Times Of Israel: PA’s Abbas urges new pope to uphold Francis’ ‘legacy’ of defending Palestinian rights
Shin Bet officials are urging lawmakers to classify the proliferation of illegal weapons in Arab communities as a national security threat, citing a rise in violent crime and fears of nationalist violence similar to the 2021 riots. They recommend treating weapons offenses as security violations for harsher penalties.

Breitbart: Exclusive: Consumers' Research Calls Out Nationwide Insurance for Rebranding DEI Policies
Consumers’ Research has accused Nationwide Insurance of disguising its ongoing diversity, equity, and inclusion (DEI) practices under a new label of “belonging” initiatives. The advocacy group claims this rebranding does not change the underlying discriminatory nature of these policies.
The letter from Consumers’ Research highlights that Nationwide's DEI efforts are deeply embedded in its operations, including hiring and partnerships. The group asserts that Nationwide's attempts to threaten legal action for comments made about these practices reflect an unwillingness to confront the reality of their policies.

Breitbart: Congress: Chinese Spying in Cuba Puts U.S. 'in the Crosshairs of a Hostile Foreign Power'

Experts warn that these developments pose significant risks to U.S. national security, particularly given Cuba's history of collaboration with authoritarian regimes. Lawmakers are calling for a formal threat assessment on Chinese activities in Cuba to address the implications for American military and commercial operations.

Times Of Israel: After relentless US bombing campaign, Yemen’s Houthis are biggest victors of truce
Yemen's Houthi rebels have emerged from a recent US bombing campaign with a reinforced position as a powerful non-state actor, claiming victory despite US President Trump's assertion of their capitulation. The Houthis intend to continue targeting Israeli shipping in the Red Sea, framing their actions as solidarity with Palestinians amid ongoing conflicts.
The rebels, backed by Iran, have increased their military capabilities and autonomy, posing a significant challenge to US and Israeli interests in the region. Analysts suggest that while the recent truce may provide a temporary pause, it allows the Houthis to rearm and strengthen their position, complicating the geopolitical landscape in the Middle East.
