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.

Rubio says 23,000 people aboard ships trapped in the
Gulf-Iran threatens Hormuz shipping, as Trump said to shelve strikes
amid diplomacy-Trump: ‘I’ll let you know’ when Iran breaks truce; UAE
reports Iranian attacks for second day in a row; Israel ‘closely
monitoring’ and prepared to ‘respond with force,’ says IDF chief By
Jacob Magid,Stav Levaton,Emanuel Fabian,Lazar Berman,Agencies and ToI
Staff Today, 1:45 am-MAY 6,26
The Islamic Revolutionary Guard
Corps warned on Tuesday it would respond firmly to any ships that
diverge from Iran’s approved route through the Strait of Hormuz, as
Israeli television reported US President Donald Trump came close to
ordering renewed strikes over the weekend before calling them off.The
warning came on the second day of a US effort to facilitate the transit
of commercial ships through the blockaded waterway.“We warn all vessels
planning to transit the Strait of Hormuz that the only safe passage is
the corridor previously announced by Iran. Any diversion of ships to
other routes is dangerous and will result in a firm response from the
Iranian Revolutionary Guards navy,” the IRGC said in a statement carried
by state television.Mohammad Bagher Ghalibaf, Iran’s chief negotiator
in Pakistani-mediated peace talks, said Tehran has “not even started”
its standoff over the Strait of Hormuz.“We know full well that the
continuation of the status quo is intolerable for America; whilst we
have not even started yet,” said Ghalibaf, who is also the speaker in
Iran’s parliament, in a post on X.He claimed the actions of the US and
its allies had put shipping security at risk, but their “malign presence
will diminish.”The strait normally carries about a fifth of the world’s
oil shipments but was blockaded by Iran in response to the bombing
campaign that the US and Israel launched on the Islamic Republic on
February 28.The US imposed its own blockade on Iran-linked shipping days
into a truce that began on April 8, and Trump has said Washington would
respond forcefully to foreign interference in the US effort to guide
trapped commercial vessels through the Strait of Hormuz.On Tuesday, US
Secretary of State Marco Rubio said some 23,000 civilians from 87
countries are currently on ships trapped in the Persian Gulf.The US
effort, dubbed Operation Project Freedom, has seen tensions spike amid
the Iran ceasefire, with American and Iranian forces exchanging fire.
The UAE has accused Iran of targeting it with missiles on Monday and
Tuesday, though Iran has denied firing at the Gulf state, claiming to
have taken “defensive actions” directed at the US.Earlier Tuesday, US
officials signaled that the truce was holding and that the clashes did
not mean a return to open conflict. But American and Israeli military
officials also said their militaries were ready to resume fighting.World
leaders are pushing for restraint. Speaking to a reporter in the Oval
Office on Tuesday, Trump declined to say what Iran would have to do for
him to decide it violated the ceasefire.“You’ll find out because I’ll
let you know when they do,” Trump said. “They know what not to do.”He
added, “They should do the smart thing because we don’t want to go in
and kill people.”External advisers reportedly pressing Trump to resume
war-On Tuesday evening, Channel 12 news reported that Trump has
repeatedly shifted his stance in recent days on whether to go back to
war against Iran, and came close to ordering renewed strikes, but is
currently holding off to let negotiations play out.According to the
report, which cited US officials, Trump came close on Friday to ordering
a renewed wave of strikes, but reversed course at the last moment after
Iran submitted an updated proposal for a deal to end the war — which he
later rejected. Instead, he opted to proceed with the operation to free
up the Strait of Hormuz.The report said Trump is facing pressure from
what it described as advisers outside the White House to resume
fighting, though the officials cited by the network stressed that as of
now, he still prefers to exhaust negotiations.However, US officials
warned that if talks remain deadlocked in the coming days, Trump is
prepared to order a short and powerful military campaign aimed at
breaking the impasse, the report said.Trump’s advisers, including his
son-in-law Jared Kushner, reportedly told him progress is being made in
narrowing gaps with Iran, but cautioned there is no guarantee any
agreement reached with Iranian Foreign Minister Abbas Araghchi would be
accepted by the Islamic Revolutionary Guard Corps.The top military
leadership of Pakistan, which hosted a previous round of US-Iran talks,
meanwhile called for restraint to help ease rising tensions between the
US and Iran.Army chief Field Marshal Asim Munir since last month has
been in contact between the US and Iranian officials as part of
Pakistan’s efforts to end the conflict.In a statement, the country’s
military said participants reviewed the evolving security environment
amid Pakistan’s outreach to Washington and Tehran, adding that lasting
peace depends on collective restraint, responsibility and respect for
sovereignty.Also Tuesady, French President Emmanuel Macron said Iranian
President Masoud Pezeshkian asked to hold a phone conversation amid the
ceasefire.“I will be speaking with the Iranian president shortly at his
request,” Macron said on Tuesday. ″France has maintained a consistent
position from the start. We call for the cessation of all hostilities,
the return to diplomatic negotiations, and respect for all countries in
the region,” Macron said.Pezeshkian said that Tehran remained ready for
dialogue, but added, “Our problem is that, on the one hand, the United
States is pursuing a policy of maximum pressure against our country and,
on the other hand, they expect Iran to come to the negotiating table
and ultimately capitulate to their unilateral demands.”“But such an
equation is impossible,” he said.Saudi Arabia also called Tuesday for
efforts “to reach a political solution.”Rubio: Ten sailors have already
died in Gulf, food running out-Speaking at a White House press breifing,
Rubio said Tuesday that Washington decided to launch the effort to free
up the strait in order to rescue the 23,000 civilians currently on
ships trapped in the Persian Gulf.“These innocent sailors and commercial
crew members have been stranded out at sea because” of Iran’s blockade,
said the top US diplomat, adding that those stranded for weeks are
running out of food and water and that at least 10 sailors have already
died.“The goal here is to establish a transit zone protected by a bubble
of US naval and air assets that allows ships to move through it and
reach the market to begin to increase confidence in the ability to do
so,” Rubio said.Iran on April 17 announced the reopening of the Strait
of Hormuz but proceeded to continue harassment of ships after the US
said it would maintain a blockade of Iranian ports. That move was meant
to hold Tehran’s feet to the fire in negotiations for a permanent end to
the war.Rubio said many nations reached out to the US for assistance in
restoring freedom of navigation in the Strait of Hormuz, leading Trump
to authorize Project Freedom over the weekend.Trump has “directed the
United States military to guide these stranded ships to safety, to
provide a protective bubble under which they can operate,” Rubio
continued.US officials have privately clarified that US vessels will not
be physically escorting individually stranded ships.“This is the first
step toward reopening the strait and bringing this regime’s last-ditch
act of economic arson to a close,” Rubio said.The US secretary of state
stressed that Project Freedom is a defensive operation, meaning American
forces will not open fire unless shot at first.He said two US-flag
merchant ships have already been successfully extracted from Hormuz as a
result of Project Freedom, though roughly 2,000 vessels are said to
remain.Rubio went on to insist offensive operations against Iran had
ended and that Washington is now focused on using non-kinetic means to
coax Tehran to give up its nuclear ambitions.“Operation Epic Fury has
concluded. We achieved the objectives of that operation,” Rubio said
during the press conference.Pressed on how the US could claim victory if
Iran has not given up its enrichment capabilities and stockpiles of
highly-enriched uranium, Rubio claimed the goal of the war was to remove
the “conventional shield” Iran was trying to create by using ballistic
missiles to block countries from acting against its nuclear
program.While Iran’s missile program was indeed significantly damaged
during the war, intelligence agencies reportedly assess that it remains
intact and can recuperate.Meanwhile, the US is still seeking a deal with
Iran that addresses Tehran’s nuclear ambitions, maintaining that
economic pressure can lead the Islamic Republic to capitulate after it
did not do so amid six weeks of war.“There has to be a pressure point on
them that causes them to realize they cannot continue to close the
straits or they’ll face crushing economic consequences and global
diplomatic isolation, which they have proven in the past to be
susceptible to,” Rubio asserted. “They have a high pain threshold, but
they don’t have an unlimited pain threshold. Nobody does.”UAE says Iran
attacked it for second straight dayThe UAE said on Tuesday that Iran
fired more drones and missiles at the country for the second consecutive
day.Iran fired 12 ballistic missiles, three cruise missiles, and four
drones at the UAE, according to the Emirati Defense Ministry.The UAE’s
Foreign Ministry said in a statement that the attacks were a serious
escalation and posed a direct threat to the state’s security, adding
that the UAE reserved its “full and legitimate right” to respond.Iran’s
Khatam al-Anbiya joint military command claimed it had not carried out
attacks against the UAE in recent days. But it warned of a “crushing
response” if any action is carried out by the Gulf country against
Iran.Zamir: IDF ‘closely monitoring,’ ready to ‘respond with force’Amid
the escalation in the Gulf, IDF Chief of Staff Lt. Gen. Eyal Zamir said
the military wass “prepared to respond with force” if Iran targets
Israel.“Our forces are deployed across all sectors, fighting and
prepared in immediate readiness for any scenario — from near and from
far,” Zamir said at a handover ceremony for the chief of the Israeli Air
Force.“The IDF, in all its systems, maintains high readiness,” he said.
