The meeting comes days after the U.S. voted against a U.N. resolution condemning Russia for its invasion of Ukraine, and a day after Trump walked back his criticism of Zelensky as a “dictator.”
- The first stage of the hostage-release and cease-fire deal between Israel and Hamas ends tomorrow. Negotiations began in Cairo last night aimed at reaching an agreement on the second stage. Steve Witkoff, the Trump administration’s Middle East envoy, could head to the region as soon as Sunday if progress is made in the negotiations.
| At the beginning of the week, Barnard College was being praised by Jewish leaders and students for expelling two students who disrupted an Israeli history class at Barnard’s sister school, Columbia.
But on Wednesday night, dozens of anti-Israel demonstrators broke into the school’s main administrative building and refused to leave for hours, during which time a Barnard employee was assaulted by masked protesters. (The Wednesday demonstration was itself a response to the school’s expulsion of the students earlier in the week.)
The display at Barnard on Wednesday raises concerns about the level of anti-Israel activity that threatens to reemerge on college campuses this semester — the first semester of the second Trump administration.
President Donald Trump has pledged to crack down on campus antisemitism, signing an executive order days after taking office that the White House described as an effort to “marshal all federal resources” to “combat the explosion of antisemitism on our campuses and in our streets since Oct. 7, 2023.”
Senate Minority Leader Chuck Schumer (D-NY) condemned the “inappropriate and unacceptable” scene at Barnard College, saying it “must stand firm against this behavior and take prompt action to maintain a safe and welcoming environment for all its students,” Schumer said in a statement to Jewish Insider’s Emily Jacobs.

Some campuses have taken swift action to address anti-Israel activity that could invite scrutiny from Capitol Hill and the White House, as some of the more egregious incidents on campus did last year.
Their efforts include newly created task forces to address antisemitism, the cancellation of events featuring antisemitic speakers and the banning of some Students for Justice in Palestine chapters. In recent days, American University and Georgetown University administrators canceled or postponed anti-Israel events due to extremist speakers and content.
While some administrators may be shifting their approach to the debate over Israel on campus, there is less of a shift among students.
Campus professionals JI spoke to last summer had indicated hope that the summer break, coupled with the upcoming presidential election, would redirect activist efforts on campus away from the ongoing Israel-Hamas war, dialing down the tensions around pro- and anti-Israel organizing.
But that hope did not materialize — according to year-over-year data from the Israel on Campus Coalition, the fall 2024 semester saw more than 2,400 anti-Israel events on American college campuses, a spike from the fall 2023 semester — when the Oct. 7 Hamas terror attacks occurred — which saw approximately 1,550 anti-Israel campus events.
Those statistics reflect data from an ICC survey released yesterday that found that the Israel-Hamas war was one of two top issues for college students (the other being “costs and inflation”) — ranking above health care and immigration.
There is one glimmer of hope: The period beginning in January of this year and running through yesterday saw a drop in year-over-year anti-Israel campus organizing, from more than 800 events during January-February of 2024 to upwards of 650 in the last two months. That drop can likely be attributed to a mix of factors, among them the new Trump administration’s crackdown on college antisemitism and the first phase of a cease-fire and hostage-release deal between Israel and Hamas, which went into effect as many students were returning to campus.
Last year, the protests at Barnard and its sister school, Columbia, served as the catalyst for the explosion of anti-Israel activity that spread across college campuses over the course of the spring semester. How seriously university administrators at Barnard choose to respond to this week’s violent incident — and how much leeway student protesters feel they have — could set up the campus space for another disruptive, protest-filled semester. | changing course? Center for American Progress pushes aside Israel critic Patrick Gaspard from leadership  JACQUELYN MARTIN/AP In returning to the Center for American Progress last week as president and chief executive, Neera Tanden landed just where she had left off when she departed the influential liberal think tank four years ago to join the Biden administration as a top domestic policy advisor. But while her homecoming was heralded by the center as crucial to developing a new Democratic agenda to help counter President Donald Trump, it also came as a tacit rebuke of Patrick Gaspard, who led the organization in Tanden’s absence and is now serving as a distinguished senior fellow. The center made no mention of Gaspard in its announcement of the leadership change. But two people familiar with the situation confirmed to Jewish Insider’s Matthew Kassel that his move to a largely titular role was not voluntary. Instead, he was pushed aside to make room for Tanden, the sources said, speaking on condition of anonymity to discuss a sensitive issue.
‘Unsustainable path’: The demotion comes as Gaspard’s stewardship of CAP, which consistently failed to fundraise sufficiently to meet its roughly $50 million annual budget throughout his tenure, had fueled what one source with knowledge of the matter called a growing sense of “discomfort” among board members as well as “discontent” from donors about a lack of attention to fundraising. “The kindest thing I can say about him is he was not putting basic time and attention into his fundraising responsibilities,” the person told JI, noting that CAP “was on a very unsustainable path” when it chose to replace Gaspard. In a brief phone conversation with JI on Thursday, Gaspard denied he had been forced to relinquish his position leading the nonprofit. “This is categorically false information,” a CAP spokesperson added in a statement. “Patrick is an important part of the CAP family, and we are thrilled to continue our important work with him.”

