On Sunday in Tiberius, Rabbi Moshe Chaim Schneider, a close student of Rabbi Dov Kook, a mystic with a large following, entered his home carrying a photocopy taken from Kli Paz, a kabbalistic commentary on the Book of Isaiah, written nearly five centuries ago by Rabbi Shmuel Shmuel Laniado... Rabbi Kook was so impressed by what he read that he immediately urged their publication, saying they could awaken thousands of Jews to strengthen their faith. Rabbi Shmuel Laniado...[was] a leading mystic...His comprehensive commentary on the Book of Isaiah was printed after his passing, roughly 400 years ago. Buried within that work is an interpretation of a single verse that now reads like a headline torn from today’s newspapers. The verse states: “For Hashem has a sacrifice in Botzrah, and a great slaughter in the land of Edom” (Isaiah 34:6). On Monday, White House Press Secretary Karoline Leavitt issued a blunt warning. She stated that the administration is actively monitoring the situation and that the Iranian regime would be foolish to attempt such a move. Former CENTCOM deputy chief says Iran ‘playing poker’ with US, regime collapse ‘imminent’ A former deputy commander of U.S. Central Command (CENTCOM) said on Thursday that the Islamic Republic of Iran is nearing a point of collapse and is “playing poker” with the United States and the international community at very high stakes. CENTCOM's former vice admiral, Robert Harward, also said the ayatollah regime is unprepared for a regional war against the U.S. and potentially also Israel. “If they were to escalate and kind of their last remaining spear, be it missiles, be it strategic or tactical, dependent on the range, that would really bring escalation to the point that Iran is not prepared to deal with… so they're playing poker,” he told The Jerusalem Post. Despite the negotiations, Harward believes Washington is keeping its options on the table, including a potential military strike on Iran. He assessed, “In my humble opinion, regime collapse is imminent. It's no longer a matter of if. It's just a matter of when.” During a recent debate, ALL ISRAEL NEWS Editor-in-Chief Joel Rosenberg sat down with Mario Nawfal, who hosts the largest show on 𝕏 (formerly known as Twitter), and Prof. Glenn Diesen to debate Trump’s next move. To strike or not to strike, that really is the question – and people around the globe are awaiting the answer. The debate highlighted three potential options facing Trump: pursuing diplomacy without military action, launching a large but limited strike aimed at punishing the Iranian regime, or escalating toward sustained attacks designed to trigger regime change. Rosenberg predicted that a limited strike is the most likely outcome, arguing that Trump’s credibility could be at stake after strong rhetoric toward Iran and promises of support for anti-regime protesters. At the end of the debate, Nawfal asked whether Trump would strike Iran, and both Rosenberg and Diesen predicted he would, in fact, ultimately “pull the trigger." The Israel Prison Service has begun operational preparations to implement capital punishment for terrorists following the Knesset’s preliminary approval of new death penalty legislation. The Israel Prison Service plans to carry out executions within 90 days of a final verdict, significantly faster than the often decades-long delays seen in other death penalty jurisdictions. The Bible does not blur moral lines when it comes to those who shed innocent blood. “And you shall not take ransom for the life of a murderer who is guilty of death, for he shall surely be put to death” (Numbers 35:31). The Hebrew phrase dam naki, innocent blood, is treated with absolute seriousness. The Sages explain that a society which tolerates unpunished murder endangers itself, because violence unrestrained invites more violence. Berko, a former Knesset member, [says] “They know that even if they receive a life sentence, they will not stay in jail for their entire lives,” she told JNS, “because Hamas or another terror organization will kidnap soldiers, civilians, or others, and they will be released in a hostage deal.” Hamas celebrates prisoner releases not as humanitarian gestures but as strategic victories. Each freed terrorist is proof, in their worldview, that kidnapping and mass murder work. Berko has since concluded that prison is no longer a sufficient deterrent. Inside Israeli jails, terrorists can earn academic degrees, eat regular meals, and receive extensive medical care—living for years in regimented routines that, Berko said, do little to deter future violence. “Many times, prison becomes a place to study, to improve abilities, to socialize with other terrorists, to coordinate attacks outside jail, and to prepare for the next step,” she told JNS. The Sages established that Jewish law permits—and in certain circumstances requires—execution to protect society from murderers. “Whoever sheds the blood of man, by man shall his blood be shed; for in the image of God He made man” (Genesis 9:6). This verse applies to all humanity, not exclusively to Jews, establishing a universal principle predating the giving of the Torah at Sinai.
