israeli authorities — has
been met with severe condemnation from Western allies in recent weeks,
including the United States..Like the Germans’A New York Times report
published Monday cited a number of former senior Israeli defense
officials denouncing the violence as the biggest danger to Israeli
security as well as reminiscent of Nazi behavior toward Jews.“When you
are burning books, when you are destroying knowledge and attacking
children, you’re like the Germans,” retired Air Force general Nehemia
Dagan, who also served as the IDF’s chief education officer, told the
newspaper during a tour of the West Bank in late June. “We have lost
ourselves, and we have lost this fight.”Settler violence has surged in
recent months, with daily attacks and harassment. Prosecutions are rare,
and critics accuse the IDF and Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu’s
government of condoning or even encouraging the violence.Israel’s former
ambassador to Spain Raphael Schutz told the newspaper that the
testimony he heard about Palestinians forced to flee their homes
reminded him of his mother, who fled Nazi Germany when she was a
child.“To her, it is inconceivable that Jews can behave this way,”
Schutz said. “I’m glad I left the foreign service. It would be
impossible for me to explain this.”Another retired Israeli Air Force
general, Asaf Agmon, also likened the settlers’ efforts to expel
Palestinians from the West Bank to the actions of the Nazis, while
clarifying the difference in scope of the violence.“Once a society
behaves this way, that society is doomed,” Agmon said.“I’ve earned the
right to speak. My family and I paid the highest price for this
country,” added Agmon, whose grandson, Sgt. Gur Kehati, was killed
fighting in Lebanon last year. “I am ashamed of what our people are
doing here.”Gal Levertov, who headed the Justice Ministry’s
international division and helped represent Israel in front of the
International Criminal Court, told the Times: “If I had to, I could make
a legal defense of what the Israel Defense Forces have done in Gaza.
But what is happening today in the West Bank? It’s indefensible.”And
retired IDF Maj. Gen. Eyal Ben-Reuven told the newspaper that “what the
settlers are doing here is the real threat to Israel,” adding: “This is
more concerning to me than Iran, Gaza or Lebanon.”
Poll shows
pro-Netanyahu bloc pulling even with opponents, in sharp shift-TV survey
puts dueling blocs at 53 seats each, well shy of a majority, with PM
appearing to benefit from Ofer Winter’s predicted entry to the Knesset
and Religious Zionism-Zehut merger-By ToI Staff Today, 6:53 am-SEP 3,26
An
Israeli television poll released Wednesday showed the bloc of parties
supporting Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu pulling even with his
opponents, in a stark shift from most recent polls, though neither side
was forecast to be close to attaining a Knesset majority.The poll had
the pro- and anti-Netanyahu blocs winning 53 seats each if the October
27 elections were held today, eight shy of a 61-seat majority. Arab
parties held the balance of 14 seats.That result marked a significant
change from the network’s previous poll a week ago, which showed the
opposition leading the pro-Netanyahu parties 57 to 48, with 15 for the
Arab parties.The change appeared largely due to two right-wing
pro-Netanyahu parties making it into the Knesset: Ofter Winter’s People
of Israel, with four seats, and the new merger of the far-right
Religious Zionism and Zehut parties, with six.In addition, Netanyahu’s
Likud party narrowed its gap with the election frontrunner, the
opposition Yashar party led by Gadi Eisenkot. Last week, Channel 13
found that Yashar would win 24 and Likud 19. This week, however, Yashar
would win 22, just one more than Likud’s 21.The addition of Jewish
former lawmaker Yoav Segalovitz to the Arab Ra’am party did not change
its polling performance, at five seats. But the mainly Arab Joint List
has been rising in recent surveys, weakening the Zionist opposition
bloc, and reaching 9 seats in the new poll.The survey also showed a
further slide in support for B’Yachad, the joint slate led by former
prime minister Naftali Bennet and Opposition Leader Yair Lapid, which
dropped from 13 to 12 seats.Failing to clear the minimum vote threshold
needed to enter the Knesset were the Unity party of former Likudniks
Yuli Edelstein and Gilad Erdan, Benny Gantz’s Blue and White and Yoaz
Hendel and Chili Tropper’s Zionist Home-The Reservists.The poll, which
was published ahead of the September 8 deadline for parties to file
their slates of candidates, had 940 respondents and a 3.4% margin of
error.
