HEADLINES
US F-22s bolster Israel against Iran
DOJ sues UCLA over antisemitism Title VII
Coast Guard members reinstated with back pay
The time is now 7:01 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, the United States dispatched F-22 stealth jets to Israel in a rare display of force announced ahead of Geneva talks, signaling that Washington and Jerusalem remain closely coordinated and could act in concert to deter Iran. The move is described as aimed at pressuring Iran toward negotiations while underscoring a joint posture against its regional proxies. A Hebrew-language report adds that the arrival has sharpened discussion about the window of opportunity for US action against Iran and the potential regional impact, including security concerns in the Tel Aviv area. In Washington, Senator Ted Cruz told CNBC that he pressed the president to avoid missing a critical moment, arguing the regime is weaker than ever and calling for support for protesters and potentially limited strikes within days, while stressing there would be no US ground forces. Republican lawmakers and a GOP Senate social-media post signaled similar warnings about Iran’s nuclear ambitions and the consequences of past mistakes.
In Antisemitism and Anti-Jewish Hate, the US Department of Justice, under the Trump administration, filed a federal lawsuit on February 24, 2026, against the University of California system, specifically targeting UCLA. The suit alleges the university violated Title VII of the Civil Rights Act by allowing and failing to address an antisemitic hostile work environment affecting Jewish and Israeli faculty and staff.
In Uplifting News, BACK ON BOARD: 56 US Coast Guard members forced out over a Biden-era COVID-19 vaccine mandate will be reinstated with back pay, marking what DHS Secretary Noem called a major victory for religious, personal and medical freedom. In Bwindi Impenetrable National Park, Uganda, the first-ever census counted 426 chimpanzees, a finding that conservationists say strengthens evidence-based planning and investments in a UNESCO World Heritage site spanning about 320 square kilometers. The census was conducted with support from the Jane Goodall Institute and aims to inform conservation investments.
