Reuters: Israel may seize all Gaza in expanded operation, officials say
Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu said on Monday an expanded offensive against Palestinian militant group Hamas would be "intensive" after his security cabinet approved plans that may include seizing the Gaza Strip and controlling aid. However an Israeli defence official said the operation would not be launched before U.S. President Donald Trump concludes his visit next week to the Middle East. The decision, after weeks of faltering efforts to agree a ceasefire with Hamas, underlines the threat that a war heaping international pressure on Israel amid dwindling public support at home could continue with no end in sight. A report by Israel's public broadcaster Kan, citing officials with knowledge of the details, said the new plan was gradual and would take months, with forces focusing first on one area of the battered enclave.
Reuters: Israel attacks Yemen's capital Sanaa, says Houthi-run TV
Israel attacked Yemen's capital Sanaa on Tuesday, Houthi-run Al-Masirah TV said, and eyewitnesses reported four strikes, after the Israeli military warned people to leave the area around the main airport. The attack followed Israeli airstrikes on the Yemeni port of Hodeidah on Monday in response to a Houthi missile that landed near Israel's main air hub.

BR24: IS woman brought back to Bavaria and arrested
The German security authorities repeatedly stated that many of these women did not want to return to Germany. However, a paper by researcher Sofia Koller from the international non-profit organization "Counter Extremism Project" from February 2024 shows that several women did want to return even then. According to the Federal Ministry of the Interior, around 40 percent of the approximately 1,150 people who traveled from Germany to Syria or Iraq returned to Germany, around 25 percent of whom were women. The security authorities assume that a smaller proportion of the returnees continue to hold Salafist-jihadist views. The Bavarian Office for the Protection of the Constitution's 2023 report states that this applies to two of the 16 returnees in Bavaria.

Jerusalem Post: Tel Aviv airport strike shows Houthis gaining strategic edge in proxy war
Since the start of the Israel-Hamas war in October 2023, the Iranian-backed Houthi group has launched over 70 rockets at Israel in what it claims is an act of solidarity with Palestinians. “It is highly unlikely that Israel will be able to stop this, so long as the war in Gaza continues,” Citrinowicz added. On Sunday, Israeli media reported that tens of thousands of reservists were being called to duty to reinforce operations against Hamas in Gaza, where fighting has dragged on for more than a year. Israel has successfully intercepted most incoming attacks, with the exception of one fatality caused by a Houthi drone in Tel Aviv last summer. In response, Israel has carried out several airstrikes on Houthi infrastructure in Yemen, although these have since ceased under a reported agreement with the US, which is now leading military operations against the group.
Jerusalem Post: Goal of Israel’s new Gaza plan conquest and long-term boots on ground
Unlike the past, "the IDF intends to remain in any area that is conquered to prevent terrorism from returning. It will handle cleansed locations according to the Rafah model, where all threats were eliminated, and it became part of the security zone,” a security source said. There are different views regarding what will occur once these goals are achieved. Finance Minister Bezalel Smotrich said that it is important for people to stop being afraid to use the word “occupation.” The operation’s goal will be occupation and conquest, with long-term boots on the ground. Some optimists believe Israel has finally made the decision it should have made back in October 2023, as the move could result in clearing Hamas and removing it.
United States
New York City’s police department provided federal immigration authorities with an internal record about a Palestinian woman who they arrested at a protest, which the Trump administration is now using as evidence in its bid to deport her, according to court documents obtained by The Associated Press.