Israel confirms capturing Hamas internal security chief in
Gaza City raid-Special forces from Shin Bet descend on building in
Strip, nab Muein al-Arabid in ‘bold operation,’ PM, military, and
security agency say By Emanuel Fabian-1 September 2026, 9:28 pm
“Special
forces” of the Shin Bet captured the commander of Hamas’s internal
security apparatus in a “bold operation” in Gaza City on Tuesday
morning, according to Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu, the military,
and the domestic security agency.Arabic-language media claimed earlier
in the day that an Israeli-backed anti-Hamas militia carried out a raid
during which the Hamas security chief, Muein al-Arabid, was captured.But
in a statement later Tuesday, Netanyahu said he commended “the Shin Bet
and the IDF, who in a bold operation arrested today the head of
building Hamas’s internal security apparatus near his home in Gaza.”In a
separate statement, the Israel Defense Forces and Shin Bet said the
raid was carried out by “special forces” of the security agency.The IDF
and Shin Bet said the special forces raided a building in Gaza City and
captured the Hamas security chief.During the raid, the Israeli Air Force
carried out strikes on several “military targets in the area to remove
threats to the forces.” No Israeli forces were injured in the operation,
the joint statement said.The security chief had recently been working
to “consolidate the Hamas terror organization’s control over the
northern Gaza Strip” and to advance attacks on IDF troops deployed in
the Strip, according to the military.Netanyahu said the captured officer
is “one of Hamas’s most senior leaders, was responsible for hiding and
moving our hostages, hiding senior Hamas officials, force build-up, and
attempting to restore the capabilities of the terror
organization.”“Recently, he was engaged in efforts to restore Hamas’s
governance in Gaza, in deception regarding the issue of demilitarizing
the Strip, and assisted in carrying out terror attacks against our
forces and our civilians,” he said.The IDF added that the operation was
intended to “remove threats and undermine Hamas’s control in the area
and its plans to advance terrorist activities against IDF troops and
Israeli civilians.”Netanyahu, in his statement, added that Israel “will
continue to pursue all Hamas leaders and everyone who took part in the
October 7 massacre.”Footage published by Al Jazeera showed moments from
the raid. The footage showed a van arriving at the scene, apparently
while the incident was already underway, with gunfire heard coming from
forces inside the vehicle. Shortly beforehand, a man was seen crawling
nearby and attempting to hide, apparently al-Arabid.Earlier Tuesday,
Defense Minister Israel Katz announced that a senior Hamas member had
been captured, without elaborating on who carried out the raid or
providing further details on the target.Palestinian media claimed that a
“special Israeli unit” infiltrated the western part of Gaza City. In an
attempt to secure the unit after it was discovered by Hamas operatives,
the IDF carried out shelling and airstrikes in the area, the reports
claimed, killing at least three and wounding eight.At times, Palestinian
media has referred to Israeli-backed anti-Hamas militias operating in
the Strip as “Israeli forces.” In the past, Israel has provided
anti-Hamas militias with air support.Saudi outlet Al-Hadath reported
that Israeli-backed Palestinian militias attempted to abduct an
unidentified individual in Gaza City, and Qatar’s Al-Araby TV reported
that an armed militia tried to target a senior official in Hamas’s
internal security apparatus.Hamas, in a statement, condemned the
“criminal operation” carried out by “special forces of the occupation
army” in Gaza City.“This represents a serious crime and a deliberate
disregard for the lives of civilians, and is a continuation of the
brutal genocide war against our people in the Gaza Strip,” Hamas said,
without commenting on the arrest of a senior member of the terror
group.In a separate incident later Tuesday, the IDF said it struck a
Hamas commander in northern Gaza’s Jabalia.Palestinian media reported
several injuries in a strike in the Strip’s north.The military justified
the strike amid the ceasefire by saying that the unnamed commander had
been advancing attacks on troops and civilians, as well as trying to
restore Hamas capabilities, “in systematic violation of the
ceasefire.”The strike was carried out to “remove the threat,” the
military added.An October 2025 US-backed ceasefire halted major fighting
in the shattered territory, but it failed to end strikes by the Israeli
military, which it says aims to thwart attacks by Hamas and other Gaza
terrorists. Gaza remains bisected into Israeli- and Hamas-controlled
areas.Hamas accuses Israel of violating the ceasefire and undermining
efforts to implement a broader plan by US President Donald Trump to end
the Gaza conflict, which also includes Israeli withdrawals and Hamas
disarmament. However, the terror group has refused to completely give up
its weapons or disarm at all until Israel withdraws.More than 1,300
Palestinians have been killed in Gaza since the ceasefire took effect
last October, according to Gazan health officials, while four Israeli
soldiers have been killed.Nurit Yohanan contributed to this report.
