Rambam Health Care Campus in Haifa is partnering with Stanford University’s School of Medicine for a joint symposium to explore best practices and cutting-edge developments in clinical medicine, research and medical technology.

The event will take place on March 8 on the medical school’s Stanford campus in Northern California.

“We are delighted that Stanford medicine—one of American’s most prestigious institutions—has partnered with Rambam in this unique event,” said Professor Rafael Beyar, director and CEO of Rambam. “As the largest hospital in Israel’s north, and with the Technion-Israel Institute of Technology Medical School on our campus, Rambam can provide our American colleagues insights into Israeli health care, innovation and applied research in medicine.”

Beyar also praised Israel’s health-care system as one of the most cost-efficient in the world, expending approximately 8 percent of its GDP on health care—about half that of the United States—while delivering high-caliber comprehensive medical care to its population.

“This is life for Jews under the leadership of Mayor Zohran Mamdani,” advocacy group StopAntisemitism wrote.
The Committee to Protect Journalists said Nika Soon-Shiong’s five-year board term expired as it reviews whether Hamas and Palestinian Islamic Jihad operatives were misclassified as journalists killed in Gaza.
“Blaming Israel for the rise in antisemitism on the political left and in the Democratic Party specifically is classic narcissistic behavior,” Jim Walsh, chair of the state’s Republican Party, told JNS. “It’s what abusive husbands do to battered wives.”
“President Trump picked the right person for the job,” Rep. Tim Walberg stated, citing Sonderling’s record at the department and efforts to combat Jew-hatred in the workplace.
“He’s tried to find that middle ground, where he can give a wink and a nod to those kinds of very violent extremist rhetoric, but without being forced to condemn it,” David May, of FDD, told JNS.
Robinson De La Cruz Hilario told authorities that his posts praising Pulse nightclub shooter Omar Mateen and depicting a firearm and imagery associated with neo-Nazi groups were intended to instill fear.