To manage that alliance, Starmer named confidante Peter Mandelson as the new U.K. ambassador to Washington and tasked him with the relatively straightforward goal of keeping the Brits on the good side of the mercurial Trump, who has a habit of clashing even with close allies, Jewish Insider’s Gabby Deutch reports.
In his DNA: Mandelson, who is 71, is a savvy political operator who earned the nickname “Prince of Darkness” in the British press for his relentless spin tactics in the 1980s and 1990s. Mandelson’s father was Jewish, and although he did not raise his son within the Jewish faith, Israel was in his “political DNA, my family’s DNA,” Mandelson said at an Independence Day event at the Israeli Embassy in London in 2024. He has worked to reaffirm the Labour Party’s historical record of support for Israel after Starmer replaced vehemently anti-Israel party head Jeremy Corbyn in 2020. “I had an unwavering belief in Israel’s right to exist, as so many of us, the overwhelming majority, do in the Labour Party,” said Mandelson.

Intelligence failures: The inquiry, one of four released this week that investigated events leading up to and following Hamas’ attacks, found a “broad failure in intelligence gathering and research, across multiple levels and organizations in the knowledge and understanding of Hamas’ strategy, overarching objectives, capabilities, and operational plans over the years.” Israel’s mistaken assumptions included the view that Hamas in Gaza was a secondary threat, after Iran and Hezbollah, and while Hamas was viewed as “illegitimate,” no effort was made to develop an alternative governing entity.

Round two: The latest measure would ban the city from doing business with “governments engaged in genocide and apartheid — such as the state of Israel — and corporations doing business with them.” The previous measure was opposed strongly by senior Pennsylvania leaders, and several are speaking out once more. “It’s the electoral manifestation of antisemitism that’s escalated after 10/7. For the region of the Tree of Life [synagogue] massacre, it’s truly reprehensible to target the Jewish community and Israel,” Sen. John Fetterman (D-PA) told JI. “Governor Shapiro has long opposed plans to boycott, divest, and sanction Israel, and he remains opposed to these efforts,” a spokesperson for Democratic Gov. Josh Shapiro said.

