Pennsylvania Voters Approve of Shapiro, Fetterman Pro-Israel Stances, Poll Shows.
 +
By Corey Walker. August 25, 2026.
 +
 +
Pennsylvania voters are broadly comfortable with the pro-Israel positions of two of the state’s most prominent Democratic figures, Gov. Josh Shapiro and US Sen. John Fetterman, according to a new poll that offers a counterpoint to the Democratic Party’s growing divisions over Israel.
 +
 +
Nearly half of likely Pennsylvania voters, 47 percent, said Shapiro’s approach to Israel is “about right,” while 43 percent said Fetterman’s outspoken defense of Israel is also “about right,” according to a New York Times/Philadelphia Inquirer/Siena University poll released on Monday.
 +
 +
Just 14 percent said Shapiro is “too supportive” of Israel, compared with 19 percent who said he is “not supportive enough.” For Fetterman, 30 percent said he is too supportive and 6 percent said he is not supportive enough.
 +
 +
The findings offer a potentially important political boost for Shapiro, a Jewish Democrat who has maintained a strong commitment to the US-Israel relationship while also criticizing Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu and his right-wing governing coalition. Fetterman, meanwhile, has emerged as one of the Democratic Party’s most outspoken defenders of Israel, frequently breaking with members of his own party on the issue.

 +
 +
A working plan is being discussed to facilitate the departure of Palestinian families from Gaza and their reunification with relatives in Europe, according to reports from well-sourced security channels.
 +
 +
Though European Union officials and member states have consistently rejected mass resettlement schemes for Gazans, the reported proposal, which began taking shape around two months ago, envisions an initial framework starting in early 2027 to transfer around 40,000 Palestinians to European countries over several months. Greece, Germany, France, Belgium, the Netherlands, Spain, Italy, and, of course, the United Kingdom are cited among the prospective destinations.

Muslim Brotherhood Builds Expanding Influence Network Across Canada, New Report Finds.
 +
By Ailin Vilches Arguello. Aug 25, 2026.
 +
 +
The Muslim Brotherhood has built an extensive network of organizations, financial structures, and influence operations across Canada while maintaining a carefully managed public image, a new report warns, raising concerns over the transnational Islamist organization’s growing reach into politics, civil society, and academia.
 +
 +
The Institute for the Study of Global Antisemitism and Policy (ISGAP), a US-based research organization focused on antisemitism, extremism, and ideological movements, released a new report on Monday examining Muslim Brotherhood-aligned networks and their growing influence across Canadian politics, civil society, and higher education.
 +
 +
Founded in Egypt in 1928 by schoolteacher Hassan al-Banna, the Muslim Brotherhood seeks to implement Islamic law around the world by any means necessary, embracing both violent terrorism and lawful political activity.

Rudy Giuliani threatens to sue Tucker Carlson in rant over Hunter Biden’s laptop
 +
New York Post | Aug. 25, 2026 | Emily Goodin.
 +
 +
Rudy Giuliani announced he’s suing Tucker Carlson over comments made during his interview with Hunter Biden regarding the origins of the now-infamous “laptop from hell.”
 +
 +
The former mayor charged that, during the interview, Carlson claimed he and President Trump were agents for Israeli Prime Minister Bibi Netanyahu.
 +
 +
“He can go to hell!,” Giuliani told Newsmax in an interview. “I wasn’t an agent for anybody but myself and the United States of America and the man I was representing. That’s been proven 40 times over. I’m gonna sue him! I don’t know what has happened to Tucker Carlson, but if he’s not working for somebody else, he’s doing a good imitation of it.”

US Ambassador Waltz calls Gaza famine claims a ‘blood libel’.
 +
 +
U.S. Ambassador to the United Nations Mike Waltz on Wednesday accused the international community of promoting a “blood libel” against Israel over claims of famine in Gaza.
 +
 +
Waltz cited a report in Free Press about a July 2026 survey that found acute child malnutrition, or wasting, at 0.5%, and said there was no widespread acute malnutrition at the population level.
 +
 +
“Recent data debunks that false narrative,” Waltz said.
 +
 +
The Integrated Food Security Phase Classification, the UN-backed body that assesses famine risk, subsequently said famine conditions had been observed after food security persisted.
 +
 +
The newer findings do not by themselves establish that the 2025 assessment was incorrect, as conditions in Gaza changed substantially after the October 2025 ceasefire.
 +
 +
Ambassador Mike Waltz (@mike_waltz):
 +
 +
“Too many in the international community have peddled this blood libel of famine in Gaza against Israel. Recent data debunks that false narrative. As the Free Press has reported:
 +
 +
‘A researcher who has overseen teams collecting malnutrition data in the Horn of Africa remarked that …’”
 +
 +
The Free Press (@TheFP):
 +
 +
“A year ago, Gaza was officially declared famine-stricken. Now, more recent data paints a drastically different picture—and has triggered a debate over whether the original declaration was correct, writes Olivia Reingold. thefp.com/…”