Jewish News Syndicate: Passengers sue United for alleged Jew-hatred on flight to Israel
A group of 57 passengers recently sued United Airlines for alleged antisemitic discrimination, claiming the airline turned a plane around mid-flight to Tel Aviv from Newark, N.J., because many of the passengers were Jewish, the New York Post reported. The plane was turned around roughly three hours into a flight from Newark Liberty International Airport to Ben-Gurion International Airport on April 22, 2023, when a passenger sat in a flight attendant’s seat while waiting for the restroom. The crew member then told the pilot there was a “security threat,” according to the suit filed with the Manhattan Supreme Court.
The Guardian: How Ohio became a hotbed of white supremacism, spreading its tentacles globally
By many accounts, Hilliard, a leafy suburb west of downtown Columbus, is a midwestern success story: its progressive school district gives a vacation day for all students to mark the Muslim holiday of Eid al-Fitr – the first in Ohio to do so – and its homes are highly sought-after by a growing number of diverse families where locals enjoy shopping at the oldest Asian grocery in the state. But it is also where Christopher Brenner Cook, a convicted terrorist, grew up. In April 2023, Cook and two others were sentenced for conspiring to attack America’s electrical grid, and he was given a 92-month prison term.

Sacramento Bee: Black man killed in Sacramento-area hate crime. Defendant gets maximum sentence
Latrina Davis spoke on Friday directly to the man convicted of killing her brother, a Black man, who was gunned down last year in a Sacramento County hate crime simply because of his race. “You couldn’t see past the color of his beautiful Black skin,” Davis said in court. “I think about his last breath every single day. I imagine him fighting for his life after watching the video of him standing up after being shot, trying to survive, only to fall again alone on the cold ground.”

The Guardian: Jewish faculty decry Republican panel members ahead of antisemitism hearing
A number of Republican legislators set to grill university presidents in a congressional hearing on antisemitism this week are associated with calls for Jews to convert to Christianity, have quoted Adolf Hitler, or have reportedly threatened to burn a synagogue to the ground.

New York Times: Trump Is Fighting Antisemitism the Wrong Way, a Jewish Group Argues
“The proper and essential role for the U.S. government in addressing antisemitism is through the nation’s powerful anti-discrimination laws,” the American Jewish Committee, an advocacy organization, said in the statement, which was also signed by an array of higher education groups, including the Association of American Universities and the American Council on Education. The groups said that federal law allowed for “vigorous enforcement” while preserving fairness for individuals and schools.
A saga unfolded on Dave Portnoy’s social media channels over the last two days as he raged over an antisemitic sign at one of his bars, pledged to send the perpetrators on an all-expenses-paid tour of Auschwitz and then, after a reversal, doxxed one of them and withdrew the offer. The Barstool Sports media mogul, who is Jewish, isn’t the only one exacting retribution over the incident. The Temple University students who ordered a sign with their drinks reading “F— the Jews” at a Barstool-affiliated sports bar in Philadelphia are also facing consequences from their school.
A Jordanian national living in Florida was sentenced this week to six years in federal prison for attacking a series of businesses, including a solar farm, for their perceived support of Israel, the U.S. Justice Department said in a statement.

Merkur: IS supporter returns to Bavaria - Radicalized children in prison camps cause concern
At some point, there must have been a "point of no return" for Lydia G.. A point at which she apparently decided to give up her life in Germany and dedicate herself to the Islamic State (IS) in Syria. What exactly may have happened since then is unclear. However, following research by IPPEN.MEDIA and Bayerischer Rundfunk (BR), it seems clear that Lydia G. is probably one of the women with a connection to Germany who was last held in one of the two Kurdish prison camps in al-Hol or Rodsch in northern Syria. Now G. is being brought back to Germany together with her four underage children.
Jewish News Syndicate: Nazi recording confirms Hitler ordered Holocaust
Approximately 800 digital recordings and transcripts of Nazi criminals from after World War II were revealed on Saturday, including dramatic and disturbing testimonies that shed light on Nazi methods during the war and Holocaust and on their escape routes. Among the recordings, published on the Hoover Institution website, is one from SS officer Bruno Streckenbach (1902-1977), head of the Administration and Personnel Department of the Reich Security Main Office (RSHA), in which he admits that Adolf Hitler gave explicit instructions for implementing the Final Solution and the mass murder of Jews—a significant revelation, as until now there has been limited concrete evidence of this direct order.

