Netanyahu made a striking comparison when describing the October 7 attack, drawing parallels to both the Holocaust and September 11 to convey the scale and historical significance of the violence. He described October 7 as one of the darkest days in Israel’s history and the deadliest day for Jews since the Holocaust. Then, referencing Israel’s population of about 10 million, he compared the proportional impact of October 7 to 16 September 11 attacks in the United States.

Saudi Arabia and Israel held talks mediated by CENTCOM for Israel intelligence support against the Houthis. Shortly after, media reported Saudi attacks on 5 locations in Yemen. Earlier this week, Saudi Arabia’s East-West pipeline was attacked causing oil prices to surge. With the Strait of Hormuz and the Bab el Mandab maritime chokepoints closed by Iran and Houthis, the East-West pipeline was an attempt to circumvent that by feeding crude into the Red Sea and export through the Suez Canal. Now, that is also shutdown and the Saudis are working with the Israelis. Reporting has long alleged the Saudis worked with the Israelis to encourage the U.S. to start the war on Iran which started this whole situation.

CBS goes undercover to expose the “Pay to Pardon” industry behind the Trump administration’s pardons and clemencies.

CBS isn’t the first or only network to report on this industry. News reports have been published from across the news spectrum for over a year.

Twelve countries just moved to sanction trade from Israeli settlements. The stated reason is illegal settlement growth, the E1 project near Jerusalem and a collapse to a two state solution. This is not a full embargo on Israel. It is a targeted ban on settlement products, with London also preparing measures against firms that finance or build the expansion. Israel spent the run up needling the UK. National Security Minister Itamar Ben Gvir demanded Israel recognize the Falkland Islands as Argentine territory, a British overseas holding whose residents voted almost unanimously to stay British. Other Israeli ministers talked of expelling the UK ambassador and hitting back if London moved first. American officials then piled on. US Ambassador to Israel Mike Huckabee called the plan discrimination and warned of repercussions for British business, including possible action by US states. Florida Representative Randy Fine said companies forced to comply could be shut out of Florida state and local contracts. Western governments that long treated Israel’s illegal settlement expansion as a talking point are now putting it into law, even as Washington and Jerusalem try to make the cost of doing so feel real.

The last time, he caused outrage within the British right, the only segment of the population that is still somewhat supportive of Israel.
