Israel-Palestine

Taylor Swift's security guard, who went viral for how well he protected the singer during her "Eras" tour, is back home in Israel ... joining the army in the fight against Hamas terrorists.

The singer's bodyguard flew back to the Middle East amid the deadly fight, according to Eran Swissa of news outlet Israel Hayom -- who said the unnamed guard claimed he "couldn't stand by while families were slaughtered and burned alive in their homes."

He urges others to not "stand by and do nothing. Don't be on the wrong side of history." He also put Hamas aggressors on blast, saying, "It would be an insult to animals around the world to call these terrorists 'animals.’"

Taylor's guard was reportedly once a member of the IDF before coming over to the U.S., too.

The guard first garnered attention this summer after a viral TikTok showed him doing a near-perfect security detail for the singer while she performed in Kansas City.

He really stole the show online, with one fan claiming he "scanned a thousand people in the crowd in six seconds, six seconds flat. Whatever Taylor Swift's paying him, it's not enough."

Floyd Mayweather's jet just touched down in Israel, loaded with over 5,000 lbs. of supplies for Israeli civilians and military ... days after the legendary boxer pledged his support for the country in the wake of the Hamas attacks.

TMZ Sports was told Mayweather's jet landed in Israel early Sunday evening (local time) with over 100 boxes of necessary supplies. Late last week the plane was loaded floor to ceiling with boxes in Los Angeles, brought on the plane by volunteers, including Floyd's TMT bodyguards.

Mayweather was already one of the most vocal celebs in pledging support for Israel, but when it became clear there was a need for a plane to deliver supplies, we're told Floyd stepped up in a big way.

Floyd, working with his friend Jona Rechnitz, along with Maya Sinai and David and Gitel Rubin, sourced the jet and pilots (TBE's), and thousands of pounds of supplies, to fly across the world to Israel and deliver to the IDF and civilians.

Just getting there was a trek ... the plane went from L.A. to NYC to London and then finally Tel Aviv ... just miles from a war zone.

“David Rubin is the child of Holocaust survivors. He is so tuned in to do anything he can for the survival of the Jewish people. When I called Floyd and asked him if he would be willing to send his plane to Israel with necessary supplies for soldiers, he said, 'Of course. I got your back. I don’t care how much it costs. Make it happen,'” Rechnitz said of Floyd's willingness to help.

Floyd's actions shouldn't come as a surprise ... he immediately condemned last weekend's attacks, and has made it very clear where he stands.

"I stand with Israel and Jews all around the world. I condemn antisemitism at all cost. I stand for Peace. I stand for Human Rights! Terrorism Is Never The Answer!"

Note: Mayweather has started a fundraiser, selling custom TMT Israel hats ... with proceeds going to Leket, an Israeli food bank.

Pete Davidson delivered a truly heartfelt display of his feelings about the war in Israel during the cold open of the show, and he has a rare perspective that makes everything he said compelling.

Pete, at first he was a good person to talk about the inhumane Hamas terrorist attack and the ensuing war. As you know, Pete's dad, a NYC firefighter, died during 9/11 when Pete was only 7, so he knows what a terrorist attack can do on the surviving family, especially kids.

His heart breaks for all the death of innocent people, especially both Israeli and Palestinian children. He told the audience, no one deserves to suffer like this, especially kids.

He goes on to say his heart breaks for everyone whose lives were destroyed.

His opening monologue was raunchy. Pete says he and his sister have nothing in common, so they decided to bond by watching "Game of Thrones," and the whole incest thing came up which made things super uncomfortable! And then he gets even wilder.

He was super good ... especially in the cold open.

As we told you, both Taylor Swift and Travis Kelce made cameos on the show and hit the town hand-in-hand.

They chowed down at Nobu in NYC before the show.

Pete Davidson dijo unas palabras muy sentidas acerca de la guerra en Israel durante el show y tiene una perspectiva poco común que hace que todo lo que dijo sea convincente.

Pete era el indicado para hablar sobre el inhumano ataque terrorista de Hamás y la guerra posterior. Por si no lo sabías, el padre de Pete era bombero de Nueva York y murió durante el 11-S cuando Pete solo tenía 7 años, así que sabe muy bien lo que un ataque terrorista puede causar, especialmente a los niños.

Su corazón se rompe por todas las muertes de inocentes, especialmente de niños israelíes y palestinos. Dijo al público que nadie merece sufrir así, especialmente los niños.

Continúa diciendo que su corazón se rompe por todas las vidas destruidas.

Su monólogo inicial fue intenso. Pete dijo que él y su hermana no tienen nada en común, así que decidieron unirse como familia viendo "Juego de Tronos". La famosa serie sirvió de trampolín para bromear con el incesto generando un momento incómodo. Sin embargo, las cosas se pusieron aún más salvajes.

