*🇺🇸 - Blakeman Calls Out Mamdani Over October 7 Statement* Nassau County Executive Bruce Blakeman used a speech at the Congress of Bukharian Jews to go after Mayor Zohran Mamdani’s statement marking three years since October 7. Blakeman said Mamdani drew a moral equivalence between the Hamas attack and “the Palestinian cause.” He told the room that only the governor can stop the mayor, and that Kathy Hochul is not doing it. He said she endorsed Mamdani and has been campaigning with him. Mamdani’s statement, posted today, opened by calling October 7 “horrific war crimes,” noting Hamas killed more than 1,100 Israelis and abducted 251 others. Most of the statement then accused Israel of an “ongoing genocide,” occupation, and apartheid, and said New York tax dollars are funding “war crimes.” Blakeman, wearing a kippah at the podium, said he was speaking as a father and grandfather. “I am going to fight for my children and my grandchildren. I am going to fight for your children and your grandchildren.”

*🇺🇸🇮🇱 - Israeli Ambassador Says October 7 Is Being Hijacked In New York* Israeli Ambassador to the U.N. Danny Danon said protesters in New York are trying to hijack October 7 instead of condemning Hamas. He spoke on Fox News as crowds gathered in the city tonight with Palestinian flags and “Free Palestine” banners. “Instead of actually condemning Hamas, condemning the atrocities, they go back to the same allegations, blood libel, same lies,” Danon said. He added that the demonstrators are “attacking our values” and are “against the values we represent.” The comments came as Jewish communities marked three years since the October 7 massacre.

*🇺🇸 - Speaker Menin Pushes Back On Mamdani At October 7 Memorial* City Council Speaker Julie Menin used a UJA-Federation October 7 memorial tonight to push back on Mayor Zohran Mamdani’s anniversary post. The remarks, shared by Met Council CEO David Greenfield, came from a podium marked UJA and the Museum of Jewish Heritage. Earlier Wednesday, Mamdani called October 7 “horrific war crimes,” noting Hamas killed more than 1,100 Israelis and abducted 251 people. Most of the statement then accused Israel of an “ongoing genocide” and “apartheid,” and said U.S. tax dollars “fund these war crimes.” UJA-Federation answered that the mayor met Jewish New Yorkers’ grief with “false and inflammatory attacks against Israel,” and said the post is “placing Jewish New Yorkers at risk.” Menin had already said the day should stay on the more than 1,200 people murdered by Hamas and the 251 taken hostage. “This is a very difficult day for the Jewish community.”

*🇸🇾 - Syria Weighs Sending Troops to Fight Houthis in Yemen* Syria is considering a request from Saudi Arabia to deploy between 10,000 and 20,000 soldiers to Yemen to support operations against Houthi forces. Three United States officials told Axios that Crown Prince Mohammed bin Salman raised the idea with Syrian President Ahmed al Sharaa during talks in Riyadh this week, and one official said al Sharaa is highly likely to agree. One unit under review is the 84th Division, which includes thousands of Islamist foreign fighters who took part in the campaign that removed Bashar al Assad. These forces would face Zaydi Shiite Houthi fighters. Washington has not opposed the plan, and United States Central Command has been consulted on deployment arrangements. Turkish and Pakistani forces are also moving toward Saudi Arabia as the conflict in Yemen continues.

*🇺🇸 - Trump Says FBI Tracked Melania And Barron Before Mar-a-Lago Search* President Trump is blasting the Biden-era Justice Department after newly released records show the FBI tracked his family’s travel ahead of the 2022 Mar-a-Lago search. “They were tracking my wife, my son, who was a minor,” Trump said. He called it a “disgrace” and accused then-Attorney General Merrick Garland of weaponizing the government against him and people around him. The records, released by the White House this week, come from an investigation code-named Plasmic Echo. Planning notes from May 2022 told agents to lock down travel details for Trump, Melania, and their son Barron, including the type of aircraft and the timeline, before the Aug. 8 search of the Palm Beach estate. The same files show the FBI later logged phone metadata for Susie Wiles, now White House chief of staff, including calls with lawyers and campaign contacts. Trump said the material only recently came out, and that it shows “what we went through.”

*🇬🇧 - Met Police Accused Of Stopping Pro-Israel Supporters On October 7* Pro-Israel supporters in central London say officers stopped them and threatened them with arrest today, on the third anniversary of the Hamas attack. Sussex Friends of Israel shared footage from the scene, filmed as a student pro-Palestine march moved through the city. Israeli flags are visible behind the group as officers stand with them and a woman speaks to cameras. The group said the Met allowed the march to go ahead on October 7, then turned on people who came out in support of Israel. The student march, from Lincoln’s Inn Fields toward Russell Square, went ahead under police conditions. Face coverings were banned, and the Met had warned that “intifada” chants would lead to arrests. Separately, five people were arrested this morning outside the Board of Deputies of British Jews in Camden on suspicion of inciting racial hatred. Police said the arrests followed alleged “intifada” chants at a spontaneous protest. A Board of Deputies vigil is set for later today at Richmond Terrace, near Whitehall.

*🇮🇱 - Israeli Commandos Found Shabbat Challah Waiting On A Kfar Aza Table* After clearing Kfar Aza of Hamas terrorists, a team of Israeli commandos entered a family’s home and found fresh challah rolls set out on the table, waiting for Shabbat morning. One of the soldiers broke down in tears. The family was never going to sit down together and eat them. That was October 7, 2023. Three years later, the image is still one of the clearest pictures of how the day began. More than 1,200 Israelis were killed in the coordinated assault. Families were murdered in their homes, at a music festival, and on the roads. Hostages were taken into Gaza. The war that followed is still shaping daily life for Israelis and for Jewish communities watching from here. The challah on that table is a reminder of what was already prepared, and of who never made it back to the meal.