hree
killed in two separate Nazareth shootings, as crime wave rocks Arab
community-Two men in their 30s killed after shots fired at car, three
hours before a 27-year-old is also shot dead; police searching for
suspects By Noam Lehmann Today, 3:37 am-SEP 3,26
Three people
were shot dead in the northern Arab city of Nazareth in two separate
incidents less than three hours apart on Wednesday night, amid an
upsurge in criminal violence rocking Israel’s Arab communities.A
27-year-old Nazareth resident was shot dead in the northern Arab city,
with officers rushing to the scene and searching for suspects, police
said.Earlier, two men in their 30s were killed in Nazareth, when shots
were fired toward a car, according to police and the Magen David Adom
ambulance service.Officers were also searching for suspects in that
shooting, police said.Medics who were alerted to the shooting found the
two men with serious penetrating wounds, with no pulse and not
breathing, and declared them dead on the spot, the ambulance service
said.Both shootings were of a “criminal” rather than nationalist nature,
and “the circumstances are under investigation,” police said.The
victims of the shootings were not immediately named.The incidents took
place amid a prolonged violent crime epidemic in Israel’s Arab community
that authorities have for years failed to quell.According to the
Abraham Initiatives coexistence watchdog’s latest figures updated on
Sunday, 168 members of Israel’s Arab community have been killed this
year, as 2026 continues to outpace last year as the bloodiest year on
record in Israel.
Homicides in Arab society soared to 244 in 2023 —
more than double the previous year — and have stayed high each year
since, with many blaming far-right National Security Minister Itamar Ben
Gvir for inaction since he took office.
Army razes entire
Palestinian village within IDF firing zone-US issues harsher censure of
‘West Bank violence,’ without explicitly blaming Israel
Washington
urges legal action against perpetrators, but doesn’t use the word
‘settler’; 2 Palestinians reportedly shot dead after security forces
enter village to find missing pets By Jacob Magid,Nurit Yohanan-and Noam
Lehmann Today, 2:24 am-SEP 3,26
The United States went slightly
further in condemning surging West Bank settler violence than it has in
the past on Wednesday, urging legal action, though it did not use the
word “settler” and avoided criticizing Israel for not cracking down on
the phenomenon.“We condemn criminal violence by any party in the West
Bank and call for investigations, arrests and convictions of those
responsible,” a US State Department spokesperson said in response to a
query from The Times of Israel on the matter.Previous statements from
the State Department on the subject were slightly more vague and largely
stressed the importance of maintaining stability in the West Bank,
though this one does not mention either Israel or the Palestinians by
name.“We are in regular dialogue with partners about improving stability
and security in the West Bank,” the State Department spokesperson said,
indicating that the US is raising the matter with Israel behind closed
doors.Surging violence by Israeli settlers across the West Bank —
largely unchecked by Israeli authorities — has been met with severe
condemnation from Western allies in recent weeks.US Ambassador to Israel
Mike Huckabee has been just about the only member of US President
Donald Trump’s administration to criticize settler violence, calling
perpetrators “terrorists,” while insisting that they’re not
representative of the half-million Israelis living beyond the Green
Line.But he too has refrained from explicitly criticizing Israel’s
handling of settler violence, which goes largely unchecked, though
President Isaac Herzog insisted to CNN during an interview aired
Wednesday that Israeli authorities were taking the issue
seriously.Herzog called the perpetrators “juvenile delinquents” and
claimed “there is a major effort by our authorities to undermine these
activities and bring people to justice.” He noted that a series of rare
arrests were carried out earlier this week, though most of the
near-daily settler attacks do not lead to arrests or prosecutions.Herzog
also likened the phenomenon to “inner-city violence,” though they are
different, as the perpetrators in the West Bank often profess that they
are acting out of ideological nationalist motives, and seek to expel
Palestinians from the West Bank.Still, Herzog called the Jewish
extremists behind the daily attacks on Palestinians, a “shame on the
face of Israel,” repeating a sentiment he has expressed
previously.Meanwhile, no arrests have been made in a well-documented
settler rampage that took place on Saturday in the northern West Bank
Palestinian village of Qusra, which was also subject to a siege by
settlers.On Wednesday evening, Palestinian media reported that two of
three Palestinians who were shot in the village of al-Mughayyir, in the
Ramallah area, died of their wounds after settlers and IDF troops
entered the village. The Palestinian Authority’s WAFA news agency
identified the two as 19-year-olds.Settlers were filmed close to homes
in the village alongside the soldiers. Additional footage showed the
troops detained one of the Palestinians. It was also reported that IDF
troops fired tear gas.According to the IDF, troops were providing police
and an Israeli civilian who entered al-Mughayyir to find missing pets,
which it said were identified as belonging to Israelis, when the
soldiers were attacked with bricks and stones.The IDF said the troops
responded with live fire “toward the primary inciters to remove the
threat. Hits were identified.”The army added that it was investigating
“the events that preceded the incident and the management of
it.”Arrests, car seizures and home demolitions-Separately, officers on
Wednesday seized a white pickup truck allegedly used on Saturday in a
settler attack on Qusra, and were stoned by settlers while taking the
vehicle, police said.Operating in the illegal outpost of Mevasser
Hashalom, near Nablus in the northern West Bank, the officers arrested
two people from a crowd that had gathered to throw stones and block
their path, according to police.The detainees were taken for questioning
