The United Kingdom on Tuesday announced it would pause free trade talks with Israel after Prime Minister Keir Starmer said he was horrified by the military escalation in Gaza. The UK also announced further sanctions and said it will summon the country's ambassador.
"While the UK government remains committed to the existing trade agreement in force, it is not possible to advance discussions on a new, upgraded Free Trade Agreement with a Netanyahu government that is pursuing egregious policies in the West Bank and Gaza," the government said in a statement.

Additionally, the UK will place sanctions on a number of individuals and groups in the West Bank, who it said have "supported, incited and promoted violence against Palestinian communities...
Delta Air Lines says it will resume daily nonstop flights to Tel Aviv from New York’s JFK airport starting today.
“The decision to resume the route on May 20, which was temporarily suspended in response to ongoing conflict in the region, follows an extensive security risk assessment by the airline,” Delta says in a statement. “Delta is continuously monitoring the evolving security environment and assessing operations based on security guidance and intelligence reports.”
The US carrier says a travel waiver will be valid for customers who purchased tickets to Tel Aviv on or before May 5 for travel through May 25.
On May 4, Delta halted all flights to Tel Aviv after a ballistic missile from Yemen struck an area of Israel’s main international airport.

A mother’s letter. A child’s fight. Shira urgently needs life-saving care. You can help - but only if we act now.
My name is Bracha, and I’m writing not only as a mother, but as someone who deeply believes in the quiet power of kindness.
My daughter Shira is a bright, tender-hearted little girl. She’s been diagnosed with leukemia — a cancer of the blood. Her eyesight has already been affected, and the emotional toll on our family has been immense.
Shira is currently receiving care in a local hospital in Poland, but doctors have urged us to transfer her to a specialized children's hospital in Vienna. There, she can receive the advanced, life-saving treatment she urgently needs.
The cost of this treatment is over $150,000 — far beyond anything we ...
The Israel Defense Forces Coordinator of Government Activities in the Territories (COGAT) said that aid trucks had entered the Gaza Strip on Monday, following the recommendation of military officials.
This shipment, consisting mainly of baby food and essential products, was subjected to thorough security control, COGAT said.
"The IDF will continue to facilitate humanitarian assistance in the Gaza Strip while making every effort to ensure that the aid does not reach Hamas."
This resumption of deliveries comes after the decision of the Israeli security cabinet to again allow the transport of humanitarian aid in the face of increasing international concerns about the situation of Palestinian civilians. No aid has entered since March 1.
Alongside this announcement, protests of an unu...
Israel - Hamas War day 592: Qatar's Prime Minister Mohammed bin Abdulrahman Al Thani, who is also the country's foreign minister, said that Doha blames Israel for not ending the "tragic war."
He said that Qatar "expected the tragedy to end after the release of Edan Alexander, but the continued attacks are harming the chances for peace. Despite the efforts of Qatar, Egypt, and the United States to end the tragic war, we are witnessing the failure of efforts to achieve calm, due to Israel's irresponsible and aggressive behavior, which limits any chance of peace."
US Special Envoy for Hostages Adam Boehler said at the Jerusalem Post Conference in New York that he believes a deal between Israel and Hamas is "getting closer and closer," adding that, if Hamas wants to come ...
The Torah tells us in this week's parsha Parshas Bechukosai:
"Im bechukosai teileichu v’es mitzvosai tishmoru va’asishem osam" — If you go in My statutes, and observe My commandments, and perform them…
Rashi famously explains that "going in Hashem’s statutes" means toiling in Torah — not just learning passively, but putting in real effort.
There’s a powerful story told about the Chofetz Chaim. A young man came to him, disheartened. “Rebbe,” he said, “I’ve been learning for years. I’ve worked hard, but I haven’t become the Torah scholar I hoped to be.”
The Chofetz Chaim looked at him gently and asked: “Is there a mitzvah to become a gaon? The mitzvah is to work hard in Torah. If you’re ...
Jerusalem, Israel - May 20, 2025 - It feels like things are falling apart, right? Like the entire world is closing in and turning on us, right?
It feels like we are alone and with no end in sight. Like we are being punished and isolated because we just want to exist, right? Like there’s no light at the end of the (terror) tunnel.
So let me reassure you, that feeling? Don’t worry,
I feel it too. We all do. Want to know why? Because the media wants you to feel that.
The media wants to isolate Israel and create tension between the US and Israel, tension that does not exist in real life.
But let’s just make some order here.

Yemen’s Houthi rebels claim they will enforce a “naval blockade” of Haifa port, warning that ships heading there are now “targets.”
The Houthis will “begin working to enforce a naval blockade of the port of Haifa,” says military spokesman Yehya Saree. “All companies with ships present in or heading to this port are hereby notified that, as of the time of this announcement, the aforementioned port has been included in the target bank.”
The Houthis have claimed a similar blocked of Ben Gurion Airport, but have not come close to such a goal, even in light of a recent missile attack on the airport that caused a slew of foreign carriers to cancel their routes.
Acting U.S. Attorney for the District of New Jersey Alina Habba is charging Rep. LaMonica McIver for her alleged misconduct toward law enforcement in front of Delaney Hall earlier this month, but she is dismissing the trespassing charge against Newark Mayor Ras Baraka.

Statement by Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu
Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu, this evening (Monday, 19 May 2025):
"By asking Israel to end a defensive war for our survival before Hamas terrorists on our border are destroyed and by demanding a Palestinian state, the leaders in London, Ottawa and Paris are offering a huge prize for the genocidal attack on Israel on October 7 while inviting more such atrocities.
The war began on October 7 when Palestinian terrorists stormed our borders, murdered 1,200 innocent people and abducted over 250 more innocents to the dungeons of Gaza.
Israel accepts President Trump's vision and urges all European leaders to do the same. The war can end tomorrow if the remaining hostages are released, Hamas lays down its arms, its murderous leaders...
The leaders of the United Kingdom, France and Canada issued a joint statement Monday condemning Israel’s handling of the humanitarian situation in Gaza and calling on the Jewish state to immediately halt military action in the enclave and allow in more aid, threatening “further concrete actions in response” if Jerusalem refuses.
The three leaders called Israel’s announcement Sunday to allow a limited amount of aid into Gaza “wholly inadequate” and said the country’s failure to assist the Gazan civilian population “is unacceptable and risks breaching International Humanitarian Law.”
Netanyahu hit back in a statement, saying London, Paris and Ottawa were “offering a huge prize for the genocidal attack on Israel...
Baltimore, MD – May 19, 2025 – 5:38PM – Smith Avenue is currently closed in both directions just past the Beazer entrance due to an accident. Drivers are advised to avoid the area and seek alternate routes.
Baltimore, MD - May 19, 2025 - On Monday, with C4 and Bryan Nehman, Baltimore Police Commissioner Richard Worley said historic reductions in violent crime across the city are the result of strategic partnerships, a shift in police culture, and strong leadership across multiple agencies.
Speaking in-studio, Worley highlighted the success of the Group Violence Reduction Strategy.
“I think it plays a huge part because it’s a partnership,” Worley said. “That’s the only way we’re gonna succeed in Baltimore. No one entity can do it themselves, so you’ve gotta have everyone working together. The group Violence Reduction Strategy has the mayor, police commissioner, and state’s attorney all working together, but under...
