An American family whose loved ones told them they were about to be murdered by Hamas during a heartbreaking phone call have been informed their relatives are alive in a beacon of hope to dozens of distraught families.
Jay Zeitchek, 70, who lives in New Jersey, told DailyMail.com that the last words his family heard from their relatives in Israel as savage terrorists descended on their home were: 'I don't we can survive, I love you.'
They were then seen being taken hostage by gunmen in a chilling video circulating on social media.
13 Basic Facts to Defend Israel

During the past week, I found that even most well informed Americans know very little about the causes of the war between Jews and Arabs in Israel. Here is a summary of 13 basic facts I think every American should know:
Until 1964, the word “Palestinian” rarely described Arabs who once lived in Israel. That was when KGB Agents of Communist Russia created and funded a terrorist group called the Palestine Liberation Organization (PLO). Its leader, Yasser Arafat, was born and raised in Egypt. The PLO was as artificial as other effective and deadly groups communists used during the Cold War
Jim Jordan has been officially nominated as the Republican’s choice for Speaker, beating out Steve Scalise ally Austin Scott of Georgia. (X) It was not a massive margin, though. The total was 124-81.Cristina Laila previously reported that Jim Jordan entered the race for Speaker today. She also reported that Scott launched a last minute challenge to stop him.
Jordan will now face off against Minority Leader Hakeem Jeffries (D-NY) provided he can garner enough support. The Hill notes this could prove a challenge, however.
A controversial San Francisco progressive lawmaker has quit X, claiming he no longer feels safe after Elon Musk targeted him - but locals claim he's really left over outrage about his stance on the Israel massacre.
Dean Preston announced his plans to quit the social media site formerly known as Twitter earlier this week - and blamed a personal attack by its billionaire owner for driving him off.
Musk and other San Franciscans say Preston's progressive policies have contributed to the ruination of the city, now a byword for open drug-taking, ram-raids and violent crime. But many critics believe Preston is using the Musk excuse to deflect outrage over
President Joe Biden on Friday ignored questions from the press about a phone call he had with the families of the 14 Americans missing in Israel as he departed the White House on his way to Philadelphia. (X Video) The White House said Biden earlier in the day participated in a call with the families of the 14 Americans missing in Israel, seven days after Hamas launched terrorist attacks in the country on Saturday, killing more than 1,300.
The White House told reporters:
President Biden participated in a call with National Security Advisor Jake Sullivan,
Major US banks are continuing to close branches across the US, leaving an increasing number of Americans without access to basic financial services.
Bank of America axed 21 branches in the first week of October, according to a bulletin published by the Office of the Comptroller of the Currency (OCC) on Friday.
Wells Fargo shuttered 15, while US Bank and Chase reported closing nine and three respectively. In total, some 54 locations had either closed or were scheduled to close between October 1 and October 7. Of the overall closures, three were in Louisville in Kentucky. Eight of the 21 Bank of America closures were in California.

