Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE) arrested an Egyptian national and former chaplain at a children&#8217;s hospital who was flagged on the FBI’s terror watchlist.
Egyptian national Imam Ayman Soliman was arrested by federal immigration enforcement agents Wednesday after the man, whose asylum was revoked under the Biden administration, met with ICE and FBI agents, one <a href="https://x.com/BillMelugin_/status/1943058161910583578">report</a> noted.
Soliman, who formerly worked as a chaplain at the Cincinnati Children’s Hospital and presided over services at a local mosque in the Ohio city, first came to the United States roughly a decade ago and was granted asylum status in 2018. That status, DHS Assistant Secretary Tricia McLaughlin says, was revoked under the Biden administration.
The DHS official <a href="https://x.com/TriciaOhio/status/1943061001123041322">also noted</a> that Soliman “was flagged on the FBI terror watchlist,” leading to his apprehension on Wednesday.
Court documents <a href="https://www.cincinnati.com/story/news/2025/07/09/cincinnati-chaplain-detained-by-ice/84521510007/?taid=686eb2e34ec9cd00011f2d44&amp;utm_campaign=trueanthem&amp;utm_medium=social&amp;utm_source=twitter">indicate</a> that members of Soliman’s family, who were still in Egypt, had filed a request to migrate to the United States to join him.
Some supporters of Soliman <a href="https://www.cincinnati.com/story/news/2025/07/09/cincinnati-chaplain-detained-by-ice/84521510007/?taid=686eb2e34ec9cd00011f2d44&amp;utm_campaign=trueanthem&amp;utm_medium=social&amp;utm_source=twitter">say</a> that he was fleeing violence and persecution in his home country and argue that he should not be sent back to Egypt. Even if his fears are found to be credible by the federal government, a recent Supreme Court ruling could enable his deportation to a willing third party country.
The Trump administration deported several illegal aliens, who could not be returned to their home countries, to South Sudan after the African nation agreed to receive deportees from the United States. The deportation operation was swiftly challenged in court, but the Supreme Court <a href="https://www.dailywire.com/news/trump-admin-secures-victory-in-scotus-ruling-enabling-more-deportations?author=Spencer+Lindquist&amp;category=News&amp;elementPosition=17&amp;row=0&amp;rowType=Vertical+List&amp;title=Trump+Admin+Secures+Victory+In+SCOTUS+Ruling+Enabling+More+Deportations">ruled in favor</a> of the Trump administration.
The ruling is expected to enable the deportation of thousands of illegal aliens whose home countries are unwilling to accept them, or who have credible fears of torture or persecution if they are returned to their nation of origin.

A new report details how the perpetrators of the Hamas-led massacre of Israelis on October 7, 2023, had a “systematic and premeditated” plan for the brutal sexual assault of Israeli women.
The <a href="https://thedinahproject.org/wp-content/uploads/2025/07/The-Dinah-Project-full-report-A4-pages_web.pdf">report</a> from the aptly-named Dinah Project — in the Bible, the Biblical patriarch Jacob’s daughter was raped by a prince of a nearby region — delineates the savage treatment in the rape and murder of the Israeli women by the Palestinians who were either members of Hamas or the Gazan population.
<blockquote class="twitter-tweet" data-width="500" data-dnt="true">
Rape. Genital Mutilation.