He added that the military is “closely monitoring developments in the
Persian Gulf” and is “prepared to respond with force against any attempt
to harm Israel.”Incoming Israeli Air Force chief Maj. Gen. Omer
Tischler delivered a similar warning at the ceremony, saying, “We are
closely monitoring what is happening in Iran, and are prepared to take
the entire Air Force eastward, if we are required to do so.”
Draft
UN resolution threatens sanctions on Iran unless it opens Strait of
Hormuz-Security Council resolution co-sponsored by US, Gulf nations
comes amid American effort to escort ships through waterway blocked by
Iran; if passed, it could be enforced militarily By AP and ToI Staff 5
May 2026, 10:01 pm
UNITED NATIONS — A proposed UN Security
Council resolution threatens Iran with sanctions or other measures if it
doesn’t halt attacks on ships in the Strait of Hormuz, stop imposing
“illegal tolls,” and disclose the placement of all mines to allow
freedom of navigation.The draft resolution, co-sponsored by the United
States and Gulf nations and obtained Tuesday by The Associated Press,
also demands that Iran “immediately participate in and enable” United
Nations efforts to establish a humanitarian corridor in the strait to
enable the delivery of vital aid, fertilizer and other goods.Iran has
blocked the strait, which served as the pathway for 20 percent of the
global supply of oil and gas, since the beginning of the US-Israeli war
with Iran on February 28. Iran has not opened the waterway during the
ceasefire that began on April 8. The US is also blockading Iranian
ports.This week, the US began an operation to escort commercial ships
through the strait. That effort led to exchanges of fire between Iran
and the US, in which the US sank a number of small Iranian boats. Iran
also fired missiles and drones at Gulf states.The spiking tensions
raised the prospect of renewed fighting, though on Tuesday, US Defense
Secretary Pete Hegseth told reporters the truce is “not over.”The draft
resolution is the latest diplomatic effort by the US and its Gulf allies
after a watered-down resolution aimed at opening the strait was vetoed
by China and Russia hours before Washington and Tehran announced their
ceasefire almost a month ago.US Ambassador Mike Waltz told reporters he
believes the new, narrow proposal will gain the necessary support it
needs to pass the 15-member council, without triggering opposition or a
veto from Iran’s allies.The proposed resolution, which was drafted under
Chapter 7 of the UN Charter and thus could be enforced militarily,
threatens “effective measures that are commensurate with the gravity of
the situation, including sanctions” if Iran doesn’t comply.It reaffirms
the right of all countries to defend their vessels from attacks and
provocations, and orders all other countries not to assist Iran in
closing the strait or levying tolls.The draft also “welcomes ongoing
efforts to deconflict and coordinate safe and secure transit passage
through the Strait of Hormuz, expresses support for ongoing efforts to
seek a durable peace in the region, and encourages member states in the
region to strengthen dialogue and consultations in this regard.”
Iran
ceasefire ‘not over,’ US ‘not looking for a fight,’ Hegseth says after
Tehran fires on Gulf-US defense secretary’s remarks follow report that
Israel, US planning fresh round of strikes on Iran’s energy sites,
senior officials; Trump: Goals would be achieved in 2-3 weeks if war
resumes-By Lazar Berman,Agencies and Nava Freiberg-5 May 2026, 6:39 pm
The
ceasefire between Iran and the US “is not over,” Defense Secretary Pete
Hegseth said at a Pentagon press conference on Tuesday, a day after
Iran fired missiles and drones at the UAE and Oman.The attacks on the
Gulf states, a response to an American initiative to escort commercial
ships through the Strait of Hormuz, raised the prospect of renewed
conflict. Earlier, an Israeli source told CNN that Israel and the US are
coordinating preparations for a potential new round of strikes to
squeeze Iran into easing its negotiating position.“The intention would
be to carry out a short campaign aimed at pressuring Iran into further
concessions in negotiations,” the source said, adding that the strikes
would target energy infrastructure and senior Iranian officials, and
were mostly prepared ahead of the ceasefire last month. Iran has
previously said it would respond to attacks on its energy sites by
targeting similar facilities of US allies in the region.Meanwhile, US
President Donald Trump said that if he were to order a return to war
against Iran, it would probably take 2-3 weeks to achieve his aims. But
Hegseth and Dan Caine, the chairman of the US Joint Chiefs of Staff,
signaled that the US wasn’t looking to restart the fighting.Speaking
about the US initiative to help commercial ships through the Strait of
Hormuz, which is being blocked by Iran, Hegseth said that “American
forces won’t need to enter Iranian waters or airspace.”“We’re not
looking for a fight,” he stressed, adding that “we’d prefer this to be a
peaceful operation, but we are locked and loaded to defend our people,
our ships, our aircraft, and this mission without hesitation.”Hegseth
also said that Washington plans to “hand over” the effort to secure the
Strait of Hormuz “to the world.”“Hundreds of ships from nations around
the world are lining up to go through the strait,” claimed Hegseth,
while emphasizing that America’s “iron-clad blockade [of Iranian ports]
remains in full effect.”Caine likewise said at the Tuesday press
briefing that Iran’s attacks on US forces have fallen “below the
threshold of restarting major combat operations at this point.” He added
that US forces are ready to resume major combat operations against Iran
if they are ordered to do so.US Central Command “and the rest of the
joint force remain ready to resume major combat operations against Iran
if ordered to do so. No adversary should mistake our current restraint
with a lack of resolve,” Caine said.Hegseth: Trump isn’t being ‘pulled
in’ by Netanyahu-Hegseth also pushed back on the “false premise that
somehow President Trump is being pulled in by Prime Minister
Netanyahu.”He said the US is “grateful for [Israel’s] input, their
insights, the existential nature of the threat they face from an Iranian
bomb.”The defense secretary acknowledged that Israel “may have some
objectives at times that are slightly different than ours, but there’s
only one hand on the wheel ultimately.”Earlier, speaking to conservative
radio host Hugh Hewitt, Trump said: “We’ve taken out much of what we’d
have to do, probably another two weeks, maybe three weeks. We either
make the right deal, or we win very easily from the military
standpoint.”Trump stressed that “these lunatics will not have a nuclear
weapon,” referring to Iran’s regime, and reiterated that any deal must
include seizing the country’s stockpile of highly-enriched
uranium.However, Trump downplayed the importance of ending Iran’s
ballistic missile program and its funding of terror proxies throughout
the region, which are key declared goals of Israel’s war effort. The US
and Israel launched the war together on February 28.He refused to say
that Iran would be stopped from funding proxies, only saying that it
wouldn’t be in a position economically to do so, as a result of strikes
on energy infrastructure.“Look, missiles are bad, but yeah, and they do
have to cap it, but this is about, they cannot have a nuclear weapon,”
Trump said.The president added that the US is keeping Iran’s
conventional army — as opposed to the regime’s Islamic Revolutionary
Guard Corps — intact.“We’re not looking to decimate the army,” he said.
