Turkish Foreign Minister Hakan Fidan on Mecca Pact: I also want to state that the cheap political rhetoric that occasionally surfaces here does not match reality. On the ground in Yemen, the legitimate government forces are continuing their existing struggle. Saudi Arabia supports them, but on the other hand, we are also doing everything we can to resolve this through peace and dialogue. Saudi Arabia has constructive support in this regard, and this is what it is called. A defense agreement means that when a country that is party to this agreement comes under attack, you stand by them for their defense. This is not an attack agreement. Türkiye is not going to send its troops to another country's territory and launch an attack there. It is a defense agreement.

Hamas, a chapter of the Muslim Brotherhood, murdered 47 Americans on October 7th, three years ago, along with the Israelis they slaughtered that day. President Trump liberated all the surviving American hostages held by the barbarians. Along with so many others held around the World. Hear the amazing details tonight with @gregkellyusa. @NEWSMAX 940pmET @WhiteHouse

🚫 CLAIM: Earlier today, a general from Iran's Islamic Revolutionary Guard Corps claimed in media reports that "the Strait of Hormuz is closed" and his country has "full control over it." This is FALSE. ✅ FACT: Traffic is flowing through the Strait of Hormuz right now carrying commercial goods and energy supplies, including 20 million barrels of crude oil. The United States and regional partners clearly control the strait.

I have to take a moment from my son’s bedside, on life support after being struck by a Palestinian terrorist, to respond to the dangerous lies being spewed by @NYCMayor. It’s actually hard to find a sentence in Mamdani’s post that isn’t a lie. Paying lip service to the victims of October 7 just to spread blood libels about Israel might play nicely to the red-green/communist-Islamist alliance that he promotes in the U.S, but those of us who know better see his perverted language for what it is. This man is a defender of Palestinian terrorism, a promoter of antisemitism, and an advocate of anti-Americanism. Even today, October 7, he can’t help but attack the Jewish state with absurd accusations and outright propaganda. Let’s be clear: the only attempted genocide in this conflict was perpetrated by the barbarians he supports, Hamas, who butchered, raped, and murdered in the most horrific ways imaginable. There is no genocide, ethnic cleansing, or famine in Gaza. Hamas embeds itself among, behind, and beneath the people of Gaza, knowing that the IDF will not, ever, intentionally target civilians. It robs its own people of the humanitarian aid that Israel has facilitated into Gaza since the war began. Hamas knows that its allies, including Zohran Mamdani, will regurgitate its lies, demonizing Israel and endangering Jews everywhere. Israel and its allies will not be deterred from defending civilization against terrorist savagery. Those of us who envision a peaceful and prosperous Middle East, will root out the evil that is Islamic terrorism and build a better future for all, Jew and Arab alike. If you want to understand the extent of the lies told by Mamdani and his radical Islamic commrades, you can read the truth in my book, “Manufacturing a Modern Blood Libel,” here: linktr.ee/israelinusa.

Israel has a right to take a stand against the terrorist threats it faces. We do not want another October 7th to happen where we saw thousands of innocent people killed.

Three years ago, Hamas terrorists murdered, raped, and kidnapped more than 1,000 innocent Israelis and Americans. 
 Today, we remember those killed and honor the brave men and women who fought back.

Three years ago over 1,000 Jews (including 49 Americans) were brutally murdered in Israel in one of the worst Islamic terrorist attacks of our lives. May their memory be a blessing.

.@POTUS on the anniversary of October 7, 2023: "I spoke with Bibi Netanyahu and I wished him well and I wished the people of Israel well. That was a horrible day, a horrible tragedy — and the other side is paying a very big price for what they did on October 7th, believe me."

