  The U.S. House of Representatives voted on Tuesday to block an effort to impeach Secretary of War Pete Hegseth, effectively killing the resolution by referring it to the House Judiciary Committee. In a 211-to-204 procedural vote, House Republicans successfully rallied to table the impeachment push introduced by outgoing Representative Thomas Massie (R-Ky.). Massie was the sole member of his party to vote alongside all voting Democrats against referring the measure to the committee. The move sidestepped what would have been a historic full House floor vote on individual articles of impeachment against a sitting Cabinet member. The impeachment resolution leveled serious allegations against Secretary Hegseth, accusing him of committing high crimes and misdemeanors while serving as the head of the Pentagon. Among the charges were claims that Hegseth bypassed Congress by executing military operations in Iran without authorization, failed to minimize civilian casualties, ordered extraj...

(photo credit: OREN BEN HAKOON/ISRAEL HAYOM/POOL) As Netanyahu works to block an Eisenkot government, Likud officials concede privately that if UTJ gets an acceptable draft arrangement, “all that remains is to put our trust in God.” Yashar leader Gadi Eisenkot received the mandate to form a government on Sunday, prompting  Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu  to launch an effort to prevent the formation of a government led by the opposition bloc, amid growing Likud concerns that the haredi (ultra-Orthodox) parties could join the emerging coalition. In recent days, Netanyahu has held consultations with senior Likud officials and assigned tasks to ministers and political partners. The effort has focused on the haredi leadership, attempts to persuade MKs from the anti-Netanyahu bloc not to support the government, and exploring ways to bring Avigd...

  In a major validation of President Donald Trump’s domestic manufacturing push, Honda announced it will invest $3 billion to build a brand new auto plant in Central Ohio. This marks the automaker’s fourth assembly facility in the Buckeye State and its first major new U.S. assembly plant since 2008. The new facility — designed primarily to boost production of hybrid-electric vehicles — is slated to begin operations in 2029. The site will have the capacity to produce 240,000 vehicles annually, bringing Honda’s total United States auto production capacity to about 1.3 million vehicles per year, Honda stated on Monday. “As Honda approaches 50 years of building products close to our customers in America, we are making one of the most significant commitments in our history to position Honda for the next 50 years,” said Bob Nelson, executive vice president of American Honda Motor Co., Inc.
