Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu met on Monday evening with US President Donald Trump in Washington, their third meeting this year.
At the start of the meeting, Netanyahu presented Trump with a letter he had sent to the Nobel Peace Prize Committee, recommending Trump for the award.
Netanyahu was asked about Trump's plan for Gaza, which he presented several months ago and would see Gazans voluntarily leave the Strip while it is being rehabilitated.
"I think President Trump has a great idea: free choice. If people want to stay, let them stay, and if they want to leave, let them leave. We are working with the United States to find countries that offer a better future for the Palestinians. We are getting closer and closer to finding such countries. The Palestinians should have the fre...

Shabbat with Agam Berger
The accompanying photo of me with Agam and Meirav Berger was taken on Motzaei Shabbat. When Agam was a hostage in Gaza, the Kesher Yehudi organization arranged so many Shabbatot in her merit, and now Agam herself participated in a Kesher Yehudi Shabbaton — a special Shabbat of gratitude.
Here are some highlights:
On Shabbat afternoon, Agam and her family had a Q&A session with hundreds of graduates of pre-military programs. In answer to the question what gave Agam strength during her captivity she said, “My faith. It was clear to me that there must be some meaning to what I was going through. I knew that God was with me and that I had a special role to play.”
On Friday night, participants attend a “tisch” with the c...

Jerusalem, Israel - July 7, 2025 - Tzeela Gez was murdered by a terrorist in May while en route to the hospital to give birth to her fourth child. Her name was in headlines across the world, aghast at the cruelty. What was not shared for the sake of privacy were details or ages of her husband and three children, who would now have to find a way to go on without the pillar of their family.
One of those children is entering the first grade in the fall. For children throughout Israel, this is a very major milestone as the jump from preschool to elementary education frameworks is significant. For families across Israel, there is now a parent missing to make this milestone the empowering celebration that it should be.

Baltimore, MD - July 7, 2025 - This past Friday, about 35 students from Immanuel College in London visited Sterling Care Assisted Living. Their goal was to brighten the day of the seniors while on their Year 9 America Trip. They spent time getting to know the residents, and entertained with lively singing and dancing.
Although from very different cultures and age brackets, there was an instant connection that was felt in the room. There was laughing. hugging, and even an occasional tear of joy. The Jewish people are one- no matter where we live, how we look, or what our age might be. This visit demonstrated the achdus of klal Yisroel.