“We purposefully have not gone after them too much, because we think
that they’re much more moderate, actually.” The conventional army,
unlike the IRGC, is made up mostly of conscripts.Iran: US ‘adventurism’
provoked our strikes on UAEThe UAE called Iranian missile and drone
attacks on Monday, including one on an energy facility in Fujairah, “a
dangerous escalation and an unacceptable transgression.”Tehran said it
had “no pre-planned program” to target oil facilities in the UAE, but it
blamed Washington’s attempt to break Tehran’s blockade of the Hormuz
Strait for its attacks.“What happened was the product of the US
military’s adventurism to create a passage for ships to illegally pass
through the forbidden passages of the Strait of Hormuz, and the US
military must be held accountable for it,” an Iranian military official
told state TV.Iran’s attacks against the UAE drew condemnations on
Tuesday, as nations lined up to demand a restoration of calm in the
region.“These attacks are unacceptable,” EU chief Ursula von der Leyen
said on X, adding that “security in the [Gulf] region has direct
consequences for Europe.”German Chancellor Friedrich Merz also implored
Tehran to “return to the negotiating table and stop holding the region
and the world hostage,” echoing calls from French President Emmanuel
Macron and British Prime Minister Keir Starmer.Indian Prime Minister
Narendra Modi said the targeting of civilians and infrastructure was
“unacceptable.”Pakistan, which has been mediating between the US and
Iran, and Saudi Arabia also condemned the strikes against the UAE. Saudi
Arabia’s condemnation, in a statement from its foreign ministry, came
despite increasingly strained relations between Riyadh and the UAE.Iran
parliament speaker warns: ‘We have not even started yet’Iran’s chief
negotiator warned the US on Tuesday against any further escalation in
the Strait of Hormuz, after a spate of Iranian attacks against UAE –
launched after Trump’s announcement of a program to escort commercial
ships through the waterway – drew global condemnation.“We know full well
that the continuation of the status quo is intolerable for America;
whilst we have not even started yet,” Mohammad Bagher Ghalibaf, also the
speaker in Iran’s parliament, wrote in a post on X.Ghalibaf said the
actions of the US and its allies had put shipping security at risk, but
said their “malign presence will diminish,” with Tehran vowing not to
surrender control of the Hormuz Strait.Denmark’s freight giant Maersk
said on Tuesday that one of its ships had successfully sailed through
the Hormuz under US escort, after the US military said that two
American-flagged ships had done so on Monday, without providing further
information about the vessels’ identities.The US also said it fired on
Iranian forces, sinking six small boats that were targeting vessels.
Iran, which had threatened to attack any US forces that approached or
entered the trade route, denied that any of its boats were sunk.It
remained to be seen if any more ships would cross the strait on
Tuesday.Ship tracking data showed a Panamanian-flagged crude oil tanker
heading toward the center of the strait Tuesday morning after leaving an
anchorage in the Persian Gulf, though it was unclear if it would try to
pass through. The tanker had a stated destination of Singapore,
according to the MarineTraffic ship tracking site.Iran’s effective
closure of the strait, through which about a fifth of the world’s trade
in oil and natural gas typically passes, along with fertilizer and other
petroleum-derived products, has sent fuel prices skyrocketing, rattled
the global economy, and proved a major strategic advantage in
negotiations to end the war. Breaking that chokehold would ease global
economic concerns and deny Tehran a major source of leverage.
Fresh UAE attacks blamed on Iran draw new reality in the Gulf.
Dubai,
May 6 (AFP) May 06, 2026-Hours after the UAE's top oil executive said
the country had "emerged stronger" from war and as thousands attended an
Abu Dhabi summit to boost the local economy, phones across the country
were alerting that missiles were incoming.The first attacks since a
truce came into effect last month were a stark reminder of its
fragility, dampening hopes of a quick return to normality, even as Iran
categorically denied on Tuesday that it was behind the new offensive.The
attacks have imposed a new reality in the Gulf: should fighting resume
between the United States and Iran, the UAE would be the one to pay,
analysts told AFP.- 'Not again' -The new attacks on Monday, which the
UAE blamed on Iran, pushed schools to revert to remote learning, having
resumed in-person classes roughly two weeks earlier.In the weeks
preceding the attacks, residents had trickled back to the UAE, where 90
percent of the population are foreigners, with beachgoers returning to
the iconic man-made Palm while Dubai restaurants returned to life.One
executive at a food and beverage company told AFP they were in a meeting
to discuss raising salaries following war-driven cuts, when phones
began ringing."We literally just slammed our faces into our hands and
sat in silence for a solid minute," they told AFP, requesting anonymity
to discuss sensitive matters."There was an overall feeling of...
exhaustion, of disbelief that this might start again," they said.Iran
targeted the UAE more than any other country during the war, hitting US
assets but also energy and civilian infrastructure and even
landmarks.Despite the UAE's very high interception rate, the attacks
broke the aura of stability that the Gulf had long enjoyed and sent
tourists fleeing during peak season.- New reality -The threat of renewed
strikes now looms over the region's wider economy, not just oil and
gas, threatening diversification ambitions in the Gulf."The UAE non-oil
private sector signalled a further loss of momentum in April, with
operating conditions showing their weakest performance for more than
five years," warned David Owen, a senior economist at S&P Global
Market Intelligence.For weeks, Gulf states have been stuck between war
and peace as talks stall and the vital Strait of Hormuz remains all but
closed."This might become a new reality where every now and then we have
a few alerts," the executive told AFP, warning the economy depended on
stability and the perception of safety.Speaking about Iran, Emirati
political scientist Abdulkhaleq Abdulla said: "Whenever they are angry
against America or Israel or anything, they could, they will shoot at us
and probably we are their prime target."- Why the UAE? -The UAE is a
top US ally and an Arab country with ties to Israel, making it a prime
target for Iran, said HA Hellyer, Middle East expert at the London-based
Royal United Services Institute for Defence and Security Studies.Its
diversified economy means Iranian attacks have additional repercussions,
while proximity to Iran makes it an easier drone target than Israel, he
said.Iran may also single out the UAE to attempt "to further drive a
wedge between Gulf countries", compounding an Emirati-Saudi rift that
broke out publicly in December over Yemen.The Gulf's two biggest
economies are divided over the war and on Iran. The UAE has had a more
hawkish stance and expressed maximalist demands for any deal, while
Saudi Arabia has supported mediator Pakistan's efforts.The attacks
attributed to Iran raise "the risk of Emirati retaliation; Abu Dhabi has
signalled it will consolidate further US and Israel ties", Hellyer
said.In contrast, Riyadh has increasingly grown to see Israel as a major
threat since normalisation talks fell through following the outbreak of
the Gaza war.Riyadh, which has sustained fewer Iranian attacks than its
neighbour, "regards the risks of action as being greater than the risks
of inaction and the Emiratis view it in the opposite direction",
Hellyer said.
Iran's top diplomat holds talks with Chinese counterpart in Beijing.
Beijing,
May 6 (AFP) May 06, 2026-Iranian Foreign Minister Abbas Araghchi met
his Chinese counterpart Wang Yi for talks in Beijing on Wednesday,
according to China's Xinhua news agency.China is a key customer for
Iranian oil, defying sanctions imposed by the United States as
Washington seeks to choke off revenue to Tehran.Xinhua did not
immediately provide more details about the talks.Araghchi arrived in
Beijing on Wednesday morning, Iranian local media reported."During this
visit, our country's Foreign Minister will discuss bilateral relations
and regional and international developments with his Chinese
counterpart," Fars news agency said.Araghchi's trip comes before US
President Donald Trump's scheduled visit to China on May 14-15 to see
President Xi Jinping -- a trip he delayed after the United States and
Israel attacked Iran.US Secretary of State Marco Rubio on Tuesday called
on China to put pressure on Araghchi to loosen Tehran's chokehold on
the Strait of Hormuz, through which one-fifth of the world's oil once
transited."I hope the Chinese tell (Araghchi) what he needs to be told,
and that is that what you were doing in the straits is causing you to be
globally isolated," Rubio told reporters.