and “order has been restored,” police said.Police added they already
seized several vehicles used in the Saturday attack, when settlers took
over a Palestinian home in Qusra with a family inside and reportedly
injured a woman, weeks after the start of a siege on a number of homes
in the town.While no suspects in the Saturday attack were arrested,
police said a “special joint investigative team of the Shin Bet and
police” is working to locate the “extremist rioters” and has issued a
warrant for their arrest.“The investigation is ongoing,” police
said.Police also announced the arrest overnight of three suspects as
part of an investigation into arson attacks and assaults against
Palestinians south of Hebron.The suspects were residents of the West
Bank and of central Israel, aged between 15 and 22, police said, adding
that the investigation is ongoing.Following an interrogation, police
will bring the suspects before a court to request that their detention
be extended, police added.On Tuesday, police announced the arrest of
eight other suspects in acts of arson and assault against Palestinians
south of Hebron, and brought them before a court to have their detention
extended.The court agreed to extend the detention of seven suspects and
released the eighth under restrictions, police said.Police told The
Times of Israel on Tuesday that some of the detainees were suspected of
setting fire to a mosque and several homes in Khirbet a-Tuba in the
South Hebron Hills on August 5, in an incident in which six Palestinians
reportedly required medical attention after attackers beat them.Other
detainees were suspected of setting fire to a mosque in al-Tuwani, also
in the South Hebron Hills, on July 19.Additionally, on Wednesday, Israel
demolished all the homes in a small Palestinian village in the South
Hebron Hills that has a population of 12 families, comprising around 70
people. The village, Khirbet al-Tabban, is located within IDF Firing
Zone 918.????NOW: Israel is wiping out an entire Palestinian village of
Khirbet a-Taban, in Masafer Yatta, the West Bank. The IDF has left more
than twenty children and their parents homeless. The destruction of the
village is part of a decades-long strategy to displace Palestinian…

2, 2026-In 2022, the High Court of Justice ruled on a petition that had
been pending for some 20 years, determining that Palestinians living in
the firing zone had not permanently resided there before the area was
declared a firing zone, and therefore had no right to live there. Around
three years later, the IDF began demolishing some of the Palestinians’
homes in the area.According to a recent UN report in June, more than
2,200 Palestinians have been displaced this year due to settler violence
or restrictions on access, and hundreds more have been displaced due to
home demolitions by Israeli authorities.The report came just days after
Amnesty International accused Israel of conducting a “state-sponsored”
campaign of ethnic cleansing against Bedouin and Palestinian herding
communities in the West Bank over the last three and a half years,
designed to accelerate the annexation of the territory. The IDF rejected
the charge.
New Gaza flotilla due to set sail in October in bid
to break Israeli blockade-Ships will stop in Spain, Portugal and Italy
to gather support and raise funds for their cause before departing for
the Palestinian enclave By ToI Staff 2 September 2026, 8:48 pm
A
new flotilla is expected to depart Europe next month and set sail on the
Mediterranean in the latest bid by anti-Israel activists to break the
Israeli naval blockade of the Gaza Strip, according to reports
Wednesday.Citing the Freedom Flotilla Coalition (FFC), news outlets
including Israel’s Kan public broadcaster reported that the new flotilla
departing in October will make calls at ports in Spain, Portugal and
Italy before heading toward Gaza.It will be the first attempt that the
pro-Palestinian and anti-Israel organization has made to reach Gaza
since Israel arrested 430 of its activists across 50 ships in
international waters in May.The arrests sparked international backlash
at the time, after several activists alleged experiencing abuse and
sexual assault, including rape, while being held in Israeli
detention.Israel denied these accounts, but National Security Minister
Itamar Ben Gvir prompted further scrutiny and outrage by posting a video
of him mocking bound, kneeling activists in a detention center.Since
then, FFC activists have been sailing around Europe to gather support
and raise funds for their cause ahead of October’s sailing.One ship, the
Handala II, called at ports in Norway, Sweden and Denmark last month,
while another, The Kate, sailed from Bristol, England, to Kinsale, in
the Republic of Ireland, on Saturday.The Kate will stop at additional
ports in Ireland, Germany and France over the next few weeks before
joining up with the rest of the ships in the flotilla.One of the
activists aboard The Kate is Fiacc Ó Brolcháin, a 74-year-old sailor who
was arrested and deported by Israel in May, according to local Irish
outlet The Southern Star.The FFC did not give an exact departure date
for the flotilla, and didn’t provide details on how many ships and
activists were expected to take part, or how much aid it would be
attempting to bring into Gaza.There have been several attempts to reach
Gaza by sea over the past three years, after Israel’s war with Hamas
sparked a deep humanitarian crisis in the Palestinian enclave.Israel
says the attempts are largely performative, noting that the ships carry
only symbolic aid and have refused Israel’s offer to transfer the goods
to Gaza over land.None of the attempts have been successful, and each
has ended with Israeli forces boarding the vessels and arresting the
activists before bringing them to land and deporting them to their home
countries.More than 73,400 people have been killed in Gaza since the
October 7, 2023 Hamas attack sparked the war there, including more than
1,330 since the October 2025 ceasefire, according to the Hamas-run
health ministry in the enclave, which does not differentiate between
combatants and civilians.The Israeli military believes that Hamas’s
overall toll is largely accurate, with IDF officials estimating that two
to three civilians were killed for every dead terror operative.