House Republicans tapped Rep. Jim Jordan (R-OH) as their nominee for speaker a day after their initial candidate, Majority Leader Steve Scalise (R-LA), failed to consolidate enough party support to win the majority vote on the full House floor.
In a closed-door meeting on Friday, Republicans voted 124-81 to nominate Jordan, giving him the edge over Rep. Austin Scott (R-GA), who announced his own long-shot bid for the speaker’s gavel earlier in the day. It’s not yet clear when Republicans will refer the matter to the full House for a vote because Jordan will still need to firm up support with a handful of holdouts.
The House Oversight Committee this week revealed that five White House employees were involved in Biden’s stolen classified documents case.
Joe Biden STOLE SCIF-designated classified documents and improperly stored them at the Penn Biden Center. (Photo) Biden also stored classified documents in his garage next to his Corvette where his son Hunter had access to the sensitive materials. (Photo) Nine boxes of documents were taken from Joe Biden’s lawyer’s Boston office and we have no idea what is in those boxes because the National Archives is covering up for Biden.
We've seen a lot of problematic responses from the left when it comes to the Hamas terrorist attacks on Israel.
But some of the worst from media have come from MSNBC. People have called them out for their horrible takes, including trying to "both sides" the attack by Hamas on Israel.
NewsNation host Dan Abrams singled out MSNBC anchors Ayman Mohyeldin, Mehdi Hasan, and Ali Velshi for saying the Hamas assault was the result of “failed policies” by Israel and the US.
Right. It’s Israel’s fault. It’s the United States fault,” Abrams said mockingly on Monday. “The policies that somehow justify or
As Israel reels from the deadliest terror attack in years by Hamas, the United Nations Security Council still does not recognize or sanction Hamas as a terror group — despite multiple other nations declaring it to be so.
"The U.N. Security Council votes to impose sanctions and designations on groups like al Qaeda, the Taliban or ISIS. But no such sanctions or designations exist for Iran’s axis of terror groups, including Hamas and Hezbollah," Richard Goldberg, senior adviser at the Foundation for Defense of Democracies, told Fox News Digital.
The Council, under resolutions passed in 1999, 2011 and 2015, sanctions ISIS and al Qaeda, along with associated individuals and groups.
Two Lebanese individuals identified as “special interest aliens” were apprehended at the U.S. southern border on Thursday and are currently undergoing background vetting, reports indicate.
Customs and Border Protection sources “confirm that 2 men in their early to mid 20s from Lebanon were apprehended in Eagle Pass, TX,” an X post from Fox News National Correspondent Griff Jenkins reads. “They are considered ‘special interest aliens’ and are currently undergoing extensive background vetting.”
Harvard president Claudine Gay has condemned the 'barbaric atrocities perpetrated by Hamas' - but rejected calls to punish pro-Palestine groups who justified the attack that killed over 1,000 Israelis.
In her third statement since the attacks on Saturday, Gay posted a video message titled 'Our Choices' on Thursday to social media addressing calls for the Harvard students who blamed Israel for the horrific attack to be punished.
'People have asked me where we stand so let me be clear, our university rejects terrorism. That includes the barbaric atrocities perpetrated by Hamas. Our university rejects hate - hate of Jews, hate of Muslims, hate of any group of people

In a time when Americans in Israel are relying on their government for support and protection, the U.S. State Department’s Consular Affairs Crisis Management System (CACMS) has left many American citizens hanging in the wind, demanding them to sign promissory notes as a precondition for any assistance in evacuating from the crisis-hit region.
The so-called “assisted departure options” were outlined in an email sent to American citizens stranded in the Middle Eastern nation, stating that the U.S. government would offer loans for transportation.
The Biden regime’s assistance to Americans wishing to depart Israel will come at a financial cost.
Rep. Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez of New York is naming Christian fundamentalism as a key driver of the ongoing conflict between Israel and Palestine, pointing to recent US actions in the region.
Speaking on local New York radio station Hot 97/WQHT on Thursday morning, the progressive Democratic congresswoman argued that the conflict was not simply the result of Islamic fundamentalism and Israeli extremism.
"It's not just Islamic, it's not just Jewish, it is also Christian," said Ocasio-Cortez. "In the United States of America, Christian fundamentalism and nationalism — which has also been extremely anti-Semitic — has also aligned itself with some of the most right-wing and authoritarian and inflammatory powers in the region."
Over a dozen business executives are joining the call to blacklist the Harvard students who put out a statement that blamed Israel for the Hamas attack, while the group whined about being persecuted in the aftermath.
CEOs from EasyHealth, Belong, FabFitFun, Inspired, DoveHill and many more joined billionaire hedge fund manager Bill Ackman in the charge of outing the members of 31 student organizations who issued the statement on Sunday.
Ackman said, 'One should not be able to hide behind a corporate shield when issuing statements supporting the actions of terrorists, who, we now learn, have beheaded babies, among other inconceivably despicable acts.'
This is the moment a BBC journalist broke down in tears while reporting from inside a hospital in war-torn Gaza as he described having 'seen things I can never unsee'.
BBC Arabic reporter Adnan El-Bursh fell to his knees and removed his glasses before wiping his face as he was overcome by emotion at the Al Shifa Hospital yesterday.
Mr El-Bursh and his team - including cameraman Mahmoud al-Ajrami, who was also left in tears - had discovered that their friends, relatives and neighbours were among those injured or killed in the hospital and he described how 'bodies lay everywhere'.

