Israel’s Tikva Hostages’ Families Forum denounced the shift to Phase 2 of US President Donald Trump’s peace plan for Gaza before the disarmament of Hamas and the return of all hostage remains.
The forum’s statement came just hours after Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu announced plans to reopen the Rafah Crossing with Egypt, allowing the US-backed National Committee for the Administration of Gaza to enter and kickstart reconstruction efforts after two years of war.

“Any progress in Gaza while Hamas has not been demilitarized and Rani Gvili is not home is a return to the cruel [security] conception that led to the Simchat Torah massacre.”

Israeli soldiers sing the Jewish melody "I Believe" as they recover the body of the final hostage, Ran Gvili.
The song is essentially a prayer declaring faith in the coming of Messiah – "Even if he tarries, I will wait for him." With these words on their lips, the soldiers embrace as they bring the last of their brothers home.

Israel President Isaac Herzog:
Ran Gvili, our hero, has returned home after 843 days.
Ran, a special forces police officer, went out to battle heroically in order to save lives on October 7th. Finally, Ran has been returned home to his family in Israel.
The entire people of Israel are moved to tears. Our hearts are with his parents, Talik and Itzik, who fought a noble and heroic battle to bring him home.
Thank you to all those involved in the operation to bring Ran home. This was an operation of immeasurable importance in fulfilling the sacred obligation to redeem captives.
After many difficult years, for the first time since 2014, there are no Israeli citizens held hostage in Gaza. An entire nation prayed and waited for this moment.
May Ran's memory be a blessing.

Albania stands with Israel — then and now.
Today in Jerusalem, Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu welcomed Albanian Prime Minister Edi Rama, praising him as a “great friend of the Jewish people” and highlighting Albania’s historic moral clarity during the Holocaust — the only European country where the Jewish population grew.
Rama, in turn, reaffirmed Albania’s unwavering stance against antisemitism and support for Israel’s fight against Hamas, which he called “neo-Nazi butchers.” He also condemned Iran’s regime and thanked Israel for defending Albania from Iranian cyberattacks.
The two leaders announced growing economic ties, defense cooperation, and the opening of a new Israel-Albania Chamber of Commerce in Jerusalem.
In a time of moral fog across much of Europe, Albania has chosen truth. And Israel has not forgotten.

The Australian government canceled the visa of a British-Israeli activist and critic of Islam Sammy Yahood just hours before he was scheduled to fly there to speak before Jewish audiences.
Yahood was due to run a series of self-defense workshops and launch his “peace through strength” campaign.
The Australian Jewish Association responded:
Over the past year the Australian government has revoked or denied visas to former Israeli Justice Minister Ayelet Shaked, American Jewish technology entrepreneur Hillel Fuld, and Knesset member Simcha Rothman.
The AJA said the obvious targeting of Jewish and Israeli voices was helping to fuel antisemitism in the country.

An artificial intelligence model developed by Israeli researchers improves the ability to predict the risk of diabetes and other life-threatening medical conditions up to 12 years before they are generally diagnosed, a new study shows.
The model, known as GluFormer, analyzes blood sugar patterns collected through glucose monitoring systems, which are used to determine future disease risk.
GluFormer’s predictions were found to be more accurate than other clinical tools, including the widely used HbA1c blood test, the standard for diagnosing diabetes.
The results of the peer-reviewed study were published in the scientific journal Nature.

🔻 A red triangle is not art. It’s a crosshair.
Just days before Holocaust Remembrance Day, Berlin nearly funded a “Palestinian cultural festival” using Hamas’s terror symbol in its promotional materials.
Thanks to firm intervention by the Israeli Embassy, the event was shut down. But the symbol—the red triangle—remains sprayed across universities and Jewish sites in Berlin, marking targets just as it does in Hamas videos.
This isn’t culture. It’s psychological warfare in plain sight.