Exclusive Breakthrough expected one month ago has
yet to materialize-Board of Peace won’t hold Israel to truce terms if
Hamas doesn’t okay disarmament offer-In letter obtained by ToI, US-led
body indicates Israel not adhering to key parts of ceasefire’s 1st
phase, but says it won’t have to if Hamas doesn’t accept decommissioning
framework-By Jacob Magid-5 May 2026, 11:28 pm
The US-led Board
of Peace tasked with overseeing the postwar management of Gaza does not
intend to hold Israel to the terms of the October 2025 Gaza ceasefire if
Hamas does not accept the international panel’s framework for the
terror group’s disarmament, a document obtained by The Times of Israel
shows.While the Board of Peace’s High Representative for Gaza Nickolay
Mladenov has warned that refusal from Hamas to disarm could lead to the
resumption of the war, he goes much further in the document, saying that
Israel will not be expected to halt attacks in Gaza or ensure
humanitarian aid enters the Strip.“Failure by Hamas to accept the
framework within a reasonable timeframe, as determined by the Board of
Peace and after consultation with the parties, shall render such
commitments null and void,” Mladenov writes in the document — a letter
that he and senior US official Aryeh Lightstone sent to the head of the
Palestinian technocratic government that is meant to replace Hamas in
Gaza.The Board of Peace has been engaged in negotiations with Hamas for
several months, conditioning major reconstruction projects for the
war-flattened Gaza on the decommissioning of the group’s weapons.Hamas
has refused to comply, arguing that Israel must first adhere to the
terms of the ceasefire’s first phase, which included a hostage-prisoner
exchange along with the scale-up of humanitarian aid into the Strip and
the partial withdrawal of Israeli forces.In an apparent effort to meet
Hamas halfway, Mladenov and Lighstone state in the letter that they
approached Israel in early April to secure guarantees that it would
fully implement US President Donald Trump’s 20-point plan for ending the
war.While the Board of Peace has preferred using the 20-point plan as
the foundation of its work, the ceasefire document that Israel and Hamas
actually signed last year only focused on the first phase.Hamas has
argued that progressing to the second phase’s defining issue of
disarmament cannot take place before phase one is fully implemented.The
letter doesn’t explicitly state that Israel has been violating the terms
of phase one, but it does go through eight key terms largely from a
previously unpublished humanitarian annex of the October ceasefire deal,
and states that Israel has again agreed to adhere to each of them.For
example, it quotes the October deal’s clause stating that “All military
operations, including aerial and artillery bombardment and targeting
operations, will be suspended.”It then says Israel has recommitted to
“suspend all military operations.”For its part, Israel has continued
carrying out near-daily strikes throughout Gaza since the ceasefire,
justifying them by saying it is striking “imminent” threats to its
forces.Other terms of the ceasefire, the Board of Peace envoys say in
the letter, that Israel has recommitted to following, including allowing
in 4,200 trucks of humanitarian aid into Gaza each week, fully
reopening the Rafah Crossing between Gaza and Egypt, withdrawing IDF
troops to the originally-agreed-to Yellow Line in Gaza, allowing in
shelter items and medical supplies and repairing critical infrastructure
in the Strip.Aid numbers dropped significantly below required
benchmarks following the outbreak of the US-Israeli war against Iran,
though those numbers have come back up in recent weeks following Board
of Peace pressure on Israel. Similar pressure was needed to resume the
operation of the Rafah Crossing, while it has apparently been less
successful in coaxing Israel to halt its gradual pushing of the Yellow
Line closer to the Gaza coast.While Trump’s 20-point plan envisioned
Israel’s gradual withdrawal from the Strip in line with Hamas’s
disarmament, recent months have instead seen the IDF unilaterally expand
the half of the Strip that was supposed to only remain under its
control temporarily.The Board of Peace envoys’ decision to first request
Israeli assurances on specific issues raised by Hamas and then lay them
out in the letter appeared to be an implicit acknowledgement that those
key phase one terms had been violated by Israel. But Mladenov and
Lightstone appeared to have been satisfied by the guarantees they
secured from Israel and wrote in the letter that the ball was in Hamas’s
court.Writing to National Committee for the Administration of Gaza
(NCAG) chief commissioner Ali Shaath on the week of April 5, the pair
informed him that the mediators had submitted to Hamas a “framework for
weapons decommissioning and IDF withdrawal” on April 3.“We expect to
finalize negotiations on the implementation of the decommissioning
framework this week,” wrote Mladenov and Lighstone, a State Department
official who has also been appointed as a senior adviser to the Board of
Peace.The pair appeared to be referencing the April 11 deadline they
had given Hamas to accept the framework for the gradual handover of all
weapons over an eight-month period as a basis for negotiations.With
Hamas pushing back on the effort, the Board of Peace envoys decided to
swallow their deadline, rather than blow up the talks completely.Hamas
on Saturday finally submitted its response to the disarmament framework
it received roughly one month earlier, but largely bucked demands to
give up all of its weapons, according to two Arab diplomats familiar
with the matter.The terror group’s counteroffer instead argued that the
handover of its weapons can only be done as part of a framework
culminating in the establishment of a Palestinian state, the diplomats
said.Israel is reportedly preparing to resume intensive military
operations in Gaza, though disarming Hamas proved elusive over two years
of war. Supporters of a renewed military operation claim soldiers will
have an easier time operating, given that there are no longer any
Israeli hostages in Gaza.Mladenov — whose office declined to comment on
the record about this story — met with Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu
in Jerusalem on Tuesday and tweeted afterward that it was a “positive
and substantive discussion.”“We all reaffirmed our commitment to the
full implementation of Trump’s 20-Point Comprehensive Plan,” he wrote.
“Working with all sides to turn commitment into concrete actions. This
will require decisions for progress. We keep moving forward in the
interest of a better future for Israelis and Palestinians.”

Democratic lawmakers ask Rubio to reveal details of Israel’s nuclear
program-Letter, which is expected to be ignored, claims US ‘cannot
develop a coherent nonproliferation policy’ for Mideast without
disclosing details on alleged Israeli atomic arsenal By Lazar
Berman-Today, 3:53 am-MAY 6,26
A group of 30 House Democrats has
demanded that US Secretary of State Marco Rubio disclose details of
Israel’s alleged nuclear weapons arsenal.“We cannot develop a coherent
nonproliferation policy for the Middle East,” they wrote in a letter
dated Monday, “including with respect to Iran’s civil nuclear program
and Saudi Arabia’s civil nuclear ambitions, while maintaining a policy
of official silence about the nuclear weapons capabilities of one party
central to the ongoing conflict in which the United States is a direct
participant.”“We ask that you hold Israel to the same standard of
transparency that the United States expects from any other country that
may be pursuing or retaining nuclear weapons capability,” said the
group, led by Texas Congressman Joaquin Castro.Israel does not confirm
or deny having atomic weapons, maintaining a policy of official
ambiguity on the issue, as both Democratic and Republican American
presidents have also done over the decades. Monday’s letter is expected
to be ignored.The Democratic representatives argued in the letter that
Congress “has a constitutional responsibility to be fully informed about
the nuclear balance in the Middle East, the risk of escalation by any
party to this conflict, and the administration’s planning and
contingencies for such scenarios. We do not believe we have received
that information.”They asked for details on Israeli warheads and
launchers, enrichment capabilities, and what the US has been told about
Israeli doctrine and red lines, as well as what is produced at the
Dimona nuclear reactor. The facility at Dimona, a southern city targeted
by Iran in the recent war, is said to be the home of Israel’s alleged
nuclear weapons program.“The United States openly acknowledges the
nuclear weapons programs of the United Kingdom, France, India, Pakistan,
Russia, China and North Korea,” they wrote. “We ask that Israel be held
to the same standard as any other foreign country, and that the United
States government speaks candidly about its potential nuclear weapons
capabilities, whatever they may be.”Times of Israel staff contributed to
this report.
