Israel destroys Houthis’ final aircraft in strike on Saana airport.
 +
By Yonah Jeremy Bob, Jerusalem Post, May 28, 2025.
 +
 +
The IDF on Wednesday attacked Yemen’s Sanaa International Airport in response to several Houthi ballistic missile attacks fired against Israel over the last week.
 +
 +
Defense Minister Israel Katz said the air force destroyed the last airplane the Houthis still had to use at the airport after Israel had already struck it multiple times in the past several months.
 +
 +
Katz continued, saying that Israel had or was in the process of instituting an aerial and naval blockade on the Houthis to try to deter them from future attacks on the Jewish state..

Netanyahu: Designate Arab criminal rings as terrorist organizations.
 +
A senior Shin Bet official warned that Arab crime "has reached the level of a security threat."
 +
JNS Staff.
 +
 +
(May 30, 2025 / JNS)
 +
Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu is seeking to designate Arab criminal organizations as terrorist groups.
 +
 +
“The murderous criminal organizations pose an existential threat to the State of Israel,” Channel 12 cited Netanyahu as telling the Ministerial Subcommittee on Advancing the Fight against Crime in the Arab Sector on Thursday.
 +
 +
The prime minister reportedly asked Justice Minister Yariv Levin, Attorney General Gali Baharav-Miara, and the head of the government’s task force on crime in Arab society to convene a discussion on the matter.
 +
 +
Israel’s Kan News public broadcaster, in a separate report on Thursday, cited a senior Israel Security Agency (Shin Bet) official as warning the government that crime “has reached the level of a security threat.”
 +
 +
The phenomenon “endangers the democratic system and it requires greater involvement from the Shin Bet,” the official declared, adding that a “Guardian of the Walls 2,” would endanger the state’s security.
 +
 +
National Security Minister Itamar Ben-Gvir has often spoken about instructing the Israel police to prepare for another wave of Hamas-incited riots similar to those in 2021, calling the possible scenario of a “Guardian of the Walls 2.”

Caitríona Perry anchoring BBC News America, May 29, 2025.
 +
 +
Perry advocates for Hamas and tries the Pallyweid drama language but for once, is pushed back.
 +
 +
The begins with repeating what "Hamas official" argues why they can't agree to ceasefire Netanyahu agreed to [beacuse they want a guarantee of not resuming the war after 60 days], presents them as of equal and normal side in the war.
 +
 +
She interviews David Satterfield of the Baker Institute.
 +
 +
She asks Satterfield about UN objecting the US/Israel GHF and his opinion about it.
 +
 +
He replies that we should encourage any food entering.
 +
 +
[She misses the point of playing politics while they all say, the situation there is desperate].
 +
 +
Then she tries something else.
 +
 +
She plays the rhetoric and hyperbolic terminology (such as the G word) to see maybe he will budge. And asks if the US can force Netanyahu...
 +
 +
But Satterfield tells her "let's remind your listeners" whose fault it is there's no ceasefire in Gaza: "that lies exclusively with Hamas." They massacred Jews on Oct 7 and have said they will do it again and again. And reminds Hamas' stubbornness past too - such as late 2023; their goal of "claiming victory." That steps against / forcing Israel will only encourage Hamas.
 +
 +
Then Perry tries another thing. She plays Hamas argument and arguing as "not having a choice."
 +
 +
Satterfield: I would not wish to comment upon a terrorist organization...

Yonkers man jailed for antisemitic assault on Jewish barber.
 +
Ahmed al Jabali sentenced to six years in prison for a hate crime attack after attacking a Jewish barber with scissors, leaving him injured.

 +
 +
A Yonkers man received a six-year prison sentence and three years of supervised release on Thursday for attacking a Jewish barber, News 12 Westchester reported.
 +
 +
Ahmed al Jabali, 34, was sentenced by Judge James McCarty at Westchester County Court in White Plains.
 +
 +
Judge McCarty condemned al Jabali's actions, stating, "You admitted to and committed a reprehensible act, which hurt another person."
 +
 +
The victim, 50-year-old Jewish barber Slava Shushakov, was attacked with scissors in his Yonkers Avenue barbershop last August. Police reported that al Jabali used expletives and expressed a desire to kill the victim during the assault, which left Shushakov with multiple cuts.
 +
 +
Al Jabali pleaded guilty in April to second-degree assault as a hate crime and expressed remorse in court through an interpreter, saying, "I'm very sorry for this."

Amb. Hotovely counters British slander: 'What future do you promise my children?'
 +
In a fiery exchange, Israel's Ambassador Tzipi Hotovely challenges Piers Morgan on Hamas, war ethics, and global hypocrisy: 'Would you accept Hamas on your doorstep?'
 +
Israel National News.
 +
Published: May 30, 2025, 1:47 PM (GMT+3)
 +
 +
UK broadcaster Piers Morgan attacked Israeli Ambassador to the UK Tzipi Hotovely, asking if she is "prepared to kill" children in the war against Hamas, since in his opinion, Israel's strategy "is failing."
 +
 +
"How many Japanese children were killed under American attacks, and how many German children were killed under UK attacks in the Second World War?" she shot back.
 +
 +
"If you want to play a fair game you need to understand how Western armies operated in the past. Israel is not anywhere near the American attacks in Tokyo that killed 100,000 civilians, and not anywhere near to what the UK was doing in the Second World War."
 +
 +
Noting that she hears "all the people criticizing Israel today, including yourself," she demanded: "I'm asking you this question: If Israel finishes the war today and Hamas stays on our doorstep, what kind of future do you promise my children - a future that the seventh of October will happen again and again, just like Hamas leaders promised? This is what you expect the Israelis and Israeli leadership to accept?!"
 +
 +
Morgan admitted, "I did not think of that," adding that Hamas should not be allowed to even run a store after the war.
 +
 +
"So how do you achieve that?" Hotovely challenged. "Who's volunteering there to demilitarize the Gaza Strip?"
 +
 +
"Israel doesn't like fighting," she stressed. "These are our sons, brothers, and husbands who are fighting this war. No one has an interest to lose his business and to fight for 600 days unless it's a really existential threat. And Gaza has become an existential threat because of what happened, because they're being backed up by Iran, and we are not going to let it repeat even if we lose your sympathy. And we need to win this war and Israel will do everything to make sure Hamas won't control the Gaza Strip and I don't get to hear from anyone, including the leaders of Europe, a better plan of how to dismantle Hamas besides fighting."