IDF
says it hit Hezbollah after group launched 2 drones at troops in
Lebanon-Military says explosive-laden drones aimed at forces in Ali
Taher Ridge area, no soldiers injured; retaliatory attacks hit Nabatieh,
1 reportedly killed; EU countries to help train Lebanese Army By
Emanuel Fabian-and Reuters 2 September 2026, 3:23 pm
Hezbollah
launched two explosive-laden drones at Israeli troops operating in the
Ali Taher Ridge in southern Lebanon overnight, prompting strikes on the
terror group’s infrastructure in the area, the military said
Wednesday.According to the IDF, one of the drones was shot down by the
troops, and no soldiers were injured in the attack.Hezbollah has a major
underground facility beneath the ridge in the Nabatieh area, and
several operatives are believed by the IDF to still be holed up there.In
response to the attack, the military said it struck Hezbollah
infrastructure in the Nabatieh area. The sites had been used by the
terror group to advance attacks on Israeli forces operating in southern
Lebanon and against Israeli civilians, the IDF said, adding that the
strikes were intended to “remove an immediate threat.”Lebanese official
media said the Israeli strikes on south Lebanon killed one person.“One
person was killed and another wounded in a strike launched by an enemy
drone” in the city of Nabatieh, Lebanon’s state-run National News Agency
(NNA) said.The IDF said it is continuing to operate at the Ali Taher
Ridge and “will not allow terrorists in the area to advance and carry
out” attacks.“The IDF is operating and will continue to act with
determination against Hezbollah’s repeated attempts to harm IDF
soldiers,” the military added.European Union foreign policy chief Kaja
Kallas said on Tuesday that more than 10 EU member states are willing to
contribute resources and people to a planned mission to advise and
train Lebanon’s armed forces.The proposed mission stems from the EU
studying ways to strengthen Lebanese forces to help free up the Lebanese
army to focus on disarming Hezbollah.Western countries have long
called for Lebanon to disarm the Iran-backed terror group, and doing so
is a central component of a ceasefire between Lebanon and Israel aimed
at ending the fighting that has run in parallel with the US-Israeli war
against Iran.The mandate of a UN force in Lebanon, UNIFIL, is set to
expire at the end of 2026, and the force is expected to begin a
yearlong drawdown and withdrawal.“The EU is not seeking to replace
UNIFIL,” Kallas told reporters in Ireland following a gathering of
European defense ministers.“Our objective is to strengthen the Lebanese
armed forces and the ability of the Lebanese state to provide security
across its territory,” she said, adding that planning was progressing
well.An EU official told Reuters that the bloc’s aim is to establish the
mission in mid-October and then deploy personnel in late 2026 or early
2027.Kallas did not provide details on which EU countries would be
involved.France has been trying for several months to organize an
international conference that would aim to strengthen the Lebanese armed
forces, and also proposed creating an international force as part of
efforts to replace UNIFIL.A senior Western diplomat told Reuters on
Tuesday there was limited prospect for major decisions on Lebanon’s
future before Israel’s election in late October. The diplomat also said
there was little chance of progress without any clear strengthening of
the Lebanese armed forces that would enable them to move into areas
previously controlled by Hezbollah.On Saturday, the Nidaa Al-Watan
outlet reported that Hezbollah has so far rejected overtures by the
Lebanese government to pull its forces out of the contested Ali Taher
Ridge.Unnamed sources warned this intransigence could lead the Israeli
military to escalate and widen its campaign against Hezbollah, adding
that Israel appeared unwilling to make further concessions until Lebanon
takes more concrete steps to disarm the terrorist organization.The
sources also said the confrontation has stalled efforts to schedule a
new round of US-backed negotiations between Jerusalem and Beirut in
Rome, which has hosted multiple rounds of talks in recent months, with
the report suggesting that international support for Lebanon’s army
could be undermined if Hezbollah still holds the Ali Taher Ridge the
next time negotiators convene.Hezbollah’s refusal to hand over control
of the Ali Taher Ridge to the Lebanese army has reportedly become an
obstacle to efforts to advance towards a permanent ceasefire agreement
to end an ongoing war.Hezbollah drew Lebanon into the broader Middle
East conflict in March by launching rockets at Israel in support of its
sponsor Iran, which had come under attack by a US-Israeli air campaign.
