The Rishon LeZion, Hagaon HaRav David Yosef, arrived in Brazil yesterday for a brief visit. He began his visit at the Beit Yosef and Beit Yaakov–Safra communities, led by Rabbi Ephraim Laniado and Rabbi David Weitman. A festive reception was held in honor of the Chief Rabbi’s special visit at the home of philanthropist Mr. Alberto Safra, attended by rabbis and distinguished members of São Paulo’s Jewish community.

FORMER JUSTICE MINISTER AYELET SHAKED: According to the results of the election, I think the highest chance for a government is Liberman, Bennett, Eisenkot and the Chareidim. There is a slim chance for a minority government and a slim chance for a unity government. I don't see the Knesset going to another election, so a government in Israel will be established in the next two, three months.

FORMER JUSTICE MINISTER AYELET SHAKED: Hamas made a huge mistake and they should pay in land. Even if the Trump administration or the next administration pushes us to withdraw, we should not withdraw; we should stay on the yellow line forever. In the north we have a security belt that defends us from the Hezbollah terrorists on the border, and we should stay there too.

FREED HOSTAGE AVINATAN OR: A few days before my release, one of the Hamas terrorists came into my cell, told me the deal was signed and advised me to go home, say hello to my parents, pack a bag and leave Israel. He told me that as long as the State of Israel exists, this war between Israel and Hamas will never end. Their goal is one, the destruction of the State of Israel.

DOJ ANTISEMITISM TASK FORCE CHAIR LEO TERRELL: I don't care if you don't like that guy in the White House because of tariffs or the border. On the issue of protecting Jewish Americans and fighting antisemitism, there is no better person in the White House in my lifetime than Donald J. Trump. No question about it.

DOJ ANTISEMITISM TASK FORCE CHAIR LEO TERRELL: There is a Jewish tax in America. You have to pay millions of dollars to protect yourself to go to your shuls and your schools, because Los Angeles, Boston, New York and Chicago are not protecting Jewish Americans. We are going to those neglected cities and bringing federal help, because of President Trump.

DOJ ANTISEMITISM TASK FORCE CHAIR LEO TERRELL: I lose credibility if I don't call out antisemitism on the right and on the left. You got your crazy on the left, and you got the crazy like Tucker Carlson on the right. I have no problem calling him out, because he is an antisemite.

ISRAELI POLITICAL ANALYST AMIT SEGAL: I think Prime Minister Netanyahu's Knesset speech was a grave mistake from a political perspective. At the age of 77 he has no more tricks up his sleeve, he cannot offer jobs to defectors and he cannot form a right-wing coalition. His only card is that he supports a unity government.

ISRAELI POLITICAL ANALYST AMIT SEGAL: IDF Chief of Staff Eyal Zamir truly believes Israel must attack Iran before it becomes a nuclear power or a ballistic superpower. The decision whether to attack Iran will not be taken in a room with Zamir and Prime Minister Netanyahu, but on a phone call between Netanyahu and President Trump. If President Trump wants it to happen, it will happen.

Nvidia is reportedly preparing to replace CEO Jensen Huang following an internal investigation into allegations of inappropriate personal conduct involving company employees, according to The Wall Street Journal. The investigation reportedly involves a senior Nvidia executive, raising concerns within the company about workplace conduct and leadership.

ISRAELI POLITICAL ANALYST AMIT SEGAL: In two years there will probably be a more hostile US president, so Israel must make progress on President Trump's peace plan. I see a train wreck on the horizon, with 92 percent of Israelis opposing a Palestinian state meeting an American train that is losing faith in the two-state solution and even supporting one non-Jewish state between the river and the sea.

UPDATE – FLATBUSH BUILDING COLLAPSE: Emergency crews continue operating at the scene of a building collapse near Foster Avenue and Flatbush Avenue. So far, 10 people have been reported injured, including three with serious injuries. Tragically, two people have been pronounced dead at the scene, including a child. FDNY and other emergency personnel remain on scene as rescue and recovery operations continue.

NYC Councilman Frank Morano (R-Staten Island) is proposing legislation requiring developers to disclose whether new or converted hotel buildings are intended to operate as regular hotels or City-funded homeless shelters before construction permits are issued. Under the proposal, developers planning shelters would have to disclose the expected capacity, population served, and responsible City agency. The Department of Buildings would also be required to notify local elected officials and community boards and make the information publicly available before issuing permits.

Italian authorities ordered the evacuation of hundreds of schools across the country on Wednesday after a wave of identical emails warned that explosives had been planted inside the buildings. More than 300 schools were evacuated, with the largest number in Rome, and as many as 6,300 schools are believed to have received the warning. The emails also claimed a bomb had been placed in Prime Minister Giorgia Meloni's car. Meloni said nothing suggests a concrete danger and that the reports appear linked to a strategy aimed at generating alarm. She called a meeting of ministers for later in the day.

