LEADING STORY: Just six weeks into the tenure of Mayor Zohran Mamdani, the Brooklyn Navy Yard in New York City has ignited controversy by deciding not to renew the lease of Easy Aerial, a drone company associated with Israel. While officials claim the decision is due to “business reasons,” critics are decrying it as an unjust political maneuver. They argue it is a misuse of taxpayer resources to support the Boycott, Divestment, Sanctions (BDS) movement, which they believe undermines the city’s economic interests in favor of radical activism.

VIDEO UPDATE: Fox News’ senior foreign affairs correspondent, Greg Palkot, reports on the latest Russian attacks on Ukraine’s power infrastructure. Additionally, Senator Jim Banks, R-Ind., discusses Iran’s nuclear ambitions and the country’s stance on negotiations on ‘Fox News Sunday.’ WATCH HERE:

DEMAND FOR ACTION: A Jewish advocacy organization is urging the dismissal of a broadcaster who accused a Zionist Israeli Olympian of supporting genocide. The group argues that such statements constitute dangerous antisemitic rhetoric and unfairly target athletes because of their identity and nationality, fueling a contentious debate over the role of accountability in sports media and broadcasting.

CASE CLOSED: A Palestinian activist, previously accused of expressing a desire to “kill Jews” in social media posts, has won her deportation case. An immigration judge ruled she could remain in the U.S., sparking intense backlash from critics who argue the decision ignores clear security threats and systemic antisemitic incitement.

TROUBLE BRUIN: The Trump administration has sued UCLA, alleging the university “turned a blind eye” to a hostile workplace for Jewish and Israeli employees. The DOJ claims administrators failed to discipline antisemitic harassment and physical assaults during campus protests. This marks a major escalation in the federal crackdown on campus antisemitism.

GUEST EDITORIAL: Omer Tuval, former spokesman for the Hostages and Missing Families Forum, writes about how families of Israeli hostages bypassed government bureaucracy to combine global diplomacy and advocacy to ensure every Oct. 7 captive returned home—transforming unimaginable grief into a historic, unified mission for humanity.

QUOTE OF THE WEEK: “The litany of vile acts of antisemitism that allegedly took place, and continue to take place, at UCLA are, if found to be true, a mark of shame against the University of California.” – Harmeet Dhillon, assistant attorney general for the Civil Rights Division of the U.S. Department of Justice.
