TOP STORY: Hamas rejected criticism from top U.S. officials after ceasefire talks with Israel broke down earlier in the week, releasing a statement saying the terrorist group is “appalled” at the stance of President Trump. The U.S. president, who has been trying to end a humanitarian crisis while supporting the American ally that was attacked by Hamas on Oct. 7, 2023, had a sobering assessment: “Hamas didn’t really want to make a deal. I think they want to die, and it’s very, very bad,” Trump said.

GUEST EDITORIAL: Tamar Major, executive director of Yad Vashem USA Foundation, writes that ensuring that a Holocaust never happens again requires vigilance, especially as antisemitism continues its alarming spread through elite institutions and campuses.

QUOTE OF THE WEEK: “While the mediators have made a great effort, Hamas does not appear to be coordinated or acting in good faith. We will now consider alternative options to bring the hostages home and try to create a more stable environment for the people of Gaza.” U.S. Special Envoy to the Middle East Steve Witkoff
