"FBI Director Warns of Passover Threats to Jewish Community"

FBI Director Christopher Wray has alerted nationwide security officials about potential threats to the US Jewish community ahead of Passover, citing concerns about lone actors targeting large gatherings and religious locations. The FBI has seen a significant increase in anti-Jewish hate crime investigations following a terrorist attack on Israel, with a dramatic upward trend of incidents reported after the start of the Israel-Hamas war. Wray also warned about a range of threats from abroad, including calls by foreign terrorist organizations to target Jewish communities in the US and Europe, as well as state-sponsored threats from Iran.

Netanyahu caves to public pressure, delays judicial overhaul.

Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu has delayed the votes on his planned judicial overhaul until after the Jewish Passover holiday, but experts say it may not be enough to quell the ongoing protests and mass strikes. Protesters are "ready" for the reform and have the infrastructure to take to the streets at any moment. The protests may continue unless Netanyahu publicly admits he was mistaken and holds all future motivations to renew the judicial reform. The military may also be affected as some members begin to divide into camps for and against the judicial overhaul.
