As an author, dual US-Israeli citizen & an Evangelical, I’m grateful for the opportunity to meet w/various Middle Eastern leaders—from Jordan’s King Abdullah II to Egyptian President el-Sisi to UAE Crown Prince MBZ to Saudi Crown Prince MBS—to discuss peace and religious freedom.

“Following a series of violent attacks by Jewish Israelis against Palestinian civilians in Judea and Samaria, Israel's president @Isaac_Herzog condemned “vigilante violence” by radical settler activists while visiting the IDF’s Judea and Samaria Division on Wednesday.” “The attempt failed amid violent clashes that left three officers lightly wounded.” “A series of violent incidents in recent months has drawn unusually sharp criticism from Israel’s allies, including the United States.”

Hero pilot Captain Smit in his first public comments: “I was not going to let others die” Smit recounts opening cockpit door with “one last push” in a video call with Indian Prime Minister Narendra Modi. “I have been flying for the last 17 years, have been a captain for the last 11 years. I knew that the aircraft was going down.”

Smit Machchhar, the FlyDubai captain attacked by his co-pilot on a Wednesday flight to Israel, says his faith gave him the courage to seize what he believed to be a last chance to save himself and the 173 other people on board the plane. cbsn.ws/4ytkzcf

🇦🇪 The Flydubai co-pilot's employment history is getting very interesting. According to Royal Air Maroc, Hammam al-Hamami never worked for the airline as a pilot, despite claiming otherwise on his now-deleted LinkedIn profile. He completed three months of theoretical training in 2025, but the airline rejected his application. There are also reports that Oman Air previously removed him from flying duties after discovering extremist material. The more details emerge about this guy's background, the more questions there are about how he ended up in that cockpit. Source: AP / Writer: Lynn

I urge Evangelical Christians around the world to keep praying without ceasing for the Lord to save and completely heal Neriyah Leiter who was terribly wounded by a Palestinian terrorist. He is the son of @yechielleiter, Israel’s Ambassador to the U.S. and a friend of mine.

JD Vance just delivered the single greatest on-air warning to America of what will happen if Democrats take power “They don't just want to enact bad policy. They actually want to make it so that Republicans can never win another national election.” -They want voter fraud. -They want to destroy the foundations of American constitutional republicanism. -They're trying to abolish the institutions of American government. They have already told us they want to pack the Supreme Court and restart mass immigration. If they achieve this, we will lose the country. This is about radicalism versus common sense. Well said, @JDVance

🚨 NOW: MI Senate candidate Mike Rogers just DROPPED this devastating ad where young Iman RIPS Abdul El Sayed for siding with the IRGC and Muslim brotherhood — despite his family being HUNTED by the Islamists “They deserve someone who stands up to the IRGC, not someone who defends it!” 🔥 Abdul looked this young man in the eyes and REFUSED to denounce Iranian terrorism He’s more focused on courting the Islamist vote and it’s disgusting. VOTE MIKE ROGERS!

BREAKING: Jewish leaders in Michigan say they expect large portions of the state’s Jewish community to vote against Abdul El-Sayed. 500,000 Jews live in Michigan.

Only Israelis could have pulled this off.

When it seemed impossible for Toxic Tucker to descend deeper into the sewer here he goes opining that UK should have let Nazis take over. Forget that Hitler murdered 11 million people? I thought Tucker was against killing? He needs help. Serious help.

Pilot Smit Machchar, speaking with Indian Prime Minister Narendra Modi from a hospital in the UAE: "I feel an immense sense of pride. At that moment, I was fighting for my life, but I realized that if I didn't get up and act – after being seriously injured and lying on the floor – no one else would. I've been flying planes for 17 years and have been a captain for the last 11 years, and I know what's happening on the plane, even with my eyes closed. I knew that only one more push was needed to open the door. Despite my injuries, I opened it, and the rest of the crew came in and did their part. I knew I couldn't let the passengers die."

"This is Hollywood on steroids... ordinary civilians became superheroes" Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu explains to @foxandfriends the unbelievable heroism of the people who took down the would be hijacker.

I asked Israeli Meital Hayoun, wife of Yaniv the Israeli hero whose courageous action saved 170 ppl on flight who should play her husband in the movie. "Tom Cruise" was answer. I asked him who should play her. He said "The most beautiful woman in world." SMART & HEROIC!

Today I had the privilege of thanking the hero Yaniv Hayoun for his courageous actions saving a plane full of souls onboard FlyDubai FZ1073. As a small token of gratitude, I gifted him a hat signed by our favorite @POTUS @realDonaldTrump. On behalf of President Trump and the American people, thank you Yaniv! God bless you and your family.

There's no excuse for ignoring this anymore and pretending he's not doing what he's so obviously and consistently doing.

From his hospital bed in Abu Dhabi, Indian pilot Captain Smit Machchhar, 38, who's being hailed for his heroism on Flight 1073, told Indian Prime Minister Narendra Modi via video call how he had been in a fight for his life on the plane. on.wsj.com/4hYbaDE

"We are not people who take lives, we are people who save lives." ​Echoing the powerful words of PM @narendramodi. The Embassy of Israel in the UAE salutes Captain Smit Machchhar for his extraordinary bravery. ​True heroism and the sanctity of life know no borders. We wish Captain Smit "Refuah Shlemah" (רפואה שלמה) — the traditional Jewish prayer for a complete and speedy recovery. 🇮🇳🇮🇱🇦🇪

IDF says eliminated Hamas commander oversaw captivity of at least 15 Israeli hostages The Hamas commander of the Northern Gaza Brigade who was eliminated earlier this week oversaw the captivity of Israeli hostages during the war, the IDF announced on Friday. Izz al-Din Bik commanded and participated in the October 7 massacre and was responsible for holding at least 15 hostages throughout the war, including Mia Schem, Hisham al-Sayed, Amit Buskila, Uriel Baruch, Cpl. Nik Beizer, Sgt. Ron Sherman, Elia Toledano, Shani Louk, Michel Nisenbaum, Staff Sgt. Tamir Nimrodi, Yitzhak Gelerenter, Eitan Levy, Hanan Yablonka, Ron Benjamin, and Orion Hernandez. The IDF also said Bik held several senior positions in Hamas, including commander of its Western Jabalia Battalion and head of the Northern Gaza Brigade’s military intelligence headquarters, roles in which he advanced and financed attacks against Israeli civilians. “The elimination of the terrorist Izz al-Din Bik marks an important moment of closure for the IDF and ISA, which will continue to act decisively against the terrorists who took part in the October 7th Massacre,” the statement said.

Thanks @LauraLoomer for posting the video!
