Çiftçi, who served as governor of the Erzurum region until February, said that during his time as governor, he had "a heartfelt plea to the Almighty." "The plea I nurtured deep within me was this: O Lord, grant me the governorship of Jerusalem, even if just for a single day," he said. "Just as in the past, those lands will be ours once again. God willing, they will come under our sovereignty and dominion once more," Çiftçi said, crediting Turkish President Recep Tayyip Erdoğan's stature as a "global leader" for such developments. Speaking to Haaretz, an Israeli source said Çiftçi was outflanking Erdoğan from the right with his anti-Israel statements. "He is not a heavyweight political figure, but he is also not a clown," the source said, adding that since he was appointed minister, Çiftçi has been marked as an Erdoğan loyalist. Separately, the source said a dual Israeli-Turkish citizen was arrested earlier Sunday in Antalya after being flagged for serving in the Israeli military. "The man is not in good health and was, in any case, discharged from the army," the source said.

Iran has typically retaliated against resolutions against it at the International Atomic Energy Agency, escalating its nuclear activities or ‌scaling back cooperation.Previous IAEA board resolutions on Iran, submitted by the U.S., Britain, France and Germany, have passed by wide margins. One ‌adopted in November demanded that Iran inform the agency "without delay" about the status of its enriched uranium stock and damaged sites - something that has yet to happen.Netanyahu discusses 'anti-Israel lawfare' with senior Trump administration lawyers Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu met with senior legal advisors in the Trump administration Sunday to discuss the threat of "anti-Israel lawfare," his office said.

"I'd like to see a more surgical attack on Hezbollah." U.S. and Israeli forces began strikes on Iran on February 28. The Trump administration has been trying to negotiate a potential peace deal for weeks. "We're very close to a deal, or I'm going to blow the hell ⁠out of them," Trump told NBC News. The president also said he would be willing to speak with Iran's supreme leader, ‌Ayatollah Mojtaba Khamenei, who ⁠has not been seen in public since being ‌wounded in U.S. strikes at the beginning of the conflict. "I don't want to say whether or not I know where he ⁠is, but there's a good probability that I do," Trump said. Top Trump administration officials, such as Secretary of State Marco Rubio, insist a temporary cease-fire agreement has been holding up despite recent ‌U.S. strikes on Iran, telling lawmakers last week those are defensive actions.In the NewsWhat's Behind Reports of Israeli Espionage Against the United States?'While Soldiers Detained Us, Settlers Stole Our Sheep'What's the Difference Between Jewish and Palestinian Terror?An Oct. 7 Hero Made LGBTQ Couples Equal in Death.
