An estimated 4,700 North Korean soldiers have been killed or wounded while fighting alongside Russia against Ukrainian forces, South Korea’s spy agency told lawmakers Wednesday. The assessment came two days after North Korea confirmed for the first time that it had sent combat troops to help Russia recapture parts of the Kursk region, which it lost control of to a surprise Ukrainian incursion last year. In a closed-door parliamentary committee briefing, South Korea’s National Intelligence Service said North Korea had suffered 4,700 casualties, including 600 deaths, on the Russia-Ukraine battlefronts, according to Lee Seong Kweun, one of the lawmakers who attended the meeting. Lee told reporters the NIS said that 2,000 injured North Korean soldiers were repatriated to North Korea by air or train between January and March. He cited the NIS as saying the dead North Korean soldiers were cremated in Russia before their remains were sent back home. In January, the NIS said about 300 North Korean soldiers had died and another 2,700 had been injured, and the South Korean military increased the estimated casualties to 4,000 last month. On Monday, North Korea announced that leader Kim Jong Un had decided to dispatch troops to “annihilate and wipe out the Ukrainian neo-Nazi occupiers and liberate the Kursk area in cooperation with the Russian armed forces.” Russian President Vladimir Putin later issued a statement thanking North Korea and promising not to forget the sacrifices of North Korean soldiers. Both Kim and Putin said the North Korean deployment was made under their countries’ landmark 2024 defense treaty, which requires each side to provide aid if the other is attacked. The U.S., South Korea and their partners say North Korea has been supplying vast amounts of conventional weapons to replenish Russia’s depleted stocks as well. They suspect Russia is providing North Korea with military and economic assistance in return. U.S., South Korean and Ukraine officials have said North Korea dispatched 10,000-12,000 troops to Russia last fall. South Korea’s military said in March that North Korea sent about 3,000 additional troops to Russia earlier this year. During its Wednesday briefing, the NIS said it assessed that Russia has given North Korea air defense missiles, electronic warfare equipment, drones and technology for spy satellite launches, according to Kim Byung-kee, another lawmaker who attended the NIS briefing. Kim quoted the NIS as saying that 15,000 North Korean laborers have also been sent to Russia under bilateral industrial cooperation programs. The lawmaker said the amount of North Korean missiles and artillery sent to Russia was worth billions of dollars but the NIS hasn’t detected signs that Russia has sent North Korea cash remittances for them.

President Trump marked the milestone of his second term’s first 100 days with an energetic rally in Michigan on Tuesday evening, asserting that his administration had achieved more in that short span than others manage in an entire presidency.

“We’ve accomplished more in three months than most administrations accomplish in four years or even eight years,” Trump, 78, declared. “And we’re just getting started.

“Believe me, we’re just getting started.”

Throughout his hour-and-a-half address, Trump highlighted his aggressive immigration stance, economic measures, and strategies to reduce government spending as examples of what he described as a highly effective agenda.

“Under President Trump, America is a dumping ground for criminals no longer,” Trump proclaimed.

“They’re not even trying to come in,” Trump boasted of illegal border-crossers, crediting his sweeping initiatives to seal up the US-Mexico boundary and swiftly deport criminal aliens.

He also revealed a striking video during his remarks, showing deported gang members, alleged affiliates of MS-13 and Tren de Aragua, arriving at a massive, infamous prison facility in El Salvador. The segment mirrored the theatrical tone of his campaign-style address at the Macomb Sports and Expo Center in Warren.

The footage drew loud applause from the audience gathered at the venue just outside Detroit.

Despite recent polling challenges, Trump has maintained relatively strong approval on immigration issues, with approximately half of respondents backing his handling of the topic — his highest-rated area in most surveys.

“I banned all welfare to illegals and I signed an order that will end automatic citizenship for the children of illegal aliens — no citizenship,” he said, continuing on the immigration theme.

“For years, Joe Biden and the media told us that stopping the flood of illegal immigration was absolutely impossible,” Trump continued. “He said it was impossible. He didn’t know what the hell he was talking about.”

“It turned out that all we needed was a new president.”

Large banners adorned the interior of the 4,000-seat arena, with slogans such as “JOBS! JOBS! JOBS!”, “THE GOLDEN AGE,” “BUY AMERICAN HIRE AMERICAN,” “INVESTING IN AMERICA,” and “THE AMERICAN DREAM IS BACK” displayed prominently on the walls.

“We’re here tonight in the heartland of our nation to celebrate the most successful first 100 days of any administration in the history of our country,” Trump said.

