US envoy: ‘Indications’ Israel killed Hamas leader Mohammed Deif

In a briefing for American Jews, Jack Lew, the U.S. ambassador to Israel, also said he hopes that the Israeli prime minister’s address to Congress is bipartisan.

Although Jack Lew, the U.S. ambassador to Israel, told the American Jewish community in a briefing on Monday that he cannot confirm whether Mohammed Deif was killed in an Israeli strike, there are “indications” that the Hamas leader is dead.

In the call, the U.S. envoy also said that he hopes that Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu’s speech to Congress, scheduled for July 24, will be bipartisan.

U.S. President Joe Biden has reportedly invited Netanyahu to the White House—something he hasn’t offered the Israeli leader since the latter was elected in December 2022.

“Public funds aren’t props,” said Mark Goldfeder, of the National Jewish Advocacy Center.
“We’re not going to solve the world’s problems with this hearing,” the judge said, after interrupting the plaintiff, who praised the Hamas terror organization.
The man posted an expletive-laden Instagram video saying that the U.S. president “should be executed.”
Shira Goodman, of the Anti-Defamation League, told JNS that the votes are non-binding to the public universities but “risk fueling division on campus.”
“The committee is troubled by recent reports and allegations raising questions about Columbia University’s willingness to uphold its commitments to protect Jewish students, faculty and staff,” the House Committee on Energy and Commerce chair told the university.
“This is our country, sweet land of liberty, and of thee we do not sing enough,” Wisse said.
