FALLONSpeaking alongside her husband Ronen on Thursday at the Republican National Committee midterm convention in Dallas, Orna Neutra - whose son Omer was killed on October 7 attacks - drew a direct line between the anniversary of September 11 and the ongoing conflict.Appearing with other families of hostages, Neutra recalled being pregnant in New York City during the 2001 attacks. "I was 8 months pregnant in New York City on that date," Neutra told the audience. "I remember walking across the Queensboro Bridge, focused on one thing only, carrying my unborn son to safety."Reflecting on the loss of her son, she added, "For our family, the connection to October 7th is impossible to ignore. The same hatred, the same glorification of murder, and the same responsibility to stand together against it."Trump says he does not regret Iran war despite impact it may have on midterm electionsPresident Donald Trump said he did not regret going to war against Iran despite the impact the conflict may have on the November U.S. midterm elections."I don't believe in the word 'regret.' You can always question yourself a little bit," Trump said in an interview with Fox News host Laura Ingraham when asked if he regretted the Iran war due to the impact it may have on the elections."If I had it do again, I would do exactly as I did," Trump said in the interview broadcast on Thursday on "The Ingraham Angle" show.Trump dismissed suggestions that some of his supporters were upset and demoralized about the war. "I don't think they're demoralized. I think they're very proud of the fact that I'm not letting Iran have a nuclear weapon," Trump said.Trump reiterated his thinking that the war will end immediately after the midterm election."It ends right after the election," Trump said in the interview. He made similar comments on Wednesday, alleging Tehran was trying to influence the elections that ‌will ⁠determine whether Trump's Republican Party retains control of Congress.13 minutes agoU.S. support for Palestinians continues to eclipse sympathy for IsraelisPeople participate in a 'Stop starving Gaza' march in New York City last year.

Credit: Eduardo Munoz / ReutersWASHINGTON - Slightly more American voters say their sympathies lie more with Palestinians than Israelis, according to a new poll from Quinnipiac University, more evidence of the growing animosity toward Israel among the U.S. electorate.Thirty-eight percent of voters said they favored the Palestinians, compared with 35 percent of Israelis with the remainder expressing new preference. It's the first time in the history of Quinnipiac's regular polling that more Americans have favored Palestinians than Israelis.It builds on similar findings from Gallup, which has tracked sympathies for each side since 2002 and found Palestinians beating out Israelis — 41 percent to 36 percent — for the first time in February.But it's a sharp reversal from the immediate aftermath of the Oct. 7 Hamas terrorist attacks in Israel, when 54 percent of respondents told Quinnipiac researchers that they were more sympathetic to Israelis and only 24 percent sided with the Palestinians.Part of the shift comes from Republicans, who have historically been more supportive of Israel, becoming more supportive of the Palestinians. Thirteen percent said their sympathies lie more with the Palestinians in the survey released Thursday compared with seven percent who said that in November 2023.Other findings in the poll included that 48 percent of American voters believe the U.S. is too supportive of Israel, including 57 percent of independent voters, while 8 percent believe it is not supportive enough and 34 percent believe the current level of support is appropriate.UKMTO reports projectiles hit two vessels near Oman's KhasabFour unknown projectiles hit two vessels 4 nautical miles west of Oman's Khasab, causing a fire on one vessel and leaving the status of the second vessel unknown, the United Kingdom Maritime Trade Operations said on Thursday.The master of another vessel reported seeing the projectiles hit the two vessels about 6 nautical miles north of his position, UKMTO said.RECAP: One Palestinian killed in Israeli strike on Gaza; Israel destroys strategic Hezbollah strongholdHere are Thursday's latest updates:■ One Palestinian was killed and others were reported wounded in an Israeli strike north of Khan Younis, Quds News Network reported.■ Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu said the Israeli military destroyed an underground Hezbollah complex in the Ali Taher ridge in Lebanon, according to a joint statement by Netanyahu and Defense Minister Israel Katz.■ The United Nations' atomic watchdog confirmed it has seen evidence of Iranian activity near the Pickaxe Mountain nuclear site near Natanz, Bloomberg reported.■ U.S. and Middle Eastern officials said Iran has resumed producing ballistic missiles in underground facilities using stockpiled components, The Wall Street Journal reported.In the NewsIDF Destroys Underground Hezbollah Complex at Lebanon's Ali al-TaherIn Israel, Women Can Choose When to Have Children.