“And you haven’t even seen anything yet,” he added.

“A lot of auto jobs are coming,” he promised his raucous supporters.

“They all want to come back to Michigan to build cars again because of our tax and tariff policy,” the president said of American auto companies.

He criticized earlier administrations for abandoning Michigan’s manufacturing base, arguing that they sacrificed domestic industry for China’s benefit.

“After decades of politicians who destroyed Detroit to build up Beijing, you finally have a champion for workers in the White House,” Trump said. “And instead of putting China first, I’m putting Michigan first and putting America first.”

Trump also praised his efforts to curb what he views as overreach by unelected officials entrenched in Washington’s bureaucracy.

“After a lifetime of unelected bureaucrats stealing your paychecks, attacking your values and trampling your freedoms, we are stopping their gravy train, ending their power trip, and telling thousands of corrupt, incompetent and unnecessary deep state bureaucrats.

“You’re fired!” he boomed.

A brief disruption by a protester during the rally prompted a quick remark from Trump: “Is that a radical left lunatic?”

The president also welcomed several key members of his administration to the stage during the event, including Defense Secretary Pete Hegseth, deputy chief of staff Stephen Miller, and senior adviser Margo Martin.

“Trump 2028, anybody?” Martin told the crowd, drawing cheers.

Secretary of State Marco Rubio announced on Tuesday that the moment has arrived for Moscow and Kyiv to present actual plans to bring the Ukraine war to an end, warning that if tangible steps aren’t taken, the United States would pull back from its role as a mediator, according to State Department spokeswoman Tammy Bruce.

“We are now at a time where concrete proposals need to be delivered by the two parties on how to end this conflict,” Bruce said, reading from Rubio’s remarks.

Bruce went on to explain that, “How we proceed from here is a decision that belongs now to the President. If there is not progress, we will step back as mediators in this process,” referencing President Donald Trump’s ongoing effort to broker an agreement between the two nations.

At a press conference, Bruce clarified that America’s goal is to achieve a “complete, durable ceasefire and an end to the conflict,” and not simply “a three-day moment so you can celebrate something else.”

On Monday, Russian President Vladimir Putin announced a limited three-day ceasefire set for May, tied to commemorating the Soviet Union’s and its allies’ victory in World War II 80 years ago, a gesture seemingly aimed at demonstrating Russia’s continued willingness to pursue peace.

Ukraine, however, expressed skepticism, questioning why Russia would not agree to its proposal for a ceasefire of at least 30 days to take effect immediately.

Both Ukrainian and Russian officials have been eager to show President Trump that they are moving closer to achieving his goal of a swift peace agreement, particularly after the United States signaled frustration and warned it might step away from its diplomatic efforts.

Since assuming office in January, Trump has dramatically reshaped Washington’s stance on the conflict, pushing Ukraine to accept a ceasefire deal while simultaneously reducing the pressure campaign against Russia, which had launched its full invasion of Ukraine in 2022.

Israeli security officials were reportedly caught off guard when Prime Minister Bibi Netanyahu publicly disclosed highly sensitive details regarding a covert Israeli operation targeting Hezbollah’s communications infrastructure during a recent address, according to a report broadcast Monday night.

Back on September 17, Hezbollah operatives throughout Lebanon experienced a wave of explosions triggered by thousands of pagers, injuring many and killing over two dozen individuals. The following day, similar attacks targeted hundreds of walkie-talkies, resulting in additional casualties. These devices had been covertly outfitted with miniature explosives by Israel before being covertly supplied to Hezbollah operatives.

The operation marked a dramatic escalation in Israel’s ongoing confrontation with Hezbollah, part of a broader regional conflict that intensified following the brutal October 7, 2023, Hamas-led assault on Israel.

During his remarks at a Jewish News Syndicate event on Sunday night, Netanyahu revealed that Israel had launched a strike on a device scanner shipped by Iran to Lebanon once Hezbollah grew suspicious that its pagers had been tampered with. The individual operating the machine was also eliminated in the same strike.

“We learned that Hezbollah had sent three beepers to be scanned in Iran; we had previously bombed the scanner they were going to bring in, so we got rid of that, and the guy who operates it,” he said.

These revelations had been deliberately withheld from public disclosure until now, due to concerns that revealing them could expose classified intelligence methods and compromise national security, Channel 12 reported.

Netanyahu indicated that the circumstances pushed Israel to detonate the compromised devices immediately, rather than risk losing the opportunity.

