My dad @SteveWitkoff has always been my hero, the kind of man who leads quietly, works tirelessly, and puts others before himself. But seeing him help bring hostages home reminded the world of what I’ve known my whole life: his heart, his strength, and his faith move mountains.…


Rabbi Shalom Landau responds to his Jewish critics for hosting Zohran Mamdani at his sukkah: “We think our voices decide who wins. That's wrong. God does. “We have a mission in exile to live among the nations.. “Our strength in exile isn't protest. It’s the Torah.”

My inbox this morning is a running feed of more than 600 identical pro-Cuomo emails — part of an organized campaign I'm cc'd on — addressed to Rabbi Shalom Landau for hosting Zohran Mamdani at his Sukkah in Williamsburg.

Is he getting the Sixth Hakafah?! With a government shutdown, I guess he can use a עוזר דלים...



Lapid’s speech full of praise for Trump hit the target. Trump calls Lapid a “very nice man.” Turns to Netanyahu: “Now you can be a little bit nicer, Bibi — because you're not at war anymore.” Epic.

Trump calls Lapid a “very nice man.” 

Turns to Netanyahu: “Now you can be a little bit nicer, Bibi  — because you're not at war anymore.” 

Epic.

Looks like Trump’s staying in the Knesset for Simchat Torah hakafot tonight.


After much praise from Israeli leaders, Trump is at ease. We are now up to Javanka stories. "Jared loves [Israel] so much that my daughter converted.. I didn’t know this was going to happen... they are so happy. At least, I think they're happy."


Trump calls Steve Witkoff the "Henry Kissinger who doesn't leak."


Trump strikes positive tone toward Netanyahu: "I want to express my gratitude to a man of exceptional courage and patriotism, whose partnership did so much to make this momentous day possible. "You know who I'm talking about. There's only one: PM Benjamin Netanyahu."


Lapid: "I say to all those who demonstrated against Israel... I am the leader of the opposition, and I tell you, you were deceived.. Now that the war has stopped, you have time & a chance to go and learn the facts. The truth is, there was no genocide, no intentional starvation."

Netanyahu reiterates his commitment to the deal: "Mr. President, you are committed to this peace. I am committed to this peace... "I extend my hand to hold those who seek peace with us."

🚨Scoop: A dramatic meeting last Wednesday between President Trump's envoys Steve Witkoff and Jared Kushner and Hamas leaders headed by Khalil al-Hayya helped seal the Gaza peace deal. My story on @axios axios.com/2025/10/13/gaz…


Trump stood up to applaud Netanyahu at the start of the Knesset session, with members of the coalition cheering the premier. Chants of "Bibi, Bibi" were also heard. Trump didn't stand up when Herzog and Oppo Leader Lapid were acknowledged.
