U.S. Sanctioning Hizballah’s Enablers in Lebanon Today, the United States sanctioned nine individuals who enable Hizballah to undermine Lebanon’s sovereignty.

United States Cuts Off Billions in Illicit Funding to Iranian Regime The United States exerts maximum pressure across every domain to stop the Iranian regime from threatening American interests and to hold it accountable. Today, the United States is acting against 35 entities and individuals who operate Iran’s covert financial network.

by Ram ben Ze’ev The Price of Misalignment: Memory, War, and the Illusion of Strength Today, Israel stands still. At the sound of the siren, the nation pauses in collective remembrance for those who were killed—soldiers of the Israel Defense Forces whose lives ended in battle. The numbers are heavy: 25,644 since 1860, leaving behind tens of thousands of bereaved families. Yet numbers, as vast as they are, do not capture truth. Words do. We say “fallen soldiers,” as though they stumbled. But...

by Ram ben Ze’ev Ki Tetze: When Israel Goes Out to War — Alignment, Not Assumption The words כי תצא (Ki Tetze – when you go out) open with precision. They do not command war; they describe it. They assume that man—individually and nationally—will choose to step into conflict. The verse states: כי תצא למלחמה על איביך — when you go out to war against your enemies. The initiative is human. The judgment that follows is Divine. The Holy Zohar teaches that this “going out” is not merely physical...

Condemning the Attacks on the Private Residence of Iraqi Kurdistan Region President Barzani The United States unequivocally and forcefully condemns the despicable terrorist attacks by Iran’s terrorist militia proxies in Iraq on the private residence of Iraqi Kurdistan Region President Nechirvan Barzani.

by Ram ben Ze’ev When the Argument Cannot Be Answered, Attack the Man In politics, one of the oldest tactics is also one of the most revealing. When a leader cannot answer an argument, the response is often not to address the facts but to destroy the credibility of the person who raised them. That is precisely what we are seeing now. Joe Kent did something that senior officials rarely do: he resigned his position on principle. As Director of the National Counterterrorism Center, he stated...

by Ram ben Ze’ev You Cannot Legislate Hatred Out of the Human Heart A recent interview published yesterday between Tucker Carlson and Glenn Greenwald begins with a familiar complaint. Both men lament the growing number of laws being enacted in various countries—among them the United States and Australia—that seek to criminalise negative or derogatory speech about Israel or about Jews. The discussion is not surprising coming from Carlson. His public commentary over the past several years has...

by Ram ben Ze'ev This War Was Chosen As a Jew, an American, and a fervent supporter of Israel, I write this without apology: I shed no tears for Iran. The regime in Tehran has spent decades threatening Israel, funding terror, and building a regional network dedicated to Jewish bloodshed. If Iran were to launch an unprovoked attack on Israel, I would support the destruction of its military capacity without hesitation. But that is not what this is. What I object to, strongly and without...

by Ram ben Ze'ev A Bridge Too Far: When Strategy Becomes Recklessness As a Jew and someone who places Israel first, I do not shed a tear over the destruction in Iran. The regime in Tehran has spent decades funding terror, threatening Israel with annihilation, and building a regional network of proxies dedicated to Jewish death. If Iran were to launch a direct attack on Israel, I would support the complete destruction of the regime and the dismantling of its military capacity without...

by Ram ben Ze'ev When a Nation Forgets Its Covenant Throughout our long history, the Jewish people have faced enemies in every generation. Empires have risen against us, armies have marched against us, and rulers have sought to erase us from the earth. Yet the Torah teaches something that history repeatedly confirms: our greatest danger has never been the nations alone, but what happens when we forget who we are . From the beginning, the Jewish people were not created simply as another...

Terrorist Designation of the Sudanese Muslim Brotherhood Today, the Department of State is designating the Sudanese Muslim Brotherhood as a Specially Designated Global Terrorist and intends to designate the group as a Foreign Terrorist Organization, effective March 16, 2026.

Its fighters, many receiving training and other...

by Ram ben Ze’ev When Power Forgets Torah Torah does not teach weakness. It does not demand that Jews stand idle while enemies seek their destruction. On the contrary, Jewish law recognises the obligation of self-defence. When a person comes to kill you, the principle is clear: rise and stop him first. Throughout history the Jewish people have fought when necessary, and when survival required strength. Our tradition teaches: הבא להרגך השכם להרגו — “If someone comes to kill you, rise early and...

U.S. Assistance to Ensure the Safety of American Citizens Overseas The U.S. Department of State is taking historic action to assist American citizens, who wish to depart the Middle East, return to the United States. In the past several days, over 9,000 American citizens have safely returned from the Middle East, including over 300 from Israel. The Department is facilitating charter flights from the United Arab Emirates, Saudi Arabia, and Jordan for American citizens, and will continue to...

by Ram ben Ze’ev Why Now? Blood, Sovereignty and the Unanswered Question Yesterday I wrote that “ Gone are the days when Jews kneel before greater powers .” I meant every word. Israel is not a vassal state. We do not require Washington, Brussels or London to decide when Jewish blood is at risk. If our leaders believe an existential threat looms, they not only have the sovereign right to act — they have the sovereign responsibility. But sovereignty cuts both ways. It grants the power to...

