President Donald Trump weighed in on the news that Marine Le Pen, leader of France’s National Rally Party, has been barred from holding public office for five years following a conviction for embezzlement, calling the situation a “very big deal” and drawing parallels to what he sees happening in the United States.

“A lot of people thought she wasn’t going to be convicted of anything,” Trump told reporters Monday, according to The Hill. “I don’t know if it means conviction, but she was banned for running for five years, and she was the leading candidate. That sounds like this country, it sounds very much like this country.”

A court in Paris handed down the verdict Monday, finding Le Pen guilty of misusing funds allocated by the European Union Parliament. As a result, she is now legally disqualified from running for office for the next five years, a ruling that could block her from seeking the French presidency in the 2027 race.

The case centered on allegations that Le Pen and 24 of her party colleagues had redirected EU parliamentary funds—intended for official aides—to compensate National Rally party workers instead, over a period stretching from 2004 to 2016. Le Pen, who ran for the French presidency in 2022, has announced plans to appeal the decision. While she hopes the legal process will conclude before the next presidential election, she remains barred from campaigning unless the conviction is overturned.

Speaking Monday in an interview with TF1, Le Pen questioned the impartiality of the court’s decision. “If the ruling is not a political decision, I don’t know what is.”

She also addressed her supporters directly, saying, “There are millions of French people who believe in me, millions of French people who trust me. For 30 years I’ve been fighting for you, and for 30 years I’ve been fighting against injustice, so I’m going to continue fighting.”

The verdict drew criticism from several of Le Pen’s far-right allies across Europe. Among them were Dutch politician Geert Wilders and Italy’s Deputy Prime Minister Matteo Salvini, both of whom expressed opposition to the ruling.

The final U.S. soldier who went missing in Lithuania has been found dead, bringing to an end a massive weeklong search for the four service members whose armored vehicle was pulled from a swampy training area, the U.S. military said Tuesday. The bodies of the three other soldiers were recovered Monday after U.S., Polish and Lithuanian armed forces and authorities dug the M88 Hercules vehicle out of a peat bog at the expansive Gen. Silvestras Žukauskas training ground in the town of Pabradė. Their identities have not been released as family notifications continue. The soldiers, part of the 1st Armored Brigade Combat Team, 3rd Infantry Division, were on a tactical training exercise when they and their vehicle were reported missing a week ago, the Army said. “This past week has been devastating. Today our hearts bear the weight of an unbearable pain with the loss of our final Dogface Soldier,” Maj. Gen. Christopher Norrie, 3rd Infantry Division commander, said in a statement Tuesday. “Though we have received some closure, the world is darker without them.” Hundreds of Lithuanian and U.S. soldiers and rescuers took part in the search through the thick forests and swampy terrain around Pabradė, 6 miles (10 kilometers) west of the border with Belarus. The 63-ton (126,000-pound) armored vehicle was discovered March 26 submerged in 15 feet (4.5 meters) of water, but it took days to pull it out of the bog. Lithuanian armed forces provided military helicopters, fixed-wing aircraft, unmanned aerial systems and search and rescue personnel. They brought in additional excavators, sluice and slurry pumps, other heavy construction equipment, technical experts and several hundred tons of gravel and earth to help the recovery. Navy divers maneuvered through thick layers of mud, clay and sediment with zero visibility to reach the vehicle Sunday evening and attach steel cables so it could be pulled out. When just three of the four bodies were found, the divers began a search of the bog area for the fourth. Gen. Christopher Donahue, commander of U.S. Army Europe and Africa, expressed gratitude to the U.S. allies who sent troops and equipment to help in the search and recovery. “I can’t say enough about the support our Lithuanian Allies have provided us. We have leaned on them, and they, alongside our Polish and Estonian Allies — and our own Sailors, Airmen and experts from the Corps of Engineers — have enabled us to find and bring home our Soldiers,” Donahue said in the statement. “This is a tragic event, but it reinforces what it means to have Allies and friends.” (AP)

A family in Deir al-Balah, a city in the central Gaza Strip, carried out a retaliatory killing of a Hamas police officer accused of fatally shooting one of their relatives. The incident was captured on video and has ignited widespread outrage across Gaza, coming on the heels of large-scale protests against Hamas and the reported execution of demonstrators by the group.

Hamas, the terrorist organization that governs the Gaza Strip, responded with a public statement issued in the name of “Clans and Families in Deir al-Balah,” in which it denounced what it called the “treacherous” killing of the officer. According to the statement, the officer had been “fulfilling his national duty to provide humanitarian aid and flour to civilians who are suffering the difficult circumstances in which our Palestinian people find themselves.”