An Israeli-owned ice cream shop in Barcelona was targeted with antisemitic graffiti overnight Tuesday into Wednesday, the latest in a string of hate incidents against the store since the October 7th massacre. Vandals sprayed a message telling Zionists to leave the area across the wall of the Anita gelato branch in the city's Vila de Gràcia neighborhood. The company says the location has been hit repeatedly by antisemitic harassment since October 7th, but the owners say they will not hide the shop's Israeli identity or give in to intimidation. Owner Adi Avital said they are proud of their Israeli roots.

Education Minister Yoav Kisch and Shomron Regional Council head Yossi Dagan have agreed to build a regional elementary school for the renewed Jewish communities of northern Shomron, the first school to go up in the area since the towns there were uprooted in the 2005 Disengagement. It will serve children from Ganim, Kadim and Noa. The school is part of the Reconnection Plan calling for 19 new communities across northern Shomron. Dagan said that after 21 years in which Jews were prevented from living there, everything that was uprooted is being rebuilt, and predicted tens of thousands of residents.

Israeli police and customs investigators arrested several more suspects on Wednesday in a plot to smuggle cigarettes worth some 200 million shekels through Ashdod Port, one of the largest tobacco smuggling operations ever uncovered in Israel. The probe is ongoing and further arrests are expected. The smugglers tried to bring eight containers of cigarettes into the country without paying taxes. Two suspects were arrested last week, including the importer. The Ashdod customs director said there is concern that some of the cigarettes were destined for Gaza for money laundering and terror financing.

Sen. Ted Cruz says his support for President Trump's nominee for ambassador to Somalia depends on the State Department formally recognizing Somaliland as an independent country. He delivered the warning at a Senate Foreign Relations Committee hearing, after nominee Devin Kennington would not promise to press the administration for recognition. Cruz noted that President Trump has called Somaliland a totally different country, and told Kennington his confirmation depends on the State Department following the President's guidance. Israel became the first country to recognize Somaliland, in December 2025.

A former biker gang leader has pleaded guilty to serving as the middleman in the October 2024 firebombing of a Jewish-owned kosher deli in Sydney's Bondi, in an attack Australia's intelligence agency says was likely directed by the Iranian regime. Sayed Moosawi, 35, used the handle James Bond to recruit men for the arson. His recruits first went after the wrong target, and the deli was finally set ablaze on October 20, 2024, causing about one million Australian dollars in damage. Moosawi was arrested in January 2025, and Australia expelled Iran's ambassador in August. Sentencing is set for December 10.

Amazon has unveiled two new Ring security devices, including a $250 indoor security drone that automatically flies through homes to monitor areas traditional cameras cannot reach, and the Ring Rover Cam, an autonomous robot costing approximately $1,000 that patrols commercial properties. The flying camera follows preprogrammed routes when connected sensors or alarms are triggered, while the Rover Cam can investigate disturbances and conduct security patrols. Both devices require compatible Ring subscriptions for full functionality.

Airbnb is developing its own AI-powered travel agent that will eventually allow users to plan and book trips directly through the platform, according to co-founder and Chief Strategy Officer Nathan Blecharczyk. Speaking to Bloomberg, Blecharczyk said the technology is being designed specifically for Airbnb, as the company expands beyond traditional vacation rentals and looks to make artificial intelligence a central part of its travel booking experience.

Billions At Risk: Israel’s Political Deadlock Could Trigger Devastating Cuts To Yeshivos, Kollelim And Chareidi Families

Israel’s ongoing political uncertainty could soon carry a staggering financial price for the Chareidi community, with billions of shekels in government funding potentially at risk if the country fails to approve its 2027 state budget. According to a report by B’Chadrei Chareidim, failure to pass a budget would trigger Israel’s legally mandated temporary spending framework, […]

UNICEF says a Gaza aid group that has openly cheered Hamas and Iranian missile strikes on Israel falsely presented itself as a partner of the agency. A UNICEF representative said it never had any partnership agreement with the Sameer Project or paid for its work, and is asking it to remove the claim. After being questioned, the group and its founder, Hala Sabbah, deleted four posts glorifying Hamas and the Iranian strike on Israel. The group received $300,000 from a Marxist activist who is now fighting a U.S. extradition request over allegations that include laundering money to fund Hamas.

China's ambassador to Israel, Xiao Junzheng, says Beijing considers Israel a friend and an important partner, but he flatly rejected Israeli concerns over China's close relationship with Iran and its heavy footprint in Israel's strategic infrastructure. He insisted China's dealings with Iran are within international law. Israeli officials have grown increasingly critical of the relationship, with Iranian customs data showing some 1,300 shipments of dual-use components going from China to Iran's Defense Ministry in the first half of 2026. Xiao also dismissed security warnings about Chinese-built infrastructure.