<script async src="https://platform.twitter.com/widgets.js" charset="utf-8"></script>
“This report represents a call to action: to acknowledge the sexual violence that occurred on October 7 as crimes against humanity, to hold the perpetrators responsible, and to ensure that the tactical use of sexual violence by Hamas as a weapon of war receives the international condemnation and response it demands,” the report states.
According to the report, the sexual assaults themselves were systematic and premeditated, thus attesting to the weaponization of sexual violence and its utilization as a tool of war. A report from the Special Representative of the Secretary-General (SRSG) of the UN had already noted, “across multiple locations of the Gaza periphery, a pattern of victims, mostly women, found fully or partially naked from the waist down, with their hands tied behind their back and/or tied to structures such as trees and poles, and shot. &#8230; There are further accounts of individuals who witnessed at least two incidents of rape of corpses of women.”
“One should bear in mind that the vast majority of those who were sexually assaulted were among the 1,166 who were murdered in the attack and therefore silenced forever,” the report reminds its readers. “Many of those who did survive are likely to be too traumatized to be able to recount their experience.”
“The threat of forcibly marrying the female hostages is a recurring theme,” the report explains. “The intention to marry off the female hostages, which was reported by six of the returned hostages, reveals a plan to engage in an act of raping and possibly impregnating them.”
“Five witnesses reported four or five separate cases of gang rapes; two witnesses reported one possible case of gang rape,” the report notes. “Thus, in total, there are at least four accounts of gang rapes, and possibly six such accounts, all occurring during the October 7 attack. &#8230; In most cases, the rape victims were murdered during or immediately following the assault. &#8230; The accounts of mutilations are corroborated by the descriptions of first and second responders.”
The report noted the following actions taken by the perpetrators: Bodies with objects inserted into their private parts; bodies with signs of shooting or other mutilations in the area of the genitalia, and bodies of naked women cuffed to trees.
“All of the first responders who were at the Nova festival site described the same scenes: Dozens of female bodies naked or partially naked from the waist down, many of them bleeding from the genitalia as a result of gunshots,” the report states.

Edan Alexander, a 21-year-old dual citizen who had been fighting as part of the Israeli war effort, met with President Donald Trump today in the oval office after being released by Hamas from a 584-day-long captivity.
He <a href="https://nypost.com/2025/07/03/us-news/freed-hostage-edan-alexander-welcomed-at-white-house-reveals-his-treatment-in-captivity-improved-after-trumps-election/">credited the president</a> for his release, saying: “I came to thank the person responsible for saving my life. It was deeply moving to be in the White House, the same place where my parents had fought for my release so many times, but this time together with them.”
He also told the president that his captors started treating him better as soon as he came into office.
“They weren’t too afraid of Biden,” Trump replied.
He also asked for Trump’s help in securing the release of the remaining hostages: “I told the most powerful man in the world what I went through, what my friends are enduring, and asked him to continue doing everything in his power.”
“I shared with the president my fear that continued fighting endangers the hostages. I hope he can achieve another historic breakthrough—a comprehensive deal to free all 50 hostages. I told him I am confident he is the person who can make it happen.”
Hamas released Alexander unconditionally in May, in what was seen as a “goodwill gesture” to Trump to get his help in reviving ceasefire talks with Israel.

Trump is scheduled to speak to Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu next Monday and said he will be &#8220;<a href="https://www.timesofisrael.com/trump-says-he-hopes-gaza-ceasefire-will-be-reached-sometime-next-week/">very firm</a>&#8221; with him on the need to end the war. He said that Netanyahu “wants it, too” and predicts that a ceasefire deal can be reached next week.
On Wednesday, Hamas announced it was considering the latest hostage-ceasefire deal proposed by Steve Witkoff, Middle East envoy for the Trump administration. Inner sources said that Hamas’ attitude toward it was “<a href="https://www.timesofisrael.com/trump-says-he-hopes-gaza-ceasefire-will-be-reached-sometime-next-week/">generally positive</a>.”
Israel’s foreign minister likewise made a statement that Israel wants to resume talks “<a href="https://www.nytimes.com/2025/07/02/world/middleeast/israel-gaza-cease-fire-trump.html">as soon as possible.</a>”
Witkoff’s proposal is for Hamas to release 10 living Israeli hostages and return the bodies of 18 deceased hostages in return for a 60 day ceasefire. All hostages would be released if a permanent ceasefire was agreed upon during that time.

As Israelis have tried to return to normalcy after weeks of sirens forcing them into shelters in the middle of the night, on Tuesday night in Israel, sirens again went off as the Houthis in Yemen, proxies for the despotic regime in Iran, fired another missile at Israel that was intercepted, despite the ceasefire agreed to by Israel and Iran on the morning of June 24.

On October 19, 2023, 12 days after the Hamas massacre of more than 1200 Israelis, the Houthis fired a barrage of rockets and drones into Israeli territory. A combination of Saudi air defences and the USS Carney intercepted all of the missiles.

