Thanks to an investment from the Semi J. and Ruth W. Begun Foundation, a supporting foundation of the Jewish Federation of Cleveland, hospital-based violence intervention services at MetroHealth & Univ Hospitals will continue helping survivors of gun violence & their families.

Antisemitism is on the rise, and Jewish communities across the country continue to face serious security threats. Take one minute to contact your elected officials and urge them to cosponsor the bipartisan Jewish American Security Act today: https://t.co/cC2QKdGUk1

Important for the details to come out & can’t take anything that Iran’s national media puts out as fact but even the Pakistani outline of this “deal” is a pretty big capitulation to Iran, tough to believe..

[Barak Ravid @BarakRavid]

In a new post on Truth Social Trump clarified that the opening of the Strait of Hormuz will take place only "upon the signing of the Deal on Friday, for purposes of mine removal"

[Nadav Pollak @NadavPollak]

This "US ally" again showed its true allegiance.
It's insane that Trump still refers to them as a close friend of the US #Qatar

[Raz Zimmt @RZimmt]

A source close to Iran’s negotiating team: The claims made by Trump and some foreign media that the agreement has already been finalized and will be signed on Sunday in Geneva are completely false.

[Aishah Hasnie @aishahhasnie]

From WH official on Iran deal:

1. Nuclear material will be destroyed and removed
2. Nuclear program will be dismantled
3. None of their money released until they perform
4. Strait of Hormuz will be open
5. No Iran funding of terrorist groups

Official adds: "This is what they agreed to. This is a performance based deal."

CASE UPDATE from @FBIDetroit: Department of Justice indicts eight conspirators who threatened University of Michigan officials, businesses, and the Jewish Federation

According to the indictment, after the October 7, 2023, Hamas terrorist attacks in Israel, the defendants and unindicted conspirators enacted a series of coordinated “actions” threatening University of Michigan leaders, law enforcement, and businesses. Seemingly prompted by their perception of the University of Michigan’s and other victims purported financial support of Israel, the conspirators insisted publicly that they “must escalate, mobilize, and organize to demand divestment by any means necessary.”

[FBI Director Kash Patel @FBIDirectorKash]

🚨 Early this morning, @FBI and partners arrested 7 individuals on a 10 count indictment for allegedly targeting University of Michigan leaders and businesses in the Eastern Michigan region with violent threats and attacks.

The indictment alleges that after the October 7, 2023 Hamas terrorist attack on Israel, these individuals - a group of college-aged adults - engaged in a coordinated campaign of violent, criminal acts seeking to pressure University of Michigan leaders and other businesses in the Eastern District of Michigan to cut off all ties with Israel.

The subjects allegedly vandalized the victims’ property, spray painted their homes with messages like “Intifada” and “Free Palestine,” left threatening notes on their doors, and even broke windows of the victims’ homes - throwing glass jars filled with chemicals while children slept inside.

They deliberately chose the one-year anniversary of Hamas’s attack to engage in some of their most visible criminal acts - including one subject who specifically targeted the Bloomfield Township Jewish Federation on October 7, 2024. On the same day, another subject - employed by the University - vandalized the University President’s home.

The alleged criminal targeting occurred for over a year - beginning approximately March 2024 and continuing until April 2025.

@FBIDetroit and our partners pursued a thorough, detailed investigation of this case - and subjects have been charged for their alleged role in conspiracies to transmit threats in interstate and foreign commerce.

[The Free Press @TheFP]

If the Palestinians laid down their arms, there would be peace. There could be a two-state solution. There could even be a one-state solution; it wouldn’t matter.

If the Palestinians simply stopped killing Jews and stopped building a culture that celebrates pointless murder and martyrdom as its highest values, there could be a diverse, tolerant, and prosperous society between the Jordan River and the Mediterranean Sea.

There could have been one 80 years ago. But if the Israelis laid down their weapons, there would be a genocide. This was obviously true on October 7, 2023. And for anyone who has been paying attention, it has been true on every other day since the founding of the State of Israel.

In the last few months, PIJ and Hamas have been releasing obituaries on commanders killed during the war. Interesting to look back how those deaths were covered.

Ex:

In June 2024, Reuters reported on an air strike killing Palestinian soccer player Ahmed Abu Al-Atta. Now PIJ confirms he was a deputy platoon commander in the rocket unit.

Iran has launched a total of 24 ballistic missiles at Israel since last night, according to the IDF.

The military says the missiles were intercepted or struck open areas. The American military has also particpated in the interceptions of the missiles.

[Marc Ashed @MAshedCLE]

@SaraHirschhorn1 We can absolutely agree to disagree. Let’s hope it doesn’t spiral.

[Amichai Stein @AmichaiStein1]

Iran launched 10 missiles toward Israel

[Amit Segal @AmitSegal]

This is the problem for Trump and for the free world after two months of a cease-fire: the Iranians are convinced they won’t pay a price.