Otzma Yehudit MK Tally Gottlieb sharply criticized the unity videos released by Prime Minister Netanyahu and called on him to stop courting Yashar chairman Gadi Eisenkot. She told the Prime Minister not to beg, and said Eisenkot will not agree to serve under him. Gottlieb said Otzma Yehudit intends to appeal the election results over suspected irregularities and will demand a repeat election, or cancellation of results where fraud is proven. She also called the Likud's promise of a broad national government a mistake, since it presented Eisenkot and others as possible partners.

Some of New York City's most severely disabled military veterans will soon owe no property taxes on their homes under legislation the City Council is expected to pass Thursday, part of a veterans' package announced by Council Speaker Julie Menin. The bill would remove property taxes on the homes of veterans who are permanently and totally disabled because of their military service. Its sponsor, Frank Morano, says it would help about 4,500 veteran households and cost the city less than $5 million in lost revenue. A second bill would require annual reporting on veterans applying for Mitchell-Lama apartments.

France is pressing Germany to spell out exactly when and how it would use its new long-range missiles against Russia, warning that a conventional strike Moscow misreads could push Europe over the nuclear edge. Berlin is buying ground-launched missiles able to hit deep inside Russia. French officials fear Moscow could mistake a conventional attack for something far more dangerous, and that Russia could hold France responsible for strikes by allies under its nuclear umbrella. A senior German official said he could not agree more, and that Europe needs a joint understanding of the escalation ladder.

The Israeli government on Wednesday approved the principles of a national program to strengthen Jewish education in North America, backed by 100 million shekels from the state budget. The program was drawn up at the initiative of Prime Minister Netanyahu together with the Jewish Federations of North America. Its goal is to increase the number of children and teens enrolled in Jewish educational frameworks and deepen their Jewish identity and connection to Israel. The Prime Minister's Office tied the need for the program to the rise in antisemitism around the world following the October 7th massacre.

POLITICAL BOMBSHELL: Netanyahu Willing To Abandon Ben Gvir For Unity Deal With Eisenkot

Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu has reportedly sent a message to Yashar chairman Gadi Eisenkot indicating that Likud would be willing to form a national unity government without Itamar Ben Gvir and his Otzma Yehudit party, marking a significant shift from Netanyahu’s commitments to his political allies during the recent election campaign.

Israel Discount Bank announced Wednesday that starting November 26, its customers will be able to trade Bitcoin and Ethereum directly through the bank's mobile app, making it the first Israeli bank set to offer cryptocurrency trading from inside a regular bank account. Customers can buy, hold and sell the coins without an outside exchange or a separate digital wallet. Sale proceeds go straight to the customer's account, and gains and losses can be offset against the rest of the investment portfolio for tax withheld at source. The bank stressed that crypto trading carries a high level of risk.

The Israel Land Authority is on track to end 2026 having marketed land for only about 40,000 housing units, less than half of last year's total and the lowest figure in 13 years. Land for about 92,000 units was marketed last year and some 113,000 units in 2024, a drop of about 65%. Tender committees for residential construction have met only 75 times this year, versus 195 last year, and about 200 tenders meant to be completed this year exist only on paper. Housing Ministry Director General Yehuda Morgenstern predicted the gap would close, though that requires the tenders to be readied quickly.

The United States is negotiating with Lebanon's government over a ceasefire in southern Lebanon that would require Beirut to crack down on the Hezbollah terrorist organization, Lebanese diplomatic sources say. Nothing has been signed. The effort is meant to prevent an escalation that could derail American mediation with Tehran, since Iran has made an end to the fighting on every front one of its conditions. On Wednesday morning, Israeli warplanes struck two towns in southern Lebanon. Hezbollah leader Naim Qassem rejected the American-brokered framework in August, opposing disarmament.

A Chinese university that works closely with the People's Liberation Army bought Nvidia's powerful H200 AI chips last month, even though it has been on a U.S. export blacklist for 25 years. Procurement records show Northwestern Polytechnical University paid about $123,000 for two chips. The university also rented servers running banned Nvidia chips, and other Chinese schools were found buying or renting restricted chips too. The findings come as Nvidia CEO Jensen Huang faces pressure in Washington over his push to loosen chip sales to China, with three Republican chairmen seeking a briefing on November 18.

Russia's FSB announced Wednesday that it uncovered a Polish intelligence network in the Kaliningrad region and arrested two alleged agents on espionage charges. The FSB claims the pair gathered information on Russian servicemen and Defense Ministry facilities. Poland dismissed the announcement as a provocation and disinformation, noting it landed on Poland's Independence Day. The FSB also said seven Polish citizens were barred from entering Russia. The claim comes as Poland has been arresting suspected Russian agents of its own, including six people detained earlier this month.