In July 2024, the Houthis hit an apartment building near the U.S. Embassy branch office in Tel Aviv with a drone attack, which killed one person and injured 10 others.
According to the Defense Intelligence Agency, Iran has supplied the Houthis with weapons and weapon components.
“Critical components of various missiles were seized and, upon further analysis, found to share near-identical features with Iranian missile systems. Between 2015 and 2024, the United States and its partners have interdicted at least 20 Iranian smuggling vessels, seizing ballistic, cruise, and surface-to-air missile components, antitank guided missiles, unmanned aerial vehicles, and other illicit weapons destined for the Houthis,” the DIA <a href="https://ye.usembassy.gov/dia-report-showcases-iranian-origin-of-houthi-weapons-interdicted-at-sea/">reported</a>, adding, “DIA has released the report to enhance public understanding of Iran’s malign activities and to provide insights into Department of Defense and national security issues.

Karen Diamond, one of the victims of the antisemitic firebomb attack in Boulder, Colorado, died last Wednesday, according to a Monday press release. Mohamed Sabry Soliman, the alleged perpetrator of the terror attack, now faces first-degree murder charges.
The attack, which happened on June 1, targeted a pro-Israel group calling for the release of Israeli hostages taken by the terror group Hamas during the October 7, 2023, attack on Israel.
It was initially reported that eight people were injured, including 82-year-old Diamond, by incendiary devices and what the FBI <a href="https://www.dailywire.com/news/colorado-hits-egyptian-anti-israel-terror-suspect-with-charges-including-murder?author=Tim+Pearce&amp;category=News&amp;elementPosition=undefined&amp;row=0&amp;rowType=Vertical+List&amp;title=Colorado+Hits+Egyptian+Anti-Israel+Terror+Suspect+With+Charges+Including+Murder">called</a> a “makeshift flamethrower.” According to a new <a href="https://bouldercounty.gov/news/press-release-pearl-street-amended-and-added-charges/">press release</a>, 13 victims have reported physical injuries resulting from the attack.
Soliman is an Egyptian national residing in the United States illegally since his visa expired in 2023.
Diamond, who is mourned by her husband, sons, daughters-in-law, and grandsons, as well as the Boulder Jewish community, died last Wednesday, June 25, according to a <a href="https://boulderjewishnews.org/2025/baruch-dayan-haemet-karen-diamond-zl/?fbclid=IwY2xjawLPpNhleHRuA2FlbQIxMQBicmlkETFkc2lLQVdDanNxaGtZWm5YAR7xFnBUUvEWq5tggUA9FnE066f48fI4Ew6-F8kIDBJFdQjEVwfEPM2mmA4PKw_aem_dKuP2aWRtkb40_hzEjnt3w">statement</a> released Monday by Rabbi Marc Soloway, a rabbi at Congregation Bonai Shalom in Boulder.
“There are no words to express the pain of this horrific loss of our beloved member and friend,” Soloway said.
Boulder District Attorney Michael Dougherty said, “This horrific attack has now claimed the life of an innocent person who was beloved by her family and friends. Our hearts are with the Diamond family during this incredibly difficult time.”
Diamond’s family has stated that they wish for privacy at this time as they grieve their loss.
Following Diamond’s passing, Soliman now faces two counts of first-degree murder, 52 counts of attempted first-degree murder, and 46 other related charges. Soliman now faces up to more than 100 years behind bars if found guilty.
Soliman is also being prosecuted federally for alleged hate crimes related to the Boulder attack. David Kraut, Soliman’s attorney, recently <a href="https://apnews.com/article/boulder-colorado-attack-not-guilty-plea-c6aeb3c80c129510f12432812a1c043b">entered</a> a not guilty plea on Soliman’s behalf for those 12 hate crime charges.