Hamas claimed the shooting occurred when police officers discharged their weapons into the air to maintain order during the distribution of aid. One resident was reportedly struck by a bullet and later died from his injuries.

In its statement, Hamas urged the public to remain calm and avoid descending into further unrest. The group emphasized that those responsible for the act “will not escape punishment.”

House Speaker Mike Johnson on Tuesday exercised his power of the gavel — and tried to bring it down with an unusually aggressive effort to squash a proposal for new parents in Congress to able to vote by proxy, rather than in person, as they care for newborns. His plan failed, 206-222. In an unprecedented move, the House Republican leadership had engineered a way to quietly kill the bipartisan plan from two new moms—Republican Rep. Anna Paulina Luna of Florida and Democratic Rep. Brittany Pettersen of Colorado. Their plan has widespread support from a majority of House colleagues. Some 218 lawmakers backed the new moms, signing on to a so-called “discharge petition” to force their proposal onto the House floor for consideration. But Johnson, like GOP leaders before him, rails against proxy voting, as President Donald Trump pushes people back to work in the aftermath of the COVID-19 pandemic work from home trend. A procedural vote Tuesday will test whether the speaker — or the new moms — have the tally on their side. It was turned back in dramatic fashion, with nine Republicans joining all Democrats to sink the GOP leaders’ effort. “If we don’t do the right thing now, it’ll never be done,” said Luna, who gave birth to her son in 2023. Pettersen with a diaper over her shoulder and four-month-old son, Sam, in her arms, stood on the House floor pleaded with colleagues to turn back the GOP leadership’s effort to stop their resolution. “It is unfathomable that in 2025 we have not modernized Congress,” she said. “We’re asking you to continue to stand with us.” But Johnson had drawn the line against proxy voting as unconstitutional. “Look, I’m a father, I’m pro-family. The Republican Party is pro-family,” the Republican speaker said late last month. But he said, “I believe it violates more than two centuries of tradition and institution. And I think that it opens a Pandora’s box, where ultimately, maybe no one is here.” It’s the first time in modern House history that leadership was taking the extraordinary step to try to halt a discharge petition when it’s this far along in the process. Next steps are uncertain. Luna used the discharge petition process as she and others grew frustrated that House committees and party leadership were not bringing the proxy-voting proposal forward. Instead, she and others gathered the majority signatures needed, 218, to discharge it from limbo, and force it to the floor for action. At a Rules committee hearing early Tuesday, the GOP-led panel tucked in a provision into the routine rules process that would have prohibited not just this discharge petition but any others that try to push a proxy voting forward. Rep. Jim McGovern of Massachusetts, the top Democrat on the panel, said a discharge petition has never been halted before at this stage in the process — a remarkable move from Republicans who often campaign as the party aligned with family values. “Given the chance to actually support families, they turn their backs,” he said. “A majority of the chamber is upending what the majority in this chamber wants.” Republicans countered that Luna, who led the discharge effort, did not go through the regular process, of waiting for their resolution to be brought to the floor through the regular […]

It is with great sadness that Matzav.com reports the petirah of Rav Dovid Wolpin zt”l,Mashgiach of Yeshivas Kol Yaakov in Monsey, who was niftar this morning at the age of 82.

Rav Wolpin was recognized as a brilliant talmid chacham from a young age. He learned in Yeshiva Torah Vodaas, where he was deeply connected to the Roshei Yeshiva and his rabbeim, from whom he absorbed a lifelong foundation in Torah and mussar.

He later continued his learning at Bais Medrash Elyon of Monsey, immersing himself in the highest levels of limud haTorah.

Throughout his life, his hasmadah, humility, and depth of character earned him the respect and admiration of all who knew him.

Over the years, Rav Wolpin delivered shiurim to hundreds of talmidim at Mesivta Rabbi Shamshon Rephael Hirsch and later spent over two decades as the Mashgiach at Yeshivas Kol Yaakov in Monsey. In that role, he shaped the lives of generations of bochurim, not just through his shiurim, but through his personal guidance and care. He was mekarev his talmidim with warmth and sincerity, molding them into true bnei Torah. He wasn’t just their rebbi. He was their father. He maintained close relationships with his talmidim for decades, helping them navigate life’s challenges, assisting them in getting their children into schools, and participating in their simchos with a full heart.

Rav Wolpin was the devoted husband of Rebbetzin Chavi Wolpin (née Bursztyn), the longtime principal of Bais Rachel High School of Monsey and the daughter of the renowned Dr. Bursztyn of Williamsburg. Together, they built a home of Torah, chinuch, and unwavering dedication to Klal Yisroel.

