Analysis
Jerusalem Post: Why are more Israelis spying for Iran?
Once, the notion of an Israeli citizen spying for Iran could shock the nation. There were rare cases – outliers whose names were seared ignominiously into public memory: Nahum Manbar, the kibbutznik arms dealer who helped Iran build chemical weapons in the 1990s. Gonen Segev, a disgraced former minister turned smuggler, turned Iranian agent. They were the exceptions that proved the rule: Israelis don’t work for the enemy. Not anymore. On Tuesday, security authorities announced the arrest of two more Israeli citizens – Roi Mizrahi and Almog Atias, both 25, from Nesher near Haifa – suspected of carrying out a number of missions for Iranian handlers. One of the tasks – ultimately not completed – was allegedly to install a surveillance camera in Kfar Ahim to give the Iranians visual intelligence on the area near Defense Minister Yisrael Katz’s home.
Washington Institute: Disarming Palestinian Factions in Lebanon Means Disarming Hezbollah
Last week, the Supreme Defense Council in Beirut warned Hamas and other Palestinian militant factions against conducting any activities in Lebanon that might jeopardize the country’s security. The warning came after a meeting in which council members and President Joseph Aoun decided to seek full disarmament inside Palestinian refugee camps. And earlier today, following talks between Aoun and Palestinian Authority President Mahmoud Abbas in Beirut, the two leaders issued a joint statement declaring an end to “weapons outside the control of the Lebanese state” and pledging that local Palestinian camps would no longer be “safe havens for extremist groups.”
Jerusalem Post: The US-Israel partnership grows in the face of Qatari money
Lesson One: The Qatari con has worked for years – on both parties. The regime shamelessly crossbreeds jihadism and capitalism, bankrolling Hamas and other murderous Islamists while buying up America – and Americans. Lesson 2: The US-Israel partnership, nevertheless, keeps strengthening. This relationship is, using the word of the week, “transactional,” as well as existential and enduring. If Israel had effective public diplomacy, we would be bombarded with news alerts detailing the military, medical, and hi-tech gains Israel provided America from this ugly war. Warning signals are flashing, as they occasionally do. But the US-Israel fundamentals remain strong.

BBC: US Jewish museum shooting suspect was mistaken for witness
The suspect accused of shooting and killing two Israeli embassy staff members at a Wednesday night event in Washington DC was mistaken for a witness by security, eyewitnesses told the BBC.

Just Security: Nihilistic Violent Extremism: A Valuable Stride Forward in American Counterterrorism
The FBI describes NVEs as “individuals who engage in criminal conduct within the United States and abroad, in furtherance of political, social, or religious goals that derive primarily from a hatred of society at large and a desire to bring about its collapse by sowing indiscriminate chaos, destruction, and social instability.” The government’s use of the term was first reported by journalist Ken Klippenstein on a Substack site “dedicated to explaining what the national security state is actually up to.” Klippenstein claimed: “The brand new term was invented to replace the Biden administration’s focus on anti-government and ‘anti-authority’ extremism adopted after January 6. It also has the side benefit of appearing to be non-partisan, shifting the attention away from MAGA and white supremacism while pretending not to be focusing on anti-Trump activism.”

CBC: Halifax hate-crime numbers rise, but police say they remain underreported
The latest numbers show hate crimes in Halifax and Nova Scotia continue to rise, with politics and national and global conflicts often having an impact, police say.

BILD: Interior Minister Dobrindt calls for expulsion of Jew-haters
Dobrindt considers the rise in anti-Semitism in Germany to be particularly worrying. When asked by BILD, the Interior Minister stated: "It is objectively the case that there is imported anti-Semitism in Germany." BKA chief Münch assumes that "Jewish institutions and individuals will continue to be targeted in the future, both by right-wing agitation and from other directions". Alexander Dobrindt's recipe against hatred of Jews: "The regular expulsion of anti-Semitic foreigners". In other words, foreign Jew-haters who are convicted as such with legal force should be expelled from Germany. For everyone else, there are democracy courses and higher penalties. Dobrindt: "The unprecedented increase in the number of politically motivated crimes is a worrying development that we must combat with all consistency and determination."
Jüdische Allgemeine: Anti-Semitic incidents in the capital Berlin doubled
The Research and Information Center on Anti-Semitism Berlin (Rias) registered 2,521 anti-Semitic incidents in the capital last year. This is almost double the number recorded in 2023 (98.5 percent), as Rias announced in Berlin on Tuesday. Many incidents occurred online, especially on social media platforms. Almost 44% of the incidents (1,101) were related to the Hamas attack on Israel on October 7, 2023 and the subsequent war. Anti-Semitic messages both online and offline have become more violent and disinhibited, the report continued. They contain threats of violence, fantasies of extermination or advocacy of the Shoah. On average, there were four gatherings with anti-Semitic incidents per week. According to Rias, the many incidents continue to have a restrictive effect on the everyday lives of Israelis and Jews. "The figures show what Jews in Berlin have long known: Aggressive anti-Semitism is part of the culture in some neighborhoods in Berlin," explained the President of the Central Council of Jews in Germany, Josef Schuster, following the presentation of the statistics.
The Berlin Office for the Protection of the Constitution has published its new report on the past year - and warns of a dangerous alliance between Islamists and left-wing radicals. Their common enemy: Israel, Jews and police officers. The report states that the Palestine demonstrations since the Hamas attack on Israel on October 7, 2023 have acted "as a platform for anti-Semitic and anti-Israel propaganda". The demos served to "plausibilize and emotionally fuel open hatred of Israel and anti-Semitism". The participants "showed solidarity with the 'Palestinian resistance', which regularly included armed resistance". Crimes committed by the Islamist terrorist organizations Hamas (Gaza) and Hezbollah (Lebanon) as well as the Iranian mullah regime were "played down, often justified and sometimes even cheered on by the crowd". The core of the scene in Berlin is made up of "various alliances of several groups from the spectrum of foreign-related extremism as well as the Islamist and parts of the left-wing extremist scene". In other words: an alliance of Islamists and left-wing extremists.
Romania
The hard-right nationalist who lost Romania’s presidential election rerun said Tuesday he has asked a top court to annul the election results, alleging that foreign interference and coordinated manipulation affected Sunday’s vote.

