[BREAKING] FBI thwarts attack on the Israeli consulate in New York The #FBI arrested Abdullah Izz ad-Din Taha Muhammad Hassan, a resident of Virginia, on suspicion of planning an attack against the #Israeli consulate in New York. According to the indictment, Hassan was exposed after he gave an undercover agent detailed instructions regarding the construction and planting of a bomb. Israel's Consul General in New York, Ofir Akunis, responded that "the State of Israel appreciates the rapid action and cooperation with the American authorities to thwart the attack on the consulate building in New York. The attempted attack by the terrorist organizations is an attack against the entire State of Israel. This is further proof that international terrorism has no borders and must be fought - in every arena and at all times. Its threat is directed against the entire Western world and against the values ​​it represents, and the cooperation of all Western democracies against its threats must be increased." 'It was only a matter of time after the Biden administration allowed Islamists and Leftist protesters to freely incite violence against Israel and Jews that we would begin to see actual terrorism on American soil.'

#Syria

Shock in Europe! Russian army in Libya The #Russian army has transferred all their equipment from #Syria to #Libya, in the eastern part controlled by General Haftar and by them. This includes the advanced missiles, fighter jets, warships, submarines and surveillance means. This is a shock to# Europe, as the Russians will now militarily threaten Italy, Greece, Spain and other countries. It is also a shock to the Sultan, who supports the opposing forces in "Libya", who sees the move as a threat. For #Israel, it will now be much calmer. Bye, bye to the circus that ended in disgrace which ends half a century of support for the Assad family's criminal gang, allowing Iran to use it against Israel.

Government Shutdown Looms as Deadline Nears The House of Representatives has rejected a stopgap funding bill backed by President-elect Donald Trump, leaving negotiations in a race against tonight’s midnight deadline. With 38 Republicans joining Democrats, the vote of 235 to 174 has put the federal government on the brink of a shutdown. The Sticking Points - Trump’s proposed resolution included three months of stopgap funding, a two-year debt ceiling suspension, $100 billion in disaster aid, and farmer support packages. This followed his controversial call to permanently repeal the debt ceiling, a rule that currently caps Treasury borrowing at $36 trillion. The debt ceiling suspension, enacted in June 2023, is set to expire on January 1, 2025. Its fate now hangs in the balance as lawmakers scramble to prevent the shutdown. Potential Impact - A government #shutdown would furlough millions of federal workers, though essential services like military operations and air traffic control would remain active.
