Same logo, new name. 📢 JNS has changed its name from “Jewish News Syndicate” to “Jerusalem News Syndicate” to reflect our growing scope and audience. What began in 2011 as a modest online newspaper covering the Jewish world has grown into one of the leading news agencies serving Jewish and non-Jewish audiences alike with breaking news coverage, in-depth analysis, features, multimedia and podcasts focusing on the stories most impacting Israel and world Jewry. Headquartered in Jerusalem and supported by a US bureau, JNS now follows the tradition of many mainstream publications: a name on the masthead that reflects the city of its base. For JNS, that city is the Jewish State’s eternal capital, Jerusalem. Follow us: @JNS_org.

If Trump does remain complacent, Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu, who faces elections in September or October, may not. The Israeli electorate no longer believes that Trump has its back, and it wants regime change in Iran. In what is likely Netanyahu’s last election campaign, he will be determined to secure his legacy by eliminating Iran as a threat. by @LSolomonTweets eu1.hubs.ly/H0wKfR80

Israeli PM Benjamin @Netanyahu said Turkey should not receive F-35 fighter jets or the engines for its aircraft, arguing that doing so would upset the balance of power in the Middle East. "I don't think they should be given F-35s or the engines for their fighter jets, because that'll upset the power balance in the Middle East, which is ultimately guaranteed by Israeli air superiority and also by, I think, America's posture in the Middle East."

Did Mayor Zohran Mamdani’s July 4 speech cross a line?

A German advocacy group focused on protecting women and girls in public spaces is drawing attention to what it describes as the impact of mass migration and Islamist violence across Europe. In its latest campaign, the organization cites incidents on Wutski Street in Berlin-Neukölln and at Nuremberg's main train station, linking them to the Rotherham grooming gangs scandal in the United Kingdom. The group argues that these cases point to a broader and systematic threat of sexual violence. As part of the campaign, the group uses the slogan "Obey Allah, or get raped!" and calls for the implementation of consistent remigration policies.

CPJ’s decision to review its Gaza journalist casualty database comes after Hamas and Palestinian Islamic Jihad identified several individuals previously listed as journalists as members of their armed wings.

WHAT YOU NEED TO KNOW: -On July 3, an Iranian civilian aircraft landed at Houthi-controlled Sanaa International Airport, marking what analysts describe as the public re-establishment of the Tehran–Sanaa air bridge, according to YNET. -Flights between Tehran and Sanaa have long symbolized Iran's direct relationship with the Iran-backed Houthis, who say the route will continue operating despite regional threats. - There have been no verified reports that the aircraft carried military equipment or weapons. Public reporting has confirmed only that it transported civilians into Yemen and a senior Houthi delegation to Tehran.

One of these things is not like the others...
