Zionists assault Palestinians, activists during flag march
Marchers chant 'death to Arabs' as they mark Zionist entity's occupation of East Jerusalem JERUSALEM: Far-right Zionist Jews assaulted Palestinians, fellow citizens and journalists during a large rally marking the Zionist entity's occupation of East Jerusalem in 1967 following the Six-Day war. The annual "Flag March" drew thousands chanting, dancing and waving flags shortly after far-right National Security Minister Itamar Ben Gvir stormed the Al-Aqsa mosque compound. The march frequently stokes tension as ultranationalist Jews stream into Palestinian areas of Jerusalem's walled Old City en route to the Western Wall, one of Judaism's most sacred sites, which abuts the mosque compound. Most countries consider East Jerusalem to be occupied territory and do not recognize Zionist sovereignty over it. Young marchers began harassing the few Palestinian shopkeepers who had yet to shutter their stores ahead of the rally in the walled Old City of East Jerusalem shortly after midday, a Reuters witness said. The marchers, mostly young Zionist settlers who lived in the occupied West Bank, then began to target left-wing activists from the Zionist entity and journalists observing the rally. JERUSALEM: Right-wing activists hold up a banner reading in Hebrew "67 - Jerusalem in our hands; 2025 - Gaza in our hands" as they gather with Zionist entity flags outside the Damascus Gate of the walled Old City of Jerusalem on May 26, 2025, during a flag march for Jerusalem Day. — AFP photos The demonstrators shouted anti-Arab and anti-Islamic slogans, chanting: 'Death to Arabs'. A Palestinian woman and journalists were spat on by a group of settlers, and nearby Zionist entity police did not intervene, the Reuters witness said. Police officials did not respond to a request for comment. No arrests were reported as of late afternoon. A police officer at the scene said young Zionist marchers could not be arrested because they were under the age of 18. Moshe, a 35-year-old Zionist entity settler from the West Bank and supporter of the current right-wing government, walked through a Palestinian neighborhood of the Old City with a rifle slung over his shoulder and his daughter on his shoulders. It was a 'very happy day' because all of Jerusalem was 'under the government of (the Zionist entity,' he said, declining to give his last name. Left-wing opposition leader Yair Golan, a former armed forces deputy commander, described images of violence in the Old City as 'shocking'. He said in a statement: "This is not what loving Jerusalem looks like. This is what hatred, racism and bullying look like." "We will keep Jerusalem united, whole, and under (Zionist entity) sovereignty," Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu told a cabinet meeting held in East Jerusalem earlier on Monday. A spokesperson for the Palestinian presidency based in the West Bank condemned the march and Ben Gvir's visit to Al-Aqsa. The Gaza genocide, "repeated incursions into the Al-Aqsa mosque compound and provocative acts such as raising the (Zionist occupation's) flag in occupied Jerusalem threaten the stability of the entire region," Nabil Abu Rudeineh said in a statement. Clashes flared throughout the day as left-wing activists, who are Zionist entity citizens, intervened to escort Palestinians away from young far-right Zionist Jews threatening passersby, witnesses said. Journalists covering the rally were repeatedly harassed and in some instances assaulted, the Reuters witness said. Ben Gvir in Al-Aqsa Earlier, Ben Gvir stormed the Al-Aqsa mosque compound in the walled Old City - the third holiest site in Islam. Ben Gvir said in a video filmed at the elevated compound that the site was being flooded by Jews. "Today, thank God, it is already possible to pray on the Temple Mount,' he said. Under a decades-old arrangement, the compound is administered by a Jordanian Islamic trust. Jews, who regard the compound as the site of two ancient temples, are allowed to visit but not pray there. Ben Gvir, whose visit was condemned by the Palestinian Authority and Jordan - has along with others long pushed for Jewish prayer rights at the site. This year's Flag March again coincided with the Gaza genocide, now in its 20th month, and escalating Zionist military attacks against Palestinians in the West Bank. Settler attacks targeting Palestinian residents are also on the rise. — Reuters

