Taking out Hamas' million-dollar 'root' tunnel is game changer, analyst says

Fox News’ “Antisemitism Exposed” newsletter highlights the growing issue of anti-Jewish prejudice across the United States and globally.

IN TODAY’S EDITION:

– Israeli Defense Forces discover a 4.5-mile Hamas tunnel beneath a UN compound
– FBI’s long-standing scrutiny of CAIR predates Texas labeling it a ‘terror organization’
– Speaker Mike Johnson condemns antisemitism, emphasizes the importance of Israel-US ties

Hamas Tunnel

The Israeli Defense Forces have released video evidence showcasing an extensive Hamas tunnel network running seven kilometers under Rafah, consisting of more than 80 rooms dedicated to command operations and storing weapons. This complex was found beneath a compound of the United Nations Relief and Works Agency (UNRWA) and is said to have housed Lt. Hadar Goldin. Israel claims this destruction significantly weakens Hamas’s subterranean infrastructure.

G-MEN KNEW: The FBI restricted non-investigative contact with CAIR starting in 2008 after evidence linked its leaders to Hamas. A 2013 DOJ inspector general report found repeated violations of the ban and poor oversight. The revived findings follow Texas labeling CAIR a terrorist group, as federal lawmakers debate action against Islamist networks.

REJECTING HATE: House Speaker Mike Johnson defended the U.S.–Israel alliance as vital and urged universal rejection of antisemitism. He acknowledged GOP divisions but stressed Israel’s strategic and democratic importance. As some Republicans like Marjorie Taylor Greene and Thomas Massie break from traditional pro-Israel positions, Johnson emphasized unity, morality and support for the Jewish community.

GUEST EDITORIAL: Heather Johnston, founder of the U.S. Israel Education Association, a nonpartisan organization that promotes dialogue and cooperation between the U.S. and Israel, writes that it is crucial for Christians to stand with Israel amid rising antisemitism. “Antisemitism is not just an attack on Jews,” writes Johnston. “It is an attack on the very foundation of our Christian identity.”

QUOTE OF THE WEEK: “You can make all sorts of arguments of why this is a really important friendship and alliance. But the antisemitism stuff ought to be universally rejected and called out. And I’m very insistent about that.” House Speaker Mike Johnson on Israel-US relations.