Protesters bearing Hezbollah flag scuffle with NYPD
while marching on synagogue-Demonstration against Israel real estate
event draws hundreds, who chant ‘Death to the IDF’ and ‘End the settler
Zionist state’By Luke Tress-Today, 7:30 am-MAY 06,26
NEW YORK —
Anti-Zionist protesters scuffled with police, chanted for Israel’s
destruction and expressed support for terrorist groups at a
demonstration in New York City on Tuesday.The protesters said they were
targeting an event marketing real estate in Israel held at the Park East
Synagogue on the Upper East Side of Manhattan.Synagogues rent out space
to the real estate groups, which also market apartments in West Bank
settlement blocs, drawing protests that tend to be especially
vitriolic.The hardline Pal-Awda activist group organized Tuesday’s
protest and has led other demonstrations against synagogues in the
region.Around 100 demonstrators gathered on Lexington Avenue, and
several hundred on 3rd Avenue, next to Hunter College, putting the
crowds on both sides of the synagogue.They chanted, “We don’t want no
two states, we want all of it,” “End the settler Zionist state,” “Death
to the IDF,” and, “There is only one solution, intifada revolution.”They
also chanted, in Arabic, “From the water to the water, Palestine is
Arab,” to the beat of a drum.One of the protesters used her fist to beat
on an image of the Chabad Hasidic movement’s late spiritual leader
Rabbi Menachem Mendel Schneerson, which was affixed to a crossing
signal. Several held up their hands to form an inverted triangle, a
symbol associated with Hamas.A group of several dozen
counter-demonstrators gathered across the street, holding signs that
said, “Antizionism is a hate movement,” and, “Antizionism gets Jews
killed.” The signs reflected a growing trend in the US Jewish community
that brands anti-Zionism as an expression of anti-Jewish hatred itself,
moving past the antisemitism paradigm.The counter-protesters chanted,
“USA,” and sang Israel’s anthem, “Hatikvah,” or “The Hope.” One wore a
shirt for the extremist Jewish Defense League.The anti-Zionist
protesters berated the counter-protesters as “Nazis,” “pedophiles,” and
“baby killers,” and told them, “Go kill yourself.” The pro-Israel
demonstrators called their opponents “terrorists.”Pal-Awda led a protest
against an Israel immigration event at Park East Synagogue late last
year, when they were allowed to gather next to the entrance, and close
enough to counter-demonstrators that the two sides were able to throw
objects such as coffee cups at each other.Police officials have
acknowledged mistakes in handling that demonstration, and at Tuesday’s
rally, NYPD officers kept the protesters inside a barricade, around half
a block away from the synagogue entrance, and across the street from
counter demonstrators.Dozens of officers were at the scene and the
streets surrounding the synagogue were closed to traffic. The police
response earned praise from the Jewish Community Relations Council of
New York.After two hours, the protesters began roaming around the area
of the synagogue, with organizers marshaling the participants to “close
gaps” and remain as a tight group.The crowd scuffled with police as they
attempted to approach the synagogue, as officers manned metal
barricades on Third Avenue and the protesters attempted to pass
through.The protesters, flying a Hezbollah flag overhead, berated the
police, calling them “pedophile protectors” and “pieces of shit.” One of
the protesters on the barricade wore a yellow bucket hat that said
“Hezbollah” in blue lettering.The officers included members of the
Strategic Response Group, an NYPD unit that New York City Mayor Zohran
Mamdani has vowed to disband.The demonstrators moved on, attempting to
get ahead of police to approach the synagogue. At one point, officers
closed the exit to a playground the protesters had entered to keep them
away, and inside the playground.The protest last year at Park East
Synagogue, and another at a Queens Synagogue, led the New York City
Council to introduce legislation requiring the police to formulate and
publicize plans to handle protests at houses of worship.That legislation
passed late last month, but police are not yet required to take new
measures.
US doubles down on urging Lebanese president to meet
Netanyahu, unfazed by his refusal-Washington says direct engagement is
best way to swiftly advance peace and security deals, after Aoun said
agreements must proceed meeting; Rubio: Peace ‘imminently achievable’
but Hezbollah ‘the problem’By Jacob Magid-Today, 6:13 am-MAY 6,26
The
United States appeared unmoved on Tuesday by Lebanese President Joseph
Aoun’s rejection of its efforts to facilitate a meeting between him and
Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu, with Washington doubling down on its
call for such high-level engagement between the two leaders as it seeks
to advance a joint effort aimed at disarming Hezbollah.“President Trump
has been clear that direct engagement between the two countries is the
best way to swiftly advance a lasting peace and security agreement,” a
State Department official said in a statement sent to querying
reporters.“Diplomacy is ongoing, and we will not comment on our ongoing
discussions with the two countries,” the official continued, apparently
referencing reports that the US was working to schedule a third round of
ambassador-level talks between Israel and Lebanon in Washington next
week.“Hezbollah is still trying to derail negotiations with attacks on
Israel and threats inside of Lebanon,” the State Department official
said. “We are working to create the conditions and political momentum
needed to move this forward.”The US has been pushing for a meeting
between Netanyahu and Aoun for weeks, with President Donald Trump first
claiming on April 15 the two leaders would speak on the phone the next
day — a call that never ended up happening. When he announced a
ceasefire between Israel and Hezbollah the next day, Trump claimed that
the two leaders would meet at the White House in the next week or
two.While Aoun’s government is the first in decades to express a desire
to curb Hezbollah’s influence in the country, the Iran-backed terror
group still wields significant influence in Lebanon, and a relatively
weak Beirut is trying to act without sparking another civil war with the
roughly one-third of the country’s population that is
Shiite.Accordingly, Aoun quietly pushed back on US calls for him to meet
Netanyahu in person, particularly while Israeli forces continue to
occupy a six-mile buffer zone in southern Lebanon. The Israel Defense
Forces has been razing homes in almost every Lebanese village along the
northern border, saying they have been used to either store Hezbollah
weapons or that they can be used to target Israel. The demolitions have
created scenes reminiscent of the destruction in Gaza, sparking growing
international outcry.Israel says the buffer zone is necessary to protect
norther communities from Hezbollah attacks, while critics of the policy
argue it legitimizes the terror group, which claims to be acting to
defend Lebanon’s sovereignty.Israeli forces have been coming under
constant Hezbollah drone fire in southern Lebanon, where the IDF
withdrew from a similar buffer zone over two decades ago after nearly
two decadesWhile fighting between Israel and Hezbollah in southern
Lebanon has continued, the ceasefire announced by Trump in mid-April has
largely held in Beirut and much of the rest of the country.The US
announced an extension of the ceasefire at the second ambassador-level
meeting between Israel and Lebanon, which Trump joined at the White
House on April 23. The first meeting was held two weeks earlier and was
the highest-level engagement between the two countries in decades-The
sides have been discussing a framework for an eventual peace deal that
would see Israel withdraw from Lebanon, an empowered Lebanon disarm
Hezbollah as well as Jerusalem and Beirut normalizing relations.Aoun:
Security deal must come before Netanyahu meeting-The US has argued that a
meeting between Netanyahu and Aoun would help build momentum toward
that effort, but the Lebanese president on Monday pushed back on
high-level engagement as he faces threats from Hezbollah.“We must first
reach a security agreement and stop the Israeli attacks on us before we
raise the issue of a meeting between us,” Aoun’s office said in a
statement.Aoun “reiterated his view that the timing is not appropriate
now for a meeting” with Netanyahu, the statement said.The statement from
Aoun’s office said a third round of “preparatory talks” were expected
“in the coming days.”Last week, the US embassy in Beirut called for such
a meeting, saying that “Lebanon stands at a crossroads. Its people have
a historic opportunity to reclaim their country and shape their
future,” adding that “the time for hesitation is over.”Aoun said, “There
is no turning back from the path of negotiations, because we have no
other option,” according to the statement from his office, which
reiterated his aim is for the withdrawal of Israeli troops from
Lebanon.Earlier Monday, US Ambassador to Lebanon Michel Issa told
journalists that “to me, if the president (Aoun) visited President
Trump, there is no loss.”Aoun “can go and present his decisions clearly”
to Trump and Netanyahu, and after returning to Lebanon, “We can begin
negotiations. I don’t know why people consider this a loss or
concession,” Issa said.Aoun “will go to present all Lebanon’s demands,
most importantly the sovereignty of its lands,” Issa said, noting full
Lebanese territorial sovereignty was a key Hezbollah demand.Israeli
strikes have killed almost 2,700 people in Lebanon since Hezbollah
sparked the latest war by attacking Israel in solidarity with Iran,
including dozens since the ceasefire, according to Lebanon’s health
ministry. The Israeli military has said that it has killed over 1,900
Hezbollah operatives, including hundreds of members of the terror
group’s elite Radwan Force, since the escalation of hostilities.Rubio:
Israel-Lebanon peace deal ‘imminently achievable,’ but for
Hezbollah-Asked about the status of the talks on Tuesday, US Secretary
of State Marco Rubio said a peace deal between Israel and Lebanon is
“imminently achievable,” while accusing Hezbollah of playing spoiler.“By
and large, I think a peace deal between Lebanon and Israel is
imminently achievable, and should be,” Rubio said during a White House
press briefing. “The problem with Israel and Lebanon is not Israel or
Lebanon, it’s Hezbollah.”“The reason why Lebanon gets attacked by Israel
is that Hezbollah is… launching rockets against Israelis,” he
argued.“We’re going to do everything we can to make sure that both sides
continue to talk so the progress can be made on some sort of permanent
ceasefire that isn’t constantly spoiled by Hezbollah,” Rubio
added.German FM offers qualified support for Israeli buffer zone in
Lebanon-Also Tuesday, Germany’s foreign minister offered qualified
support for Israel’s buffer zone in Lebanon while hosting his Israeli
counterpart in Berlin, while also criticizing humanitarian conditions in
Gaza and “de facto annexation” in the West Bank.Johann Wadephul
underscored Germany’s staunch support for Israel after a meeting with
Foreign Minister Gideon Sa’ar but said close alliances would not “avoid
difficult topics.”Sa’ar defended the continued fighting, arguing that
Israel needed to destroy Hezbollah and other terror groups operating in
the area who have launched attacks on Israel.But Sa’ar said he offered
Wadephul assurances that “Israel has no territorial ambitions in
Lebanon.”“Our presence in the areas by our northern border has one goal:
to protect our citizens,” Sa’ar said.Wadephul endorsed that stance,
calling Israel’s ongoing invasion “necessary.”“There’s every right for
Israel to be there,” Wadephul said.But Wadephul also warned that
“Lebanon must not be allowed to become a theater of war where it is the
civilians who pay the price” and said that “a younger generation growing
up amidst the ruins of their parents’ homes” would not make Israel any
safer.Wadephul condemned Hezbollah attacks on Israel “in the strongest
possible terms” and said direct talks between Israel and the Lebanese
government offer “hope.”AFP contributed to this report.