On the 3 year mark of Hamas’ atrocities, I am reupping a thread I wrote a few months after the attack. Israeli Defense Minister Katz recently said ~6,000 terrorists crossed the border that day; of those, 4,000 have been killed so far.
1/13 Having just spent a week in Israel, I offer a few thoughts As graphic as the internet images of the Oct. 7 attack are, one cannot truly appreciate the depravity of those who assaulted Israel without seeing it firsthand Seen many bad things in my life, but nothing like this

Three years after October 7, the world seems to have forgotten how we got here. Gaza is devastated. The Middle East is in turmoil. Antisemitism has surged. Israel faces boycotts, condemnation, and growing international isolation. But what started this war? On October 7, 2023, Hamas terrorists invaded Israel, murdered more than 1,200 people, and took more than 250 hostages. And Hamas remains committed to its cause. Just last week, the Justice Department announced arrests and charges involving an alleged international Hamas financing network that raised more than $1.7 million, some of it from Americans, under the guise of providing humanitarian aid to Gaza. Think about that. Three years after Hamas unleashed this horror, money is still being funneled to the terrorist organization while Israel is increasingly blamed for the consequences of the war Hamas started. We should be concerned for ALL innocent people who are suffering, including Palestinians. But compassion must not require historical amnesia. Israel did not start a war with Gaza. A terrorist organization ruling Gaza started a war with Israel. The world may want to forget how we got here. We must not.

Just last week, radical Islamists screamed “takfir” in Times Square. What message are they sending America? Events in Paris may seem distant, but don’t be deceived. The threat is inside the United States.

Hello haters. Another Jewish Nobel laureate. French chemist Henri B. Kagan has just won the 2026 Nobel Prize in Chemistry. Jews account for roughly 22% of individual Nobel laureates, while Jews make up only about 0.2% of the world’s population.

Hamas is evil. Hezbollah is evil. The Houthis are evil. The regime in Iran is evil. If October 7 didn’t give you moral clarity, you’re morally bankrupt. You don’t have to agree with every decision made by the U.S. or Israel to recognize a basic truth: free nations must defend themselves against enemies who seek their destruction. October 7 revealed who is brave and who is cowardly. Who will defend us from the Islamist barbarians at the gate and who will make common cause with them.

Over 75 senior retired 🇺🇸U.S. generals, admirals, and military lawyers have signed a new open letter rejecting claims that Israel committed genocide in Gaza. The signatories include those who have commanded U.S. armed forces in combat, applying the laws of armed conflict. Their conclusion: based on the facts and applicable legal standard, the conduct of Israel’s war against Hamas does not constitute genocide. As the letter states, “Civilian deaths occurring during combat, however tragic, are insufficient, by themselves, to support a finding of genocidal intent.” The standards used to judge military conduct matter precisely because war is tragic and imperfect. “The precedent established today regarding Israel will shape the conditions under which American forces fight tomorrow. Protecting civilians and preserving the ability of our nation to defend itself requires us to defend the truth when the laws of war are being distorted to make false charges of genocide.” This is not an argument for minimizing the suffering of civilians. It is an argument for applying the law faithfully and maintaining the distinctions that matter: between the tragic consequences of war, violations of the laws of armed conflict, and the specific crime of genocide. Read the full open letter here: jinsa.org/open-letter-from-m…

I’m thankful for the group of retired military leaders and legal experts, many of whom I’m privileged to call friends, who stand-up against this evil defamation against the state of Israel. @RobertKennedyJr said it succinctly, “The Muslim Brotherhood's Qatari funded global propaganda campaign makes Joseph Goebbels look like a piker.” We cannot and won’t stand idly by while these deceiving demons rage rampant. The day of reckoning will undoubtedly come - sooner than they realize.
Breaking: "As retired senior military leaders and legal experts, on this, the third anniversary of Hamas's October 7, 2023 brutal attack on Israel, we reject claims that Israel committed genocide in Gaza." @jinsadc I am honored to be a part of 76 retired U.S. officers (including 13 Generals, 27 Lieutenant Generals, 19 Major Generals, 5 Brigadier Generals) Refuting the Genocide Allegation Against Israel. jinsa.org/wp-content/uploads… "The precedent established today regarding Israel will shape the conditions under which American forces fight tomorrow.
