Houthi terrorists launch new Iranian-style intel agency to tighten grip – led by a shadowy figure trained abroad.

The former governor, visibly wearing a yellow ribbon often used to symbolize support for hostages, praised Donald Trump for having the "moral clarity to recognize Jerusalem as Israel's eternal capital." He added that while "58 hostages are still being held captive in the dungeons of Gaza, I want the people of Israel to know that America stands with you."

After a delay in the launch of a new humanitarian aid initiative for Gaza, and amid disturbing footage of looting, senior Israeli political officials now claim the new framework will begin operating as early as Monday.

Then-Chief of Staff Herzi Halevi told Netanyahu rescuing October 7 hostages was 'impossible' in war's first hours for fear that residents would lynch them.

The New York Times found that initial discussions of the plan's framework occurred in late 2023 during private gatherings of aligned officials, military officers and business figures with strong Israeli government connections.

The model includes taking control of most of the Gaza Strip within three months. Five divisions will participate: four offensive and one defensive, with flexibility to pause operations for a potential hostage deal. 

The Palestinian Islamic Jihad terrorist organization claimed it was behind "the barrage launched toward Ashdod and Ashkelon." The IDF' Arabic-language spokesperson issued a warning to residents of northern Gaza, stating: "The IDF will strike with great force any area from which rockets are launched."

In a rare press conference, Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu has taken questions from the press for the first time since December. “There are 20 hostages alive and 38 dead,” Netanyahu said. “We are prepared for a temporary ceasefire.”

Court finds procedural flaws, conflict of interest, and lack of factual basis in decision-making process to terminate Ronen Bar. Although the decision was struck down, the government was not instructed to remedy the situation since Bar announced his resignation, which will take effect in June.

The erroneous statement, which first aired on BBC Radio 4's Today program, subsequently spread across international media outlets and even reached parliamentary discussions.
