Vice-president JD Vance is now addressing members of the press in Israel. He’s speaking at a civilian military coordination center, which he is also opening today.

“The Israeli government has been remarkably helpfulness. I want to thank them,” Vance said, before criticizing the American media.

“There’s almost this desire to root for failure, that every time something bad happens, that every time that there’s an act of violence, there’s this inclination to say, ‘oh, this is the end of the cease fire, this is the end of the peace plan.’ It’s not the end,” the vice-president said. “It is, in fact, exactly how this is going to have to happen when you have people who hate each other, who have been fighting against each other for a very long time.”

Per my last post, Hakeem Jeffries has issued a statement following the arrest of Christopher Moynihan, the pardoned Capitol rioter who threatened to kill the House minority leader.

“I am grateful to state and federal law enforcement for their swift and decisive action to apprehend a dangerous individual who made a credible death threat against me with every intention to carry it out,” Jeffries said, noting that “many of the criminals released have committed additional crimes throughout the country”.

“Unfortunately, our brave men and women in law enforcement are being forced to spend their time keeping our communities safe from these violent individuals who should never have been pardoned,” Jeffries added.
