Israel Envoy Slams NYC Mayor Over Oct. 7 Anniversary Remarks

Israeli Ambassador Yechiel Leiter strongly condemned New York City Mayor Zuhraan Mamdani for remarks made on the three-year anniversary of the October 7th attack. Mamdani had accused Israel of genocide in Gaza. Leiter called Mamdani's statement a distortion of reality that protects terrorism and promotes antisemitism. He emphasized that the war began with Hamas's atrocities and that Israel is acting in self-defense. The ambassador warned that such rhetoric undermines Israel's legitimacy and fuels anti-Jewish sentiment globally.

Antisemitism is the Oldest Conspiracy Theory, Adapting Like a Virus

Jonathan Greenblatt, CEO of the Anti-Defamation League, stated that antisemitism is the oldest conspiracy theory, adapting like a virus and resurging due to global polarization, distrust in institutions, and exploitation of open systems. He highlighted social media and AI as key accelerators, criticizing algorithms and flawed AI training data for amplifying harmful content. Greenblatt called for government regulation and pointed to the lack of legal accountability for platforms as major issues, while acknowledging some AI companies are responsive to ADL's concerns.

Tel Aviv Stock Exchange Plunges Amid Global Market Weakness

Tel Aviv Stock Exchange Plunges Amid Global Market Weakness

The Tel Aviv Stock Exchange experienced its worst day since early June on Wednesday, with the TA-35 index falling 2.44%. The broad market decline was attributed to global market weakness, rising oil prices, and increased U.S. bond yields. Notable stock movements included Next Vision's 23% drop over two days following a large sale by an investment fund, while some defense and insurance stocks also fell sharply. The declines mirrored broader negative trends in international markets.