An author who once worked as a double agent so he could spy within the terrorist group Al Qaeda — where he gave vital information to Western intelligence and prevented mass attacks —weighed in on the Middle East, pointing out that Arabs in Gulf states should feel closer to Israel than the Palestinians, while offering other powerful insights.
Aimen Dean, the author of  <a href="https://www.amazon.com/Nine-Lives-Wests-inside-al-Qaeda-ebook/dp/B07BHMZHYT/ref=sr_1_1?ie=UTF8&amp;qid=1529173204&amp;sr=8-1&amp;keywords=inside+alqaeda&amp;asc_campaign=&amp;asc_refurl=https%3A%2F%2Fwww.nbcnews.com%2Fnews%2Fmideast%2Fhe-spied-al-qaeda-inside-until-he-had-run-his-n883681&amp;asc_source=https%3A%2F%2Fen.wikipedia.org%2F_desktop">&#8220;Nine Lives: My Time as the West&#8217;s Top Spy Inside al Qaeda&#8221;</a> and the host of the podcast “Conflicted,” once was a member of Al Qaeda but became a mole inside the organization when he started working for British intelligence in 1999. He was born in Saudi Arabia.
“Let me make something absolutely clear. I am not a Zionist — not in any way, shape, or form. I am an Arab,” he wrote on X. “My roots are in Bahrain, I was born in Saudi Arabia, and I live in the UAE. My family spans generations across all three countries. On top of that, I am also a British citizen — a nationality I hold with honor, especially given my years working alongside UK security forces. It was a privilege, and an eye-opening chapter of my life. So no, I don’t carry any Zionist affiliation.”

“But let me now ask the question I rarely hear answered honestly: Why should I support groups like Hamas, the PFLP, or other Palestinian factions that have long embraced terrorism — even when their targets have been us, the Gulf Arabs?” he asked rhetorically. “Let’s look at reality: Israel has never fired a single bullet at any GCC country — not at Saudi Arabia, not at Bahrain, not at Kuwait, not at the UAE, not even at Qatar or Oman. Not even a BB gun.”
“Meanwhile, Palestinian terrorist groups have assassinated our diplomats, hijacked our planes, bombed our embassies, and worked hand-in-hand with our enemies — even as we offered them political, financial, and moral support for decades,” he wrote. “And now? Hamas and its allies have fully aligned with the Ayatollahs of Iran, our true existential enemy &#8211; the same regime that has plotted coups in Bahrain, that has flooded the region with missiles and militias, and that has openly declared its intent to topple our governments and destroy our societies. Let’s remember — it wasn’t Israel that launched thousands of drones and ballistic missiles on Saudi Arabia and the UAE. It was Iran. Through the Houthis. With Hezbollah operatives. With Hamas blessings. And with Iranian weapons.”
“So why should I betray my own people, my own security, my own dignity &#8211; to support a group that would see us fall, just to serve Tehran’s ambitions? No, I am not a Zionist. But the Zionists are NOT my enemy. My enemies are in Tehran, in Beirut, in Sana’a, and &#8211; yes &#8211; among those Palestinian factions who turned against the very hands that once fed them. This is not about being trendy or emotional. This is about loyalty, logic, and survival. In the thread below, I’ve listed decades’ worth of attacks Palestinian terrorists have carried out against the Gulf nations &#8211; despite all we gave them. Read it. And maybe then you’ll understand why many of us have stopped pretending,” he concluded.

According to the post, he &#8220;was a key source of knowledge and one of the last remaining senior Hamas terrorists in the Gaza Strip,&#8221; and he had &#8220;played a significant role in the planning and execution of the October 7th massacre.&#8221;
The IDF also noted that Issa &#8220;was one of the founders of the Hamas military wing&#8221; and had been instrumental in building up the forces in Gaza, where he also &#8220;served as the Head of the Training Headquarters&#8221; and was working to help rebuild operational capabilities that had been compromised by the ongoing war.

A longer statement from the IDF read, in part, &#8220;Yesterday (Friday), in a joint activity, the IDF and ISA struck and eliminated the terrorist Hakham Muhammad Issa Al-Issa in the area of Sabra in Gaza City. Hakham Muhammad Issa Al-Issa was a senior figure in Hamas’ military wing and was considered one of the founders of the terrorist organization. His current role was Head of Combat Support Headquarters in Hamas’ military wing.&#8221;
&#8220;Throughout the war, and over the past few days, Issa served as Head of the Combat Support Headquarters, and advanced aerial and naval terrorist attacks against Israeli civilians and IDF troops operating in the Gaza Strip,&#8221; the statement continued.
&#8220;The IDF and ISA will continue to operate to locate and eliminate all terrorists from the different terrorist organizations who took part in the brutal October 7th massacre,&#8221; the IDF concluded.