Como informamos, tanto Taylor Swift como Travis Kelce hicieron cameos en el programa y llegaron a la ciudad de la mano.

Comieron en Nobu (Nueva York) antes del show.

El padre de Drake, Dennis Graham, no siente que su hijo necesite hablar sobre la violencia en Israel y Gaza porque cualquier comentario le será echado en cara en la corte de la opinión pública.

Hablamos con Dennis en LAX y ciertamente no parecía que hubiera hablado con Drake, quien es judío, sobre sus reflexiones en relación con el ataque terrorista de Hamas y la respuesta militar de Israel -- pero está seguro que le está afectando a Drake, como a todos los demás.

El silencio de Drake, en particular, ha sido un tema candente en las redes sociales gracias a DJ Vlad ... quien ha estado haciendo un llamado a Drizzy y DJ Khaled, que es palestino, por no utilizar sus inmensas redes sociales para hablar sobre la crisis.

Dennis dice que las celebridades reciben muchas más reacciones cuando abordan públicamente temas candentes y está seguro que con Drake no será diferente.

Sin embargo, el orgulloso padre seguía apoyando totalmente el trabajo de su hijo -- luciendo de pies a cabeza la mercancía de "For All the Dogs". También nos aseguró que Drake estará bien ... refiriéndose a los problemas estomacales que provocaron su pausa en la música.

Drake dijo que podría estar ausente por más de un año, y Dennis es su padre, no su médico -- pero hizo eco de mucho de lo que dijo Drake ... es algo menor, no es grave.

También preguntamos sobre la rutina de cocrianza de Drake, a raíz de que publicara una gran foto familiar con Adonis y la madre de Adonis.

Drake's dad, Dennis Graham, doesn't feel his son needs to speak out about the violence in Israel and Gaza because any commentary will be held against him in the court of public opinion.

We chatted it up with Dennis at LAX and certainly didn't seem like he'd spoken to Drake, who's Jewish, about his thoughts on the Hamas terrorist attack and Israel's military response -- but he's certain it's affecting Drake just like everyone else.

Drake's silence, in particular, has been a hot topic on social media thanks to DJ Vlad ... who's been calling out Drizzy and DJ Khaled, who's Palestinian, for not using their massive platforms to speak on the crisis.

Dennis says celebs get way more backlash when they publicly address hot-button issues, and he's certain Drake would be no different.

The proud papa was still in full support of his son's work, though -- rocking "For All the Dogs" merch from head to toe. He also assured us Drake will be okay ... referring to the stomach issues prompting his hiatus from music.

Drake said he may be gone for over a year, and Dennis is his dad, not his doctor -- but he echoed much of what Drake said ... it's minor, not major.

We also inquired about Drake's co-parenting routine, on the heels of him posting a big family photo with Adonis and Adonis' mom.

Kanye West apparently has a forthcoming album with Ty Dolla $ign that's all but ready to be released to the masses -- the only holdup now is ... who's gonna help him drop it???

Billboard reports that Ye's got new music on the horizon, including this joint collaboration between himself and TD$ -- which will mark his first big release since his antisemitic saga last year ... which put him on the outs with a lot of big-time Hollywood players.

Apparently, the aftermath of that is affecting KW's ability to get this album distributed right now -- but that's not to say he doesn't have options ... Billboard says he does. According to the outlet, Ye is weighing 5 different offers from smaller/lesser-known distributors.

One of those offers came from a music publishing company called Too Lost -- which launched just a couple years ago and which actually already holds the rights to Ye's music on YouTube. Now, it sounds like they're making a play to go all in on him for a straight-up album.

No word on who the other 4 offers are from, but Billboard says Kanye's going to make a decision soon -- and that the album should be released in the coming weeks ... including on all the big streaming services he'd need help from to reach the biggest possible audience.

Speaking of that ... Billboard says, citing sources, every major label is staying away from Ye right now -- and a big part of that has to do with his anti-Jew rhetoric from 2022, which seems to be at the forefront of record execs' minds considering Israel-Palestine right now.

They do note that his new album with Ty doesn't touch on any antisemitism in the songs -- at least based on what's been heard so far -- but he's still far too polarizing to get behind.

Interestingly enough ... Kanye himself doesn't seem to be over talking about Jewish people -- as he just recently filed for a trademark for the term "YEWS," which he wants to slap on a multitude of products and services. Whether that's the album name ... anyone's guess.

El creciente conflicto en Medio Oriente parece haberse extendido a China, como lo demuestra un escalofriante video en el que un atacante armado con un cuchillo apuñala a un trabajador de la Embajada de Israel a plena luz del día.

El frenético ataque tuvo lugar en una acera de Pekín el viernes, después de que el exlíder de Hamás ordenara un 'Día de la Yihad' global, instando a todos los musulmanes a mostrar su apoyo a los palestinos, bajo el liderazgo de terroristas de Hamás, en su lucha contra Israel.

