Bush to prepare for deployment, and plans are underway to ready a second aircraft carrier for deployment to the Middle East.In Antisemitism and Anti-Jewish Hate, Betty Taylor, a veteran campaigner against domestic violence and a Member of the Order of Australia, has threatened legal action after criticism of her tweet about Jewish school children, accusing the author of slander and threatening to sue if the post is not removed; the post was amplified by an antisemitic account and included criticism of the kids and the Jewish community. Separately, a cleric from the Ahmadiyya Muslim community participating in an interfaith summit in Washington warned that rising antisemitism is part of a broader intolerance that threatens all societies.In Israeli Domestic Politics, prosecutors have filed an indictment against a civilian and an IDF reservist for allegedly using classified operational information to place bets on military actions via the Polymarket website; the Tel Aviv District Court lifted a gag order at the request of the State Attorney’s cyber department, which said the reservist accessed the information through his army role and shared it with the civilian for wagering, with charges including serious security offenses, bribery, and obstruction of justice.
