🇮🇱 NETANYAHU: “TEN BLOWS TO THE AXIS OF EVIL”

Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu outlines 10 key achievements in the war against Iran and its proxies:

1️⃣ Strategic reversal: Iran sought to strangle Israel. Today, Israel is strangling Iran.
2️⃣ The world now recognizes the scale of the Iranian threat.
3️⃣ Israel is no longer alone now operating alongside the United States and regional partners.
4️⃣ The Iranian regime has been shaken at its core.
5️⃣ Two existential threats removed: nuclear weapons and massive ballistic missile stockpiles.
6️⃣ Iran’s proxy forces have been severely weakened.
7️⃣ Security zones established beyond Israel’s borders in Gaza, Syria, and Lebanon.
8️⃣ A new doctrine: Israel initiates, strikes, and surprises.
9️⃣ Air defense capabilities proven at the highest level globally.
🔟 National resilience: both the people and the economy remain strong.

'Fauda' star and singer Idan Amedi sings 'Nigmar' (It’s Over) at the funeral of the final hostage, Ran Gvili.

Amedi was seriously wounded himself during fighting in Gaza, and returned to reserves, as part of the unit taking part in operation to recover Gvili’s body from Gaza.

I can’t look away from Bari Weiss's story at CBS.

It's the drama. The memos. The anonymous staff statements. The internal rebellions that always claim they are defending journalism while quietly defending comfort. The whole thing is a perfect snapshot of what American media became in the last decade.

But I’m following it for a more serious reason. Bari Weiss represents a path that almost no journalist takes.

She did not just complain about a broken newsroom culture. She published her critique, walked away from the most prestigious platform in the industry, and built a competing institution. Then she returned to a legacy newsroom, not as a guest, not as a columnist, not as a hired pen, but with authority.

That is rare. That is the difference between talking about change and making it.
I have managed journalists for years. I know how much talent gets wasted on self-censorship. I know how many good reporters learn to anticipate the internal backlash and adjust their writing before the editors even touch it.

Weiss built an audience precisely because she wrote as if adults still exist.

The Jewish element is central. Weiss refused the defensive crouch. She spoke about antisemitism in ways that most never did; without the usual disclaimers. She treated Jewish safety as a story that belongs on the front page, not in a local news outlet or tiny corner of the internet.

David Ellison belongs in this story too. Owners decide whether courage is rewarded or punished. Owners decide whether leadership has cover when the internal outrage machine starts up. Ellison backing Weiss, and backing support for Israel after October 7, signals something that Jews and Israelis understand intuitively: Not only is it important to create news differently - It’s also okay to look at the Middle East through the prism of Western societies; and at Israel as homeland of the Jewish people - and the only democracy in the region.

Here’s my honest takeaway: Weiss is doing more for Jews and Israel than most of us, and she is doing it with creative thinking that turns backlash into leverage and chaos into direction.

That is leadership. 🇺🇸 ✡️🇮🇱

CHILLS: Freed hostage Agam Berger performed a moving duet with Rachel Goldberg, the recently remarried widow of Rabbi Avi Goldberg, who fell in battle in southern Lebanon last year.

The duet took place on Thursday at the National Education Conference in Jerusalem.

🔴 This story says everything.

Eyal Waldman, one of Israel’s top high-tech innovators & founder of Mellanox, believed in peace through opportunity.

In 2017, he opened a development hub inside Gaza, giving hundreds of Palestinian engineers high-paying jobs, dignity, and a future.

He said proudly:
“There are talented and smart people in Gaza. Cooperation reduces fear. Working together brings our nations closer.”

👉 He chose hope.
👉 He chose coexistence.
👉 He chose to invest in the very people the world said Israel was “oppressing.”

And then came October 7.

Palestinian terrorists crossed the border and murdered his 24-year-old daughter, Danielle, less than a mile from the center he built to give Gazans opportunity.

Read that again: He - gave - them - jobs.

This is the truth people refuse to look at:

Israel reached out with opportunity. Hamas answered with slaughter.

If this doesn’t expose the lie behind the “resistance” narrative, nothing will.

CNN commentator Van Jones argues that the global Jewish population of 15.8 million, 0.2% of humanity, with half in Israel, demands special protection against existential threats like anti-Israel slogans calling for its elimination.

[Arsen Ostrovsky @Ostrov_A]

Wow, talk about an investment in Israel's future!

World’s most valuable company, chipmaker giant @nvidia, is tripling its office space in Beersheva (southern Israel), and will recruit hundreds more employees. Israel already hosts Nvidia’s 2nd-largest development hub globally!

John Fetterman brings the Kennedy Center to complete silence as he delivers this emotional message on stage:

“I know and I love people who voted for President Trump. They are NOT fascists, they’re NOT Nazis, they’re NOT trying to destroy the Constitution.”

“I REFUSE to call people Nazis or fascists. I would never compare anybody — anybody to Hitler.”

“Like Charlie Kirk, all I could say is let people grieve — give people the space. I’m not going to use that terrible thing and that assassination to make my argument and try to put out my views.”

“It’s like, my God, he’s a father that had his neck blown out by a bullet. And now people have forgotten: President Trump was in my state — was shot in the head. Could you imagine where our nation would be if he were hit in the same way as Kirk? We really got to turn the temperature down.”

NVIDIA is hands down my favorite tech company. This beautiful message was just a cherry on top.

BREAKING: UNPRECEDENTED GESTURE 🇮🇱🇺🇸

In a rare move contrary to standard protocol, Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu and his wife Sara were invited to join President Trump in his official vehicle upon arrival at Ben Gurion Airport.

From there, the three departed together for the Knesset in Jerusalem — a powerful symbol of the deep bond between the United States and Israel.

"I have taken a lot of criticism—I think our party should have been firmly behind Israel."

"President Trump has a very strong commitment to Israel, and that's why I celebrate and support things that he has done."

SOME THOUGHTS FROM ME

Israel may have lost the PR war, but on the ground it destroyed the ring of fire that once surrounded it.

1. Lebanon: Israel crushed Hezbollah, paged and eliminated thousands of fighters, and took out Nasrallah along with his entire senior command.

2. Iran: Israel neutralized Iran’s nuclear threat, wiped out its ballistic missile program, and eliminated its top scientists and generals. Sanctions were reinstated, leaving Iran weakened and exposed.

3. Syria: The Iranian-backed Assad regime collapsed, ending Tehran’s land bridge to the Mediterranean.

4. Yemen: The Houthis were shattered, their long-range capabilities crippled.

5. Iraq: Iran’s militias have gone silent. Not a single attack in over a year.

6. Judea and Samaria: Palestinian terror networks were broken, their leadership dismantled, and control restored.

7. Gaza: Hamas lost its entire command structure. Sinwar, Haniyeh, and Deif are gone. The group agreed to disarm, give up control, and begin deradicalizing Gaza.

Let the world chase headlines and PR. Israel changed the map. It erased the existential threat, shattered Iran’s reach, and rose as the new superpower of the Middle East.

Israelis and Palestinians are celebrating tonight, with the end of the Gaza war in sight. While there are significant challenges ahead, there is hope here for the first time in many months.