A hazardous substances engineer at the California Environmental Protection Agency was arrested and charged on Tuesday with attempting to provide material support to a foreign terrorist organization.
Since February, 33-year-old Ammaad Akhtar of Stockton, California, has been communicating with a person he believed was a member of ISIS but who was actually a law-enforcement controlled individual, <a href="https://www.justice.gov/opa/pr/california-man-charged-attempting-provide-material-support-isis">according to the Department of Justice</a>.
“In these conversations, Akhtar voiced his support for ISIS and jihad, expressed a desire to travel overseas to join and fight with ISIS, and stated a desire to send guns and money to ISIS,” the Justice Department said in a statement. 
<a href="https://www.dailywire.com/news/hamas-is-preparing-attacks-on-american-contractors-helping-distribute-aid-in-gaza?author=Kassy+Akiva&amp;category=News&amp;elementPosition=0&amp;row=0&amp;rowType=Vertical+List&amp;title=Hamas+Is+Preparing+Attacks+On+American+Contractors+Helping+Distribute+Aid+In+Gaza" target="_blank" rel="noopener">HAMAS IS PREPARING ATTACKS ON AMERICAN CONTRACTORS HELPING DISTRIBUTE AID IN GAZA</a>
In April 2025, Akhtar began providing financial support in a few payments to what he thought was ISIS. When he was told by a federal asset that ISIS was able to purchase firearms with the money, he responded “may Allah destroy our enemies” and promised to send more money that day.
On June 23, Akhtar met with an undercover federal employee who he thought was also a part of ISIS and provided clothing, binoculars, $400 cash, two loaded guns, and six additional magazines. He also then swore bayat (a pledge of loyalty) to ISIS, according to the Justice Department.
Akhtar, a graduate of the University of the Pacific, describes himself as a “great team player” and a “great leader” on his LinkedIn, as first reported by <a href="https://www.jns.org/hazardous-substances-engineer-for-california-epa-arrested-charged-with-trying-to-support-isis/">Jewish News Syndicate</a>.
The California EPA listed Akhtar on <a href="https://archive.is/AhV3H">its website</a> and a spokesperson confirmed that he is an employee, telling JNS, claiming that the department “became aware of this situation after the arrest and intend to fully cooperate with the federal investigation.”
<a href="https://www.dailywire.com/news/pentagon-official-removed-from-joint-chiefs-of-staff-for-anti-israel-posts?author=Kassy+Akiva&amp;category=News&amp;elementPosition=0&amp;row=0&amp;rowType=Vertical+List&amp;title=Pentagon+Official+Removed+From+Joint+Chiefs+Of+Staff+For+Anti-Israel+Posts" target="_blank" rel="noopener">PENTAGON OFFICIAL REMOVED FROM JOINT CHIEFS OF STAFF FOR ANTI-ISRAEL POSTS</a>
Over several months, Akhtar also talked about planning terrorist attacks including attacking a specific unnamed Jewish individual and using homemade explosives.
“He said he ‘want[s] to die in the cause of Allah fighting the kuffar [infidels]’ and asked for instructions on how to make a homemade explosive device in order ‘to make a boom’ at a populated event,” according to the DOJ.
Akhtar also said that the “day will come when the head of every evil, dirty Jew and their slaves, the cross worshippers, will have their heads plucked like chicken.”
According to court documents, Akhtar told his “ISIS contact” that he “drove by a Jewish temple, and I see one guy. He is always there on Saturday. He was in Israeli army. I follow him, and now I am following him to see where he lives.”
<a href="https://www.dailywire.com/news/trump-has-been-clear-for-14-years-that-iran-cannot-have-a-nuclear-weapon?author=Kassy+Akiva&amp;category=News&amp;elementPosition=0&amp;row=0&amp;rowType=Vertical+List&amp;title=Trump+Has+Been+Clear+For+14+Years+That+Iran+Cannot+Have+A+Nuclear+Weapon" target="_blank" rel="noopener">TRUMP HAS BEEN CLEAR FOR 14 YEARS THAT IRAN CANNOT HAVE A NUCLEAR WEAPON</a>
Akhtar told the undercover asset that he knew the Jewish person drove a red truck. The FBI confirmed that there is a Jewish temple in Stockton and was able to identify the owner of the red truck “who does not appear to resemble an Israeli soldier.”
If convicted, Akhtar faces a maximum of 20 years in prison and a $250,000 fine.

