1 day ago | thejc.com | Nathan Jeffay

Alexander, 21, was shackled hand and foot, starved for long periods and referred to only as “the American” during his 584-day captivity. He said Hamas beat him repeatedly and kept him in a pitch-black tunnel. US envoy Steve Witkoff visited Alexander at Ichilov Hospital and placed a Star of David necklace around his neck, originally worn by Witkoff’s son Andrew, who died aged 22 – a year older than Alexander.

Corporal G, one of the battalion’s paramedics, spoke candidly about the challenges she faced integrating into an all-male platoon. “The hardest thing wasn’t hygiene or anything about being a woman – it was proving that I belonged,” she told the JC. “It was about showing the male soldiers that I could do everything they could.” Her turning point came during a critical moment under pressure. “It was during my first treatment in Gaza, about eight months ago,” she recalled.

Alexander was not released as part of the Israel–Hamas hostage negotiations but through a parallel track between Washington and Hamas. Israel was informed only after Hamas had approved the handover. The move is being interpreted by some as a sign of Trump’s exasperation with the pace of the Israeli process. His family have since confirmed that he will not, as previously reported, fly to Qatar to meet US President Trump.

What does the new pope mean for Jewish-Catholic relations? - The Jewish Chronicle

5 days ago | thejc.com | Jane Prinsley

Vatican II marked a shift in the Catholic Church’s approach to Judaism. Its landmark 1965 document, Nostra Aetate, declared that Jews were not responsible for the death of Jesus, helping to lay the groundwork for a new era of Catholic-Jewish relations. It was during this post-Nostra Aetate period, in the late 1970s and early 1980s, that Leo studied for the priesthood under Pawlikowski.

“I thought the world had to know a bit more – we hear so much negative stuff,” he says of his wanting to bear witness to the aftermath of the Hamas attacks. “There are two sides to every story, and we're only being told one. I wanted to hear it from the other side, and I think we got very honest opinions when we were over there – some good, some bad – and somewhere in between, I believe there was the truth. And I don't believe we've been told that truth anywhere in the Western media.

“For me, that British Jews are not only safe, but also feel safe, is one our top priorities as a government … It is unacceptable that this could have ever happened,” he added. Khan said that as faith minister he wanted to “to tackle antisemitism, to promote interfaith relationships, to increase our engagement with different faiths … but also to increase faith literacy and to tackle religious hate crime in all its forms”.

Most concerning to the US, though, is the indications from the Gulf state that, were its regional rival Iran to gain a nuclear weapon, it would feel the need to do the same. Talks between the Trump administration and Tehran about the restriction of the latter’s nuclear programme are yet to yield an agreement.