Iran demanded that the United Nations and the International Atomic Energy Agency condemn a U.S. offer of up to $20 million for information about Tehran's nuclear program. Foreign Minister Abbas Araghchi complained that the offer encourages espionage and endangers Iranian scientists. Araghchi then lashed out at Secretary of State Marco Rubio, who said America's economic campaign is so devastating that there is no need for major combat operations. Araghchi also threatened to rain down hell if Washington chooses war, and said the Strait of Hormuz could reopen within two days if Iran's demands are met.

MK Simcha Rothman has refiled 85 bills as the 26th Knesset opens, about 20 of them aimed at overhauling Israel's legal system and pushing judicial reform forward. They include bills splitting the attorney general's job in two and letting the Knesset override Supreme Court rulings. None is expected to advance until a new government is formed. Rothman said whoever thought the reform was off the agenda is getting an answer today, and vowed to keep advancing it under any government. Eisenkot's Yashar party has filed bills to repeal laws passed by the outgoing coalition.

Attorney General Gali Baharav-Miara will not appear in court in Prime Minister Netanyahu's corruption trial, the prosecution told the Tel Aviv District Court on Wednesday, rejecting the judges' proposal to speak with her directly. Prosecutors said the team in court speaks for her. Prime Minister Netanyahu's attorney, Amit Hadad, countered that the court has full authority to summon her. The judges have hinted that the bribery charge in Case 4000 may not hold up and suggested the prosecution drop it, but she has given the court no position. President Herzog has invited both sides to explore a plea arrangement.

Iran on Wednesday designated Argentina's navy and air force as terrorist organizations, retaliating against President Javier Milei's government for blacklisting the Islamic Revolutionary Guard Corps. Tehran invoked a 2019 law requiring countermeasures against any country backing the American designation. Argentina listed the IRGC after investigations into the 1992 Israeli Embassy bombing and the 1994 AMIA Jewish community center bombing, which killed 114 people. Argentina says senior Iranian officials and IRGC members helped plan the attacks, carried out by Hezbollah terrorists.

Twelve U.S. senators, led by Sen. Chris Van Hollen, are urging congressional leaders to strip three provisions from the 2027 defense bills that would deepen defense technology cooperation and intelligence sharing with Israel. They claim the measures would hand Israel leverage over American weapons systems. The senators also criticize Prime Minister Netanyahu's push to move the relationship from aid to a partnership model, and note that President Trump can already sign new agreements with Israel without a congressional mandate. They want all three sections dropped from the final bill.

Coinbase, the largest cryptocurrency exchange in the United States, has received regulatory approval to establish a nationally chartered trust bank, marking a major step in the company's expansion into traditional financial services.

Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu and Yashar chairman Gadi Eisenkot are scheduled to meet Thursday at the Prime Minister’s Office in Yerushalayim for a security briefing, following a heated exchange over the caretaker government’s authority to launch military operations. Eisenkot called on Netanyahu to avoid non-urgent military action until a new government is formed and requested a legal review by the Attorney General. Netanyahu’s office accused him of politicizing national security, but the two sides subsequently agreed to a direct meeting.

President Donald Trump has reportedly expressed private doubts about his June agreement with Iran, questioning whether it allowed Tehran to rebuild its capabilities and generate oil revenues before the U.S. imposed its naval blockade. Meanwhile, Vice President JD Vance is leading renewed diplomatic efforts and considering a direct meeting with senior Iranian official Mohsen Rezaei, potentially in Qatar. Iran is demanding an end to the blockade, the release of frozen assets, and sanctions relief, while Secretary of State Marco Rubio has called the demands unrealistic. No meeting has been confirmed.

Israeli police have reopened the criminal investigation into the 2021 Meron tragedy, which claimed 45 lives during Lag B’Omer celebrations. Several officials involved in planning and managing the event are expected to be questioned under caution. The investigation was suspended following the establishment of the State Commission of Inquiry, which later identified serious failures and recommended examining potential criminal responsibility. The decision to reopen the case follows years of delays and growing pressure from victims’ families and legal authorities.

🚨🚨DEATH TOLL RISES TO 8: Two people died at the hospital following Wednesday's building collapse in Flatbush, Brooklyn, bringing the death toll to eight.

🚨 TRUMP THREATENS MEXICO: President Trump is warning that tariffs on Mexico will be “IMMEDIATELY DOUBLED” unless the country stops massive migrant caravans reportedly heading toward the U.S. border. Trump also addressed the Republican midterm losses, declaring, “I WAS NOT ON THE BALLOT,” and vowed there would be “no leniency” on illegal immigration. He said Mexico, the new Democratic governor of Texas, Border Patrol, and ICE have all been notified.