Israel responded to the Hezbollah attacks with a heavy air campaign and
ground invasion.Despite the ceasefire declared in Lebanon in April,
fighting has persisted to a lesser extent. Israeli forces continue to
operate inside a self-declared “security zone,” which runs around 10
kilometers (six miles) deep inside Lebanese territory along the
border.Israel has increased its attacks on Hezbollah in southern Lebanon
in recent days — particularly in the Nabatieh area where the Ali Taher
Ridge is located — while the terror group has targeted troops operating
in the area.In June, Israel and Lebanon signed a framework agreement
committing Lebanon to restoring sovereignty over its territory through
the “verified disarmament of non-state armed groups,” which would in
turn enable a progressive Israeli withdrawal. The State of Lebanon,
along with Israel and the US, signed the agreement, but Hezbollah and
its allies are opposed to it.Israel has so far pulled forces out of
three pilot zones into which the Lebanese army entered, but has said it
will not carry out any further withdrawals before Hezbollah is disarmed.
German
Navy tests Israeli ballistic missile, will move forward with
procurement-LORA missile launched from German frigate in trial in North
Atlantic; Israeli Navy’s sixth purchased Dolphin 2-class submarine,
Drakon, departs Germany for Haifa By Emanuel Fabian-2 September 2026,
1:16 pm
The German Navy said on Wednesday that it had
successfully tested an Israeli ballistic missile system the previous
night and would now begin to advance plans to procure the
projectiles.The Long-Range Artillery Weapon System, known by the acronym
LORA, has a range of 400 kilometers and is accurate to within 10
meters, according to its manufacturer, Israel Aerospace Industries. It
is classified as a short-range ballistic missile.Citing a German Navy
spokesman, news agency DPA reported that two German frigates were
deployed to waters between Ireland and Iceland for the “secret” test of
the Israeli-made LORA on Tuesday night.“With the successful launch of a
ballistic missile last night in the North Atlantic, we made naval
history. I am extremely satisfied with this achievement,” said Vice Adm.
Jan Christian Kaack, chief of the German Navy, in a post on
Instagram.Kaack said the LORA “can be successfully deployed from our
units, and the potential range exceeds anything we have known
before.”“For the protection of Germany and our allies, this test marks a
new chapter in deterrence and defense readiness at sea,” he
added.German Navy test-fires an Israeli-made LORA ballistic missile from

Hinz (@fab_hinz) September 2, 2026-Alongside the remarks from Kaack, the
German Navy published footage showing the test of the LORA.DPA reported
that Germany now plans to advance the procurement of the LORA, which
would be part of efforts to deter Russia following its invasion of
Ukraine.IAI, in a press release, said during Germany’s test, “the
missile was launched to its trajectory, navigated its course to the
target, and hit it with utmost precision.”“Both the weapon system and
the missile successfully met all the trial’s objectives,” the Israeli
defense firm said.Israeli Navy’s sixth Dolphin 2-class submarine,
Drakon, on its way to Israel from Germany-Meanwhile on Tuesday, the
Israeli military and Defense Ministry announced that the Israeli Navy’s
sixth submarine, INS “Drakon” — or Dragon — is now en route to Israel
from Germany.A ceremony was held earlier this week at Thyssenkrupp
Marine Systems’ shipyard in Kiel, Germany, to mark the Dolphin 2-class
submarine’s departure for Israel.“An Israeli flag was raised aboard the
submarine, officially marking the beginning of its voyage to Israel,”
the statement said. Another ceremony will be held at the Haifa Naval
Base upon its arrival.The INS Drakon was to be equipped with “innovative
and advanced technologies that place Israel at the forefront of global
military technology and will enhance the Israeli Navy’s operational
flexibility for years to come,” the military said.The submarine’s
originally proposed name was Dakar, after an Israeli submarine that sank
in 1968. Dragon is meant to be a compromise after some of the families
of the fallen sailors from the original Dakar protested the proposal to
recycle the name.“Dakar” will instead be reserved for the overall name
of a new advanced class of future Navy submarines, which are scheduled
for delivery in the early 2030s.The Dakar-class submarines will replace
the three aging first-generation Dolphin-class vessels, which have been
in service since around 2000.

