IDF Chief of Staff Lt. Gen. Eyal Zamir warned that Israel must always be prepared for a surprise war, drawing a direct lesson from the failures of the Yom Kippur War and October 7. “Two painful shortcomings, two failures, with a connecting thread between them,” Zamir said during an exercise of the IDF’s new 38th Division. “Reality is constantly sending us signals, and it is our duty to identify those signals, listen to them and constantly adapt.”

The funds are expected to provide initial payments of about $3,000 per family, with some 50,000 families prioritized. The money was transferred through intermediaries who charged roughly four times their normal fees due to the heightened risks of moving Iranian funds to Hezbollah.

MAMDANI FOUND HIS TWIN: London Mayor Sadiq Khan marked the third anniversary of the October 7 massacre much like NYC Mayor Zohran Mamdani did: beginning with words for the victims of Hamas, before pivoting to the suffering of Palestinians and criticism of the Israeli government. No, Mayor Khan. Today is not the day. October 7 is the day to remember the 1,200 people slaughtered by Hamas terrorists, the 251 people dragged into Gaza, the families burned alive in their homes, and the communities devastated by the massacre. Today belongs to the victims of October 7. Period. Hard stop.

A senior Iranian official told Reuters that Washington’s demands on Tehran’s nuclear program are incompatible with Iran’s position, responding to Vice President JD Vance’s call for Iran to significantly reduce its uranium enrichment capacity. The official said no U.S.-Iran nuclear negotiations have taken place and insisted Washington must first meet Tehran’s conditions. Iran’s claimed right to enrich uranium remains a “red line” and will not be surrendered, though Tehran says the level and details of enrichment could eventually be negotiated.

The White House marked three years since the October 7 massacre, remembering “the innocent lives taken by Hamas terrorists” and reaffirming the Trump administration’s commitment to confronting terrorism and bringing hostages home. “America will always stand as a beacon of freedom, defending our allies and values around the world,” the White House said, sharing a photo of President Trump with former Israeli hostages and their families.

The IDF eliminated two Hamas terrorists after they emerged from Kamal Adwan Hospital in northern Gaza, including one who planted explosives taken from inside the hospital near the Yellow Line in an attempt to target Israeli troops. One of those eliminated, Muhammad Tammous, was a Hamas military-wing sniper who also operated as a Gaza civil defense worker. The IDF says Hamas terrorists have recently been using the hospital to plan attacks and rebuild the terror group’s capabilities in violation of the ceasefire.

A VOICE OF MORAL CLARITY: U.S. Ambassador to Israel Mike Huckabee blasted NYC Mayor Zohran Mamdani’s October 7 statement as an “outrageous & disgusting rant,” saying the anniversary should honor the more than 1,200 people butchered by Hamas terrorists, including 46 Americans. Huckabee compared Mamdani’s remarks to using the anniversary of 9/11 to condemn America’s response to the terror attacks, and forcefully rejected his genocide accusation against Israel. “An apology for his obtuse and utterly ignorant remarks are not enough,” Huckabee wrote.

The U.S. State Department approved three potential arms sales to Egypt, the UAE and Kuwait worth a combined $2.27 billion.

The Trump administration is reluctant to deepen U.S. involvement in Saudi Arabia’s offensive against the Houthis and has sought to discourage Riyadh from triggering a wider war in Yemen, Bloomberg reports. Washington continues providing Saudi Arabia with intelligence, targeting support and aerial refueling but has stopped short of carrying out offensive strikes. President Trump reportedly sees no clear path to success after last year’s Operation Rough Rider failed to achieve its objectives against the Houthis, prompting Riyadh to seek additional countries to join its campaign, so far without success.

On October 7, the anniversary of Hamas’ barbaric massacre of Jews, terrorist sympathizers at Qatar-funded Columbia University are chanting for an intifada. They couldn't find a better day to openly demonstrate their support for terror. Also seen in the video are Neturei Karta terrorist sympathizers dressed in traditional Jewish garb, joining the disgraceful demonstration.

A powerful tribute at Columbia University on October 7, marking the third anniversary of the Hamas massacre. Hundreds of empty chairs were arranged across the campus, each bearing the photograph of a victim of the October 7 terror attack. Organized by Columbia and Barnard Jewish students and Hillel, the moving display honored the lives brutally taken by Hamas and sent a powerful message that the victims will never be forgotten.