by Ram ben Ze’ev The Nobel Delusion and the Price of Blood For years, President Donald Trump nursed a grievance. The Nobel Committee refused to crown him as the architect of peace he so eagerly proclaimed himself to be. Throughout his first term, during the 2020 campaign, throughout 2024, and right up until the Committee awarded the Nobel Peace Prize to Venezuelan opposition leader María Corina Machado—who symbolically handed it to him—he spoke incessantly of the wars he stopped and the...

by Ram ben Ze'ev Not Us — Or Have We Forgotten? In October 2023, when our brothers and sisters were butchered, burned, kidnapped and desecrated, we watched in horror not only at the cruelty of the murderers but at the reaction of the world. In city after city, crowds gathered to celebrate. Sweets were handed out in the streets. Baklava was distributed as though the slaughter of Jews were a wedding feast. Social media filled with praise for barbarism. We were rightly outraged. We said: this is...

Iran Designated as a State Sponsor of Wrongful Detention Today, I am designating Iran as a State Sponsor of Wrongful Detention. When the Iranian regime seized power 47 years ago, Ayatollah Khomeini consolidated his control of power by endorsing the hostage taking of U.S. embassy staff. For decades, Iran has continued to cruelly detain innocent Americans, as well as citizens of other nations, to use as political leverage against other states. This abhorrent practice must end. President Trump...

Announcement of Additional Visa Restriction Targets for Individuals Involved in Inhibiting Iranians’ Rights to Freedom of Expression During Iran’s nationwide protests in December and January 2025, the Iranian regime has unleashed violence and repression against tens of thousands of peaceful demonstrators. The regime imposed a near-total nationwide internet shutdown, unprecedented in scope and duration, that severely restricted independent documentation of abuses and cut Iranians off from the...

Hizballah uses AQAH as a financial institution to undermine the Lebanese state and fund its terrorist activities....

Sanctions to Combat Illicit Traders of Iranian Oil and the Shadow Fleet The Department of State is sanctioning 15 entities, two individuals, and 14 shadow fleet vessels connected to the illicit trade in Iranian petroleum, petroleum products, and petrochemical products.

Instead of investing in the welfare of its own people and crumbling infrastructure, the Iranian regime continues to fund destabilizing...

Sanctioning Iranian Government Officials for Suppression of Peaceful Protest Today, the United States is imposing sanctions on Iranian officials responsible for the recent brutal crackdown on their own people. As the Iranian people protest 47 years of catastrophic economic mismanagement, the regime continues to choose funding terrorist militias abroad and its vast weapons programs over the basic needs of everyday Iranians. The people of Iran suffer from rising inflation, crumbling...

U.S. Sanctions to Support the Courageous People of Iran As the brave people of Iran continue to fight for their basic rights, the Iranian regime has responded with violence and cruel repression against its own people.

Simultaneously, the Department of the Treasury is sanctioning several Iranian security officials, including Ali Larijani,...

by Ram ben Ze’ev America First—or Empire First? Trump’s Venezuelan Rubicon Full Disclosure I write this as a long-time supporter of President Donald J. Trump. I voted for him in 2016, again in 2020, and once more in 2024. My support has always been grounded in his rejection of endless wars, globalist interventionism, and the idea that America should act as the world’s policeman. Precisely because of that support, what follows matters. If the future leadership of the Republican Party—whether...

Cracking Down on Iran’s Shadow Fleet Today, the United States is acting to stem the flow of the Iranian regime’s revenue used to support terrorism and other illicit activities.

The Houthis’ arrests of those staff,...

Sanctioning Illicit Networks Engaged in Iranian Petroleum Trade Today, the Departments of State and the Treasury are sanctioning shipping networks responsible for funding the Iranian regime’s malign activities through illicit oil sales, as well as an airline and its affiliates that arm and supply Iran-backed terrorist groups.

by Ram ben Ze’ev AIPAC: An Unruly Arm For decades, Israel’s enemies have sought to delegitimise its supporters in America. One of their favourite weapons is the claim that AIPAC—the American Israel Public Affairs Committee—is a foreign agent of the State of Israel. They insist it should be forced to register under the Foreign Agents Registration Act (FARA), not because they expect transparency to reveal anything new, but because they want to weaponise the financial details against both AIPAC...

by Ram b en Ze’ev When Commentary Becomes Collusion: A Rebuke to the Unrestrained Among Us It is an unfortunate necessity that I find myself writing a follow-up to my earlier piece, How Public Talk of Terror Strengthens Our Enemies . That article warned against the harm done by those who, often with the best of intentions, amplify the horror of our enemies’ attacks by turning tragedy into content. Today, I must now address a different but related behaviour: the incessant play-by-play...

by Ram ben Ze’ev The Final War: Understanding the Mystery of Gog uMagog The war of Gog uMagog (גוג ומגוג) is a term that stirs the imagination, conjuring visions of epic battles, divine intervention, and the unfolding of the ultimate redemption. Yet for all its dramatic imagery, the war is not merely a geopolitical struggle—it is the culmination of human history and the final confrontation between truth and falsehood, purity and impurity, holiness and spiritual contamination. A Prophetic...