his answer was delayed for three full weeks.

Some 30 Jews are among the missing, Chabad
says-Nepal turns to rehabilitation as hope fades for nearly 4,000
missing after glacier disaster
Rescuers make last search of
hydropower tunnels a week after devastating flash floods left more than
1,100 dead; authorities fear many are buried under debrisBy Gopal Sharma

KATHMANDU, Nepal
(Reuters) — Hopes of finding more survivors among the thousands still
missing in Nepal were fading, authorities said on Wednesday, a week
after a glacier collapse in the Himalayas unleashed flash floods that
devastated the mountainous nation.At least 1,114 people have been
killed, and nearly 4,000 remain unaccounted for, with officials fearing
many are buried under debris left by the floods that tore through towns
and valleys near the Chinese border.Two Israeli citizens are among the
missing, and about 30 Jews are among the missing.Across the border in
Tibet, China’s official toll has held steady since Sunday at 16 dead and
546 missing.“The hope of finding survivors is decreasing,” said
Phanindra Paudel, a senior official at the government’s National
Emergency Operation Center (NEOC). “We pray and are hopeful. Hope is
hope!”Rescuers are trying to find survivors believed to be trapped
inside the tunnels of several hydroelectric plants, whose powerhouses
have spaces and rooms for people to stay, army spokesperson Raja Ram
Basnet said.Authorities said 279 people had been rescued from the ruins
of hydropower projects but at least 639 more were still missing, some of
whom are believed to be trapped in tunnels.Specialized rescue teams
from India, China and the United States were involved in the tunnel
rescue attempts, authorities said.“The plan today is to get on a
helicopter and go to the hydro tunnels where they believe there’s still
life,” Ferrin Cole, a member of the US crisis response team that is
currently in Nepal, told ANI news agency.“We have high-technology
listening equipment to listen for sounds of life. And then the safety
teams to go in and check.”Some 30 Jews are among the missing-On Tuesday,
the head of Chabad of Nepal in Kathmandu, Rabbi Chezky Lifshitz, said
that around 30 Jews, including the two Israelis confirmed missing, are
among the missing.He told Chabad.org that the center he runs is working
intensely with authorities to help coordinate searches for people
missing in the floods.The Chabad center has also sent aid and assistance
to flood victims, Lifshitz said.He did not explain how he had reached
the estimated number of Jews missing, but his wife, Chani Lifshitz, said
they were “in contact with the families, local communities and
officials on the ground, trying to piece together every detail.”“We are
checking every report, every name, every location and every possible
lead,” she added.“For several nights this week, my husband and I barely
slept,” she said, adding that preparations for Rosh Hashanah, the Jewish
New Year, next week have come to a standstill.“More and more missing
Jewish families are turning to us, and we know that some of them [may
have been swept away],” Lifshitz wrote on Chabad of Nepal’s Facebook
page. “The thought that we will not be able to give them a Jewish burial
gives us no rest.”Focus shifting to rehabilitation-“Looking at the
nature of the disaster and the area which has been hit by the flood, as
days go by there are less chances of human survivors,” said Binoj
Basnet, a retired senior army general who oversaw the search and rescue
operation during the 2015 earthquake in which about 9,000 people were
killed.Prime Minister Balendra Shah said the focus would shift from
search, rescue and relief operations towards rehabilitation and
reconstruction.“The government is now focusing on rehabilitation while
working to protect the lives of people in the affected areas and
providing necessary medical treatment and psychological counseling,”
Shah said in a late-night post on social media on Tuesday.The disaster
left at least 2.2 million tons of debris, according to a preliminary
estimate by the United Nations Development Programme (UNDP), including
parts of buildings, rocks, and sediment, the equivalent of six Empire
State buildings.“The amount of debris shows the scale of the destruction
and the challenge communities face as they clear homes, roads and
public spaces and begin to rebuild,” it said.Residents in affected areas
walked around the remains of what were once bustling villages and
towns, trying to salvage whatever they could of their belongings.“My
husband and I were able to escape safely. But we could not pick up
anything,” Shanta Sunar, 45, a small shopkeeper and survivor from
Nuwakot, said.“We have lost whatever we had. But we are lucky nothing
happened to us.”Public health risk-UN spokesperson Stephane Dujarric
said aid agencies were “very concerned” about the growing public health
risk from overcrowded shelters, contaminated water and damaged health
facilities, particularly for women and children during the monsoon
season.About 3,900 people remain unaccounted for, and nearly 3,500
people are living in 27 displacement sites across the hardest-hit
districts of Nuwakot and Rasuwa, Dujarric told a regular UN press
briefing on Tuesday.Shah said his government had stepped up surveillance
