(JNS) — Jerusalem is readying for talks with the White House on a new foreign military financing deal that would focus more on joint projects than cash handouts, Reuters reported on Tuesday, citing the Financial Times. “The partnership is more important than just the net financial issue in this context … there are a lot of things that are equal to money,” Gil Pinchas told the Financial Times, prior to stepping down as chief financial adviser to Israel’s Defense Ministry. He was referring to military- and defense-development projects on...
(JNS) — The Palestinian Authority’s attempt to throw off Western scrutiny by claiming it has ended pay-for-slay suffered another setback after beneficiaries celebrated receiving the payments. Families living abroad received their full payments from the “Martyr’s Fund,” the program which provides monthly stipends for attacks against Israelis, according to Palestinian Media Watch, an Israeli watchdog group. Payments typically go to the families of the terrorists. “Jordan salaries have officially entered the bank—for released prisoners and...
(Jerusalem Center for Security and Foreign Affairs via JNS) — Senior security officials in Jerusalem argue that an unprecedented opportunity exists to replace Iran’s ayatollah regime, and urge United States President Donald Trump to act decisively to seize the moment. According to them, Israel missed a rare chance to eliminate the Iranian leadership, headed by Ali Khamenei and his son Mojtaba, who is designated to succeed him, during the 12-day “Rising Lion” operation against Iran in June 2025. Israel had the intelligence and operational capabi...

Ours is such an age: a time in which public virtue is measured not by the suffering one alleviates, but by performative symbolism.

The revealing contrast is that, in Congo, children starve in what experts unanimously describe as one of the worst humanitarian collapses of the cent...

MAS hosted a “Thrift4Sudan” on Jan. 18 at its youth center in Brooklyn. The New York Post reported that the vendors sold key chains, stickers, pins and other items that referenced Hamas, Hezbollah and the Popul...
(JNS) — International leaders gathered in Davos, Switzerland, for an annual forum intended to focus on economic development. Yet several wars are raging throughout the world right now, including in Europe itself. Earlier this month, the United States carried out a military operation to depose of Venezuelan dictator Nicolas Máduro. This was coupled with American musings over a similar action in Cuba and debate over the status of Greenland. All this meant that the forum was never expected to live up to its original purpose. Rather, ge...
(JNS) — Hezbollah leader Naim Qassem warned that any military strike on Iran would also be considered an attack on his Lebanese Shiite terror army, and cautioned that a new war against Tehran would set the Middle East ablaze, AFP reported on Monday. According to the report, in a televised address to supporters at a solidarity rally for the Islamic Republic, Qassem said Hezbollah and its main backer were facing “aggression that does not distinguish between us. … [W]e are targeted by any potential aggression and determined to defend ourse...
