Hello,
My name is Bracha, and I'm the mother of Shira - a sweet and brave little Israeli girl.
Shira is suffering from a serious medical condition, and we need urgent treatment to help her recover.
As her mother, I’m doing everything I can, but our situation is very difficult, and we have large expenses for treatments and medications that we cannot afford on our own.
With a heavy heart, I am reaching out to ask for your help.
Every donation, no matter how small, brings us one step closer to providing Shira with the care she desperately needs.
It’s not easy to ask, but Shira needs this so much, and I don’t know what to do without your help.
With endless gratitude,
Bracha

The cease-fire has taken effect, and the pace of foreign airlines returning to Israel is accelerating. Following Lufthansa and British Airways, Air France announced that it would begin flying again on Saturday, and the Italian airline ITA Airways also plans to resume flights to Ben Gurion Airport starting February 1. The return of these airlines will not only impact flight prices to European destinations but also expand options for flights to the United States, a highly sought-after route that has been exclusively operated by El Al for a long time.
The United Nations Office for the Coordination of Humanitarian Affairs (OCHA) said nearly 900 aid trucks entered the Gaza Strip on Tuesday, the third day of a ceasefire between Israel and Hamas terrorists.
OCHA cited information received from Israeli authorities and the guarantors for the ceasefire agreement - the United States, Egypt, and Qatar.
“Up to now - these two first days of entry - there [have] been no reports of looting or attacks against aid workers,” OCHA spokesperson Jens Laerke said.
According to a UN report, certain periods of the war saw “as little as 50 trucks per day” entering Gaza.
“At long last, aid at scale is entering,” Laerke said, “At long last, more hostages were released and can be reunited wit...
Rep. Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez (D-NY) has been accused of "Jewsplaining" after she attacked the Anti-Defamation League (ADL) for stating that Elon Musk did not make a Nazi salute at the inauguration of US President Donald Trump yesterday (Monday), the New York Post reported.
“Just to be clear, you are defending a Heil Hitler salute that was performed and repeated for emphasis and clarity," Ocasio-Cortez wrote to the ADL on X. “People can officially stop listening to you as any sort of reputable source of information now. You work for them. Thank you for making that crystal clear to all."
The ADL had written in response to the controversy surrounding the gesture Musk made at the inauguration, "It seems that [Musk] made an awkward gesture in a moment of enthu...

The joint venture, called Stargate, will see each company initially commit $100 billion and will kick off with the building of a data center in Texas, which Oracle CEO Larry Ellison said w...

Attorneys general from 22 states sued Tuesday to block President Donald Trump’s move to end a century-old immigration practice known as birthright citizenship guaranteeing that U.S.-born children are citizens regardless of their parents’ status.
Trump’s roughly 700-word executive order, issued late Monday, amounts to a fulfillment of something he’s talked about during the presidential campaign. But whether it succeeds is far from certain amid what is likely to be a lengthy legal battle over the president’s immigration policies and a constitutional right to citizenship.
The Democratic attorneys general and immigrant rights advocates say the question of birthright citizenship is settled law and that while presidents have broad authority, they ar...

Elice Stefanik, incoming US ambassador to the United Nations, participated on Tuesday at a hearing, during which, Democratic Senator Chris Van Hollen asked, "Do you subscribe to the views of [Israeli] Finance Minister Smotrich and former National Security Minister Ben-Gvir who believe that Israel has a biblical right to the entire West Bank, and in that conversation you told me that you share that view. Is that your view today?”
Stefanik replied: "Yes."
She went on to say that she believes that, “the US must stand with Israel's decision to ban Hamas-infiltrated UNRWA from operating in Israel, the West Bank, and Gaza. UNRWA staff participated in the heinous terrorist attacks on October 7th, its headquarters housed an underground Hamas data center, and Hamas leader Yahya S...
During his visit to the World Economic Forum in Davos, President Isaac Herzog participated in a keynote discussion, interviewed by journalist Fareed Zakaria.*Key excerpts from the President’s remarks:*On the Iranian threat: “The source of evil that emanates and covers us all starts with terror, especially with Iranian instigated terror. This is the strategic issue above everything. Each proxy you deal with: the Houthis, Hezbollah, Hamas, in Iraq and so forth and so on. It is all supported, financed, organized, commanded, control, trained by Iran. This empire of evil in Tehran is still spending billions, and I have news for you and the entire universe. They are working day in, day out, even now, rather than soul-searching, looking in the mirror, seeing how they failed, and how m...
