SHOULD ISRAEL ARM THE KURDS?
In a Jerusalem Post opinion piece, Kurdish-Swedish journalist Suzan Quitaz argues that Israel should move beyond moral support and actively help arm the Kurdish national movement.
Her case is strategic as much as moral: Kurdish forces share Israel’s enemies, could weaken Tehran’s control from within, disrupt the Iranian weapons corridor and provide Israel with a reliable regional partner against Iran, Turkey and Islamist movements.
For decades, Israel’s enemies have funded and armed forces against it. Should Israel now adopt the same strategy by supporting a people who also seek independence and face many of the same threats?
Would arming the Kurds strengthen Israel—or drag it into another regional conflict?

ASSASSINATION ATTEMPT TARGETS SON OF KURDISH GENERAL
Terrorists linked to the Iranian regime reportedly attempted to assassinate Mukri Yazdanpanah, the son of Gen. Hussein Yazdanpanah, today.
The attempt failed. Mukri Yazdanpanah is now receiving treatment from Kurdish doctors.
SYRIA RAISES KURDISH FLAG IN HISTORIC PALACE GESTURE
Syrian President Ahmed al-Sharaa welcomed Kurdistan Region President Nechirvan Barzani to Damascus, marking a symbolic milestone as a 9-meter Kurdish flag was raised at the People’s Palace for the first time. The leaders discussed stronger political, security, and economic ties, plans for a Syrian consulate in Erbil, and reaffirmed support for a stable, united Syria that protects all communities.
DRONE ATTACKS TARGET KURDISH AREAS IN NORTHERN IRAQ
Iranian or Iran-backed proxy drones are reportedly targeting Kurdish positions in northern Iraq tonight, marking another escalation in regional tensions.
U.S. STRIKES IRAN FOR 12TH CONSECUTIVE NIGHT
CENTCOM says American forces struck Iranian maritime capabilities, missile and drone storage facilities, coastal surveillance sites and air defense assets overnight.
The U.S. has also redirected nine commercial vessels and disabled one as part of its renewed maritime blockade.
More than 50,000 U.S. service members are now operating across the Middle East, CENTCOM says.
‼️EXPOSED: IRAN’S HANDS ARE COVERED IN UKRAINIAN BLOOD
Iran supplied thousands of drones, helped establish production facilities inside Russia, trained operators, deployed personnel and enabled the sustained bombardment of Ukrainian cities.
Avraham Russel Shalev of @KoheletForum argues that Iran’s leaders should be prosecuted for complicity in Russia’s war of aggression.
Accountability must extend beyond Putin.

MAJOR ESCALATION: Footage reportedly shows the aftermath of an Iranian strike on Kuwait’s Al-Subiya power station and water desalination plant—critical civilian infrastructure supplying electricity and water.
Analysis: Kurdistan does not need to copy Israel, but it can learn from its journey from a small and politically uncertain environment to a start-up and tech superpower.

In Memory of Senator Lindsey Graham
It is with deep sorrow that we mourn the passing of Senator Lindsey Graham, a steadfast friend of the State of Israel and one of the strongest voices in support of the Kurdish people and their aspirations for freedom, security, and dignity.
Throughout his years of public service, Senator Graham stood firmly with Israel. He consistently defended Israel’s right to protect its citizens, supported its fight against terrorism, opposed the Iranian regime’s aggression, and worked tirelessly to strengthen the strategic alliance between the United States and Israel. Even in Israel’s most difficult moments, his support never wavered.
Beyond his unwavering commitment to Israel, Senator Graham was also a true friend of the Kurdish people. He recognized the Kurds as courageous allies in the fight against terrorism and advocated for their legitimate rights, security, and future. His voice helped advance international recognition of the Kurdish cause and strengthened the partnership between the Kurdish people and the democratic world.
As President of the Kurdish Jewish Community in Israel, I extend my heartfelt condolences to his family, the American people, and all those who were inspired by his leadership.
Senator Lindsey Graham’s legacy will endure as a courageous statesman, a defender of freedom, and a true friend of both Israel and Kurdistan.
May his memory be a blessing.
Yehuda Ben Yosef
President of the Kurdish Jewish Community in Israel

ERDOĞAN’S TURKEY IS NATO’S BIGGEST CONTRADICTION
An analysis by @Dan_Diker of the @JerusalemCenter warns that Turkey hosts Hamas networks, backs Muslim Brotherhood-aligned forces, threatens Israel, retains Russia’s S-400 system—and still seeks American F-35s.
Erdoğan is using NATO membership to legitimize an Islamist regional power project.
How long will NATO continue pretending Turkey is a reliable ally?

@MOSSADil The people of Kurdistan have serious evidence that PKK barons and sympathizers work for the intelligence agencies of four states: Turkey, Iraq, Iran, and Syria. Let's accept the statements of PKK barons as proof. The PKK is a terrorist organization.
