The Saudi newspaper Asharq Al-Awsat reported Saturday that Hamas is facing what could be the "most severe" crisis since it was officially founded in 1987. According to the paper, the terrorist organization is grappling with financial turmoil in Gaza, the West Bank, and Lebanon. In Gaza, reports also point to a clear drop in public support.
Sources within Hamas told Asharq Al-Awsat that the group has never experienced such a situation. Economically, they described difficulties in paying the salaries of civil servants in Gaza, members of its military wing, and operatives across its various branches.
Over the past four months, civil servants reportedly received only 900 shekels in total (about $240), leading to widespread discontent. Budgets for ministries and even vario...
The U.S. administration of President Donald Trump on Friday issued a broad sanctions relief for Syria, saying the measure sought to encourage investment in the war-ravaged Middle Eastern country.
The Department of the Treasury’s Office of Foreign Assets Control (OFAC) issued Syria General License (GL) 25 to provide "immediate sanctions relief," an official press release read.
“As President Trump promised, the Treasury Department and the State Department are implementing authorizations to encourage new investment into Syria. Syria must also continue to work towards becoming a stable country that is at peace, and today’s actions will hopefully put the country on a path to a bright, prosperous, and stable future,” said Secretary of the Treasury Scot...
The personal effects of Eli Cohen, the storied Mossad spy executed in Damascus in 1965, were transferred to Israel in early May by helicopter from the Druze majority town of Suwayda in southern Syria. i24NEWS learned further details about the handover, reported here for the first time.
While Israel announced last week the retrieval of the trove of documents, photographs and personal possessions relating to Cohen, it did not reveal key details about the operation, merely saying that Mossad operatives had worked with an unspecified foreign intelligence agency to secure the material.
Cohen, who was publicly executed in 1965 after infiltrating Syria’s political elite, is hailed among the Jewish state's greatest heroes for uncovering military secrets tha...
Leo Terrell, a senior council at the DOJ, tweeted that he 'will review all leads' against Guy Christensen, a TikTok influencer with more than three million followers, after Christensen praised the murder of two Israeli embassy workers in Washington.Christensen's video includes a full reading of Elia Rodriguez's manifesto and a lengthy and impassioned list of accusations of genocide against the IDF. Christensen also claims that Israelis greet news of Palestinian deaths by 'rejoicing in the streets'. He speaks at length in favor of 'armed demonstration' to replace unarmed or peaceful protests.
The video has been removed from some platforms since it was posted.

Guy Christensen, an influencer boasting nearly 3.5 million followers on various platforms, has released a video praising the murder of two Israeli embassy workers in Washington.
The video includes a full reading of Elia Rodriguez's manifesto and a lengthy and impassioned list of accusations of genocide against the IDF. Christensen also claims that Israelis greet news of Palestinian deaths by 'rejoicing in the streets'. He speaks at length in favor of 'armed demonstration' to replace unarmed or peaceful protests.
The video has been removed from some platforms since it was posted.
"Hamas is not a terrorist organization, they are resistance fighters," he stresses. "Condemning the elimination of the two embassy workers out of fear that the government will crack down...
A senior official in the Hamas terror organization commented in an interview with the Al-Araby Al-Jadeed newspaper on reports of a Saudi-French initiative to disarm Hamas and transfer its weapons to a civilian governing body in the Gaza Strip.
The official stated that no contacts have been made with representatives from Saudi Arabia or France regarding such a plan, and the issue of disarmament is not even up for discussion.
"The resistance’s weapons are a red line, and the matter is completely closed with the agreement of all armed factions in the Strip—not just Hamas," the official emphasized.
He went on to criticize diplomatic mediation efforts aimed at disarming the Strip without addressing Hamas’s demands: "Any diplomatic activity that does not require Is...
New York, NY - May 23, 2025:Dear Friends,
Wednesday night’s tragic shooting of Sarah Milgrim and Yaron Lischinsky at the Jewish Museum in Washington, D.C., was shocking but not surprising.
How can we be surprised when repeated calls for violence against those associated with Israel – “globalize the Intifada” – are eventually answered? How could we not expect the ongoing demonization of the Jewish state and the blood libels leveled at its soldiers and defenders to result in antisemitic murders? Could any student of history fail to recognize that the tinder box of antisemitism was again being refilled and prepared for ignition, this time by those accusing Israel of genocide while ignoring its existential threats? Did any observer of current events not anticipa...
The new Syrian transitional government has been harassing Palestinian factions in Syria, causing them to pack their bags and leave. Numerous Palestinian terrorist groups, as well as other groups, have operated from Damascus for decades. These have included Palestinian Islamic Jihad, the Popular Front for the Liberation of Palestine-General Command (PFLP-GC), and others. Members of Hamas were also once hosted by Damascus.
On May 3, reports said that officials in Damascus had detained Talal Naji, the head of the PFLP-GC. In late April, the new authorities also detained members of Islamic Jihad. These moves are seen as a way for Syria to crack down on pro-Iranian groups, because the Palestinian terror groups are often pro-Iranian. Iran backed the Assad regime, and Assad backed these Pal...
At one stage of the ensuing תוכחה — Admonition, the Torah describes how after being exiled from the land and scattered among the nations G-d will send timidity into their hearts in the land of their enemies and the sound of a rustling leaf will pursue them…and they will fall, ואין רודף — but there is no one pursuing them.
This aspect of punishment, living in uncertainty, reacting to every sound of a rustling leaf as possibly an attacker approaching, can certainly wither our sense of security and instill crushing anxiety.
But the concluding description of it being a mistaken fear, with only the wind blowing and 'no one pursuing' would seem to be a rather positive outcome.
Better a false alarm than an actual fire!
How is this detail then an eleme...

A federal judge on Friday blocked the Trump administration from cutting off Harvard’s enrollment of foreign students, an action the Ivy League school decried as unconstitutional retaliation for defying the White House’s political demands.
In its lawsuit filed earlier Friday in federal court in Boston, Harvard said the government’s action violates the First Amendment and will have an “immediate and devastating effect for Harvard and more than 7,000 visa holders.”
“With the stroke of a pen, the government has sought to erase a quarter of Harvard’s student body, international students who contribute significantly to the University and its mission,” Harvard said in its suit. “Without its international students, Harvard is not Harvard...