Israel rejects Guterres’s criticism over former UNRWA compound.
 +
 +
Israel on Wednesday rejected UN Secretary-General Antonio Guterres’s criticism of its takeover of a former UNRWA facility in Kafr Aqab.
 +
 +
Israeli Foreign Ministry spokesman Oren Marmorstein said the agency had no property rights to the site and that it would now be converted into an educational and community complex for local Arab residents.
 +
 +
“You’re simply not telling the truth,” he responded on X to Guterres, who on Tuesday accused Israeli authorities of unlawfully entering and remaining at the Qalandia Training Centre.
 +
 +
The Jerusalem Municipality began work on Tuesday on a complex at the site costing more than 40 million shekels ($13.4 million), which is to include schools, a mosque, sports facilities and healthcare centers.
 +
 +
Oren Marmorstein (@OrenMarmorstein):
 +
 +
“You’re simply not telling the truth (yet again):
 +
 +
UNRWA has never had any property rights in the facility and occupied it unlawfully.
 +
The facility is intended to serve as a school and community center for the Arab children of the Kafr Aqab neighborhood.
 +
You and UNRWA …”..

Israeli soldiers assisted by the Israel Security Agency (Shin Bet) arrested a woman in the Ganot Junction near Tel Aviv on Wednesday. They said that they acted on information that she intended to carry out a stabbing attack.
 +
 +
The suspect was caught with a knife and was transferred to the security forces, authorities said. They didn’t report any injuries.

UK investigates former police chief for ‘gross misconduct’ in banning Israeli fans
 +
By Andrew Bernard. Aug. 26, 2026.
 +
The U.K. police watchdog organization said on Wednesday that the former chief constable of the West Midlands is under investigation for potential “gross misconduct” over his banning of Maccabi Tel Aviv supporters from attending a soccer match in Birmingham in November 2025.
 +
 +
The Independent Office for Police Conduct said that it launched an investigation in January into former chief constable Craig Guilford, three West Midlands police officers and a staff member, after they barred the Israeli fans from attending over alleged safety concerns.
 +
 +
“Evidence presently available indicates Mr. Guildford may have had oversight on an intelligence briefing document presented to the Safety Advisory Group that was later reported to have contained inaccuracies and misleading information,” the office stated. “We consider Mr. Guildford may have failed to ensure due diligence and the highest level of scrutiny over such an influential document.”
 +
 +
The ban provoked a political furor in the United Kingdom after it was revealed that the ban was based in part on misattributing blame for antisemitic and anti-Israel attacks on Maccabi Tel Aviv fans in Amsterdam in 2024 to the fans themselves, and that it may have underplayed the threat to Maccabi Tel Aviv fans from residents of Birmingham willing to attack Israelis.
 +
 +
The ban prompted a parliamentary investigation that concluded that Guilford’s report was based on false, AI-generated information.
 +
 +
Guilford retired in January after the government declared it had lost confidence in him.

US watching developments at Al al-Taner Ridge, envoy to Beirut says.
 +
 +
The United States is waiting to see what unfolds over the next two days at the Al al-Taher Ridge in southern Lebanon, US Ambassador to Lebanon Michel Issa said on Wednesday, according to Lebanon’s MTV television network.
 +
 +
Issa spoke after meeting Grand Mufti Sheikh Abdul Latif Derian, the highest religious leader of Lebanon’s Sunni Muslims. He said the two discussed Lebanon’s future and “the importance of coexistence,” and told the mufti that Washington “stands with the Lebanese people” and wants the country to be safe and independent.
 +
 +
Issa said the “model areas” were making progress, adding that everything agreed upon takes time to achieve. He was referring to the pilot zones set out under the June 26 framework agreement between Israel and Lebanon, under which the Lebanese Armed Forces deploy as Israeli troops withdraw.
 +
 +
The ridge sits above an extensive Hezbollah tunnel complex stretching more than a kilometer underground. The site served as a command-and-control center and housed weapons depots and rocket-launching facilities.
 +
 +
Several dozen Hezbollah terrorists are believed to remain trapped in the tunnels beneath the ridge. The Iranian-backed terror group claims it has resupplied them by drone and through newly dug shafts.

IDF dismantles Hamas ambush position near Gaza hospital, school.
 +
The Israel Defense Forces struck and dismantled a structure in Jabalia on Tuesday that was used by Hamas as an ambush position and weapons-storage site, killing several terrorists.
 +
 +
The position was about 50 meters from the Al-Nasr Line, 70 meters from Kamal Adwan Hospital and 70 meters from a school, according to the IDF. The Yellow Line is the position Israeli forces withdrew to under the Gaza ceasefire.
 +
 +
The military said Hamas terrorists had been using the structure to plan attacks against Israeli troops and rebuild their terrorist organization’s military capabilities.

IRGC says deal reached with Oman to split Hormuz revenues.
 +
 +
Iran and Oman have reached an agreement setting each country’s share of the Strait of Hormuz’s waters and of the revenues from it, a spokesman for the Islamic Revolutionary Guard Corps said on Wednesday, according to the IRGC-affiliated Tasnim News Agency.
 +
 +
Brig. Gen. Hossein Mohebbi said talks with Muscat began about a month ago and produced results acceptable to both sides. The strait belongs to Iran and Oman, he claimed.
 +
 +
Mohebbi said Tehran could reopen the waterway within that framework if the United States drops what he called its “obstruction” and returns to its memorandum of understanding with Iran.
 +
 +
The strait will not open under any circumstances unless Washington accepts the Islamic Republic’s conditions, he added.
