Three of the four Israeli hostages who were rescued of Saturday were found in the home of a Gaza-based journalist who had previously written for Al Jazeera. The hostages, who were captured by Hamas terrorists during the brutal and unprovoked attacks of October 7, were discovered inside the home of Abdallah Aljamal. Aljamal had written for Al Jazeera as recently as 2019 — although the outlet has said that he was never an employee — and had since been writing for The Palestine Chronicle and serving as spokesman for Gaza’s Hamas-controlled labor ministry. An initial report from Ramy Abdu — founder and chairman of the Euro-Mediterranean Human Rights Monitor — claimed that Israeli soldiers had raided Aljamal’s home and killed him along with several members of his family. Israel has confirmed that Aljamal was killed in the Saturday special forces raid that rescued hostages Almog Meir Jan, 21, Andri Kozlov, 27, and Shlomi Ziv, 41 — but made no mention of his family. “This is further proof that the Hamas terrorist organization uses the civilian population as a human shield,” the Israel Defense Forces said in a statement after special forces rescued the hostages from Aljamal’s home in Nuseirat — which was located near a refugee camp. The fourth hostage who was rescued during Saturday’s operations was 26-year-old Noa Argamani, who recounted several instances during her eight months in captivity when she believed she was going to die. When she first arrived in Gaza, after being snatched off the street at the Nova music festival, she said that she expected to be lynched. Sometime later, she recounted seeing a missile land in the house where she was being held. “I saw the missile enter the house; I was sure I was going to die,” she said. “I thought that was it, but I stayed alive.” Finally, the raid that ultimately resulted in her rescue was so chaotic that, for a time, she believed she might not survive it.

North Dakota Governor Doug Burgum, who is a veepstakes contender, touted on Sunday how much former President Donald Trump got done over the last few days on a West Coast campaign trail swing while arguing that President Joe Biden could not keep up. “Wow, I wish America could see President Trump on the stump like I’ve seen him in the last 72 hours,” Burgum said during an interview on Fox News Channel’s “Fox & Friends Weekend” with co-hosts Will Cain, Rachel Campos-Duffy, and Pete Hegseth. “I mean, first of all, I spent my career in technology,” Burgum said. “I knew a lot of super hardworking tech CEOs, but nobody works harder than President Trump. I mean, the number of speeches he gave, the number of hands he’s shaken, his hand, literally, like people shaking his hand so hard he’s got it bruised, but the guy just keeps on going.” .@DougBurgum: Nobody works harder than President Trump… It's impossible to imagine Joe Biden doing ONE of these events, much less back-to-back-to-back events for 72 hours. When people see President Trump, they see the depth of his care about the country. pic.twitter.com/q3ngbjb6N8 — Trump War Room (@TrumpWarRoom) June 9, 2024 “And roundtables, talking to people about the issues that matter to them, listening and curious and digging in,” he added. “I mean, it’s impossible to imagine Joe Biden doing one of these events, much less back-to-back to back-to-back for 72 hours, flying around between Arizona and Nevada, Northern California, Southern California. It’s really incredible. Polls show a close race between Trump and Biden less than five months out from Election Day in November. While Trump contents with a flurry of criminal cases while seeking a second term, Biden has sought to shrug off concerns about his mental health and physical fitness as the 81-year-old has looked frail or appeared to lose his train of thought at times. Burgum, who is one of the Republicans to whom Trump’s campaign has reportedly sent vetting materials amid the search for a running mate, argued that the excitement in this year’s election appears to be on Trump’s side ahead of his expected rematch against Biden. “I think that when people see him, they see the depth of his care about the country. And he’s right on all the issues that matter,” Burgum said of Trump. “And that’s why you’ve got record fundraising happening. That’s why you have record turnout. That’s why I have people lining the streets, because they know that he’s the guy that’s going to solve the issues that they care about: the border, inflation, wars abroad, all these things. And it’s very exciting.” Burgum declined to address being on Trump’s list of potential vice presidents, saying he would “just defer any questions back to the Trump campaign team,” adding that the former president has a “chance to win” in the battleground states of Virginia and Minnesota.

Peet Montzingo has been hilariously “sound-effecting” his mom’s life with a trombone for years, and a compilation video of the pranks over time is one of the best things we’ve seen on social media. Peet is a media personality, influencer, and author. He’s also a musician who is constantly finding ways to use his trombone to playfully annoy his mom, Vicki. While Vicki goes about her daily routine, Peet sneaks up and sound effects what she does, and he’s extremely creative. Fortunately, Vicki is a good sport. While she glares and rolls her eyes, she still thinks the running joke is hilarious, and she can never stop herself from laughing. @peetmontzingo this needs to be reshared its been too long lmao ♬ original sound – Peet Montzingo Peet Gifts His Mom A Custom Trombone For Mother’s Day Peet posts videos of his trombone pranks on his social media accounts, and his fans can’t get enough of them.