The &#8220;biggest national security vulnerability this country&#8217;s ever seen&#8221; comes from Biden-era gotaways Trump Border Czar Tom Homan said on Sunday as he warned federal officials do not have a full accounting of all the people from Iran who illegally crossed the border during the last administration.
Homan spoke about the situation after being asked by Fox News anchor Maria Bartiromo on &#8220;Sunday Morning Futures&#8221; about the potential for Iranian sleeper cells after President Donald Trump ordered strikes on Terhan&#8217;s nuclear facilities this weekend.
Citing data from U.S. Customs and Border Protection, Homan <a href="https://www.foxnews.com/video/6374707951112" target="_blank" rel="noopener">explained</a> that there were 1,272 nationals of Iran released into the United States by immigration officials under President Joe Biden, which is a stark contrast to &#8220;zero&#8221; releases under the Trump administration.

&#8220;Right now, because of President Trump&#8217;s leadership, we have the most secure border in my lifetime, most secure border in the history of this nation. So we have a secure border. So that was President Trump&#8217;s big win on securing this nation,&#8221; Homan said. &#8220;So we&#8217;re not releasing people into this country. Special interest aliens aren&#8217;t crossing that border undetected. But under Joe Biden, we had over 10 million people cross that border. But my biggest concern from day one, beyond the fentanyl, beyond the sex trafficking of women and children, were the 2 million known gotaways.&#8221;
He continued: &#8220;Over 2 million people crossed that border, we don&#8217;t know who they are, where they came from, because they got away, because Border Patrol is so overwhelmed with the humanitarian crisis that Biden created that over 2 million people crossed the border and got away. That is my biggest concern. And that&#8217;s what created the biggest national security vulnerability this country&#8217;s ever seen.&#8221;
Homan conceded the Trump administration does not know where all the gotaways have gone, but he expressed confidence in the leaders at the FBI, Department of Homeland Security (DHS), and White House now compared to when Biden was president.
&#8220;No, the intelligence community under President Trump has been on this since day one. What gives me any comfort at all is that you don&#8217;t have Christopher Wray there [leading the FBI]. You got Kash Patel there. You don&#8217;t have Alejandro Mayorkas there [leading DHS] anymore. You got Kristi Noem. And you certainly don&#8217;t have [former Vice President] Kamala Harris as the border czar,&#8221; Homan said.
&#8220;So President Trump brought a great team, been on this since day one,&#8221; Homan added. &#8220;Do we know where every one of the 2 million are? No. We don&#8217;t know who they all are. We don&#8217;t know why they&#8217;re here or where they came from. But we do know, Border Patrol intelligence over the last four years, they have found prayer mats south of the border. They have found identification from people from Iran, Turkey, Uzbekistan, Syria south of the border.&#8221;
Homan concluded by saying: &#8220;So we know that some terrorists have crossed that border. We&#8217;d be a fool to think zero crossed. The thing is, though, we&#8217;ve got President Trump as a commander in chief who has put all resources on that. That&#8217;s why President Trump from day one of ICE [U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement] operations, despite what the left media says, he has been focused on national security threats and public safety threats. And between ICE and the bureau, we have removed thousands of national security threats because of President Trump&#8217;s leadership on this.&#8221;