Axios: Israel preparing to strike Iran fast if Trump's nuclear talks break down
Israel is making preparations to swiftly strike Iran's nuclear facilities if negotiations between the U.S. and Iran collapse, two Israeli sources with knowledge of the discussions tell Axios. Why it matters: The Israeli intelligence community has shifted just in the past few days from believing a nuclear deal was close to thinking talks could soon break down, the sources say. One source said the Israeli military thinks its operational window to conduct a successful strike could close soon, so Israel will have to move fast if talks fail. Both sources confirmed a CNN report that the Israel Defense Forces have been conducting exercises and other preparations for a possible strike in Iran. "There was a lot of training and the U.S. military sees everything and understands Israel is preparing," one said.
Reuters: Israel Supreme Court says decision to sack Shin Bet chief was illegal
Israel's Supreme Court has ruled that a government decision to sack the head of the domestic intelligence service Shin Bet was "illegal and contrary to law", Israeli media reported on Wednesday. In its ruling, the Supreme Court determined that the dismissal was done in violation of the law, and that Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu had a conflict of interest because of an investigation into the "Qatar-Gate" affair. Bar announced his resignation in April, saying he would step down on June 15, six weeks after Netanyahu tried to oust him.
Jerusalem post: Netanyahu: 20 hostages are still alive, Israel has brought back 148 alive

Twenty are alive; we will return them all,” he said. Before the release of Edan Alexander, the Hostages and Missing Families Forum said it believed there were 24 living hostages. The fate of three of them, one Israeli and two foreign nationals, is a serious concern for officials. “If there is an opportunity for a temporary ceasefire to return hostages, we are prepared for it,” he said. He also fired back at the High Court’s ruling regarding his attempt to fire Shin Bet (Israel Security Agency) chief Ronen Bar and stated that he intended to select a new agency head.

Long War Journal: Syrian military integrates Al Qaeda-linked terror group into its ranks
The new Syrian government is integrating a Central Asian terrorist group that is part of Al Qaeda’s network into its military, despite the objections of US President Donald Trump. The head of this terror group, the Turkistan Islamic Party (TIP), is based in Afghanistan and issues orders to his followers in Syria. On May 14, US President Donald Trump met with Syrian interim President Ahmad al Sharaa, who is listed as a terrorist by both Washington and the United Nations and once served as the head of Syria’s Al Qaeda affiliate. In the meeting, President Trump gave the Syrian leader a number of demands, chief amongst them the removal of all foreign terrorists from Syria.
The New Arab: Why the Islamic State remains a threat in post-Assad Syria
Since the fall of Bashar Al-Assad in December 2024, Syria has entered a fragile transition. Assad’s removal fractured the network of Syrian, Iranian, and Russian forces that had for years propped up the regime. But the vacuum they left behind did not immediately translate into IS gains. By the end of 2024, IS had been conducting an average of 59 attacks per month. Yet since the regime’s collapse, those attacks have dropped by 80%, Tammer confirmed. The reasons remain unclear. “It is possible that the ISIS leadership is reassessing the changing political and military landscape,” she said, though she warned this is likely temporary. Samy Akil, a MENA political analyst, agrees. “The Assad regime manipulated the ISIS threat for its own survival,” he argues. “It allowed ISIS to expand in certain areas to discredit the opposition and justify its own brutality. With Assad gone, that strategy collapsed - but ISIS hasn’t disappeared. It’s waiting for instability to return.”
