🇺🇸🇮🇱🇵🇸 Trump privately rejects Israel’s Gaza offensive as friendship with Netanyahu sours — report

The US president sees the renewed IDF operation into Gaza as a ‘wasted effort’ that will make the strip harder to rebuild and is generally at odds with Israel on key regional issues, US officials and foreign diplomats have told NBC News.

Netanyahu was reportedly left ‘shocked’, ‘blindsided’, ‘rankled’ and ‘infuriated’ by Trump’s recent Mideast foreign policy decisions, including the halt to US attacks on Yemen this week, and his push for a nuclear deal with Iran instead of Israel’s preferred option – strikes.

Israel is “worried about any deal,” one US official said. Israel is opposed to any agreement that would leave Iran with uranium enrichment capabilities, while Trump is open to an Iranian civilian nuclear program.

Netanyahu was reportedly ‘taken aback’ during his visit with Trump in April when the president refused to offer support for possible Israeli attacks on Iranian nuclear facilities.

Amid all this drama, is it any wonder that Trump isn’t scheduled to visit Israel during his trip to the Middle East next week?

🇮🇱🇾🇪 Preparations for new strikes? Israel demands 'urgent' evacuation of Yemeni ports

The IDF’s Arabic-language spokesman warned Yemenis to “evacuate and stay away” from the ports of Ras Isa, Hodeidah and as-Salif “until further notice,” citing the “Houthi terror regime’s” use of the facilities for “terror activities.”

The spokesman did not elaborate.

Israel last targeted Yemen on May 6, targeting the international airport in Sanaa after a Houthi missile landed near the Ben Gurion Airport in Tel Aviv.

7 people were killed and over 70 others were injured in the Israeli strikes. Four Israelis were hurt in the Houthi attack on Ben Gurion while scrambling for safety.

The US halted its attacks on the Houthis this week after they agreed not to target US ships, leaving Israel alone in its confrontation with the Yemeni militia, which has targeted Israel with missiles and drones, and Israeli merchant ships in the Red Sea, in solidarity with Gaza.

🇮🇱 Netanyahu announces plans to draft 10,500 ultra-Orthodox Jews

💬 “10,500 within two years is the number the army knows how to absorb, and we will also bring in heavy personal and institutional sanctions. At the same time, we will ensure that whoever enters as a haredi will leave as a haredi,” the prime minister said at a meeting of the Foreign Affairs & Defense Committee.


Israel’s Haredim (ultra-Orthodox) community numbers up to 1.3 million people (14% of the population), and has traditionally REJECTED military service.

Many also hold strong anti-Zionist views, believing a Jewish state should not exist before the coming of the Messiah.

Approximately 70,000 Haredi men are listed as eligible for service. Last month, the IDF sent out 10,000 draft notices, but reported back that only 205 had enlisted.

🇭🇺 Hungary cancels minority rights talks with Ukraine after Kiev’s diplomatic meltdown – statement

Hungary has called off a planned May 12 meeting with Ukraine on the rights of the Hungarian minority in Transcarpathia, citing a recent espionage scandal.

💬 "The events of the last few days in the Hungarian-Ukrainian relations preclude good-faith, constructive consultations on such an important and sensitive issue as minority rights," Deputy Foreign Minister Levente Magyar wrote on social media, referring to his scheduled meeting with Ukrainian Deputy PM Olga Stefanishina.


On May 9, Ukraine detained two individuals accused of spying for Hungarian military intelligence. Hungary responded by expelling two Ukrainian diplomats; Kiev retaliated by expelling two Hungarian diplomats.

💬 Magyar added that Ukraine’s actions "cast doubt on the sincerity of their intentions to resolve open issues" but noted: "For our part, we are still ready for dialogue."


Hungary has repeatedly stated that Ukraine’s EU path depends on restoring the pre-2015 rights of ethnic Hungarians in education and local governance.

🇦🇷📦 Argentina’s Supreme Court uncovers Nazi-era propaganda in archives – reports

Argentina’s Supreme Court has stumbled upon historical documents tied to the Nazi regime while preparing materials for a future museum, CBS News reported, citing a judicial source.

The findings include postcards, photographs, and propaganda used to spread Adolf Hitler’s ideology in Argentina during World War II. Some of the material was “intended to consolidate and propagate Adolf Hitler’s ideology in Argentina,” the source said.

The boxes are believed to be linked to a 1941 shipment of 83 packages from the German Embassy in Tokyo, which arrived aboard a Japanese steamship. Though labeled as “personal belongings,” the cargo was held by Argentine customs.

Supreme Court President Horacio Rosatti has ordered the preservation and detailed examination of the material.