DISGRACEFUL AT COLUMBIA: On October 7, the third anniversary of Hamas’ horrific massacre of Jews, a Columbia University dining station displayed a menu offering “October 7th Blush Sauce” at its pasta station. Blush sauce is already a regular menu item listed by Columbia Dining, with no date attached to its name. Yet on the anniversary of the deadliest massacre of Jews since the Holocaust, the words “October 7th” appeared before it. There is no apparent culinary reason for the addition, and whether deliberate or not, the timing is deeply disturbing. Columbia University owes the Jewish community an explanation.

Secretary of State Marco Rubio on Iran: The Iranian economy is about to reach a place that few countries in the world have been in terms of how bad it's going to get. And it's all the fault of the radical Shia clerics that make the decisions in that country...

Secretary of State Marco Rubio on Iran: Every dollar and every penny that that regime gets, they don’t spend it on roads or bridges or helping improve the lives of the Iranian people. They spend that money on Hezbollah and Hamas and militias that fire rockets out of Iraq and the Houthis... They’ll never have a nuclear weapon.

Saudi Arabia and Syria are discussing the deployment of up to 20,000 Syrian troops to Yemen to reinforce the Saudi-backed offensive against the Houthis, Axios reports. Syrian President Ahmed al-Sharaa is seriously considering the request, with U.S. officials expecting him to approve it. The Trump administration does not oppose the proposal, viewing it as a way to strengthen the offensive without significantly expanding direct U.S. involvement. CENTCOM has been consulted, while officials have raised concerns that some Syrian units include thousands of Islamist fighters, potentially adding a sectarian dimension to the war.

U.S. Ambassador to Israel Mike Huckabee blasted NYC Mayor Zohran Mamdani over his October 7 statement, calling his remarks “absurd” and “utterly false.” “I am seething over his comments,” Huckabee said, firmly rejecting accusations of genocide, apartheid and occupation against Israel. He defended Israel’s military response to Hamas’ October 7 massacre, saying Israel had properly responded to the brutal slaughter of civilians.

U.S. Ambassador to Israel Mike Huckabee says Hamas is solely responsible for delays in implementing President Trump’s Gaza peace plan, accusing the terrorist group of completely failing to fulfill its commitment to disarm. “President Trump has put together a very solid plan,” Huckabee said, pointing to the establishment of the Board of Peace. “You know how many bullets they’ve given up? None. Bombs? None. How many rifles and pistols? Zero.”

The Flydubai co-pilot who attempted to crash a Tel Aviv-bound flight planned the terrorist attack for months and nearly carried it out in July, according to The Wall Street Journal. Omani national Hamam al-Hammami deliberately sought flights to Israel, intending to incapacitate the captain and crash the plane into Ben Gurion Airport or another target. He abandoned his July attempt because he cared about a crew member aboard. During the later attack, he struck the captain with an axe and sent the aircraft into a dive before passengers and crew regained control.

Newly obtained video shows devastating Iranian attacks on Camp Buehring, a major U.S. military base in Kuwait, during the opening days of the Iran war, CBS News reports. Iranian ballistic missiles, drones and fighter jets struck the base, with American soldiers describing it as “completely destroyed.” Most of the roughly 7,000 troops had been evacuated beforehand, but more than 100 remained. Defenders reportedly ran dangerously low on ammunition, forcing troops to abandon the base. “It was horrible. There were a lot of brave guys who stayed to fight there — and people at home don't know what happened,” one source said.

What is happening in New York City? Absolutely disgraceful scenes as furious anti-Israel protesters disrupted an October 7 vigil, even turning on Zohran Mamdani, delaying the event by approximately 40 minutes. As Brad Lander read testimony from an Israeli victim of the October 7 Hamas massacre, protesters shouted “traitor” and chanted “We don’t want no two-state, we want ’48,” a reference to 1948, the year Israel was established, and a rejection of Israel’s existence as a Jewish state. Even Mamdani, one of Israel’s most outspoken critics, found himself targeted by the demonstrators.

Berlin’s iconic Brandenburg Gate, once draped in Nazi swastika flags under Adolf Hitler ym”s, is illuminated in the blue and white of the Israeli flag in a powerful display of solidarity with Israel on the anniversary of the October 7 massacre.