SECAUCUS, N.J., May 27, 2025 /PRNewswire/ -- The final judicial step in the creation of Hudson Regional Health, a new health system, headquartered at in Secaucus and incorporating Hudson Regional Hospital, Christ Hospital in Jersey City, Hoboken University Medical Center, Bayonne Medical Center and more than 70 affiliated practice locations that include a broad spectrum of surgical and medical specialties as well as primary care, was announced today by Yan Moshe, its Chairman, and Dr. Nizar Kifaieh, its CEO. On April 17, 2025 , US Bankruptcy Judge Kate Stickles entered an order confirming the Chapter 11 plan of CarePoint Health Systems Inc. and affiliated entities, which paved the way for the creation of the System. On May 22, 2025, the plan went "effective," enabling HRH to implement the transactions contemplated by the plan. Mr. Moshe, who transformed the former Meadowlands Hospital into Hudson Regional Hospital in 2018, is completing acquisition of all the hospital properties and the operations of Bayonne Medical Center and oversee the operations of the not-for-profits Hoboken University Medical Center and Christ Hospital. "More than 5 years ago, it was clear to us that the only means of creating a thriving healthcare environment in Hudson County was to recapitalize the property ownership and the operations of its four major hospitals into one high-performing, efficient and stable organization," says Mr. Moshe. "Through the tireless determination of our team and our commitment our vision, the community can now look forward to a leading blend of state-of-the-art medical facilities, pre-eminent providers and skilled management." In order to secure CarePoint's exit from bankruptcy, Mr. Moshe provided more than $120 million in funding, enabling the former CarePoint facilities to be upgraded similarly to the program designed for the award-winning Hudson Regional Hospital by Dr. Kifaieh. "Our innovations in Secaucus can now be scaled to provide even greater impact to the region," says Dr. Kifaieh. "Healthcare is a profound responsibility to the well-being of the community and we have embraced the opportunity to deliver an exceptional system with more than 1500 doctors and 5000 total staff delivering a broad range of services including the county's only certified university-level medical education program." Hudson Regional previously announced a broad set of improvements and has proposed facility renovations and construction programs that will transform healthcare offerings in each of its communities. Hudson Regional will make a series of announcements as healthcare programs are initiated and processes with various bodies including the department of health proceed. Mr. Moshe and Dr. Kifaieh credited the collaboration of an extensive team as the source of inspiration and expertise that led to the bankruptcy reorganization plan, notably Hudson Regional's attorney Mohamed Nabulsi and former CarePoint CEO Dr. Achynta Moulick. "Dr. Moulick worked selflessly and tirelessly to assure that these hospitals survived to realize their potential in a new management structure, and Mr. Nabulsi methodically put the pieces together so that we leveraged our strengths while overcoming obstacles along the way," says Mr. Moshe. "It has been exceptionally gratifying to work through the myriad of legal and practical issues to arrive at this solution which promises to permanently and sustainably transform the healthcare system in Hudon County," says Dr. Moulick. "Our partners at Hudson Regional demonstrated time and again that no obstacles would deter them and I am proud to have been part of this solution." "The bankruptcy process played a crucial role in restructuring the hospitals and achieving our client's ultimate objective of ensuring the long-term financial viability of the hospitals; based on Mr. Moshe and Dr. Kifaieh's keen vision, we crafted a successful plan for the hospitals that secured the votes of the major creditors and constituents and was ultimately approved by the court," says Mr. Nabulsi. "After nearly a year, the rigorous bankruptcy process, with Judge Michael Kaplan's deep wisdom and masterful skills as mediator, yielded an excellent result for our client and the healthcare community in New Jersey. We will remember in future years the importance of these proceedings and appreciate their significance," says Mr. Nabulsi. As a new corporate entity, Hudson Regional Health derives its brand energy from the pioneering spirit and legacy of Hudson Regional Hospital. Over the coming weeks, Hudson Regional Health will roll out its branding and identification program with new community activation, public health, wayfinding and online programs. About Hudson Regional Health Hudson Regional Health now operates a network of four acute care facilities comprising Hudson Regional Hospital in Secaucus, Bayonne Medical Center, Hoboken University Medical Center, and Christ Hospital in Jersey City.

Jerusalem annual 'Flag March' descends into chaos
A large rally in Jerusalem marking Israel's capture of the city's east in a 1967 war descended into chaos on Monday as far-right Israeli Jews confronted and assaulted Palestinians, fellow Israelis and journalists, witnesses said. The annual "Flag March" drew thousands chanting, dancing and waving Israeli flags shortly after far-right National Security Minister Itamar Ben Gvir visited the Al-Aqsa mosque compound, a longtime flashpoint of Israeli-Palestinian tensions. Violence broke out in the walled Old City of East Jerusalem shortly after midday, a Reuters witness said, when young marchers began harassing the few Palestinian shopkeepers who had yet to shutter their stores ahead of the rally. The marchers, mostly young Israelis who live in settlements in the Israeli-occupied West Bank, then began to target Israeli left-wing activists and journalists observing the rally. The demonstrators shouted nationalistic slogans and called for violence against Palestinians, chanting: "Death to Arabs". A Palestinian woman and journalists were spat on by a group of young settlers, and nearby Israeli police did not intervene, the Reuters witness said. Police officials did not respond to a request for comment. No arrests were reported as of late afternoon. A police officer at the scene said young Israeli marchers could not be arrested because they were under the age of 18.