He further noted that the timeline for an Israeli ground operation in Lebanon was significantly accelerated—by about three weeks—because the pager sabotage operation was executed earlier than originally scheduled.

Although Israeli law permits the prime minister to declassify sensitive material, this is typically coordinated with defense officials to avoid unintended fallout. Channel 12 said no such coordination was done in this case.

Speaking at the same event, Netanyahu explained that he deliberately withheld information about the pager mission from the United States, citing concerns over potential leaks.

“I don’t read The New York Times that often, but why give them the advance? It would be on the net,” he said.

The fallout over Netanyahu’s candid comments comes at a time when his office is already facing scrutiny due to the unauthorized release of classified documents.

Eli Feldstein, a spokesperson for Netanyahu, was indicted in November for endangering Israel’s national security by allegedly passing classified IDF material to the German newspaper Bild, in what investigators say was an effort to boost Netanyahu’s public image.

Feldstein has also been implicated in the ongoing Qatargate investigation, along with two other senior Netanyahu associates. Authorities believe the trio carried out illicit activities on behalf of a Qatar-linked lobbying outfit, including unauthorized contact with foreign agents and a range of corruption-related offenses.

Israeli officials are expressing growing unease over the increasing likelihood that nuclear negotiations between the United States and Iran will succeed, according to a report by Israel’s Kan public broadcaster. The shift in assessment follows the third round of talks held in Oman over the weekend, which have raised fears in Jerusalem that a new nuclear deal may not sufficiently curb Iran’s nuclear ambitions. Previously skeptical that the talks would yield any agreement, Israeli authorities now believe the negotiations are more likely to produce a deal than to fail. This development is viewed with alarm, as officials fear the emerging agreement may compromise Israel’s security by allowing Iran to retain significant nuclear capabilities. The US-Iran nuclear talks, relaunched in April, seek to address Iran’s nuclear program and prevent it from developing nuclear weapons. Mediated by Oman, the indirect discussions involve U.S. Special Envoy Steve Witkoff and Iranian Foreign Minister Abbas Araghchi. The first round occurred in Muscat on April 12, followed by Rome on April 19, and Oman again on April 26. A fourth round is scheduled for May 3, 2025, indicating sustained diplomatic engagement. The negotiations come in the wake of the 2015 Joint Comprehensive Plan of Action (JCPOA), which collapsed after the U.S. withdrawal in 2018 under President Donald Trump. Since then, Iran has enriched uranium to 60% purity—nearing weapons-grade levels—and restricted International Atomic Energy Agency (IAEA) inspections, prompting concerns about its nuclear intentions. While Tehran claims its program is civilian, Israel and Western nations suspect Iran is pursuing nuclear weapons. Unlike earlier demands for the complete dismantlement of Iran’s nuclear infrastructure, the U.S. has adopted a more flexible stance, focusing on limiting uranium enrichment. This shift has heightened Israeli concerns, as officials advocate for a “Libya-style” deal requiring the total destruction of Iran’s nuclear facilities under U.S. oversight. Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu has consistently warned that a nuclear-armed Iran poses an existential threat, a position he reiterated during his meeting with President Trump earlier this month. Netanyahu has argued that a “bad deal” is worse than no deal, insisting that any agreement must eliminate Iran’s nuclear capabilities entirely. The Kan report highlights Israel’s apprehension that the talks’ likely success could result in a deal that falls short of these demands. Israeli officials are particularly troubled by indications that the U.S. is not pressing for the dismantlement of Iran’s nuclear infrastructure. A senior Trump administration official described “progress” in the latest round but noted that “much work” remains, fueling fears in Jerusalem that the agreement may allow Iran to maintain breakout capacity. Regional dynamics add to Israel’s concerns. While Iran’s proxies, such as Hamas and Hezbollah, have been weakened by Israeli operations since October 2023, and the fall of Syrian President Bashar al-Assad in December 2024 has isolated Tehran, these factors may push Iran toward a deal that preserves its nuclear program in exchange for sanctions relief. Israeli officials worry that such an outcome would embolden Iran in the long term. Israel’s unease is compounded by several factors. First, reports suggest that U.S. envoy Witkoff’s proposals in Oman did not include military threats or demands for a Libya-style deal, raising fears that the agreement will lack enforceable mechanisms to prevent Iran from advancing its nuclear program post-Trump presidency. Second, Iran’s ongoing fortification of nuclear sites, including deeply […]

Israeli Housing and Construction Minister Yitzchok Goldknopf stated on Tuesday that he planned to take part in the Memorial Day service at the military cemetery in Kiryat Gat, brushing aside objections from mourning families in the city who expressed discomfort over a chareidi figure attending the event.

