Top Stories:

The last American hostage, Edan Alexander, was freed after spending more than 580 days in the Gaza Strip. At just 21, he is a dual citizen of the U.S. and Israel and grew up in Tenafly, New Jersey. He volunteered for the IDF’s Golani Brigade after turning 18 and was taken hostage on October 7, 2023. Following his release, President Trump congratulated his family on social media.

Campus Crackdown:

A Democratic governor in a key swing state has signed legislation that prohibits encampments on public university campuses, where protests against Israel have been widespread. Those who establish these camps may face damage liabilities, while continued occupation of these sites could lead to trespassing fines.

Harvard Controversy:

The Trump administration has faced mixed responses after declaring it would cease future grants to Harvard University unless it complies with specific regulations. Education Secretary Linda McMahon criticized Harvard’s president for undermining the institution and violating federal laws.

Flag Incident:

In one East Coast city, officials noted the flying of a Palestinian flag at city hall without removing the American flag. They clarified that various flags have been displayed in government offices historically.

Guest Editorial:

Sylvia Kunio, whose sons David and Ariel remain hostages, pleads for their release, stating that “returning hostages isn’t political or military—it’s a moral obligation.” She stresses that ongoing campaigns against Hamas shouldn’t come at the expense of hostages’ lives, which are at risk daily.

This week’s quote: “Every night, I dream of my sons in hospital beds. I want to run to them, embrace them, and kiss them for everything they’ve endured.” This poignant reflection is from Sylvia Kunio, a mother still waiting for her sons’ return.