At least 20 Christians were killed and 52 others were wounded on Sunday when a radical Islamic terrorist opened fire in an Orthodox church in Damascus, Syria, and then detonated an explosive vest, according to Syria&#8217;s interior ministry.
The terrorist, affiliated with ISIS, targeted Mar Elias Church in Dweila, on the outskirts of Damascus, the BBC <a href="https://www.bbc.com/news/articles/c307n9p43z9o">reported</a>. A person who witnessed the attack told AFP news agency that &#8220;someone entered carrying a weapon&#8221; and began firing at worshipers. A group of church members charged the attacker and &#8220;tried to stop him before he blew himself up,&#8221; the witness added.
Graphic footage of the aftermath of the bombing captured by the Syrian Civil Defence showed bloody bodies on the ground and rows of pews blown to pieces. Some local media reports said that children were among those killed in the terrorist attack, according to <a href="https://www.cbsnews.com/news/suicide-bomber-syria-church-dweila/">CBS News</a>.
Issam Nasr, a man who was at the church during the attack, said that he saw people &#8220;blown to bits.&#8221;
&#8220;We have never held a knife in our lives. All we ever carried were our prayers,&#8221; Nasr said.
The bombing marks the first successful jihadist attack on a Christian church in Syria since Bashar al-Assad and his government were toppled by Islamic extremists in December, according to Reuters. The Islamic State was behind multiple other recent attacks on Christian churches in the country, but none were successful.
Interim Syrian President Ahmed al-Sharaa, who is part of a Sunni Islamist group that has ties to al-Qaeda, has repeatedly vowed to protect religious minorities in the country, but violence against Christians continues. There are over 500,000 Christians in Syria, and they are regularly the victims of government oppression and Islamic extremism, according to <a href="https://www.opendoors.org/en-US/persecution/countries/syria/">Open Doors</a>, which ranks the country at 18th on the list of countries where Christians face the most persecution.

The Supreme Court on Friday ruled unanimously that victims of Palestinian terrorism can sue the Palestinian Authority and Palestine Liberation Organization in United States courts.
In 2019, Congress passed the Promoting Security and Justice for Victims of Terrorism Act (PSJVTA), which permitted victims of terror attacks to sue the groups responsible.
“The PSJVTA names the PA and PLO specifically and provides that they ‘shall be deemed to have consented to personal jurisdiction’ in ATA (Anti-Terrorism Act of 1990) cases under two circumstances,” the Court <a href="https://www.law.cornell.edu/supremecourt/text/24-20">noted</a>. “The first jurisdictional predicate relates to respondents’ practice of paying salaries to terrorists in Israeli prisons and to families of deceased terrorists — conduct Congress has condemned as ‘an incentive to commit acts of terror.’ The second ties jurisdiction to respondents’ activities on U.S. soil.”
The Court’s ruling encompassed two cases, the first being Fuld et al v. Palestine Liberation Organization et al, which involved Ari Fuld — a father of four who held dual American-Israeli citizenship — being fatally stabbed in the back by a 17-year-old terrorist whose family received compensation as part of the Palestinian Authority&#8217;s “Pay for Slay” program.
&#8220;Palestinians and Israeli Arabs who are convicted by Israel of involvement in terror attacks in Israel&#8221; are &#8220;entitled to monthly &#8216;salaries&#8217; commencing with their arrest — and continuing for life for men who serve at least five years and women who serve at least two,&#8221; along with other financial incentives, Endowment for Middle East Truth <a href="https://emetonline.org/wp-content/uploads/2017/07/Pay4Slay_Fact-Sheet-FINAL.pdf">explains</a>.
A second case involved a group of 11 American families representing citizens injured during terror attacks in Israel, and the estates or survivors of those killed in the attacks between 2002 and 2004. That case initially won the victims a $655 million settlement against the Palestinians’ government, but then the New York-based 2nd U.S. Circuit Court of Appeals ruled that the PSJVTA’s personal jurisdiction provision violated the Fifth Amendment’s Due Process Clause.
But on Friday, the Supreme Court ruled that the PSJVTA’s personal jurisdiction provision did not violate the Fifth Amendment’s Due Process Clause, adding, “The Federal Government may craft a narrow jurisdictional  provision ensuring American injured or killed by acts of terror have an adequate forum in which to vindicate their right to ATA compensation.”
The case from the 11 families encompassed <a href="https://www.supremecourt.gov/opinions/24pdf/24-20_f2bh.pdf">a number of incidents,</a> including the January 22, 2002, Jaffa Road Shooting in which a Palestinian Authority police officer opened fire on a pedestrian mall in Jerusalem, killing two individuals and wounding 45 others. It also included the January 29, 2004, Bus No. 19 Bombing, in which a Palestinian Authority officer detonated a suicide vest on a crowded bus, killing 11 people, including one of the plaintiffs.

