US slams Gaza flotilla: Pro-Hamas, counterproductive stunt
The US on Thursday condemned the latest Gaza flotilla, which sought to breach Israel’s naval blockade of the Gaza Strip and was intercepted by the Israeli Navy
The US condemns the Global Sumud Flotilla as a baseless, counterproductive stunt organized by a sanctioned pro-Hamas entity,
Our allies should take decisive action against this stunt, and participants should face any relevant legal consequences,
Unlike organized assistance mechanisms coordinated with regional partners thanks to President Trump’s peace plan, this flotilla circumvents mechanisms designed to ensure humanitarian assistance is received by civilians,

And I shall be sanctified among the Children of Israel,... And you shall not desecrate My holy Name."

Sa'ar: Flotilla participants to be sent to Greece
So far, Israel — through the IDF — has successfully blocked attempts to breach the lawful naval blockade on Gaza and the arrival of vessels from the provocative flotilla, including last night,
All participants in the provocative flotilla who were taken off the vessels were taken off unharmed,
We call on anyone who is not interested in provocations but rather in humanitarian aid to Gaza to do so through the BOP, which also issued a statement on the matter today."

Keir Starmer: UK government 'taking immediate action' after London stabbing
This is not an isolated incident. It is the latest in a spate of utterly vile attacks on the Jewish community,
I know that this is a deeply worrying time for the whole community,
The State of Israel serves as the sovereign home for all Jewish people. We are actively engaged in various initiatives to encourage Aliyah, offering programs designed to facilitate a seamless integration. In the coming week, we will convene an Aliyah fair in London to provide comprehensive information and practical support for those seeking to make Israel their home. I extend my wishes for a complete recovery to the wounded, and stand in firm solidarity with the entire British Jewish community,
After attacks on synagogues, Jewish institutions, community ambulances and now Jews targeted in Golders Green, the UK government can no longer claim this is under control. Prime Minister Keir Starmer’s statements are no substitute for confronting the roots of antisemitism festering across United Kingdom. British Jews should not need security patrols and emergency volunteers to live openly as Jews. Enough words. The UK must act decisively and urgently."

Mojtaba Khamenei: Persian Gulf will have bright future without US presence
Today, two months after the largest military deployment and aggression by the world’s bullies in the region, and the United States’ disgraceful defeat in its plans, a new chapter is unfolding for the Persian Gulf and the strait of Hormuz,
The siege scenario will fail and Iran will never lose the strait of Hormuz. History will record that the Iranian nation sank the superpower of America in the Persian Gulf and the Sea of Oman. Both the field and diplomacy are moving forward with the coordination of the leader of the revolution and the support of the people”
Iran, through its management of Hormuz, will ensure the security of the Gulf region and eliminate the possibility of exploitation by enemies. The new laws and management of the Strait will bring stability and prosperity to all the peoples of the region,

Arab party MK won't rule out supporting Bennett
When we recommended [Benny] Gantz and he turned his back on us and joined [Prime Minister Benjamin] Netanyahu — he was clearly a right-wing figure — it was not easy for us. We understood then that the greatest danger was Netanyahu, and we had doubts and internal debates. It was very difficult, but we ultimately recommended him out of responsibility,
Today, we still understand that Netanyahu and those around him are a major danger,
We have already proven our sense of responsibility in the past,
