After more than a decade of archaeological excavations, a breathtaking 1,600-year-old mosaic depicting the biblical hero Samson is finally on public display in the Galilee, northern Israel. Discovered in the remains of an ancient synagogue at Hukok, near the Sea of Galilee, the mosaic dates to the fourth or fifth century and depicts scenes straight from the Book of Judges - including Samson carrying the gates of Gaza and tying torches to the tails of foxes.

The synagogue was used by a Jewish community during the Talmudic period, when the Roman and Byzantine empires ruled the land. The mosaic is now part of the "Secrets of Law" exhibition at Beit Yigal Alon in Kibbutz Ginosar - telling a story of Jewish life in the Land of Israel that is 1,600 years old and still very much alive. The roots of the Jewish people in this land run deep. 🇮🇱🏺

A little taste of Israel in the heart of Paris! 🥙🇮🇱

Rock icon Lenny Kravitz paid a visit to an Israeli falafel restaurant in Paris, France.
Kravitz has a special connection to the Jewish people through his father, Sy Kravitz, who was Jewish and of Ashkenazi Jewish descent.

This is the power of Israeli food, bringing people together around the world! 💙

Em um vídeo publicado terça-feira (25), o xeque Hikmat al-Hijri, considerado o líder espiritual da comunidade drusa na Síria, exaltou a ligação entre a sua comunidade e o Estado de Israel. “Nós, drusos, somos parte inseparável de Israel. Compartilhamos o credo e a ideologia e esperamos que o restante da região siga esse exemplo”, afirmou.

O xeque tem estado no centro da disputa política entre o novo regime sírio de Ahmed al-Sharaa e as milícias drusas na província de Sweida. As tensões começaram como uma disputa local entre drusos e beduínos, mas rapidamente se transformaram em um confronto envolvendo a nova liderança síria lutando pelos beduínos, e Israel apoiando as comunidades drusas.

O resultado do conflito foi um massacre de civis drusos sírios e a separação informal de Sweida entre o controle do governo sírio e o de drusos. Desde então, os drusos têm buscado maior apoio de Israel e das potências ocidentais. Em seu vídeo, Hijri elogiou Israel por criar um Estado que protege o povo judeu e expressou a esperança de que um Estado semelhante seja criado para os drusos.

“Chegou a hora de que algo novo aconteça nos próximos dias”, disse Hijri. “Esperamos paz em toda a região, mas nossa principal preocupação é a estabilidade de Sweida.”

When antisemitism showed up at a San Diego Padres game, one father knew how to confront it.

A Jewish father took his son to the game and proudly pointed out Jewish player Spencer Horwitz. His son beamed with pride. Seconds later, the woman behind them allegedly made an antisemitic remark, suggesting Horwitz was cheating because he was Jewish.

The father didn’t stay silent. He stood up and confronted the hate.

Thanks to his connection with StandWithUs, he knew the importance of speaking up and making it clear that antisemitism should never go unanswered.

On the drive home, he turned the moment into a lesson for his son: when you see hate, no matter who it targets, you stand up against it.

The StandWithUs Antisemitism Task Force was there to support him and stand alongside him in the fight against antisemitism.

Evyatar David, de 25 anos, sobreviveu a mais de dois anos de inferno em cativeiro do grupo terrorista Hamas nos túneis da Faixa de Gaza, após ser brutalmente sequestrado no sul de Israel em 7 de outubro de 2023.

O jovem ficou mundialmente conhecido ao ser filmado em um vídeo de propaganda do Hamas, esquelético, sendo obrigado a cavar o que dizia ser a própria cova, durante o cativeiro.

Em entrevista à CNN na quarta-feira (26), ele relatou a crueldade inimaginável, os abusos e a fome deliberadamente imposta que sofreu durante o confinamento do Hamas. Foi sua primeira entrevista após ser libertado, há um ano.

“Eles tentaram arruinar nossas vidas e as vidas de nossas famílias e, no fim das contas, não conseguiram destruir tudo”, disse David.

Hoje, ele contou que luta contra o transtorno de estresse pós-traumático e outros efeitos psicológicos. “Numa hora posso estar bem e feliz e, na seguinte, me lembrar de algo do cativeiro e ter flashbacks. Acordo à noite com pesadelos, e isso me afeta durante todo o dia seguinte. É algo muito instável e imprevisível”, afirmou.

Finland has become the latest country to sever its funding ties with UNRWA, announcing it will not renew its multi-year €20 million agreement with the UN agency after it expires this year.

Finnish Foreign Trade Minister Ville Tavio - who previously suspended contributions in 2024 after UNRWA employees were found to have participated in the October 7, 2023, massacre - confirmed that Finland's humanitarian contributions to Palestinians will continue, but through other organizations including the World Food Programme. Israel's Foreign Ministry welcomed the decision: "UNRWA is a hotbed of terrorism. It is part of the problem, not part of the solution." Finland joins a growing list of countries that have cut or suspended UNRWA funding following revelations that hundreds of its employees maintained ties to terror groups Hamas and Palestinian Islamic Jihad.
