We’ve seen this a thousand times and we’ll see it a thousand more. There is nothing anyone can do for Gaza that Hamas won’t undo. If a ceasefire comes, as I hope it will, Hamas will use it to plan more of this same kind of war. If GHF collapses and all aid returns to UN hands,…
Hamas's secret police (Sahm/arrow unit) is turning up the heat against starving civilians in Gaza. It arrested a group of men who received food boxes from a GHF site in Rafah, only to steal their food parcels, beat, and strip them naked. According to those who were arrested,…
Brian Schatz will support the procedural vote on MilCon-VA bill. “I'm going to vote for it because I criticized them for abandoning the bipartisan process and this is a very, very small step in the right direction”
Turkey occupies 10% of Syria and has already partly partitioned Syria.
Turkish Foreign Minister Hakan Fidan: We will treat any attempt to divide Syria as a direct threat to Turkish national security. Israel seeks to divide Syria, while Turkey aims to preserve the unity of Syrian territory. Israel has used the Druze as a pretext to fuel chaos in…
Trump was ‘caught off guard’ by Israeli strikes in Syria and on church in Gaza, White House says, @emilyfjacobs reports. ji.news/3yrj5
A reminder to all that antisemitism is seeing a major revival not as mere prejudice, but as politics. As a universal political explanation. As a mobilizing political force. As an alliance-forming political tool.
Investigation reveals no damage to ancient church in Taybeh & investigation of origin of fire continues. I have NOT attributed the cause of fire to any person or group as we don't know for sure. The press has. I have said that regardless, it was crime & deserves consequences.
Contrary to misleading reports, no damage was caused to the Church of Saint George in Taybeh. The fire was limited to an adjacent open area, not the holy site. Emergency services received reports from local residents, including both Israelis and one Palestinian caller. The…
Megyn Kelly: “Can a man become a woman?” Rahm Emanuel: “No.” @megynkelly: “That’s so easy! Why don’t more people in your party just say that?” @RahmEmanuel: “Because I’m now going to go into a witness protection plan.”
Wishing a very happy birthday to my friend and colleague @SenJohnBarrasso! Grateful to serve alongside you as we deliver for the people of Wyoming. Here’s to many more!

Attendance issues for tonight’s fly-in vote. Full Dem attendance would’ve caused GOP leaders to scrap vote
Invoked, 44-43: Motion to invoke cloture on Executive Calendar #171 Terrance Cole to be Administrator of Drug Enforcement.
Cindy and I are heartbroken by the death of Hosam Saraya. Hosam was an Oklahoman and member of the Druze community who was tragically executed alongside other members of his family in Syria. We are praying for his family, friends, and the entire community as they grieve this…
#BREAKING Morey Levovitz and Steve Weil, the chair and CEO of the Friends of the Israel Defense Forces fundraising group, have resigned, two sources connected to FIDF told @eJPhil. This comes 3 weeks after a damning internal probe was leaked to @ynetalerts.
Hunter Biden blames President Biden's use of Ambien for his infamous debate performance: "I know exactly what happened in that debate. He flew around the world basically – the mileage that he could've flown around the world three times. He’s 81 years old. He’s tired as shit. You…
A House committee is set to consider a bill by @RepMikeLawler that aims to create oversight and set conditions for lifting sanctions on Syria, but stops short of full repeal of the 2019 Caesar Syria Civilian Protection Act. @marcrod97 reports: ji.news/3yn57
After meetings with the Minister of the Interior and with the help of @IsraeliPM , I’m happy to report that the issue concerning visas for American Evangelical organizations has been fully resolved. Starting in January, a change in the manner which visas for Christian…
Silence is when Cardinal Pizzaballa said, right after October 7th, that he would give himself to Hamas in exchange for the Israeli hostages, as he called them out on their crimes. No, the church was never silent on Hamas.
As a Roman Catholic, allow me to offer a defense of @JoelWBerry. To be sure, it was hyperbolic to say that ALL Catholics in Gaza support Hamas; but hyperbolic takes are nothing new here, so spare me your pearl clutching. Catholics are mad at Joel not so much because he was…
A powerful meeting at the Pentagon with my friend, U.S. Secretary of Defense @PeteHegseth. We discussed a wide range of regional and strategic issues, and agreed on concrete steps to ensure that Israel thrives and the Middle East becomes a better, safer place for both Israeli…