Craig Goldman says he’ll lean in on any opportunity to support Israel, promote Middle East peace  TOM WILLIAMS/CQ-ROLL CALL, INC VIA GETTY IMAGES Rep. Craig Goldman (R-TX), the newest Jewish Republican member of the House, told Jewish Insider’s Marc Rod in a recent interview that he’s going to step up for any opportunity that presents itself to support Israel and promote peace in the Middle East.
Stepping up: Goldman was named last week as a new co-chair of the House Abraham Accords Caucus, his first major foray into Middle East policy leadership since taking office in January. “I was honored to be asked to be a part of it,” Goldman, one of three Jewish Republicans in the House, said. “Anything I can do to promote peace in the Middle East, promote Israel, I’m going to be a part of it.”
Read the full interview here. author interview Dara Horn’s return to history — and literature — after Oct. 7  PHOTO: Associated Press The last few years have been strange ones for writer Dara Horn. Used to creating imaginative Jewish worlds as a fiction writer, she published her first nonfiction book in 2021, expecting it to be a “detour.” Instead, the publication of People Love Dead Jews: Reports from a Haunted Present, about the very real and often very depressing world that real Jews inhabit, changed the course of her career. “I became this receptacle for all of these horror stories from Jewish readers,” Horn told Jewish Insider’s Gabby Deutch in an interview this week. “I was immersed in this dumpster fire that now all of us are living in.” Now, Horn has published her first new book in more than three years, One Little Goat: A Passover Catastrophe, a graphic novel, geared toward middle school-grade readers, about a family that gets stuck at their Seder for six months because their house is so messy that the children are unable to find the afikomen.
Scary Seder: Working on her first young-adult book and journeying through Jewish history — the plot involves time travel back through centuries of Seders — gave Horn some context about what was happening in her own life following Oct. 7. “I was in this absolutely dark place. And it's funny, because I could sort of say, like, ‘Oh, this was a distraction from that.’ It's not. It's the same story,” Horn said. “It's a kid's book. But this, to me, is what's so interesting about it. Passover is actually really scary.” The original Seder was the night before the Exodus, as the Israelites waited in their homes in ancient Egypt for the Angel of Death to pass them by. She drew a parallel to modern Israel and the shelters where Israelis have waited out thousands of Hamas, Hezbollah and Houthi rocket attacks.

The students involved in this sit-in need to be identified and expelled, immediately and without exception. Any non-students at the sit-in should be charged with trespassing. Face-hiding masks that prevent the identification of the wearer need to be banned from campus. And incoming students need to be told, if they haven’t been told already, that an elite education is a privilege that comes with enforceable expectations, not an entitlement they can abuse at will.” [NYTimes]
The Purplest State: In the first in a yearlong series of stories about Pennsylvania for The Washington Post, Salena Zito interviews Sens. Dave McCormick and John Fetterman to get a better understanding of the political dynamics in the swing state. “‘We’re going to agree on many things, we’re going to disagree on some things,’ Fetterman said. ‘And it’s never going to be about just trying to create needless drama. I don’t anticipate that ever happening.’ McCormick said that, in the days following Hamas’s Oct. 7, 2023, attack on Israel, he watched as Fetterman spoke out on camera and on social media in support of Israel — despite many in his own party expressing a stridently different worldview. ‘He did it with such clarity and forcefulness, and the things he was saying were so identical to the things I was saying that people started asking me what I thought of him,’ McCormick said. Even though he was in the middle of a campaign, his answer always was, ‘Well, I know at least on this issue — and probably some others — we agree.’” [WashPost]
Terrorists on Camera: Tablet’s Judith Miller reviews “September 5th,” and considers the links between the broadcasting of the 1972 Munich Olympics hostage crisis and the widespread dissemination of footage of the Oct. 7, 2023, Hamas terror attacks. “The film was in post-production when Oct. 7 took place. [Director Tim] Fehlbaum has said in interviews that no one associated with the film predicted that it would be released as Israel was reeling from this even more horrifying attack. But the Hamas terrorists had clearly absorbed the lessons of Sept. 5. They wanted their slaughter to be seen, virtually live, and celebrated. In fact, much of what we know about the massacre and abductions that day initially came from what the attackers themselves recorded, broadcast, and boasted about on their own social media. As such, a direct line can be drawn between the 1972 Munich Olympics, when ABC covered the terrorists, and Oct. 7, when the terrorists dispensed with their media intermediaries and recorded the slaughter themselves. Both generations of terrorists were performing for the camera. And as Fehlbaum clearly knows, viewers can’t look away.” [Tablet] | The Ramah that started it all.
