🇮🇱 Israeli FM Gideon Sa’ar: “Here in Jerusalem is the beginning of everything, the foundation of foundations, the focus of the longing and dreams of all generations. This is the city where King David established his capital, our capital, more than 3,000 years ago, around 1000 BC.” By that logic, Constantine the Great established Constantinople in 330 AD for HIS people. Shall the Romans go over and try to reclaim Istanbul? It was the capital of the Eastern Roman Byzantine Empire for over 1,100 years… just saying. Romans... mount up! 😂 Writer: Jamie t.co/WeXLHpSRah

🇮🇱🇺🇸 "Israel First" U.S. Amb. Mike Huckabee: "The reason [people in Gaza] died, was often because Hamas took their civilians and put them in harm's way." Did that happen in some instances? Probably. But 75,000+ times??? You're fking delusional bro... Writer: Michael t.co/PeKpnrgaSC

🇮🇱🇱🇧 Israeli Defense Minister Katz says if Hezbollah attacks, Lebanon will lose MORE land... “If Hezbollah joins Iran in an attack on Israel, it will suffer a severe blow and lose additional territory in southern Lebanon, in the areas of Nabatieh and the Litani River, which will become part of Israel’s permanent security zone. The IDF is prepared to carry out the maneuver.” Something tells me they are going to annex that territory anyway. It is identified as part of the ‘Greater Israel’ project. You’re only fooling yourself if you think that isn’t their ultimate goal! Writer: Jamie t.co/Fih6bhmosX

🇺🇸 Trump’s grip on Ohio’s working-class voters may be beginning to slip... A decade ago, he pulled union workers and blue-collar families away from the Democrats in Ohio. Now, with the midterms less than 3 weeks away, Democrats and union leaders think they can win some of them back. The reasons are easy to see: rising prices, the Iran war, and some voters growing uneasy about his rhetoric. In a poll last month, just 27% of Americans approved of how he’s handling the economy. Trump was in Youngstown, Ohio, just this week, and it’s easy to see why. Source: Reuters / Writer: Daniyal

🇺🇸🇮🇱🇮🇷 U.S. Amb. to Israel Mike Huckabee, on if the Iran war is damaging Trump ahead of the midterms: “If it is, it’s because Americans are oblivious to the threat that the Iranians hold to America.” Or maybe they’re tired of having been lied to for 40 years about a threat that may, or may not exist. Writer: Jamie t.co/17aMTE2a2N

🇺🇸🇮🇷 Trump says the U.S. may have gone TOO FAR in killing Iran's top leaders. He says the campaign against Iran's leadership has complicated efforts to reach a diplomatic agreement. “We might have gone too far with the leaders because we don't know who the hell we're dealing with anymore.” Maybe he should have listened his advisors and not Israel...

🇺🇸🇮🇱 U.S. Amb. to Israel Mike Huckabee: "The Israelis are unbelievably resilient people." It's easy to praise Israeli resilience while conveniently ignoring Palestinian suffering. Resilience is not a moral justification for occupation, displacement, or the destruction of civilian lives... Writer: Samuel t.co/R0VC79RJCG

🚨🇮🇷🇦🇪 Iran says a container ship carrying 2,500 containers just SANK in the Strait of Hormuz. It’s been named as the GFS Pride, a Singapore-flagged ship run by a UAE-based company, which had its tracking signal off for about 10 days. Nobody’s said yet what sank it or what happened to the crew, but Iran is warning boats and fishermen to watch out for floating containers. They're on a rampage right now...

🚨🇺🇸 Kamala Harris says there's been "overt cheating" in the U.S. election process: "I believe we are in a very difficult environment. AI contributes to, for example, vast amounts of mis- and disinformation. There have been overt attempts to deny fair and free elections. As we all know, in the United States, there's been overt cheating happening around the election process... Whether it be the purging of the voter rolls or redrawing districts outside of the season when that would happen." Her and Trump both agree on the cheating; they just disagree on who's being cheated! 😂 Writer: Michael t.co/t8jmDY0l8N

