Fox News: House Dems rally around Hamas sympathizer facing potential deportation: 'Free Mahmoud Khalil'

Times Of Israel: Netanyahu interviewing Shin Bet chief candidates amid legal freeze on Bar’s ouster
Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu has begun interviewing candidates to replace Shin Bet head Ronen Bar, who was dismissed but remains in his position due to a High Court ruling. The court allowed interviews for potential successors but upheld a freeze on Bar's ouster amid ongoing legal challenges.

Israel is facing two significant conflicts under Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu: a renewed military campaign in Gaza, resulting in over 50,000 Palestinian deaths, and a political assault on the judiciary. This dual warfare marks a transformation of the Israeli state.

Fox News: How Mike Johnson and Jim Jordan could hit back at judges blocking Trump's agenda
Congressional Republicans are strategizing to counter what they view as "activist judges" hindering President Trump's policies. A House Judiciary Committee hearing is set for April 1, where they will discuss a bill aimed at limiting federal judges' ability to issue nationwide injunctions.
The proposed No Rogue Rulings Act, supported by GOP leadership, seeks to restrict district court judges' orders. While some Republicans have suggested impeachment of judges, there is little support for this approach. Speaker Mike Johnson emphasized the need for Congress to leverage its funding authority to address judicial overreach.