He is survived by his wife and children, all of whom are rabbanim and marbitzei Torah, proudly continuing in his illustrious footsteps. His son Rav Moshe Chaim serves as the Rav of Khal Adas Yeraim in Queens. His son Rav Yitzchok is a noted talmid chacham who has been mekarev hundreds of Yidden. His son Rav Naftali is a marbitz Torah in Monsey, while his son Rav Yoissy is a marbitz Torah in Lakewood. His son Rav Ephraim Ben Tzion is a dedicated marbitz Torah, as are his sons Rav Shlomo and Rav Shalom Boruch, both of whom also reside in Lakewood.

His sons-in-law are likewise outstanding marbitzei Torah. Rav Mordechai Helberg is a respected marbitz Torah in Monsey. Rav Avraham Meyer of Lakewood serves as a Rosh Chaburah at Bais Medrash Govoha. Rav Noson Faman serves as the Mashgiach at the Los Angeles Kollel, and Rav Moshe Lowy is a marbitz Torah in Monsey.

The levayah will take place today, Tuesday, at 4:45 PM at Bais Medrash Tiferes Gedalya, located at 9 North Saddle River Road in Monsey, followed by kevurah at the Monsey Bais Olam.

Yehi zichro baruch.

The Brooklyn woman accused of causing the devastating car crash that killed a mother and her two daughters is now threatening legal action against the NYPD over a prior mental health-related arrest — and has taken to social media to share footage of the incident.

“Tell me why you want to take me out when I said I’m OK and you barged in,” 35-year-old Miriam Yarimi is heard shouting at officers in an October video she posted to Instagram.

“I am not moving from my bed. If you guys have a problem with me exposing the truth, you can take it up with God.”

In the video, recorded during the police response inside her home, one officer tells her, “Ma’am, get your clothes.”

“I have clothes on,” she responds. “I’m not going anywhere. This is my bed. You barged into my home without my knowledge, without a warrant, without even a reason why you’re here, without a validating excuse as to what the phone call was even about.”

Moments later, the video shows the officers physically removing her from her bed.

“Look, look, look,” Yarimi says while filming. “I’m not even resisting. Look. This is to show you guys.”

Back in December, Yarimi was awarded $2 million in a separate abuse case involving the city. Now, according to the Daily News, she’s filed a notice of claim connected to the October police visit — a move that typically signals intent to sue.

She explained in her Instagram post that it was an ex who contacted authorities and falsely claimed she was suicidal.

Sources familiar with her situation say Yarimi and the father of her child have been locked in a fierce custody dispute over their daughter.

On March 11, she posted again, this time to TikTok, revisiting the altercation with law enforcement.

“They thought they could break me, but I’m coming back to buy the whole building,” she wrote in the caption of a video titled, “Don’t you ever underestimate me.”

Currently, Yarimi is in custody at Bellevue Hospital, facing manslaughter charges for a horrific crash that took place Saturday on Ocean Parkway. The tragedy claimed the lives of 32-year-old Natasha Saada and her daughters, 8-year-old Diana and 5-year-old Debra. Their 4-year-old brother, Philip, remains hospitalized in critical condition.

At the scene, according to reports, Yarimi allegedly told emergency workers that she was “possessed.”

YWN regrets to inform you of the sudden Petira of HaRav Yitzchok Spitzer Z”L, a distinguished Dayan in Skver and a prominent Mohel, who was Niftar suddenly on Tuesday afternoon at the age of 68. Harav Yitzchok Spitzer Z”L was widely revered for his deep knowledge of Halacha and unwavering dedication to Limud HaTorah. Known throughout the Skverer Kehilla and beyond, his halachic rulings were marked by clarity, depth, and sensitivity, even in the most complex situations. His decades as a Dayan and Mohel touched the lives of countless families. Tragedy struck Tuesday morning while the Niftar Z”L was inspecting a mikvah in a private home on Lincoln Avenue in New Square. He was found unconscious at the scene. New Square Hatzolah responded immediately and worked tirelessly to revive him, but despite their efforts, he was sadly Niftar. His sudden petira has left his family, the Skvere Kehilla, and all who knew him in deep shock and mourning. He is the father of Zevy Spitzer, the well-known coordinator of Ershte Hilf.

