A month after the Jewish Institute for National Security of America (JINSA) issued a letter signed by 44 retired U.S. generals and admirals that called on the United States to arm Israel against the threat of a nuclear Iran, the entity reissued the text with four new signatories.

The updated letter, which also appeared in The Hill, urges: “To confront this pressing high-priority threat, the United States should immediately provide Israel with the advanced weapons it needs to deter and prevent a nuclear Iran.”

On April 18, Israel’s Holocaust Remembrance Day, Iranian President Ebrahim Raisi proclaimed his desire to “destroy Haifa and Tel Aviv” should Israel take even the “smallest action” against the Islamic regime.

The federal attorney general said the alleged operatives had already recorded a video claiming responsibility for the attack when authorities intervened.
The two Hamas terrorists posed an immediate threat to Israeli forces, according to the military.
Alexander Filin is the 18th Israeli to be killed by Hezbollah since April 16, when Jerusalem and Beirut agreed to a U.S.-mediated ceasefire.
Police said the case is part of a wider probe into fires targeting Jewish and Iranian diaspora sites.
Mahmoud Abbas’s latest electoral reforms amount to political theater designed to appease international donors while leaving the P.A.’s anti-democratic and pro-terror culture intact.
Morton Klein, national president of the Zionist Organization of America, told JNS that the memorandum of understanding is a “disaster” that “stabs Israel in the back.”