A group of bereaved relatives sent a letter to Goldknopf, pleading with him not to appear. “We, several bereaved families from Kiryat Gat, ask you in every way possible not to attend the Memorial Day ceremony for IDF fallen soldiers in Kiryat Gat,” the letter read.

The families went on to say, “We believe that someone representing groups in Israeli society who refuse to bear the burden of military service cannot stand before bereaved parents and speak on a day that is so sacred to us.”

Goldknopf, who leads the chareidi United Torah Judaism party, has been a vocal opponent of drafting chareidi men into the army.

In their letter, the grieving families said they would rather see Goldknopf spend his time “recruiting yeshiva students” than addressing them at the cemetery.

Sources close to Goldknopf told Channel 12 News that “no negotiations are underway to replace him” and confirmed that he was determined to attend the ceremony.

This wasn’t the first time Goldknopf had been assigned to the Kiryat Gat event. He had been designated to attend last year as well, and after similar backlash from families, he ultimately chose to withdraw.

One of the signatories, Chaim Saadon — whose brother Avner died in service in 1974 — urged Goldknopf to step aside this year and allow another official to participate in his place.

“As a bereaved family, we feel that there is a moral and ethical offense to our feelings here,” said Saadon to Channel 12. “As soon as everyone enlists in the army, I’ll leave him be, but it cannot stand that someone who doesn’t enlist in the army should come and speak at the Memorial Day ceremony.”

The IDF has reported a significant personnel shortage, stating that it needs around 12,000 additional troops, including roughly 7,000 for combat roles.

At present, nearly 70,000 chareidi men aged 18 to 24 are technically eligible for conscription but have not joined the military.

On Sunday, the High Court of Justice issued an interim ruling requiring the state to clarify why it had not issued a sufficient number of draft notices to chareidi yeshiva students to fulfill the army’s needs, and why it had failed to implement the notices that had been issued. The court gave the government until June 24 to submit a written explanation addressing those failures.

Israeli Foreign Minister Gideon Sa’ar called the promotion of voluntary emigration from Gaza “the most moral and humane thing to do,” voicing strong support for President Donald Trump’s plan to revitalize the battered region along the Mediterranean coast.

During remarks at the JNS International Policy Summit in Yerushalayim, Sa’ar insisted that Palestinians must be viewed “as human beings” rather than “weapons against Israel,” saying they deserve the same emigration rights granted to those fleeing war-torn nations elsewhere.

Sa’ar pointed out that two conditions must be met: individuals must willingly choose to emigrate, and another country must be ready to receive them.

“First,” he stated, a person or a family must want to emigrate of their own “free will and free choice,” as anyone from Syria, Afghanistan, or elsewhere is entitled to do.

“The second condition,” he added, is that a state must be willing to accept them “on the other side.”

If both criteria are satisfied, Sa’ar said, encouraging Gazans to relocate becomes “the most moral and humane thing to do.”

Sa’ar praised the relationship between Israel and its “very good partner in Washington,” explaining that many nations have long “use[d] the Palestinians — weaponize[d] them — against the State of Israel,” blocking Gazans’ ability to pursue new futures.

His comments come amid growing momentum behind President Trump’s strategy to reimagine Gaza’s waterfront as an economic engine, offering residents an opportunity to resettle and rebuild their lives.

At the same time, Israel continues its military campaign against Hamas after the October 7, 2023 attack — the deadliest act of terror in the country’s history — when Hamas terrorists invaded Israeli towns, murdering concertgoers and civilians, carrying out mass rapes, tortures, killings, and kidnappings.

In February, President Trump introduced his plan for Gaza alongside Israeli Prime Minister Bibi Netanyahu, unveiling a groundbreaking U.S. approach that prioritizes resettlement and reconstruction to foster peace and prosperity.

Israel subsequently announced the creation of a new division, led by Defense Minister Israel Katz, tasked with overseeing the voluntary emigration process — an initiative that fully supports President Trump’s broader regional goals.

“I welcome President Trump’s bold initiative,” Katz stated, calling the relocation plan a historic chance for Gazans to find hope elsewhere while strengthening Israel’s security.

According to the Jerusalem Post, Israel’s renewed military operations in Gaza are partly aimed at creating conditions that will enable voluntary emigration, with Hamas refusing to budge during hostage negotiations.

