Media Miss by the left: Netanyahu appears to blame UK for Manchester synagogue attack

Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu appears to be blaming U.K. Prime Minister Keir Starmer for the terror attack on a Manchester synagogue that left two people dead.

In a social media post, Netanyahu said he warned the United Nations that “weakness in the face of terrorism only brings more terrorism,” apparently referencing a speech he gave to the U.N. after the U.K. joined a growing list of nations that recognize a Palestinian state the week before the attack.

In response to the deadly attack, Starmer vowed to increase police and security for Jewish places of worship and to do “everything” within his power to defend Jewish citizens and defeat what he described as rising antisemitism in the U.K.

Media Miss by the right: Russia, Ukraine rolling out POW swap

Russia and Ukraine have agreed to a prisoner swap at a 1:1 ratio as part of a larger “1,000 for 1,000” agreement where they’ll each return 1,000 captured soldiers to the opposing side.

The agreement is being broken down into smaller phases, with 185 soldiers from each side being returned to their homeland in the first phase last week. Twenty civilians were also released as part of the exchange.

Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelenskyy said most of the Ukrainian soldiers coming home in the exchange had been held captive by Russia since 2022.
