Researchers unearthed a significant section of a Maccabean-period city wall on the grounds of the Tower of David, the Israel Antiquities Authority announced on Monday.
Still less than half its original height, at over 40 meters long and about five meters high, the wall section is one of the longest and most intact walls of its type discovered in Jerusalem.
“The wall is meticulously built of large, heavy stones, with a chiseled boss typical of this period,” said Dr. Amit Re’im and Dr. Marion Zindel, Excavation Directors on behalf of the Israel Antiquities Authority. "Originally, the massive wall rose to a height of more than ten meters! But today, only a stump remains. During the Second Temple period, the Hasmonean city wall also surrounded Mount Zion, whe...

The Supreme Court seems likely to expand presidential control over independent federal agencies, signaling support for President Donald Trump’s firing of board members.
During arguments on Monday, the court’s conservative majority suggested it would overturn a 90-year-old decision that has limited when presidents can fire agencies’ board members, or leave it with only its shell intact.
Lawyers for the administration are defending Trump’s decision to fire Federal Trade Commission member Rebecca Slaughter without cause and calling on the court to jettison the unanimous 1935 decision known as Humphrey’s Executor.
The court’s six conservative justices already have signaled strong support for the administration&...

This week it was revealed that the Guinness World Records organization is boycotting Israel. The nonprofit Matnat Chaim (Gift of Life) contacted Guinness headquarters requesting to register a record of 2,000 kidney donors, and received a rejection due to the company’s policy toward Israel and the war.
One could certainly argue that this itself breaks a Guinness record … for hypocrisy! One could also marvel at the very achievement Israel sought to register, not the world’s heaviest man, not the person with the longest mustache, but a record of kindness and solidarity.
The rejection, which Israel’s Foreign Ministry is working to overturn, was received by Matnat Chaim just as they concluded a celebratory Shabbat. It turns out that since the war began, two things hap...

President Herzog: “Delegitimizing the Jewish people’s right to their ancient homeland legitimizes violence and undermines freedom of religion. This is both anti-Jewish and anti-American.
At the 101st Annual Hanukkah Dinner of Yeshiva University in New York, where he was awarded an Honorary Doctorate, President Isaac Herzog delivered a wide-ranging and forceful address that confronted the global surge in antisemitism and condemned extremist rhetoric in New York City.

Trump for his leadership in securing the return of hostages from Gaza and advancing a new regional diplomatic vision.
