Israeli cyberattacks “undermined the regime’s legitimacy in the most intimate way: by denying loyal officials and security personnel access to their own money.” Read @Doranimated @zriboua on the new era of financial warfare. wsj.com/opinion/predat…
To all those who genuinely care about the humanitarian distress of the Palestinians in Gaza, watch the video below.
GHF says it’s ready to help and secure broader aid efforts after witnessing large stockpiles of unused UN aid piling up in Gaza, with no trucks willing to pick it up due to looting. “The aid is there. The need is urgent. The system is failing. We’re stepping up and offering…
I’ll be joining a @JISS_Israel webinar on the latest about the developing situation in Syria with Brigadier General Yossi Kuperwaser, former Director General of the Israeli Ministry of Strategic Affairs, and Major General Ya’akov Amidror, former Israeli National Security Advisor.…

Today we mark six months since @POTUS Trump assumed office. My friend and mentor, Dr. Rafael Bardaji, wrote a brilliant op-ed ~ food for thought. voz.us/en/opinion/250…
More confirmation, HTS should be immediately designated a Foreign Terrorist Organization. @marcorubio Sir. Respectfully, you need to admit you were wrong to delist them, and correct this immediately. Share if you agree to get his attention.
Massive scandal and blatant collusion! Listen to this leaked recording of Sweida’s so-called “General Security” commander, Ahmed Al-Dalati. He represents Ahmad Al-Sharaa and this reveals how the Syrian government truly views the Druze. Why should the Druze even consider…
Syria: Christian civilians and religious minorities are being systematically targeted by the Islamist Syrian regime in Suwayda. Whole families have been butchered in their homes. Bodies litter the streets, cars and hospitals. This is barbarism.
He knows full well that the Al-Julani regime leads the atrocities against the Druze and Christians in Suweida.
I would encourage our State Department or White House to share this report with Special Envoy Thomas Barrack, who just told Reuters there is no evidence the Syrian government is involved in the horrendous atrocities committed against the Druze and Christians and other minorities…
A welcomed statement by @RepJoeWilson .
Grateful to meet with a Druze delegation from the Swaida American Society. I will be working with Jordan to ensure safe passage of American citizens out of Swaida and humanitarian convoy into Swaida. I support @USAmbTurkiye efforts for ceasefire which must be enforced and…
I met this evening, with Sheikh Muwaffaq Tarif, the spiritual leader of the Druze community in Israel, together with his team. We discussed the horrific massacre and the vile attacks against the Druze in the As-Suwayda region of Syria. The Druze community is an inseparable part…
Iran’s “space program” is nothing more than a ridiculous charade designed to hide their efforts to develop long-range ballistic missiles to attack America and our allies. Don’t be fooled by their propaganda. apnews.com/article/iran-s…
This cannot stand. Following bad advise will only destabilize the region further.
Despite the Druze massacre, Trump is pushing to triple U.S. support for al‑Sharaa and the Syrian regime —on advice from MBS and Erdogan. He shouldn’t be shocked if Israel steps in to defend the Druze. No nation stands by while its kin are slaughtered by jihadists.
The massacre of the Druze and Christians in Syria and the West is silent msn.com/en-us/news/wor…
Repealing the Caesar Act is a strategic mistake. Moreover, forgoing any leverage over a fluid situation at a time when the Damascus regime is committing massacres against minorities is no less than outrageous!
While I appreciate the intent of my colleagues on the Financial Services Committee and @RepMikeLawler for bringing up the timely issue of streamlining Syria sanctions, I believe that a clean repeal of the Caesar Act is most in line with the President’s agenda to “give Syria a…
If Hamas embraces you - you are in the wrong place. Hamas’s praise for the statement by the group of countries is the best proof of the mistake they made – part of them out of good intentions and part of them out of an obsession against Israel. We are at a very sensitive moment…
This guy Barrack strikes me as a fool. His friends in the Syrian regime, including ISIS veterans, are slaughtering Druze and other minorities. And he has the gall to condemn the Israeli government for “complicating” matters?!? This kind of bullsh*t public positioning gives aid…

תקיפות ישראל נגד יעדי משטר בסווידא ובדמשק היו הדרך היחידה להפסקת הטבח בדרוזים בסוריה, אחיהם של אחינו הדרוזים בישראל. מי שמותח ביקורת על התקיפות לא מתמצא בעובדות. מדיניות הממשלה בסוריה, כולל הימצאות צה"ל בחרמון ובאזור הביטחון והגנה על הדרוזים - נכונה ואחראית ומשקפת עוצמה וערבות…
Sorry Mike, @USAMBTurkiye doesn’t seem to know what he is doing/talking about. One could/should say, the United States backing Al-Qaeda & ISIS “is madness”. The Druze elements, who remained loyal to the end, are the ones who’ve sided with Al-Julani & his Damascus regime.…
“Strong nation states are a threat — especially Arab states are viewed as a threat to Israel,” @USAMBTurkiye said. But in Syria, he said, “I think all of the the minority communities are smart enough to say, we’re better off together, centralized.”
I have a feeling this guy won’t last long. They’ll have to send a replacement from Türkiye
