HEADLINES
Graham urges strike on Iran despite warnings
Israeli jets strike Rafah in night raid
Editorial flags Carlson Huckabee talk on antisemitism
The time is now 11:01 PM in New York, I'm Noa Levi and this is the latest Israel Today: Ongoing War Report.
In the conflict with Iran and its Regional Proxies, Sen. Lindsey Graham reportedly told Axios that several people close to President Trump are advising against bombing Iran, but he has urged the president to ignore those voices and push forward, arguing the United States should act despite internal warnings against military strikes. US envoy Steve Witkoff said President Trump is questioning why Iran has not capitulated under mounting US pressure, including a significant naval buildup in the region, and why Tehran has not come forward to clearly state it does not seek a nuclear weapon. Did you know? Iran under the Shah gave women the right to vote eight years before Switzerland — then the radical regime crushed those freedoms.
In the Disputed Territories (Gaza, Judea and Samaria, East Jerusalem), the Israeli air force conducted a series of night strikes on Rafah.
In Antisemitism and Anti-Jewish Hate, an editorial argues that the Trump administration deserves credit for recognizing the seriousness of antisemitism on the Right and the Israel divide feeding it, but invitations are not enough. It notes that arranging an on-camera conversation between Tucker Carlson and US Ambassador to Israel Mike Huckabee was not a throwaway gesture but a recognition that the issue is very real and being taken seriously. The piece also cites criticism of prominent Republicans, including JD Vance, for avoiding direct confrontation with right-wing antisemitic rhetoric, even as they posture as champions of moral clarity.
