U.S. President Donald Trump said he stopped Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu from fighting in Gaza, a war he said would have continued "for years" without his pressure on Netanyahu. “He would have just kept going,” Trump told TIME in a newly published interview. “It could have gone on for years. It would have gone on for years. But I stopped him, and everybody came together when I stopped him.” Trump and Netanyahu have heaped praise on each other publicly. But Trump has also shown signs of frustration with Netanyahu's hardline approach, saying in his recent speech to the Knesset...

Passengers at airports in Pennsylvania and British Columbia were stunned Tuesday when loudspeakers suddenly blasted pro-Hamas messages and slurs against President Trump and Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu. Videos posted by travelers showed the unauthorized recordings echoing through terminals at Harrisburg International Airport in Pennsylvania and Kelowna International Airport in Canada. Screens at Kelowna also flashed messages praising Hamas and calling for “Free Palestine,” according to officials and witnesses. Airport authorities said the digital break-ins targeted both public address systems and flight information displays — a form of cyber-vandalism that disrupted boarding and startled passengers but caused no flight safety...

Hundreds of thousands of Israelis poured into Tel Aviv’s Hostages Square on Saturday night in what everyone present was hoping would be the final vigil on behalf of the hostages taken to Gaza two years ago. Some of the stars of the rally were three American Jews — Steve Witkoff, Jared Kushner and Ivanka Trump — who played a role in pushing negotiations between Israel and Hamas over the finish line. Witkoff was visibly emotional. “I dreamed of this night. It’s been a long journey. This is the most powerful sight,” Trump’s Middle East envoy told the crowd. “All of...

U.S. Flag with Israeli Stars Which of the United States or Israel uses the other for its foreign policy? Is Israel the proxy for US foreign policy in the Middle East? Or does Israel determine US foreign policy, both through and because of the Zionist lobby and the neocons and liberals present in the US administration? Is it “the world upside down” “tails wagging dogs”? This is a very old question: who manipulates whom in this American-Israeli relationship?

WASHINGTON — Assassinated conservative activist Charlie Kirk advised Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu how to counter “anti-Israel sentiment” among Gen Z and win the “information war” being waged against the Jewish state, according to a letter obtained by The Post. Kirk wrote to Netanyahu in the May 2 missive that he was alarmed by “anti-Israel and anti-Semitic trends” hitting “record levels on social media” since one of his “greatest joys as a Christian is advocating for Israel and forming alliances with Jews in the fight to protect Judeo-Christian civilization.”“My team and I have spent months analyzing these trends and debating...

The orchestrated walkout by the Islamic-lobby-dominated Organization of Islamic Cooperation (OIC) during Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu’s address at the United Nations was not just a diplomatic stunt—it was a blatant act of intellectual cowardice and a disgraceful betrayal of the UN’s core principles. While Israel stood on the global stage advocating for peace, coexistence, and the fundamental right to self-defense, OIC nations chose petulance over dialogue. This wasn't a protest—it was a refusal to hear the truth. Their exit marked yet another example of the Islamic bloc’s long-standing strategy: silence Israeli voices rather than engage with them, smear Israel rather...

Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu vowed Sunday that “[t]here will be no Palestinian state west of the Jordan River” after several countries recognized one, despite the war and the lack of signs of statehood. Netanyahu said in a statement (translated from Hebrew by the Government Press Office): I have a clear message to those leaders who are recognizing a Palestinian state after the horrendous October 7 massacre: You are rewarding terror with an enormous prize. And I have another message for you: It’s not going to happen. There will be no Palestinian state to the west of the Jordan River....

The Morality of Transfer, Part I By Boris Shusteff "One single act of compulsion is better for both sides than perpetual friction." (Israel Zangwill). On September 20, 1998 the Israeli daily Maariv published the results of a survey conducted among Israeli Jews. One of the questions was formulated in the following way: "Do you agree with deporting all the Arabs in the West Bank and Gaza if Israel does not pay a diplomatic price for that?" 65% of respondents answered "Yes," 26% said "No" and 9% did not give their opinion. Nevertheless, it is not the fear of diplomatic complications...

You might not be aware of it, but there is a trial going on in Florida for Ryan Routh, the man authorities say came within minutes of carrying out his plan to assassinate President Donald Trump on Sept. 15, 2024, during the presidential campaign. The Routh assassination attempt came just two months after Thomas Crooks fired a high-velocity rifle round that hit Trump in the ear during a rally in Butler, Pennsylvania. One man was killed and two others were wounded in Crooks’s attack. Crooks was killed by a Secret Service sniper after firing eight rounds. Crooks’s motive has never...

Israel’s “War Hero” Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu has once again put to rest the conspiracy theory that Israel assassinated Charlie Kirk. Netanyahu began his official announcement of innocence Wednesday night by invoking the Nazis – an 80-year-old German political party that murdered millions of Jews, but has been out of power since 1945. Following this, the war hero confirmed that the Jewish state is not guilty of the September 10 assassination. “The Nazi propaganda minister said that ‘the bigger the lie, the faster it will spread’,” Netanyahu said. “Well somebody has fabricated a monstrous big lie – that Israel had...

“I was shocked and sickened by the reaction of– the ghoulish and really repulsive reaction of the prime minister of Israel, Benjamin Netanyahu, to Charlie’s death,” said Carlson on The Tucker Carlson Show. “Basically made it all about him and all about his country, immediately trying to take the energy, the sadness, the grief that people felt over Charlie’s murder and redirect it towards support for whatever project he’s involved in.”He continued, “I don’t think I’ve ever seen anything lower than his attempt to hijack Charlie’s memory and use it for his own political ends, particularly because what he said...

JERUSALEM (AP) — Israel launched its offensive in Gaza City on Tuesday, vowing to overwhelm a city already in ruins from nearly two years of war as thousands of Palestinians fled in vehicles strapped with mattresses and other belongings that clogged a coastal road. The operation into the largest Palestinian city escalated a conflict that has roiled the Middle East and likely pushed any ceasefire with Hamas farther out of reach. The military would not offer a timeline for the offensive that aims to crush the militant group’s ability to fight, but Israeli media suggested it could take months. “Gaza...
