🗳 🇺🇸 🇮🇱 Rift between El-Sayed and pro-Israel Democratic primary rival puts Michigan Jews on edge An 11th-hour public feud between Michigan Democratic U.S. Senate candidate Abdul El-Sayed and his pro-Israel former primary rival is further exacerbating tensions between Jewish voters and the nominee ahead of Tuesday’s midterm elections. U.S. Rep. Haley Stevens, who this summer narrowly lost the race for the Democratic nomination to El-Sayed, had previously endorsed her former competitor and was set to join him at a rally Sunday in the crucial final days of campaigning. Michigan is locked in a tight race that could help determine which party controls the Senate. Instead of a show of unity, Stevens is now forcefully criticizing El-Sayed for his recent criticism of Israel and for not condemning a PAC ad, made by an outside group to boost his campaign, that blamed Israel for rising grocery prices. El-Sayed has shot back, invoking Stevens’ close relationship with the pro-Israel lobby AIPAC. Stevens, who represents a large Jewish district in suburban Detroit, unloaded on El-Sayed Friday in a series of interviews with the New York Times published early Saturday morning. The feud comes at a moment when much of the Democratic establishment has coalesced behind El-Sayed in the key Senate race, even as deep concerns remain among many traditionally Democratic Jewish voters. Stevens’ own fiancée, Jewish Democratic megadonor Jason Turkish, said this week he would be voting for Republican nominee Mike Rogers. Stevens told the Times she had met with a rabbi in advance of their wedding and was mulling converting to Judaism. https://www.jta.org/2026/10/31/politics/rift-between-el-sayed-and-pro-israel-democratic-primary-rival-puts-michigan-jews-on-edge

📢 🇸🇻 🇭🇹 Nayib Bukele announced a military operation to rescue four El Salvadoran aviation technicians held hostage by gangs in Haiti, stating they were kidnapped while returning from buying food. To the gang leaders and gang members holding our four compatriots hostage in Haiti: Our kidnapped men are not combatants. They are aviation technicians who are part of our mission in Haiti, within the framework of an international mission. Our mission consists only of pilots and technical personnel, whose primary job is to carry out medical evacuations and save lives, not to wage war. However, they were kidnapped in a cowardly manner while returning after buying food at a market in the area. That is why, today, we have launched a military operation to rescue them. We have a single objective: to bring our four compatriots back home alive, without any harm. However, I want you, the gang leaders, to understand one thing very clearly: today's attack is nothing compared to what is coming if we do not get all four hostages back alive. And do not take our word for empty threats. We have already finished with the gangs in El Salvador, and we can finish with you too. We still have time to avoid this. Return our four compatriots to us alive, without any harm, and everything will go back to how it was before the kidnapping. The decision is in your hands.  📎 Nayib Bukele

🇺🇸⛽️ Donald Trump mocks Americans concerned about rising gas prices and happily boasts that the oil industry in the U.S. is earning more money "like never before" due to the spike in gas prices caused by his wars "While oil prices are temporarily high and will be falling dramatically in a short period of time, like as soon as the war is over, (...) the U.S. oil industry is making hundred of billions of dollars (...) because of what's happening in the Middle East, money that is coming to Texas, Oklahoma, Louisiana, (...) they've got so much oil and on top of it we have Venezuela who has so much oil and Greenland, Greenland has a lot of oil, so we're making hundreds of billions, trillions of USDs. My people [advisors] told me not to mention that because Americans are paying a little more money [for gas] but that number is gonna come way down, this is what we've done for this country, we're making money like we've never made before (...)" @CIG_telegram