and response measures to prevent possible outbreaks of disease in
flood-affected areas.Climate change catalyst-The Himalayan region faces
severe risks from future glacial floods, a senior UN official said on
Tuesday, a sentiment that Shah echoed in his post.“Questions about why
the ice and rock collapsed and how such a large volume of water was
generated must be answered by the global community,” Shah said.China has
also linked the flood to climate change.Zev Stub and Times of Israel

Bank
of Israel slashes rates to four-year low to bolster postwar economic
rebound-Central bank cuts borrowing costs to 3.25%, warning of partial
recovery; manufacturers accuse Governor Yaron of doing too little too
late, as strong shekel hurts exporters’ profits-By Sharon Wrobel-Today,
8:54 pm-SEP 1,26
The Bank of Israel on Tuesday cut interest rates
to the lowest level in almost four years to help stimulate postwar
economic recovery and provide some relief for struggling households and
businesses.The central bank, led by Governor Amir Yaron, decided to
lower borrowing costs by 25 basis points to 3.25 percent after trimming
interest rates in July, May, and January.High credit costs for borrowers
have been reduced by a cumulative 1% so far this year as households and
businesses struggle to make mortgage and loan repayments after more
than two and a half years of hostilities on multiple fronts.The central
bank’s move comes as the annual inflation rate in July fell to a
five-year low of 1.5%, well within the Bank of Israel’s 1% to 3% target
range, allowing policymakers to shift focus to supporting growth in the
economy.In its announcement, the Bank of Israel raised concerns that
recent growth figures for the first half of the year only “partly
reflect recovery of the economy from the impact of the military
operation against Iran” in late February, as “excluding production of
Israeli companies abroad, activity was more moderate.”“Current
indicators of economic activity show that credit card expenditures in
current prices are volatile and slightly below the long-term trend
line,” the central bank said. “Foreign trade data for July indicate a
moderation of goods imports following a sharp increase in May and
June.”Ahead of Tuesday’s decision, forecasters were split over whether
the Bank of Israel would lower borrowing costs or take a more cautious
stance and take a breather, as major central banks of advanced economies
left interest rates unchanged and pressure has been mounting for rate
hikes.“The Bank of Israel has opted for a more dovish stance, providing a
lifeline to the local economy,” said Gali Ingber, head of finance
studies at the College of Management Academic Studies. “It highlights
the unique challenges facing the Israeli economy: the need to curb
prices on the one hand, and the urgent need to support real economic
activity by providing relief to households and businesses amidst
prolonged uncertainty on the other.”“The economy has been swept up in
geopolitical turmoil, creating a critical need to support the business
sector, investment, and growth, and with this move, the Bank of Israel
is essentially signaling its willingness to take a calculated risk to
avoid stifling local economic activity,” Ingber added.The overly strong
shekel has also helped drive deflationary forces, as it makes imports
cheaper, restrains price increases, and enables the Bank of Israel,
which is concerned about price stability, to lower interest
rates.However, the shekel’s 10% appreciation against the dollar over the
past year has also been hurting exporters’ competitiveness and
profitability as they earn in dollars but pay expenses in shekels.
Exports make up as much as 40% of Israeli economic activity.In recent
months, local manufacturers and exporters have accused Yaron of doing
too little too late to help moderate sharp gains in the shekel, which
has been trading around a 33-year high against the US dollar.Exporters
have been warning that the local currency’s strength poses a risk to
growth prospects in the economy, and have been calling for larger and
faster interest rate cuts.The Israel Manufacturers’ Association welcomed
the central bank’s action as a “correct and necessary step.”“The Bank
of Israel’s interest rate cut is a step in the right direction, in light
of the moderation in inflation over the past year,” said Israel
Manufacturers’ Association President Avraham (Novo) Novogrotzky. “But
industry and the export sector need to be able to rely on monetary
policy action aligned with current economic realities, rather than a
lagging response as the local currency’s appreciation continues to erode
profits and competitiveness, hampering investment, expansion, and the
maintenance of operations in Israel.”“The Bank of Israel should
capitalize on the window of opportunity that has opened and pursue a
continuous, more rapid path of rate cuts, as long as inflation remains
near the target range,” he demanded.The next Bank of Israel interest
rate decision is on October 21, just days before Israel’s national
elections.“The Bank of Israel is unlikely to lower borrowing costs close
to the elections; therefore, any further rate cut will only take place
after,” said Israel Discount Bank chief economist Einat Meir.