🇺🇸🇮🇱 U.S. Amb. to Israel Mike Huckabee: "Groceries and fuel prices are important, but Americans should ask themselves: Do your children have a future if Iran gets nuclear weaponry?" Apparently, struggling to afford food and fuel becomes a secondary concern the moment a politician invokes a hypothetical nuclear threat. What's YOUR priority? Writer: Samuel t.co/gdlHqwauEc

UKRAINE IS BURNING 😔

🚨🇮🇷 A 19,000-tonne container ship was struck yesterday in the Strait of Hormuz, around the Musandam Peninsula. "The vessel reports minor damage, no casualties, and was able to continue on its passage [outbound]." More than 18 vessels were targeted in the first 12 days of October (6+ in a single day!). Iran has NOT been forced into compliance by the U.S... Source: UKMTO / Writer: Michael

🇦🇺 Australia has made cigarettes the most expensive in the world by constantly hiking taxes, hoping people would simply stop smoking. Smoking rates have dropped a lot, but the plan is backfiring in a big way. A massive black market has exploded. Illegal packs are everywhere for a fraction of the price, organised crime is making serious money, and the government is losing billions in tax revenue. Classic case of good intentions meeting harsh reality. Writer: Daniyal t.co/uFR2GZl58S

🚨🇮🇱🇮🇷 Netanyahu says he OPPOSES launching a preemptive strike against Iran... The Israeli PM said security considerations MUST come before political calculations: “In my opinion, now is NOT a convenient time for us. Throughout my life, I have always placed security considerations above everything else.” Netanyahu started the war, and now he's saying the timing isn't convenient 🤣🤣🤣 Source: @amichaistein1 / Writer: Samuel

🇷🇺🇺🇦 NATO Chief Rutte calls Putin WEAK: "Here is the main thing: We are stronger. Russia is not in a good place. Hybrid attacks and whatever it is are a sign of WEAKNESS. What they would love us to do is to talk about it the whole day and to be rattled and to have press conferences on it. We're not going to do that. We will react where we need to react, again, not always visibly." Strong powers can openly enforce their will. Weak powers must hide their tracks. So his point is fair. But what does he mean by reacting "not always visibly"? 🤔 Writer: Michael t.co/HFPXIvFDEe

🚨🇺🇸 Kamala Harris, speaking in Seoul, South Korea: "The last few years have shown us American foreign policy orthodoxies of old are insufficient to meet the challenges we face. Some have tried to restore a pre-WWII era when conquest and cronyism were commonplace. Others in the establishment have been clinging to a post-WWII order, slow to adapt to a changing world. But we cannot afford to be driven by nostalgia. America must look forward." Some say Kamala shouldn't run for president again... But at least she didn't say World War Eleven 😂😂😂 Writer: Michael t.co/cr3pwtvhnI

🚨🇮🇱 A building undergoing renovations has COLLAPSED in central Tel Aviv... 3 people have been rescued from the rubble. The collapse occurred near the intersection of Nahalat Binyamin Street and Rothschild Boulevard. According to Israeli emergency services, the 3 people rescued are believed to be construction workers.

🇸🇦🇱🇰 Saudi Arabia will NOT execute the Sri Lankan worker sentenced to death over a Facebook comment. The kingdom's supreme court threw out 24-year-old Anojan Sivarasa's blasphemy sentence yesterday, after Sri Lanka sent a 4-member legal team to Riyadh to fight for his life. A young man came within reach of execution over a few words online, and it took a full diplomatic campaign from his government to pull him back. Source: The Independent / Writer: Julie

🇺🇸 Trump is a parodoxical figure... He's a billionaire, so inherently the LEAST relatable American president in history. But at the same time, there's nothing to him that is "beneath the office," making him VERY relatable. I think that's what some people just don't get... Trump is unpopular right now, and for good reason. But to his supporters, and to many Americans, these ridiculous posts, viral moments, and memes are what make him a breath of fresh air. There's no script with Trump. That's the whole point. Source: Truth Social / Writer: Michael