The emir of al-Qaeda in the Arabian Peninsula (AQAP) directed American Muslims to assassinate President Donald Trump, calling assassinations &#8220;the greatest form of jihad today&#8221; in a video released by AQAP over the weekend and <a href="https://www.memri.org/reports/video-leader-al-qaeda-arabian-peninsula-aqap-calls-american-muslims-assassinate-president">translated</a> by the Middle East Media Research Institute.
The leader, Sa&#8217;ad bin Atef al-Awlaki, also listed Vice President JD Vance, Secretary of State Marco Rubio, Secretary of Defense Pete Hegseth, Elon Musk, and the U.S. Senate as targets, calling them &#8220;the scum of the earth.&#8221; The video showed photos and footage of American officials as al-Awlaki identified them.
&#8220;Go after them and their families and all those who have any ties or are close to the politicians of the White House,&#8221; al-Awlaki said. &#8220;There are no red lines after all that has been happening to our people in Gaza.&#8221;
Al-Awlaki pointed to non-Muslim violence, including the attempted assassination of Trump in July of 2024, as examples for Muslims to follow.
&#8220;Do not consult anyone about killing infidel Americans,&#8221; al-Awlaki said.
AQAP is an affiliate of the Sunni Islamist terrorist organization al-Qaeda, which was founded by Osama bin Laden, according to a <a href="https://www.congress.gov/crs-product/IF11854">Congressional Research Service</a> report. The group primarily operates in Yemen.
Al-Awlaki has led AQAP after the sudden death of its previous leader in March 2024, according to the <a href="https://www.fdd.org/analysis/op_eds/2024/03/11/al-qaeda-in-the-arabian-peninsula-names-new-emir-u-s-has-6-million-bounty-on-his-head/">Foundation for Defense of Democracies</a>. The United States is <a href="https://rewardsforjustice.net/rewards/saad-bin-atef-al-awlaki/">offering</a> a reward of up to $6 million for information about al-Awlaki due to previous calls for attacks against the United States.
Al-Awlaki also told Muslims to attack U.S. military bases, as well as U.S. companies such as Microsoft and Tesla. He also directed Muslim hackers to &#8220;go after the American economy.&#8221;
Al-Awlaki said American Muslims should &#8220;take revenge&#8221; against &#8220;those who support the war in Gaza&#8221; and concluded by calling for Muslims to attack Jews in the United States and Europe.

&#8220;Do not leave a single safe place for Jews, just as they have not left any homes, shelters, or respite for the Palestinians,&#8221; al-Awlaki said.
The AQAP has weakened since its peak in the 2010s, according to FDD, but it remains &#8220;a significant threat to Yemen and further afield.&#8221; A United Nations report said AQAP has maintained connections with Al-Qaeda&#8217;s central leadership.
The video comes after Trump recently banned travel from Yemen and other countries with inadequate &#8220;information-sharing and identity-management procedures,&#8221; The Daily Wire previously <a href="https://www.dailywire.com/news/we-dont-want-them-trump-slaps-travel-ban-on-countries-whose-citizens-arent-vetted">reported</a>. The memorandum cited protecting American citizens from terrorist attacks as a reason for the ban.
The most recent report to the United Nations Security Council <a href="https://docs.un.org/en/S/2025/71/Rev.1">said</a> al-Awlaki has &#8220;consolidated control of&#8221; AQAP since becoming the terrorist group&#8217;s leader.
&#8220;The media arm of AQAP, considered by many to be Al-Qaeda’s strongest, exploited conflicts, including the Gaza and Israel conflict, to recruit and incite lone actors to conduct attacks,&#8221; the report said.