Breitbart News has previously highlighted that President Trump’s Gaza plan has been well received by many civilians. Surveys from the Center for Peace Communications show a considerable number of Gazans are eager to leave the devastated area and start anew abroad.

For the United States, facilitating Gaza’s depopulation could ease regional tensions, erode Hamas’s influence, reduce the burden of humanitarian assistance, and encourage Arab nations to take a more active role in the region’s stabilization.

Earlier this month, during a joint public appearance with Netanyahu at the White House, President Trump reaffirmed his vision of Gaza transforming into a “freedom zone,” free from violence and terror.

“If you take the people — the Palestinians — and move them around to different countries, and you have plenty of countries that will do that, you really have a ‘freedom zone,’ a free zone where people aren’t going to be killed every day,” Trump said, adding that Gaza had long been synonymous with “killing and Hamas and problems.”

Netanyahu endorsed President Trump’s proposal, saying: “What the president is talking about is [to] give people a choice. Gazans were closed in… People could leave [in other war zones]. What is wrong with giving people a choice?”

Meanwhile, a senior Israeli official revealed that several countries have stepped forward offering to absorb Gazan emigrants, with serious diplomatic groundwork already underway to make President Trump’s vision a reality.

Recent polls show that more than half of Gaza’s population would willingly relocate if given the opportunity, adding new energy to President Trump’s concept of voluntary resettlement and Gaza’s postwar redevelopment.

President Donald Trump has removed several of former President Joe Biden’s appointees from the United States Holocaust Memorial Council, including Doug Emhoff, husband of former Vice President Kamala Harris and a leading figure in the Biden administration’s efforts to combat antisemitism. Emhoff, who is Jewish, sharply criticized the move. “Let me be clear: Holocaust remembrance and education should never be politicized,” he said in a statement. “To turn one of the worst atrocities in history into a wedge issue is dangerous — and it dishonors the memory of six million Jews murdered by Nazis that this museum was created to preserve.” Also dismissed were key Biden allies including former White House Chief of Staff Ron Klain and former Domestic Policy Adviser Susan Rice, who was a central architect of the 2023 National Strategy to Combat Antisemitism — the first comprehensive plan of its kind in the United States. The White House has not yet issued a response to the dismissals. The United States Holocaust Memorial Council oversees the U.S. Holocaust Memorial Museum in Washington, D.C., and appointments to the council are often viewed as symbolic commitments to Holocaust education and remembrance. While council positions are typically replaced during transitions between administrations, the removal of prominent figures directly tied to national antisemitism policy has drawn swift backlash from some quarters. As of now, the Trump administration has not publicly offered an explanation for the dismissals. (YWN World Headquarters – NYC)

Boro Park Shomrim, in coordination with Yanky Eisdorfer, senior advisor to Brooklyn Borough President Antonio Reynoso, helped light up the streets of Boro Park during Yom Tov Pesach. Following a similar effort during Sukkos, when residents along 21st Avenue and 20th Avenue near the cemetery requested additional lighting due to a previous incident, Boro Park Shomrim arranged for light towers to be placed. Throughout Sukkos Shomrim Shabbos Patrol volunteers actively monitored and maintained the lights to ensure they remained fully operational. This Pesach, Shomrim once again worked with Yanky Eisdorfer, senior advisor to Brooklyn Borough President Antonio Reynoso, to secure additional light towers from NYC OEM and the NYPD to illuminate the area. The effort greatly enhanced safety, especially during the late-night Yom Tov hours, and was warmly appreciated by the community. A neighborhood resident told YWN, “It made a huge difference. Walking home late at night felt much safer. We’re really grateful to Shomrim, the Borough President’s office, and everyone who made this happen.” (YWN World Headquarters – NYC)

Fake Jake going all in on protecting the worst of the worst…

While reporting on the Trump Administration’s decision to cover the White House lawn with signs of violent illegal alien criminals on Monday, CNN’s Jake Tapper and his crew decided to blur the faces of the criminals.

“The Trump Administration is approaching its 100-day mark with a full-court press on the issue of illegal immigration — and they really don’t want you to miss it,” Tapper said. “They subtly and tastefully decked the White House north lawn with dozens of yard signs featuring photos of people the Trump Administration claims are in the country illegally.”

“CNN’s working to confirm the identities and if there are actual allegations against these people. Until then, we are blurring their identities,” Tapper added.