London
cops announce new unit to protect Jews amid surging antisemitic
violence-Metropolitan Police says ‘community protection team’ will start
with 100 officers who’ll combine neighborhood patrols with ‘specialist
protection and counterterror capabilities’By Agencies and ToI Staff
Today, 3:11 am-MAY 6,26
London’s Metropolitan Police on Wednesday
announced the creation of a special unit to protect Jews following a
spate of hate attacks amid growing antisemitism.The Met said the new
“community protection team” will initially comprise 100 extra officers
and combine neighborhood policing with “specialist protection and
counterterrorism capabilities.”It will provide “a more visible,
intelligence‑led and coordinated presence focused on protecting”
London’s Jewish communities, the force said in a statement.The
announcement came the day after police said they were probing the latest
arson attack targeting Jews, this time involving a former synagogue in
east London.It followed last week’s stabbing of two Jewish men in the
Golders Green area of north London, which is home to a large Jewish
community. A man has been arrested on suspicion of attempted murder over
the terror attack, in which he wounded the pair.In March, an arson
attack in the same neighborhood destroyed four ambulances operated by
the Hatzola Jewish charity, while bottles suspected of containing
gasoline have been thrown at two synagogues in other separate
incidents.The Met noted in its announcement that it has arrested over 80
people in the past four weeks in response to both antisemitic hate
crimes and the string of arson attacks amid the war with Iran, some of
which authorities are examining for possible Iranian links.Met
Commissioner Mark Rowley revealed last week he had been discussing with
ministers and officials about creating a 300-strong neighborhood
policing team, including specialist armed officers, for the Jewish
community, citing what he said was the greatest-ever threat facing UK
Jews. British and other Diaspora Jewish communities were already facing a
massive spike in antisemitism amid the war sparked in Gaza by the
Hamas-led onslaught of October 7, 2023.Rowley hailed the creation of the
new team, with around a third of the force size he called for, as “an
important step in strengthening our response to the sustained threats
Jewish communities are facing.”“It brings together experienced local
officers who know their communities, supported by specialist
capabilities, to provide more visible, consistent and intelligence‑led
protection,” he added in Wednesday’s statement.The London police added
the unit would initially be “primarily focused” on protecting the Jewish
community but was “also intended to provide a blueprint for how
policing responds when tensions rise” in other communities.“This focus
does not mean the Metropolitan Police is deprioritizing other
communities,” the force added.“Hate crime in all its forms — including
ongoing efforts to tackle racism, anti‑Muslim hate crime, homophobia and
other forms of hatred in the capital — remains a core policing
priority.”Meanwhile on Tuesday, the chief prosecutor for England and
Wales Stephen Parkinson announced hate crime prosecutions were set to be
fast-tracked due to the “deeply troubling rise in antisemitic
incidents.”
Despite mayor’s cancellation, ‘Globalize the
intifada’ event proceeds in Sydney-The event, barred from state-council
house due to fears it would cause violence, held in a park instead,
attracts small crowd-By Zev Stub-5 May 2026, 10:25 pm
An event
seeking to promote the use of the slogan “Globalize the intifada” went
ahead in a park in Sydney after the city’s mayor blocked it from taking
place at a state council-owned venue.The event, which was officially
canceled on Monday after fears that it would spark violence, attracted
just about 150 people and was held without major incident, according to
local news reports.‘It’s a must that we globalize the intifada,” local
political figure Ahmed Ouf told the crowd. “We have to break the
internal chains and invite others.”The forum was intended to defend the
phrase against efforts to ban it, and had drawn strong criticism from
politicians and Jewish leaders. Australian lawmakers have sought to
proscribe the slogan in public debate since the deadly terror shooting
targeting a Hanukkah celebration at the city’s Bondi Beach in December,
which killed 15.In a statement on social media yesterday, Mayor Clover
Moore said the event risked “contributing to hostility and fear.”But the
organizers, a group known as the Stop the War on Palestine group,
defied the order.“We reject the implication… that our meeting risks
public safety and respect for members of the community,” the organizers
wrote on Instagram announcing the change of venue.The phrase “Globalize
the intifada” has become a flashpoint in public debate, particularly in
the aftermath of the December 14 terror attack at Bondi Beach. Jewish
organizations have warned that the language carries connotations of
violence, with the Executive Council of Australian Jewry (ECAJ) noting
that the term “intifada” is associated with bloody, violent campaigns
involving attacks on civilians.The event’s organizers argue that the
term “intifada” — Arabic for uprising — represents a legitimate call for
political resistance and free speech. A flyer promoting the forum said
efforts to ban the phrase were designed to “smear and repress the
Palestine movement.”The second Palestinian intifada, from 2000-2005, was
marked by a strategic onslaught of Palestinian suicide bombers against
Israeli targets, primarily killing civilians.After the Bondi Beach
terror attack, Australian lawmakers proposed tougher laws against hate
speech, including a proposed ban on the slogan in New South Wales. The
state of Queensland formally proscribed the use of the phrase in March,
and NSW Premier Chris Minns has sought to do the same, calling the
slogan “hateful, violent rhetoric.”However, that effort was complicated
last month when the NSW Court of Appeal struck down a set of
anti-protest laws that had been proposed by the government, ruling that
protecting people from “upsetting or inflammatory” speech was not a
sufficient legal reason to burden constitutional rights.Germany and
Austria have both legislated severe restrictions on the use of the
phrase, along with other inciting slogans like “From the river to the
sea, Palestine will be free.” Last week, UK Prime Minister Keir Starmer
called for police to prosecute people chanting it after two Jewish men
were stabbed in London in a terror attack.The event was held as the
Royal Commission holds an inquiry into the country’s growing
antisemitism problem. Members of Australia’s Jewish community have been
giving personal testimony at a public hearing investigating the factors
that led to the Bondi Beach attack, in which a father and son massacred
15 people at a Jewish Hanukkah event on Australia’s most famous beach in
December in an Islamic State-inspired terrorist attack.