In a dramatic development in Israel’s Qatargate scandal, Judge Menachem Mizrachi of the Rishon Lezion Magistrate’s Court has detailed troubling suspicions involving high-level aides to Prime Minister Binyamin Netanyahu. According to Judge Mizrachi’s findings, there is “reasonable suspicion” that Yonatan Urich, a close aide to Netanyahu, and Eli Feldstein, formerly the prime minister’s spokesman, were involved in questionable financial dealings and unlawful ties with Qatar. The allegations include potential financial crimes and money laundering. Central to the investigation is an American lobbying firm, The Third Circle, headed by lobbyist Jay Footlik. The court documents state that Urich established direct connections with the firm to promote Qatar positively regarding its role in negotiating a hostage deal between Israel and Hamas. At the same time, Qatar allegedly sought to tarnish Egypt’s image as an impartial mediator in the negotiations. Judge Mizrahi outlined that a covert economic arrangement was allegedly set up, facilitated by Gulf-based Israeli businessman Gil Birger, involving monetary payments from The Third Circle to Feldstein, mediated by Urich. The funds, investigators suspect, were intended to incentivize media coverage sympathetic to Qatar, downplaying Egypt’s constructive role. The judge’s summary explicitly accuses Urich, Feldstein, and Birger of manipulating the media narrative to benefit Qatar, thus “dictating the media agenda” and undermining Egypt’s reputation. The revelations come as Mizrachi lifted a gag order that had repeatedly been breached, declaring that continued secrecy had become detrimental to the “proper conduct of the investigation.” (YWN World Headquarters – NYC)

Elected officials are ramping up pressure on Albany to pass the “Stop Super Speeders” bill, which would install “speed limiter” technology on vehicles of drivers with repeated speeding violations. The legislation has lingered in the state capital for years without enough support to become law, even as traffic deaths continue to outpace gun deaths in New York City for the second straight year, according to recent data. The renewed push follows a horrific incident in Brooklyn over the weekend, where a driver with a suspended license fatally struck a mother and her two daughters as they crossed the street. The woman’s son, a fourth victim, remains in critical condition. This tragedy could finally propel the bill forward, bringing it to the forefront of what Brooklyn Assemblymember Emily Gallagher described as a logjam of countless stalled proposals. “A lot of what happens when it comes to getting a bill to the top of the list is really through a movement and folks fighting for the bill,” said Gallagher, a co-sponsor of the legislation. She joined state Sen. Andrew Gounardes, another bill sponsor, and city Comptroller Brad Lander at a press conference Monday on the steps of Borough Hall in Downtown Brooklyn. They stood with members of Families for Safe Streets, demanding swift action. The bill would mandate intelligent speed assistance technology for drivers who rack up 11 or more license points in 24 months or receive six speed or red-light camera tickets in a year. “It’s no longer simply enough to shake our heads in despair when these preventable tragedies occur — it’s time for us to act,” Gounardes said. “The senselessness of this most recent crash is compounded by the fact that this car had dozens of speed and red-light violations, and the driver had a suspended license.” The proposal echoes the unimplemented Dangerous Vehicle Abatement Act, which aimed to require safety courses for repeat offenders or risk vehicle confiscation. It also resembles current state law mandating ignition interlock devices for those convicted of drunk driving. Gov. Kathy Hochul’s office has not yet indicated whether she backs the “Stop Super Speeders” bill, leaving its fate uncertain. (YWN World Headquarters – NYC)

In the West Bank village of Duma, about 50 Israeli settlers entered, set fire to property, and clashed with Palestinians, injuring several, according to the IDF. Troops and police intervened to disperse the violent confrontation, but no arrests were made, though five suspects briefly escaped custody. The IDF condemned the incident and vowed to maintain security.

The NYPD is currently investigating an assault that took place at the intersection of 13th Avenue and 47th Street. The suspect fled the scene in a white minivan, while EMS is on-scene treating the victim for their injuries.