Watch the clip below:

 

But CNN wasn’t the only outlet to protect the identities of some of the most heinous criminals in the country — MSNBC got in on the action, as well:

 

During Monday night’s Hannity, Stephen Miller said the lawn signs were a way to get the “pompous jerks” in the left-wing media to cover the atrocious crimes being committed by illegal criminal migrants.

“President Trump’s White House has forced, brilliantly, these outlets to acknowledge these crimes, to acknowledge these atrocities by putting these posters, these mugshots and their criminal histories right behind them as they stand there and do their shots every single day,” Miller said. “We’re going to keep forcing the media to cover the atrocities committed by the illegal aliens that Joe Biden and the Democrat Party have brought into our country.”

During a recent Fox News appearance, pollster Matt Towery took a hatchet to reports that President Trump is polling free-fall.

“None of them, to be honest with you. I have a group of pollsters I look at who are public pollsters who’ve been right in all three of Trump’s cycles,” Towery said. “We happen to be one of those. None of us have had him down by any of these numbers we’ve seen before. The only one that might concern me at all is the Fox News one because Fox did well in the 24 cycle.”

“So that’s the only one of these other ones — I looked at some of them. I don’t like to criticize polling, but how can you have a poll, as John McLaughlin, a good friend of mine pointed out, how could you have a poll that shows Donald Trump at 39%?” Towery asked. “But yet when you ask people who they voted for and they said they voted for Trump, 95% said they would vote for him again.”

According to an ABC News/Washington Post/Ipsos poll released Saturday, 39% of the 2,464 respondents said they approve of Trump’s job performance, dropping six points from their February poll. With a margin of error of plus or minus 2 percentage points, the poll said 37% of respondents trust Trump to handle the country’s main problems, compared to 30% who said they trust Democrats in Congress.

“Now, last time I checked, Donald Trump got almost 50% of the vote. So how in the world can that poll be correct? There’s no possible way,” Towery said. “He’s not in free fall. He’s had a little bit of slippage because he’s doing a lot. He’s breaking a lot of eggs to make an omelet, but he is not dropping in any significant way. I can guarantee you, and I’m just not paying any attention to this nonsense. They were wrong in the elections in the past, and they’re going to be wrong about his approval rating as well.”

An Israeli court handed down a ten-year prison sentence to Moti Maman after he was found guilty of maintaining ties with foreign operatives from Iran.

In their ruling, the judges emphasized: “Motivated by financial gain, he committed offenses of entering an enemy state and contacting a foreign agent; he received several thousand dollars from Iranian officers, negotiated with them financially, and requested a million dollars. While doing so, he published posts on social media supporting Likud and Netanyahu.”

They pointed out that the crimes were committed during an especially critical period — wartime — when Iran poses a major threat to Israel, and while the IDF is engaged in battles across various fronts.

Despite the risks, Maman continued to engage with hostile actors while inside enemy territory, suggesting that ideological motives may have been just as influential as financial ones. The court did acknowledge in his favor that Maman served in the First Lebanon War and had provided supplies to multiple military bases since the outbreak of the current conflict.

Last December, Maman, who is 72 years old, was found guilty after admitting to charges of unlawfully traveling to an enemy country and establishing contact with a foreign agent.

This case marks the first conviction of its kind since the beginning of the Swords of Iron campaign. Meanwhile, several other cases are progressing, where Israeli citizens stand accused of conspiring with Iranian agents to attack Israel or its people.

Maman admitted during the investigation that he met repeatedly with Iranian intelligence operatives on Iranian soil, asserting that he acted largely out of financial interest.

Court documents reveal that Maman made two separate trips to Iran, where he engaged in discussions with Iranian agents about potentially orchestrating terror attacks within Israel, posing significant threats to national security. His meetings with Iranian officials were reportedly fueled, in part, by the targeted killing of Ismail Haniyeh in Tehran and Iran’s desire to retaliate.

The indictment detailed: “The Iranian agents discussed with the defendant during the meetings the possibility that the defendant would assassinate senior Israeli figures in Israel, including Prime Minister Binyomin Netanyahu, Minister of Defense Yoav Gallant, and ISA head Ronen Bar.”

It was further stated, “Other options for carrying out terrorist and espionage activities in Israel by the defendant were discussed. This included examining the possibility of assassinating former Prime Minister Naftali Bennett or certain mayors using an explosive device, establishing dedicated assassination cells in Russia and the United States by the defendant, which would be activated with the aim of murdering opponents of the Iranian regime, and carrying out money laundering in Israel for others.”