At
handover ceremony, outgoing Air Force chief calls for ‘external’ Oct. 7
inquiry-Tomer Bar says ‘objective’ inquiry essential ‘for trust’ between
citizens and country; regarding Iran, new chief Omer Tischler says
ready ‘to take entire Air Force eastward, if required’By Emanuel
Fabian-5 May 2026, 10:05 pm
In his parting speech as chief of the
Israeli Air Force, Maj. Gen. Tomer Bar on Tuesday called for an
“external” committee to investigate the failures of the October 7, 2023,
terror onslaught, something the government has resisted forming for
nearly three years.During the handover ceremony at the Tel Nof Airbase,
Maj. Gen. Omer Tischler took over as head of the IAF from Bar, who
served in the role for the past four years, during a tenure that
included protests by pilots, Hamas’s October 7 attack, and major
operations against Iran amid a war on multiple fronts. Bar is ending a
39-year career in the military.The IAF handover ceremony was initially
set for April, but was delayed due to the recent war in Iran.“It is
clear to all that the full picture will become clear only after the work
of an objective external investigation committee,” Bar said at the
handover ceremony.“This is essential for the IDF, for all the security
bodies in the state, for the [bereaved] families… and for the trust
between the citizens and the IDF and the country that is supposed to
protect them,” he said.The IAF conducted its own inquiry into Hamas’s
October 7 assault, which found that the number of aircraft it had on
standby did not apply to a wide-scale surprise attack; the IAF did not
know at the time where to focus its firepower, due to a lack of
information coming from the ground; and a series of airstrikes carried
out on Hamas tunnel networks likely had no effect on the
invasion.Despite polls consistently showing a substantial majority of
Israelis want a state commission of inquiry to be established, Prime
Minister Benjamin Netanyahu and his coalition have rejected attempts to
establish one. They say a commission should only be set up after the war
is concluded, and reject a state commission appointed by the Supreme
Court chief, claiming it would be biased against them.During the 2023
protests against the coalition’s judicial overhaul, over 1,100 Israeli
Air Force reservists, including more than 400 pilots, announced that
they would suspend their volunteer reserve duty in protest of the
government’s agenda to overhaul the judicial system.During the handover
ceremony, Bar said the IAF was “only a step away” from its foundations
being undermined amid the judicial overhaul protests.“At the beginning
of my tenure, we were in the eye of the storm, with the outbreak of the
protests against the judicial reform,” Bar said. “We drew the clear
boundary line between politics and influence and the IDF.”“This was not
easy, but we fought to preserve the competence and cohesion of the Air
Force, and its designation as the defender of Israel, under all
conditions, so that no opinion or stance not directly related to the
mission of safeguarding the security of the state would enter within its
walls,” Bar said.He added that today, he still stands by this decision
not to allow protests to enter the IAF. At the time, Bar released a
letter giving the protesting pilots a two-week deadline to return to
volunteer service or risk being deemed unfit to continue flying and
potentially dismissed from the military.“We were only a step away from
undermining the foundations of the Air Force. And nevertheless, when the
war broke out, all the servicemen and women proved devotion and
resilience on the day of command, on October 7, and also when we faced
the challenges of the war in seven arenas simultaneously,” Bar
said.Transitioning to the war with Iran, Bar said that Israel would
maintain its ability to act independently against Iran, following the
joint war with the United States against the Islamic Republic.“We fought
Iran shoulder to shoulder with the number one superpower in the world,
in cooperation and with unprecedented operational achievements.”“We
shared the most intimate intelligence, worked together on the plans, and
flew together, two air forces that are a tremendous and unified force,”
Bar continued.He said the IAF “will preserve this capability, but we
will also not give up our ability to act independently.”“Even at these
very moments, we are alert and prepared for any development, in defense
and in offense,” Bar added amid fears the Iran ceasefire could break
down.Also speaking at the handover ceremony, incoming IAF chief Tischler
said the force was “closely monitoring” the situation in Iran.“We are
closely monitoring what is happening in Iran, and are prepared to take
the entire Air Force eastward, if we are required to do so,” he said.“We
will not allow enemies to gain strength on our borders,” he added, “the
Air Force will operate and will continue to operate — with
determination, strength and responsibility to eliminate threats, in
every arena, at every range, against every enemy.”IDF Chief of Staff Lt.
Gen. Eyal Zamir also spoke at the ceremony, saying that the military is
“prepared to respond with force” if Iran targets Israel amid the
escalation in the Gulf.“Our forces are deployed across all sectors,
fighting and prepared in immediate readiness for any scenario — from
near and from far,” Zamir said, adding that “the IDF, in all its
systems, maintains high readiness.”Zamir said the military is “closely
monitoring developments in the Persian Gulf” and is “prepared to respond
with force against any attempt to harm Israel.”Tischler and Zamir’s
comments come amid rising tensions between the United States and Iran,
with the threat of the ceasefire collapsing and continued hostilities.US
President Donald Trump said earlier on Tuesday that if he were to order
a return to war against Iran, it would probably take 2-3 weeks to
achieve his aims, which would also likely involve the Israeli Air
Force.Tischler, 50, joined the military in 1993 and served as a fighter
jet pilot. He later commanded the 140th and 119th squadrons and the
IAF’s flight school.In 2019, he was promoted to brigadier general and
appointed to head the Nevatim Air Base — home to numerous squadrons,
including F-35 stealth fighters. In 2021, Tischler was appointed head of
air operations, a role he served in until August 2023.In late September
2023, he became IAF chief of staff — a role akin to a deputy, which
focuses on force build-up and other administrative matters — just 11
days before Hamas’s terror onslaught.Ahead of the latest war with Iran,
Tischler was appointed as a sort of military envoy to the Pentagon,
since Israel no longer has a permanent defense attaché to the US, due to
a clash between Zamir and Defense Minister Israel Katz.Times of Israel
staff contributed to this report.
Four Palestine Action members
convicted over 2024 raid on Israeli arms firm’s UK site-Jurors in
retrial also find one defendant guilty of striking police officer with a
sledgehammer and fracturing her spine during break-in at Elbit’s
Bristol factory By Agencies and ToI Staff 5 May 2026, 9:32 pm
Four
British Palestine Action members were convicted Tuesday of smashing a
UK site of Israeli defense firm Elbit in 2024, with one defendant found
guilty of twice striking a police officer with a sledgehammer.Prosecutor
Deanna Heer said the attack was “meticulously organized” to cause
maximum damage and get information about the company. The raid caused an
estimated 1 million pounds ($1.36 million) in damage.After deliberating
for more than 14 hours, jurors in Woolwich Crown Court found Charlotte
Head, 30, Samuel Corner, 23, Leona Kamio, 30, and Fatema Rajwani, 21,
guilty of criminal damage in the raid in Bristol on August 6, 2024. They
face sentencing June 12. Two others, Zoe Rogers, 22, and Jordan Devlin,
31, were acquitted of criminal damage.Head was behind the wheel of a
van that crashed through the gates of the Elbit Systems factory in
Bristol, where the four activists, dressed in red jumpsuits, began
destroying property with sledgehammers and crowbars before ending up in a
fight with guards and police.By a majority of 11 to one, jurors also
found Corner guilty of inflicting grievous bodily harm, but cleared the
23-year-old of the more serious charge of grievous bodily harm with
intent.Corner was filmed during the raid bringing a sledgehammer down on
Sgt. Kate Evans, fracturing her spine.Palestine Action said it sought
to dismantle drones and weaponry that the group believed would be used
to kill people, and the defendants argued that the escalation in their
clashes with security and police had not been part of the plan.Tuesday’s
verdict against the anti-Israel activists followed a retrial, after a
different jury in February cleared the six of aggravated burglary but
failed to reach verdicts regarding criminal damage and some other
charges.The attack in Bristol was one of the events that led the
government to proscribe Palestine Action last year. London’s High Court
has called that decision unlawful, but kept the ban in place while the
government appeals.Attacks on Jewish and Israeli sites abroad have
spiked amid the war sparked in Gaza by the Hamas-led onslaught in
southern Israel on October 7, 2023, while the UK has seen a surge in
antisemitic attacks in recent weeks.
Kyiv says Russia broke unilateral ceasefire with drone and missile attacks.
Kyiv,
Ukraine, May 6 (AFP) May 06, 2026-Kyiv said on Wednesday that Russia
had violated a unilateral ceasefire called by Ukraine by attacking
Ukrainian cities with 108 combat drones and three missiles
overnight.Moscow had never said it would abide by Kyiv's call to halt
fire starting at midnight on May 6 -- a counter-truce called for by
President Volodymyr Zelensky after Russia announced a short-term
ceasefire to cover its Victory Day parade in Moscow on Saturday."This
shows that Russia rejects peace and its fake calls for a ceasefire on
May 9th have nothing to do with diplomacy. Putin only cares about
military parades, not human lives," Ukrainian Foreign Minister Andriy
Sybiga wrote on social media.Russia had on Tuesday launched waves of
drone, missile and bomb attacks on multiple cities across Ukraine,
killing at least 28 people and wounding dozens in one of the deadliest
days for civilians in weeks.Ukrainian attacks had also killed five in
the annexed peninsula of Crimea and two in a long-range drone strike on
central Russia.The two sides have been at war since Russia launched its
full-scale invasion in February 2022.Talks on ending what has spiralled
into Europe's worst conflict since World War II have shown little
progress.Moscow wants Kyiv to pull its troops out of the east and reject
Western military support -- demands rejected in Kyiv as tantamount to
capitulation and a betrayal of the hundreds of thousands of soldiers
killed.Moscow's defence ministry said it downed 53 Ukrainian drones
between 21:00 and 07:00 (1800-0400 GMT) -- far fewer than in previous
days. It did not say whether any of the drones attacked after Kyiv's
unilateral truce was supposed to come into effect at midnight.
No pilgrims': regional war hushes Iraq's holy cities.
Najaf,
Iraq, May 6 (AFP) May 06, 2026-In Iraq's holy city of Najaf, the
majestic shrine of Imam Ali stands quiet, its vast courtyards no longer
echoing with the multilingual whispers of pilgrims from before the
Middle East war.The absence of tourists leaves nearby shopkeepers and
hotel owners with little to do, their days dragging on as they hope for
the crowds to return and revive their businesses."Iranians used to keep
us busy, whether the jeweller, the fabric merchant or the taxi driver.