TRUMP JUST THREW UKRAINE UNDER THE BUS

🚨🇺🇸🇮🇱 Kamala throws Biden under the bus on Israel: "It is in our interest to hold our allies accountable for their share of global defense, to ensure trade benefits American workers and consumers, and to uphold our moral obligation to human rights and international law. To be sure, America has at times fallen short on that one. Most recently, the failure to use our leverage to curtail the Israeli government's horrific conduct in the war in Gaza, both under the current administration, which offers Netanyahu a blank check... And our administration before, where we should have acted sooner and more forcefully." Yeah, she's 100% running again in '28 😂 Writer: Michael t.co/C0YB8pP1dn

🇮🇷 The last Empress of Iran Farah Pahlavi, who ruled Iran with the Shah for 20 years, turns 88 today. Her son, the fmr. Crown Prince Reza Pahlavi: "I wish a happy birthday to my mother, Her Majesty Farah Pahlavi. A woman who has held, and continues to hold, a maternal place not only in my heart but in the hearts of several generations of Iranians. What has always been praiseworthy to me in my mother’s being is her boundless love for Iran and her enduring efforts to safeguard and nurture the culture and arts of this land and its people. My mother has never lost faith in the triumph of light over darkness. I hope that soon she will witness the realization of the dream she has cherished all her life: the freedom of Iran, the glory of its people, and the return of light to a land that has never been far from her heart. Long live Iran." Source: @PahlaviReza / Writer: Michael

🇦🇷 At least 8 whales just washed up dead near Puerto Madryn in 2 days. This coast has been seeing way more dead whales than usual all season, earlier it was mostly calves, now it’s adults too. Scientists still don’t really have a solid answer. They’re looking at bacteria (maybe getting in through wounds from those kelp gulls that peck at them) for the babies, and red tide/toxic algae for the adults. Lab results aren’t back yet so it’s all still speculation. Weird how something this big can keep happening with no clear explanation. Writer: Daniyal t.co/FcPPfsSW7w

🇦🇪🇮🇱 The UAE is getting a permanent embassy in Israel. Israeli planners just approved a building of up to 15 floors in Herzliya Pituah, near Tel Aviv. It will house the embassy’s offices along with homes for the ambassador and diplomatic staff. It’s been a long time coming. The 2 countries set up ties 6 years ago under the Abraham Accords. Only now does the UAE’s mission in Israel have a permanent address to call its own. Source: Jerusalem Post / Writer: Daniyal

🇺🇦🇺🇸🇷🇺 Zelensky wants Trump to hit Russia with STRONG sanctions, and he's making his pitch in a language Republicans know well. He says Moscow has chosen to continue its “mad war of destruction,” pointing to Lindsey Graham's sanctions legislation and asking for more Patriot interceptors. But the real pitch came at the end, when Zelensky invoked Ronald Reagan to remind Washington that peace comes through strength. Sanctions, Patriots and a little Ronald Reagan. Zelensky knows exactly who he's pitching to. Writer: Julie

🇮🇱 Israel is rushing through a roughly 1 billion shekel Apache helicopter deal, and guess who's footing the bill? A fund meant to develop the country's Arab communities. The Finance Ministry confirmed that nearly all the money is coming from that fund, with just 68 million shekels from the regular budget. Ministers were asked to approve it by phone, just 2 weeks before an election, as part of a larger 3.5 billion shekel defense package. Even a legal opinion attached to the deal warned it could tie the next government's hands and put political interests ahead of the public's. Apparently, election season comes with its own definition of “urgent.” Source: The Jerusalem Post / Writer: Julie

Grok Bot can now clock in for your Shopify store. Connect it once, and it can check orders, watch inventory, update product listings and keep routine store work moving without you living inside the dashboard. That’s the big shift. You’re no longer just asking AI questions about the business. You’re giving it jobs inside the business. For a small team, that can mean a lot fewer tabs and a lot more time spent on the stuff that actually needs a human. @Grok @Bot @Shopify @spacexai / Writer: Annette, Designer: Janné

🇮🇱 This "balloon" was spotted in Northern Israel over the weekend, and many are asking: is it of this Earth? Some say it's a balloon, or a cluster of balloons, or even a garbage bag (I don't see it), but when you look at the footage and see how fast it's going... Aliens in Israel would be WILD, even for 2026! 🤣👽 Source: @ItayBlumental / Writer: Michael