Mira este video obtenido del South China Morning Post… el diplomático israelí se retuerce en el suelo tratando de defenderse del maniático, quien lo apuñala salvajemente con un cuchillo. El sospechoso se levanta entorpecido y apuñala nuevamente al diplomático en el pecho. Puedes escuchar al hombre herido gritar, '¿Por qué, por qué?'

Posteriormente, el atacante se aleja cojeando, con una lesión en la pierna que ha ensangrentado sus pantalones. El video se corta mientras huye. Aún no está claro si fue arrestado.

En cuanto al diplomático, fue trasladado de urgencia a un hospital local, donde se informó que se encontraba en condición estable. La gravedad de sus heridas no se ha revelado.

Mientras tanto, las autoridades militares israelíes emitieron una advertencia a los palestinos para que abandonen la Franja de Gaza, gobernada por Hamás, mientras continúan lanzando bombas en la zona.

An Israeli teen girl and her family hid from Hamas terrorists for hours on end ... and her mom kept her mind distracted by focusing on an upcoming Taylor Swift concert.

13-year-old Renana Botzer Swissa told CBS News she rushed into her family' safe room Saturday with her parents and grandmother as Hamas aggressors raided the settlement of Kfar Aza -- near the Gaza border.

Swissa says her mom, Ilanit, used Taylor as a means of distracting her teenage daughter from the potentially fatal possibilities that could arise if they were found ... telling Swissa to think about the Europe concert in June as something happy to look forward to.

She says the thought of seeing Taylor live gave her hope that they'd make it out of the unspeakable evil alive, but admits terrible thoughts were still looming over her -- including worries that she'd be kidnapped, raped, or even killed.

Swissa also made a promise to her mom, saying she'd let her give her kisses if they survived ... this after she apparently had been playfully getting annoyed by all the smooches she'd been given.

Since making it out of the safe room alive 16 hours later, Ilanit says she's been giving her daughter nothing but kisses.

The growing conflict in the Middle East seems to have spread to China as terrifying video emerged of a knife-wielding assailant stabbing an Israeli Embassy worker outside in broad daylight.

The frenzied attack unfolded on a Beijing sidewalk Friday after Hamas' ex-leader ordered a global 'Day of Jihad,' calling on all Muslims to show support for Palestinians -- under the leadership of Hamas terrorists -- in their fight against Israel.

Check out this footage, obtained by the South China Morning Post ... the Israeli diplomat is rolling around on the ground trying to fend off the maniac, who is wildly stabbing him with the knife. The suspect clumsily gets to his feet and again stabs the diplomat in the chest. You can hear the victim scream, "Why, Why?"

After that, the attacker limps away, nursing an injury to his leg that has bled through his pants. The video cuts off as he's fleeing. It's not clear if he was arrested.

As for the diplomat, he was rushed to a local hospital, where he was listed in stable condition. The extent of his injuries was not disclosed.

Meanwhile, Israeli military officials issued a warning to Palestinians to leave the Hamas-ruled Gaza Strip, while continuing to drop bombs in the area.

A Palestinian militant was captured by Israeli troops during a news broadcast ... then blindfolded and whisked away while the cameras rolled on the intense situation.

Fox News correspondent Trey Yingst was with members of the Israeli forces on Thursday in Israel -- close to the grounds of the gruesome Supernova music festival massacre where 260 innocent people were murdered.

While reporting, gunshots ring out -- as Yingst and his camera crew ducked for cover, soldiers surrounded a man on the ground who was stripped down to his underwear.

They blindfolded him and escorted him away from the festival grounds ...  a senior commander confirmed with Yingst that the nearly-naked man was a Palestinian militant who either came into the area from Gaza or had been hiding out in the area since Saturday's killings and kidnappings.

He says he'll likely end up being questioned ... which could shed even more light on the tragic Supernova incident.

As you know, Hamas terrorists hit Israel hard starting on Saturday, including a brutal attack on the festival ... where people like 22-year-old Shani Louk were kidnapped -- you'll recall, she was stripped naked and paraded by Hamas while her body was spat on.

Un militante palestino fue capturado por las tropas israelíes durante una emisión de noticias. Luego fue vendado y llevado a otro sitio mientras las cámaras grababan la intensa situación.

El corresponsal de Fox News, Trey Yingst, estaba con miembros de las fuerzas israelíes el jueves en Israel, cerca de donde se produjo la espantosa masacre del festival de música Supernova, en la que 260 personas inocentes fueron asesinadas.

Mientras estaban en vivo, se escucharon algunos disparos, motivo por el cual Yingst y su equipo de cámara se agacharon para protegerse. Los soldados rodearon a un hombre que estaba en el suelo y al que le habían quitado su ropa interior.