U.S. Attorney General Pam Bondi said Tuesday that she has directed prosecutors to seek the death penalty against Luigi Mangione in the killing of UnitedHealthcare CEO Brian Thompson, following through on the president’s campaign promise to vigorously pursue capital punishment. It is the first time the Justice Department has sought to bring the death penalty since President Donald Trump returned to office in January with a vow to resume federal executions after they were halted under the previous administration. “Luigi Mangione’s murder of Brian Thompson — an innocent man and father of two young children — was a premeditated, cold-blooded assassination that shocked America,” Bondi said in a statement. She described Thompson’s killing as “an act of political violence.” Mangione, a 26-year-old Ivy League graduate from a prominent Maryland real estate family, faces separate federal and state murder charges after authorities say he gunned down Thompson, 50, outside a Manhattan hotel on Dec. 4 as the executive arrived for UnitedHealthcare’s annual investor conference. The killing and ensuing five-day manhunt leading to Mangione’s arrest rattled the business community, with some health insurers hastily switching to remote work or online shareholder meetings. It also galvanized health insurance critics — some of whom have rallied around Mangione as a stand-in for frustrations over coverage denials and hefty medical bills. Surveillance video showed a masked gunman shooting Thompson from behind. Police say the words “delay,” “deny” and “depose” were scrawled on the ammunition, mimicking a phrase commonly used to describe insurer tactics to avoid paying claims. Mangione’s lawyer, Karen Friedman Agnifilo, said Tuesday that in seeking the death penalty “the Justice Department has moved from the dysfunctional to the barbaric.” Mangione “is caught in a high-stakes game of tug-of-war between state and federal prosecutors, except the trophy is a young man’s life,” Friedman Agnifilo said in a statement, vowing to fight all charges against him. Bondi announced her decision the same day the Trump administration began mass layoffs at federal health agencies. Mangione’s federal charges include murder through use of a firearm, which carries the possibility of the death penalty. The state charges carry a maximum punishment of life in prison. Mangione has pleaded not guilty to a state indictment and has not yet been required to enter a plea on the federal charges. Prosecutors have said the two cases will proceed on parallel tracks, with the state case expected to go to trial first. It wasn’t immediately clear if Bondi’s announcement will change the order. Mangione was arrested Dec. 9 in Altoona, Pennsylvania, about 230 miles (about 370 kilometers) west of New York City and whisked to Manhattan by plane and helicopter. Police said Mangione had a 9mm handgun that matched the one used in the shooting and other items including a notebook in which they say he expressed hostility toward the health insurance industry and wealthy executives. Among the entries, prosecutors said, was one from August 2024 that said “the target is insurance” because “it checks every box” and one from October that describes an intent to “wack” an insurance company CEO. UnitedHealthcare, the largest U.S. health insurer, has said Mangione was never a client. Friedman-Agnifilo has said she would seek to suppress some of the evidence. Former President Joe Biden’s Justice Department filed the federal case against Mangione but left it […]

State Department spokesman Tammy Bruce: “The United States is determined to make sure Iran will not acquire a nuclear weapon. Trump has expressed willingness to pursue a deal with Iran. If the Iranian regime does not want to a deal, the President has other options — and those alternatives will be very bad for Iran.”

Russia is weighing American cease-fire suggestions for Ukraine with gravity, though it is not ready to agree to the terms currently on the table, a top Russian official stated on Tuesday — signaling that negotiations toward peace remain at a standstill.

“We take the models and solutions proposed by the Americans very seriously, but we can’t accept it all in its current form,” said Deputy Foreign Minister Sergei Ryabkov, as reported by Russian state outlets.

“As far as we can see, there is no place in them today for our main demand, namely to solve the problems related to the root causes of this conflict. It is completely absent, and that must be overcome,” Ryabkov continued.

His remarks, published in the Russian journal International Affairs, appear to confirm that the divide between the United States and Russia—first highlighted by President Vladimir Putin last month—has yet to be resolved. At the time, Putin asserted that the US-backed cease-fire blueprint required substantial revision.

Adding to the tension, President Trump recently voiced strong dissatisfaction with Putin’s actions, stating he is “pissed off” and has even floated the idea of slapping sanctions on nations that continue purchasing Russian oil should Moscow drag its feet on broader negotiations.

Meanwhile, Putin has reiterated his position, demanding that Ukraine abandon its aspirations to join NATO and accept Russian authority over four Ukrainian territories already claimed by Moscow.

On April 1st, Knesset member Simcha Rothman posted what he called a satirical legislative proposal, suggesting an official day to mourn the demise of Israeli democracy—an apparent April Fools’ Day prank.

“I am happy to announce that after hard work, we were able to place on the Knesset table one of the laws that I am most proud of,” wrote Rothman on social media. The Religious Zionism party representative has been a central force behind the coalition’s contentious judicial reform efforts, which opponents claim threaten the foundations of Israeli democracy.

He continued, “Immediately after the recess, I intend to present the proposal to the Ministerial Committee for Legislation and ensure that no one in the country forgets where we came from and where we are going.”

The mock legislation outlines a proposed annual remembrance day dedicated to honoring what it describes as the downfall of Israeli democracy—specifically citing the passage of legislation that altered the Judicial Selection Committee. The change, it says, allowed the opposition to have a say in judicial appointments and led to the supposed end of democratic governance.

In a theatrical twist, the bill also mandates an annual Knesset session on the topic, to be inaugurated by none other than Ronen Bar, described tongue-in-cheek as “the eternal head of the Shin Bet.”

Rothman’s post drew comparisons to a parody campaign ad from 2019 in which then-Justice Minister Ayelet Shaked promoted a fictitious perfume named “Fascism”—a pointed jab at critics of her judicial reform initiatives at the time.