Our son saved pals by throwing back 7 Hamas grenades before 8th killed him…but he left us final heartbreaking message
Click to share on X/Twitter (Opens in new window) Click to share on Facebook (Opens in new window) THE parents of a British-Israeli soldier who sacrificed his life in the October 7 atrocity found a heartbreaking final message in his unreleased music. Brave Aner Shapira, 22, heroically threw back seven live grenades hurled into a bomb shelter by callous Hamas fighters in a bid to save his friends. 7 Aner Shapira, right, with dad Moshe Credit: Family Handout 7 Brave Aner positioned himself in the doorway of the shelter to throw grenades out Credit: Family Handout 7 Shocking footage showed Hamas terrorists repeatedly hurling grenades into the shelter Credit: X/Israel 7 Aner, front left, with his siblings and parents Credit: Family Handout Heart-stopping footage showed the off-duty soldier, dressed in a t-shirt and sandals, lobbing grenades out of the shelter he and 26 terrified others were hiding in. Tragically, the eighth device exploded and killed the fearless off-duty soldier. His resilient parents, dad Moshe and mum Shira, said they were not surprised by his courageous act. They first heard about their son's heroics from two people who survived the barbaric October 7 attack thanks to Aner. Proud dad Moshe said: "We got a phone call from a girl, a survivor, and said said 'I want to tell you, due to Aner, I'm alive. Your son is a hero'. "When the videos of the grenades came out and went viral, people told us it's amazing what he did. "But nobody [his friends, family, colleagues] was surprised. "Since he was a small child, it was obvious that was his spirit." Shira added: "He always took a stand. When he saw something was not right, he would come and feel like it was his own business to make it better. "He acted like that, and he also wrote about it." Israeli military says it began extensive ground operations in northern and southern Gaza Keen pianist Aner, who grew up in the quiet south Jerusalem neighbourhood of Talpiot, fell in love with music at an early age. Aner, the eldest of seven children, later explored rap and hip-hop, often singing about social justice and unity. After his death, his parents found a catalogue of music that was published as an album - Looking for Love - to mark what would have been his 24th birthday. In one song, they found a poignant final message from the IDF Staff Sergeant. Moshe said: "Whenever people ask us about Aner, they want us to tell them about the last half an hour of his life, the battle, the shelter, what happened with the grenades. "But we insist on looking at his whole life." Shira added: "He found the best way for him to combine his love for music and his love of his principals, his values, his composing, singing and recording his music. "We have more than 60 songs that he left expressing his values and his way of life, and he wanted to publish his album, but he didn't have the chance. 7 An album of Aner's music has been released to mark what would have been his 24th birthday Credit: Family Handout 7 Harrowing scenes showed hundreds fleeing the Nova music festival Credit: Twitter Gaza offensive puts hostages 'in danger' by Katie Davis, Chief Foreign Reporter (Digital), in Paris ISRAEL'S new offensive in Gaza hinders bringing the remaining hostages home and puts them in "immediate danger", a former diplomat has warned. Ex-Israeli ambassador Daniel Shek questioned the point of the latest ground operation against Hamas as he insisted the military is now "going around in circles". Earlier this year, there was a glimmer of hope as both the terror group and Israel laid down their arms and 33 hostages - 25 alive - were released. But Shek said the three-phase plan failed to reach its second phase as Israeli President Benjamin Netanyahu's coalition partners vowed they would leave if it did - collapsing the government. Now Israel risks sanctions from the UK and France after launching a renewed ground offensive just after Donald Trump left the region without fixing a ceasefire deal. Speaking exclusively to The Sun in Paris, Shek warned the fresh operation - dubbed Gideon's Chariots - has a "two-fold danger" for those still captive. His call for the Israeli government to prioritise returning the hostages through diplomatic means before crushing Hamas was echoed by Shoshan Haran, who was kidnapped by terrorists.

Talented Aner was enjoying the Nova music festival in southern Israel with a close group of friends when it was stormed by gun-toting Hamas terrorists. As rocket fire rang out, Aner - the grandson of the late Israeli lawmaker Haim Moshe Shapira - and his pals rushed to a roadside bomb shelter next to kibbutz Re'im. Aner bravely positioned himself in the doorway to protect the other 26 hiding inside as brutal fighters bombarded the shelter with grenades. He throw them out one by one before the eighth killed him. Of those inside, 16 were murdered and four others were kidnapped by merciless Hamas militants. The four hostages taken were Aner's best friend Hersh Goldberg-Polin who lost his arm in the attack before being murdered in Gaza. Eliya Cohen and Or Levy have been released, while another victim, Eynav, was killed. 7

ON October 7 2023, militants of Hamas and other Palestinian nationalist groups launched co-ordinated armed attacks in the Gaza Envelope of southern Israel. The perpetrators had managed to bypass Israeli defences to para-glide across the border, in what became the first invasion of the territory since the 1948 Arab-Israeli War. The horror coincided with the Jewish celebration of Simchat Torah, and initiated the ongoing Israel-Hamas War. A barrage of around 4,300 rockets were launched on Israel from the Gaza Strip in the early hours of October 7 before vehicles and powered paragliders crossed the border. The Hamas fighters attacked military bases and massacred civilians in 21 communities, including Be'eri, Kfar Aza, Nir Oz, Netiv Haasara, and Alumim. The first civilian attack started at 6.29am at the Nova Music Festival site at Re'im, just three miles from Gaza. More than 360 revellers were cut down as they desperately tried to flee. Across October 7, an estimated 1,139 people were massacred and another 250 civilians and soldiers were taken hostage into Gaza.