Le vendaron los ojos y lo escoltaron fuera del recinto del festival. Un alto mando confirmó a Yingst que el hombre casi desnudo era un militante palestino que había llegado a la zona desde Gaza o que se había estado escondiendo en la zona desde los asesinatos y secuestros del sábado.

Dice que probablemente acabará siendo interrogado, lo que podría arrojar aún más luz sobre el trágico incidente de Supernova.

Como ustedes saben, los terroristas de Hamás atacaron fuertemente a Israel a partir del sábado, con ataques que incluyeron un brutal asalto en el festival donde personas como Shani Louk, de 22 años, fueron secuestradas -como recordarán, ella fue desnudada por Hamás y obligada a desfilar mientras su cuerpo era escupido.

El teléfono del novio de Shani Louk, la artista y asistente al festival secuestrada por Hamás, envió escalofriantes mensajes de texto tras el atentado del sábado, entre los que se incluían mensajes sobre escupir a la gente.

Orión Hernández Radoux, de 30 años, se encontraba con Louk, de 22, en el festival Supernova, cerca de la Franja de Gaza, cuando terroristas de Hamás abrieron fuego con armas y cohetes y secuestraron a los asistentes.

Louk fue una de las muchas personas tomadas como rehenes y se cree que Radoux —que sigue desaparecido— fue secuestrado junto a ella. Según The Sun, su teléfono ha sido utilizado para enviar mensajes amenazantes a sus contactos en los días posteriores a la masacre del festival.

Los textos, escritos en árabe, supuestamente dicen cosas como: "Libera Palestina", "Que Dios te maldiga" y "Te escupo".

Como ya informamos, el video de justo antes de los ataques de Hamás mostraba a Louk divirtiéndose en el festival justo antes de ser secuestrada, desnudada, escupida y exhibida en la parte trasera de una camioneta.

The phone belonging to the boyfriend of Shani Louk -- the artist and festivalgoer who was kidnapped by Hamas -- sent chilling texts after Saturday's attack ... including ones about spitting on people.

30-year-old Orión Hernández Radoux was reportedly with 22-year-old Louk at the Supernova festival near the Gaza Strip over the weekend when Hamas terrorists opened fire with guns and rockets, kidnapping those at the event.

Louk was one of many taken hostage, and it's believed Radoux -- who is still missing -- was kidnapped along with her. According to The Sun, his phone has been used to send threatening messages to his contacts in the days following the festival massacre.

The texts, written in Arabic, reportedly say things like, "Liberate Palestine," "God damn you," and "I spit on you."

As we reported, video from just before the Hamas attacks showed Louk having fun at the festival ... before she was taken, stripped naked, and spat on while being paraded in the back of a pickup truck.

Plies is adding his two cents on the Israel-Hamas war ... wondering out loud why Americans -- and all humans, in general -- simply don't have empathy for ethnic groups other than their own.

The "Bust It Baby" rapper approached the topic Thursday, but was admittedly walking on eggshells ... well aware saying anything about the current Middle East crisis could open him up to all sorts of criticism.

Plies says he sees the same patterns in Americans' reactions to the Israel-Hamas war as he did with the Russo-Ukrainian war -- people care just enough until they think the U.S. is providing too much aid.

He then asked why each ethnic group in America can't feel the pain of, or show concern for, another group -- whether that be Whites to Blacks, Blacks to Jews or Mexicans to Greeks.

Plies's point is everyone is lousy at caring about any group besides their own ... and it's glaring!!!

Celebrity responses to the latest war have been constant ... Kim Kardashian, LeBron James and Justin Bieber have all spoken out and received mixed reactions ... which Ja Rule told us is par for the course.

Unlike Plies, the "Pain Is Love" rapper thinks everyone does have empathy during these sorts of international conflicts -- but he says they might bite their tongues, publicly, until they're more informed.

LeBron James está expresando su apoyo a Israel mientras la guerra hace estragos en la región. El jugador dijo que está desconsolado por lo que está sucediendo y denunció los ataques de Hamás como "terrorismo".

La superestrella de la NBA publicó una declaración conjunta sobre el tema en su página de X, con su socio desde hace mucho tiempo, Maverick Carter, el miércoles por la noche, en la que dice: "La devastación en Israel es trágica e inaceptable".

"El asesinato y la violencia contra personas inocentes por parte de Hamás es terrorismo", dijo. "La familia SpringHill Company envía sus más profundas condolencias a Israel y la comunidad judía".

James añadió en su comunicado que ahora reza por la paz.

"Todos debemos trabajar para asegurarnos de que esta tragedia no propague aún más el odio, el racismo y el antisemitismo", dijo.

LeBron no es la primera celebridad que se refiere públicamente al conflicto. Kim Kardashian también lanzó una declaración el miércoles, en la que escribe: "¿Cómo puede alguien no estar devastado por estas imágenes horribles que nunca seremos capaces de no ver?"
