A state representative prefiled legislation requiring government entities to use “Judea and Samaria” for the region, claiming “West Bank” erases Jewish identity.
Bill would bar governments from using "West Bank" as term for Israel region

The world is so fixated upon Gaza that our allies in Ukraine, who have been mercilessly being attacked for years by Russian forces, are forgotten.

OPINION: By now, the reality should start sinking in that if we don’t change our policy, Ukraine will lose.
And a Russian victory would deal such a blow to Western credibility, it would dwarf the consequences of the failure in Afghanistan.

Washington’s likely failure in Ukraine shows the US needs a new national security strategy.

Another mass missile and drone attack on #Ukraine by Russia. I call on the Australian government to not only announce more substantive assistance for Ukraine now, but a strategy that includes military, diplomatic, economic, humanitarian and reconstruction assistance over time.
Despite the damage caused by Russia's air terror, the Ukrainian air defense did a solid job. These are the statistics.
Shot down:
- 10 of 10 Kh-42M2 Khinzal
- 59 of 70 Kh-101/Kh-555/Kh-55
- 3 of 3 Kalibr
- 0 of 4 Kh-31P
- 0 of 12 S-300/400, Iskander-M
Early this morning:
