IN TODAY'S NEWSLETTER:
- Columbia University disciplines 70 students more than a year after violent library takeover- AOC campaign office vandalized with anti-Israel message- House resolution aims to condemn phrase that's created firestorm for Zohran Mamdani
TOP STORY: Columbia University on Monday finally disciplined more than 70 students for their involvement in unruly pro-Palestine demonstrations that took place on campus several months ago, sources revealed to Fox News Tuesday. The "disruptions," which Columbia also referred to as "high-volume events," included the May 7 riots at Butler Library, an encampment during Alumni Weekend in spring 2024, and three other chaotic events in spring 2024. Disciplinary actions included probation, suspensions (ranging from one year to three years), degree revocations and expulsions.

UNLIKELY TARGET: Police in New York City responded after a campaign office for Rep. Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez was vandalized with a painted anti-Israel slogan this weekend. The incident came just days after Ocasio-Cortez voted against legislation from Rep. Marjorie Taylor Greene, R-Ga., that would have cut funding for the Israeli Defense Forces.
THE PHRASE THAT SLAYS: A bipartisan House duo is teaming up for a resolution to urge elected leaders in the U.S. to condemn the phrase "globalize the intifada." The legislation, being led by Reps. Josh Gottheimer, D-N.J., and Rudy Yakym, R-Ind., would condemn the phrase "as a call to violence against Israeli and Jewish people across the world."
GUEST EDITORIAL: Jonathan Harounoff, Israel's international spokesperson at the UN, writes that Iran's Jews are caught in the crossfire of the regime's propaganda war. Following the 12-day war, regime forces detained dozens of Jews in Tehran and Shiraz. "This was not just a crackdown, but a calculated move to isolate and intimidate an already vulnerable community," writes Harounoff.
QUOTE OF THE WEEK: "Condemning it should be common sense, but some would rather play politics than tell the truth. The violence and hatred directed at Jewish and Israeli people is reprehensible." U.S. Rep. Rudy Yakym, R-Ind., on the anti-Semitic phrase "Globalize the intifada."

Netanyahu moves to fire attorney general prosecuting him for corruption
Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu's government unanimously voted Monday to fire Attorney General Gali Baharav-Miara, who is currently prosecuting him for corruption. Why it matters: This is the first time an Israeli government has ever voted to fire an attorney general. The move sparked immediate accusations Netanyahu was seeking to protect himself and his aides. In addition to prosecuting Netanyahu in his ongoing trial, Baharav-Miara is also investigating his advisers' alleged Qatar connections. The resolution is one in a series of challenges to Israel's democratic institutions under Netanyahu, which pre-dated the war in Gaza and have continued during it. Yes, but: Before the cabinet vote, the supreme court told the government this procedure for firing the attorney general was inappropriate and made clear it would issue an injunction if it passed. Therefore, the firing will not come into effect until the supreme court rules on the immediate appeals against it. What to watch: While the supreme court is likely to rule against the government, Netanyahu and his loyalists pushed this move to rally their political base, delegitimize the attorney general and put pressure on her to resign. Several cabinet ministers said Baharav-Miara will now be boycotted. She'll no longer be invited to meetings and her legal opinions will be disregarded. The current clash could reignite a constitutional crisis and plunge the country back into the political turmoil that gripped it before the Oct. 7 Hamas attacks. Catch up quick: Netanyahu is standing trial for charges of bribery, fraud and breach of trust in three separate cases. He's accused of accepting more than $200,000 in gifts from wealthy businessmen, and of granting regulatory benefits worth hundreds of millions of dollars to a telecom tycoon in exchange for favorable news coverage. He denies those accusations. The trial has stretched on for four years, in part due to Netanyahu's repeated legal delay tactics. The former head of Israel's Shin Bet security agency has accused the prime minister of trying to use executive powers to stall the case. Netanyahu did not participate in the vote to remove Baharav-Miara. What they are saying: Justice Minister Yariv Levin denied on Monday that the decision was connected to Netanyahu's trial and claimed that the government had reached a "red line" in its "confrontational" relationship with the attorney general. Baharv-Miara said in a letter she sent to the cabinet ministers prior to the vote that the unprecedented decision would allow any future government to fire the attorney general for political reasons. She warned that her removal could influence Netanyahu's trial and other criminal investigations against cabinet members.

Emaciated hostage's voice was so weak in Hamas video dad couldn't recognize him, his brother says
TEL AVIV — When Hamas released a video of Evyatar David, he looked so frail and emaciated that their father did not recognize his voice, the Israeli hostage's brother said Monday. David, now 24, was partying at the Nova music festival in southern Israel on Oct. 7, 2023, when militants kidnapped him and 250 others nationwide during their sweeping, terrorist attack that saw 1,200 killed. Hamas prompted further international outcry this weekend when it posted footage of a markedly frail David alongside that of starving Palestinians — suffering from chronic food shortages under Israel's military operation and intensified blockade — in what his family sees as an attempt to use him as a propaganda tool. 'It breaks my parents' hearts,' his older brother, Ilay David, 28, on Monday told NBC News in Tel Aviv about Galia and Avishay David. He said he can't bring himself to watch the video, but his family has likened his brother's physical condition to images from the Holocaust. 'It looks like pictures we all know from history class 80 years ago,' said Ilay David, who before the attack worked as a youth counselor but now is focused full time on bringing his brother home. The hostages were ' being kept in a near-death situation,' Ilay David said, adding that his brother 'can barely speak' and he was so weak that their father couldn't recognize his voice. He added that his brother 'needs medical care right now, and if I am not able to speak about him, advocate for him, he may not survive.' The widespread starvation now playing out in Gaza has killed at least 170 people, 90 of them children, according to the Palestinian Health Ministry. There are around 20 hostages believed still alive after almost three years in captivity, according the latest Israeli tally. Among them is David, who his brother described as a 'brilliant guitar player' with the 'kindest soul I know.' Ilay David added. 'I love him and he's my best friend.' Ilay David spoke out after President Donald Trump's envoy to the Middle East, Steve Witkoff, met with families of the hostages Saturday and emphasized the administration's commitment to returning those still inside Gaza. Benjamin Netanyahu also spoke 'at length' with David's family Saturday night, expressing 'deep shock' at the recordings released by Hamas, the Israeli prime minister's office said in a statement. He blamed Hamas for 'deliberately starving' hostages and Palestinians by 'preventing them from receiving aid.' Almost 61,000 people have been killed since the start of Israel's military campaign, according to Palestinian health officials. Recent international outcry about widespread malnutrition in the enclave has prompted Israel to pause fighting and let some aid in — but aid agencies say it's not enough. David's brother blamed the terror group for using 'him cynically in their own starvation campaign,' and calling it the 'peak of cruelty.' Ilay David said they are 'worse than al Qaeda' and 'worse than ISIS,' two of the major terrorist groups that have brought misery to the Middle East in recent decades. David 'still has faith, still has hope, that's what holds him sure,' his brother said. 'When he comes back — not if he comes back — we're going to take care of him, support him and he will be greater than before.'
