Driving to my plane last night my heart swelled with pride seeing the tens of US Air Force refueling planes parked at Ben Gurion airport. The US does not have a base at Ben Gurion. But when it needs assistance in maintaining and fueling its aircraft, Israel, as America’s best friend, is always willing to help. Israel will always be there for America and its citizens and no amount of Jew-hatred from the far right or far left will change that!

“Schumer used to be Jewish, now he’s a Palestinian.” Metaphorically speaking, I couldn’t have said it better.

Here’s the Houthi drone exploding in the heart of Tel Aviv. Trump had designated the Houthi’s a foreign terrorist organization (FTO). Biden lifted that designation in 2021. In 2024, in response to Houthi terror attacks, Biden designated the Houthis a Specially Designated Global Terrorist group, but did not restore the FTO designation, which is the gold standard for fighting terrorists. Such weakness!

What a joy to celebrate last night with Omri Miran and his family. Omri was held captive by Hamas in Gaza for 738 days. Blessed are you God who frees the captives!

Something you don’t see every day: Lebanese police dragging Iran’s ambassador to Lebanon out of his embassy and, ultimately, out of Lebanon. The ambassador had been expelled from Lebanon but refused to leave. A good development!

Huge crowd exiting the sold out Omer Adam concert last night at MSG, all singing Hebrew songs and waiving Israeli flags. I doubt a single one will vote for Mamdani. Let’s not give up!

Must watch until the end. Concert for the Israeli basketball team before they left for Europe to compete. No wonder they crushed France and Belgium.

I wrote One Jewish State to make the case for Israeli sovereignty based upon the modern convergence of multiple considerations, including faith, human rights, geopolitics and national security. Here is a Muslim scholar who expresses the religious point as well as anyone.

There have been some extraordinary remarks from Israel’s friends in Congress pleading with Joe Biden to reverse his abandonment of Israel. This short speech by Senator Katie Boyd Britt is certainly one of the most moving. Worth a watch.

My remarks at the NRB Convention with President Trump. If I could summarize the essential differences between Trump and Biden regarding Israel, they come down to the following: 1) Unlike Biden, Trump will cut off US funding to, and enforce sanctions on, Israel’s (and America’s) enemies including Hamas, UNRWA, the PA and Iran. 2) Unlike Biden, Trump will not micromanage or handcuff Israel’s self-defense against terrorists. 3) Unlike Biden, Trump will respect Israel’s internal, democratically decided decisions regarding its future.

Thank you ⁦Secretary Kristi Noem⁩ for your solidarity visit to the State of Israel in the aftermath of this week’s terrible terror attack in DC, and for participating, along with Janet and Ambassador Mike Huckabee, in a prayer at the Western Wall for a return of the Hostages.

Fires don’t start naturally from the roots of trees — yet that is exactly where they are originating at this Israeli site. Terrorists are starting fires in the base of these old olive trees. They claim they want to be stewards of the land but all they know how to do is to destroy it.