Now there are none," said jewellery shop owner Abdel Rahim Harmoush."It
used to be hard even to step into the market because of foreigners...
Even street vendors drew huge crowds of visitors," the 71-year-old
added.Millions of Shia Muslims from around the world typically flock to
Najaf and fellow holy city Karbala every year.But the regional war
ignited in late February by US-Israeli strikes on Iran has stemmed the
usual influx of pilgrims from the Islamic republic, Lebanon, the Gulf
states, India, Afghanistan and elsewhere.Iraq was drawn into the
conflict from the onset, with strikes targeting US interests and
Tehran-backed armed groups in the country.People in the holy cities
"live on religious tourism", said Harmoush, who for 38 years has worked
in the old market near Najaf's golden-domed mausoleum.The shrine is the
ornate burial place of Ali -- the Prophet Mohammed's son-in-law, the
fourth Islamic caliph and the first Shia Imam.Harmoush warned of
economic ruin were the crisis to persist: shop owners unable to pay rent
and taxes, cab drivers left without passengers and labourers struggling
to find work.- Hotels closed -Hotel owner Abu Ali, 52, was forced to
lay off five employees, leaving just one to tend to nearly 70 empty
rooms."How can I pay salaries if there is no work?" he said.Saeb Abu
Ghneim, head of the hotel association in Najaf, told AFP that 80 percent
of the city's 250 hotels had closed, with more than 2,000 employees
laid off or on unpaid leave.He added that most of Najaf's religious
tourism relies on Iranians, followed by Lebanese visitors -- also
trapped at home by war -- and other nationalities.The sector, which
already weathered the closure of mosques and shrines in the pandemic, is
a rare type of tourism in a country reeling from decades of
conflicts.Religious tourism also constitutes a significant source of
revenue for Iraq's non-oil economy.Before the war, 28-year-old Moustafa
al-Haboubi could barely manage the crowds queuing to exchange foreign
currency for Iraqi dinars.He now spends the long hours idly scrolling
through his phone or chatting with neighbours."We barely receive one or
two customers," he said. "There are no pilgrims now, Iranian or
otherwise."Even after a fragile ceasefire took effect on April 8 and
Iraq's airspace reopened, little has changed.Some pilgrims trickle
through during the week, while on weekends the area grows somewhat
livelier as Iraqis visit the sacred sites.- 'Catastrophe' -The situation
is no different in Karbala, which is around 80 kilometres (50 miles)
north of Najaf and home to the shrines of the revered grandsons of
Prophet Mohammed, Imam Hussein and his brother Abbas.The main corridor
linking the two golden shrines and the surrounding alleyways were once
alive with the murmurs of tourists walking to prayers.Today, the
visitors are almost exclusively Iraqi"The situation is dangerous... a
catastrophe," said Israa al-Nasrawi, head of Karbala's tourism
committee.She warned that the war had devastated the city's economy,
slashing tourist numbers by around 95 percent and forcing hundreds of
hotels to close.The city's many pilgrim tour companies sit idle.Akram
Radi, who has worked in the sector for 16 years, said his company once
helped up to 1,000 visitors a month but is now operating at only 10
percent of capacity."I might have to close and look for another job," he
said.
Five dead in strikes on alleged drug boats off Latin America: Pentagon.
Washington,
United States, May 6 (AFP) May 06, 2026-The US military says it has
killed five people in two strikes on alleged drug trafficking boats in
waters off Latin America over the last two days, bringing the death toll
from the contentious bombing campaign to at least 190.US Southern
Command said the US military on Tuesday "conducted a lethal kinetic
strike on a vessel operated by Designated Terrorist Organizations," in
the Eastern Pacific.In a statement on X, SOUTHCOM said that "the vessel
was transiting along known narco-trafficking routes... and was engaged
in narco-trafficking operations.""Three male narco-terrorists were
killed during this action," it added.This latest strike follows a
similar, but separate attack on Monday in the Caribbean.SOUTHCOM said US
forces killed two people in that strike.President Donald Trump's
administration insists it is effectively at war with what it calls
"narco-terrorists" operating in Latin America.But it has provided no
definitive evidence that the vessels it targets are involved in drug
trafficking, prompting heated debate about the legality of the
operations.
Press Release from Business Wire: Sentinel Midstream LLC-(AFP) May 05, 2026
DALLAS,
May 5, 2026 (BSW) - Sentinel Midstream LLC (Sentinel) today announced
the commencement of its Texas GulfLink deepwater port (Texas GulfLink or
the Project), marking a significant milestone enabled by funding
received pursuant to the U.S.-Japan Trade Agreement.The project advances
in coordination with the U.S. Department of Commerce and the Government
of Japan and reflects the shared commitment to strengthening global
energy security and expanding U.S. export infrastructure. Sentinel will
lead the development of Texas GulfLink, overseeing construction,
commercial operations, and long-term management of the terminal.Funding
provided under the U.S.-Japan Trade Agreement, pursuant to Executive
Order 14345 signed on September 4, 2025, underscores continued
international confidence in U.S. energy infrastructure and supports the

commencement, Texas GulfLink will immediately begin construction of its
deepwater crude oil export terminal, unlocking a new level of market
access for U.S. producers, creating high-quality American jobs, and
reinforcing the United States' role as a reliable global energy
supplier.Howard Lutnick, United States Secretary of Commerce, said:"The
historic U.S.-Japan Trade Deal is driving another investment forward.
This time into another American energy supplier. The milestone will
bring jobs and acceleration to the Gulf of America for years to come,
and I look forward to Japan and Sentinel Midstream's progress ahead in
delivering clean, affordable and efficient energy production to American
consumers in this win for the Trump Administration."John Cornyn, United
States Senator of Texas, said:"Today's announcement from the U.S.
Department of Commerce that the Texas GulfLink project will commence
construction is great news for Texas and a testament to the Trump
administration's continued commitment to unleashing American energy.
Texas GulfLink will bring well-paying jobs to Brazoria County and help
generate billions of dollars in American crude oil exports, and I look
forward to welcoming the new export terminal to the Lone Star State."Ted
Cruz, United States Senator of Texas, said:"Dallas-based Sentinel
Midstream is playing a critical role in expanding Texas's energy
infrastructure and exporting American energy to our allies. When I
became the top Republican on the Senate Commerce Committee, I made
securing federal approval for deepwater port projects one of my top
priorities and fought to move them forward. Texas Gulf Link is now
coming to fruition-supporting thousands of jobs and delivering billions
in investment across Texas."Randy Weber, United States Representative of
Texas 14th District, said:"Investment is pouring into the United
States, and you can see it right here on the Texas Gulf Coast. Just 30
miles off our coast, a new deepwater terminal will load the largest
crude carriers in the world and move American energy to our allies,
backed by partners in Japan and stakeholders here at home. This project
shows exactly what Southeast Texas brings to the table with world class
ports, a skilled workforce, and the energy infrastructure that keeps
investment coming and America producing."Jeff Ballard, Chief Executive
Officer of Sentinel Midstream, said:"Texas GulfLink is about more than
infrastructure, it is about unlocking the full potential of American
energy. This project creates a direct path from one of the most liquid
crude hubs in the world to global markets, strengthening our allies,
improving trade dynamics, and reinforcing the United States as the
supplier of choice in an increasingly uncertain energy landscape. We are
proud to be a trusted partner of both the U.S. and Japan Governments
and help lead the next chapter of American oil exports."A Generational
Asset-Texas GulfLink's deepwater crude oil export terminal (the
Terminal) will be located approximately 30 miles off the coast west of
Freeport, Texas, in the Gulf of America. Once complete, it will have the
capability to fully load Very Large Crude Carriers (VLCCs) offshore,
eliminating the need for costly and inefficient lightering operations.
This direct-loading capability enhances global competitiveness while
significantly reducing emissions associated with traditional export
methods.By enabling efficient, large-scale exports, the Terminal will
serve as a critical conduit connecting global markets to reliable, North
American-produced crude oil. It is expected to expand market access
across Asia and Europe, strengthen trade relationships with key allies,
and reinforce the role of the United States as a stable, long-term
energy supplier.Once operational, Texas GulfLink is anticipated to
support billions of dollars in annual export value, improve the U.S.
trade balance, and drive sustained economic growth across the Gulf Coast
and beyond.About Sentinel Midstream LLC-Sentinel Midstream LLC is a