JERUSALEM — Israel’s military on Friday directed the evacuation of northern Gaza, a region that is home to 1.1 million people — about half of the territory’s population — within 24 hours, a U.N. spokesman said.
This could signal an impending ground offensive, though the Israeli military has not yet confirmed such an appeal. On Thursday it said that while it was preparing, a decision has not yet been made.
The order, delivered to the U.N., comes as Israel presses an offensive against Hamas militants. U.N. spokesman Stéphane Dujarric called the order “impossible” without “devastating humanitarian consequences.”

US Secretary of State Antony Blinken called Friday on Israel to limit Palestinian civilian deaths as he worked to set up safe areas in the Gaza Strip, seeking to keep calm in the Arab world following a major Hamas attack.
After a solidarity visit to Tel Aviv, Blinken, on a six-nation tour of the Arab world, again defended Israel's right to respond but also stepped up the tone on protecting innocent Palestinians. "We have urged the Israelis to use every possible precaution to avoid harm to civilians," Blinken told a news conference in Qatar.
"We recognise many Palestinian families in Gaza are suffering through no fault of their own
Rep. Steve Scalise (R-LA) is withdrawing from the race for Speaker of the House after a brutal day that saw him hemorrhage support from between 30 and 40 Republican colleagues.
“Our conference still has to come together and we’re not there,” Scalise told his colleagues during a hastily called conference meeting at the Capitol. “There are still some people that have their own agendas.” (X) Scalise is expected to remain Majority Leader, although who will seek the Speaker’s gavel is not clear. Rep. Patrick McHenry (R-NC), currently Speaker Pro Tem, has been encouraged by some of his colleagues to seek the position permanently.

US president has pledged to give new military assistance to Israel and said the attack by Hamas on Saturday was the 'deadliest day for Jews since the Holocaust'. Speaking at a Jewish community event in Washington DC, Biden reiterated that he backed Israel but also called on Israel prime minister Benjamin Netanyahu to 'operate by the rules of war'. At least 1,100 Israelis have died since Hamas launched a deadly attack on Israel on Saturday, and at least 1,100 Palestinians were killed in Israel's retaliation
University of Wisconsin Women’s basketball coach Marisa Moseley bemoaned “run-of-the-mill” white kids on her team.
“If you look at my team, you know, we’re pretty much the United Nations. I have the first Indian woman to ever play at the Power 5. I have kids who are Nigerian and kids who are Dominican and kids who are Mexican and kids who are run of the mill white because they’re still there too,” Moseley said.
As soon as she realized she , “My mom is white just so nobody is offended. My mom is a white woman from the Berkshires. Very white.”

The Biden administration is preventing Iran from accessing the $6 billion the U.S. recently transferred after Hamas, an Iranian-backed terrorist group, launched a brutal attack against Israel, The Washington Post reported Thursday.
The Biden administration originally cut a deal with Iran to transfer $6 billion in previously frozen assets in exchange for five American prisoners. The administration is now working with fund manager Qatar to hold up the $6 billion after Iran’s ally Hamas launched a wave of attacks against Israel on Saturday, killing over 1,200 Israelis and at least 25 Americans and kidnapping hundreds more.
Sen. John Fetterman, D-Pa., joined late night host Stephen Colbert on Wednesday and said Americans weren't sending their "best and brightest" to Capitol Hill, arguing that it is "scary."