Deutsche Welle: Germany sees new debate over possible ban of the AfD
On Friday, the Alternative for Germany (AfD) was classified as "confirmed right-wing extremist" by Germany's domestic intelligence agency, the Federal Office for the Protection of the Constitution (BfV). Now, there has been a first fallout: two AfD politicians and parliamentarians are not allowed to accompany Hesse's Minister for European affairs, Manfred Pentz, on a trip to Serbia and Croatia. Pentz explained that he could not expect international partners "to sit down at the same table with representatives of a party that has been confirmed as right-wing extremist." Further measures also threaten the radical right-wing party: several federal states want to examine whether being a civil servant, including judges, police officers, teachers, or soldiers, is still compatible with being a member of the AfD.

The military said in a statement that it attacked what it called Houthi terrorist targets in Hodeidah and its vicinity. The strikes injured at least 21 people, the Houthi-run health ministry spokesman Anees al-Asbahi said. The Houthis shut down the area around the port and cement factory following the strikes, three sources said. They said the extent of the damage at the port was unknown, yet the intensity of the strikes and fire caused severe damage to the containers' berth. Two other sources estimated the damage at 70% of the port's five docks, warehouses and customs area. The strikes occurred as two ships were unloading their cargo, with traffic at the port at a complete standstill, a worker at the port said.

Turkey
Turkey has emerged as a new source of financial support for Hezbollah, the Iranian-backed proxy group in Lebanon, which has come under intense pressure from Israeli military operations and US Treasury sanctions. In a formal complaint submitted to the United Nations Security Council, Israel accused Turkey of acting as a financial conduit for the Lebanese militant group Hezbollah. The complaint cited specific flights originating from Turkey that allegedly transported cash intended for the organization. In a letter dated February 20, 2025, Israeli Ambassador to the United Nations Danny Danon addressed the Security Council and Secretary-General António Guterres, detailing what Israel characterizes as “persistent violations” of Security Council Resolution 1701 as well as breaches of the Ceasefire Understanding reached with Lebanon in November 2024.

Sudan
Jerusalem Post: Hamas’s next front? Sudan’s Islamist army and the African threat to Israel
Sudan, once seen as a promising partner under the Abraham Accords, is now collapsing into a stronghold for global jihadists. UAE intelligence recently foiled an illegal shipment of weapons destined for the Sudanese Armed Forces (SAF), which are openly aligning with radical Islamist groups. This same network has supported terrorists behind recent attacks in Kashmir, India; smuggled Iranian weapons to Hamas; and previously trained Osama bin Laden’s fighters, all under SAF’s protection. Sudan is no longer just a battlefield. It is rapidly becoming a terror hub, strategically positioned near Israel’s southern flank and the vital shipping lanes of the Red Sea.

India
India has described the April 22 massacre as a terror attack and blamed Pakistan for backing it, an accusation denied by Islamabad. India swiftly announced diplomatic actions against its archrival Pakistan, which responded with its own tit-for-tat measures. The assailants are still on the run, as calls in India for military action against Pakistan are growing. World leaders are scrambling to de-escalate the tensions between two nuclear-armed neighbors, which have historically relied on third countries for conflict management. But the massacre has also touched a raw nerve.
India head coach Gautam Gambhir on Tuesday called for a complete halt to cricketing engagements with Pakistan at any forum, including Asia Cup and ICC events, in the aftermath of the Pahalgam terror attack. At an ABP event, Gambhir said the national team should not be playing the arch-rivals till cross-border terrorism ends. India have not played a full series against Pakistan since 2007 due to the tense relations between both countries. They only play each other at multi-team events and even that should be discontinued, said Gambhir.
Pakistan
akistan’s attempt to internationalise the Pahalgam attack issue in a bid to avoid India’s retaliatory actions by approaching the United Nations Security Council (UNSC) seem to have backfired after members of the council refused to buy Islamabad’s “false flag operation” narrative and asked “tough questions” to the South Asian nation on terrorism.
