Mossad Director Dadi Barnea declared Tuesday that Israel’s operations against Iran will end «only once the extremist regime in Iran is replaced.»
Barnea made the remark during a Holocaust commemoration event, according to The Wall Street Journal.
«We meticulously planned so that our operations would continue and manifest themselves even in the period following the strikes in Tehran,» Barnea reportedly said. «Our commitment will be fulfilled only once the extremist regime in Iran is replaced.»
«Forty days of intense combat have led to highly significant achievements, foremost among them a blow to the enemy’s central objective — the destruction of the State of Israel,» Barnea added, according to Ynetnews. «However, our mission has not yet been completed.»

EXCLUSIVE: Trump admin fast-tracks asylum cases, bypassing interviews to slash backlog

NEWYou can now listen to Fox News articles!
FIRST ON FOX: The Trump administration is changing how some asylum claims move through the immigration system, allowing U.S. Citizenship and Immigration Services (USCIS) to refer certain applications directly to immigration judges without first interviewing applicants in an effort to reduce the nation’s asylum backlog.
The interim final rule, which takes effect immediately, gives USCIS the authority to send some asylum applications to immigration court without conducting an affirmative asylum interview, eliminating what the administration called an unnecessary step in the adjudication process.
The change applies to affirmative asylum claims, which are filed by immigrants who are not in removal proceedings. Defensive asylum claims, in contrast, are raised before an immigration judge after the government has initiated removal proceedings.
TRUMP PUTS ASYLUM LAWYERS ‘ON NOTICE’ WITH NEW FRONT IN WAR ON FRAUD
FILE – USCIS generally interviews affirmative asylum applicants before either granting asylum or conducting a separate review, which DHS said allows immigrants to «get a second chance at asylum.»
Currently, USCIS generally interviews affirmative asylum applicants before either granting asylum or referring the case to an immigration judge for a separate review. The Department of Homeland Security (DHS) told Fox News Digital the process can result in some applications being reviewed twice — first by USCIS and then again by an immigration judge — adding to the agency’s growing backlog.
Under the new rule, USCIS can refer certain asylum applications directly to immigration court without first conducting an interview, a change administration officials said will allow both asylum officers and immigration judges to process cases more efficiently while directing resources toward applicants with legitimate claims of persecution.
The rule is the latest step in the Trump administration’s broader effort to tighten the asylum system and speed up immigration enforcement, with officials arguing the current process has been exploited by immigrants seeking to delay removal proceedings and obtain work authorization.

«For far too long, the asylum system has been exploited for purposes of delay and work authorization, not legitimate claims of protection,» USCIS Director Joseph Edlow told Fox News Digital. «America’s asylum system exists to protect individuals who genuinely fear persecution and this rule will help ensure that resources are directed to the timely adjudication of those claims instead of to those seeking to use the system as a loophole.»
DHS General Counsel James Percival said delays within the asylum system have hindered immigration enforcement.

«One of the greatest barriers to effective immigration enforcement is intentional delay by illegal aliens and the open borders attorneys who represent them,» Percival told Fox News Digital. «My office works every day with the immigration components of DHS to improve efficiency and fulfill the president’s mandate. The rule would do just that.»
The rule takes effect immediately, though USCIS said it will continue accepting public comments before issuing a final version, responding to the feedback it receives.

Mauro Vieira, canciller de Brasil: “Fue una provocación sin precedentes en más de 200 años de relaciones bilaterales”

La Cancillería de Brasil escuchará este lunes a su embajador en Buenos Aires, Julio Glinternick Bitelli quien arribó en horas de la mañana a la capital del país luego de ser llamado a consultas por el ministro de Relaciones Exteriores, Mauro Vieira, tras la crisis diplomática originada en San Pablo el pasado sábado. Allí, el presidente Javier Milei calificó en duros términos a su par brasileño Lula da Silva durante un acto político del candidato presidencial opositor Flávio Bolsonaro.
En un breve intercambio con Infobae, Vieira criticó las palabras del jefe de Estado argentino y consideró que sus conceptos no sólo ofendieron al Poder Ejecutivo y Judicial, sino a todo “el pueblo brasileño”.
“Vino en un viaje privado a Brasil para participar de uu evento partidista y el contenido de sus declaraciones fue agresivo y caracteriza una intromisión en temas internos y una ofensa no solamente al presidente Lula y al Poder Judicial, sino que también a las instituciones democráticas y al pueblo brasileño”, dijo Vieira a Infobae.
Para el jefe de Itamaraty, lo del presidente Milei “fue una provocación sin precedentes en la historia de más de 200 años de relaciones bilaterales, algo totalmente fuera de lugar”. Por último, subrayó: “Pero no nos intimidan los voceros de la extrema derecha, ni los nacionales ni los de afuera. Como dijo el presidente Lula, con mentiras nadie va a ganar a Brasil”.
Pese a que la reunión entre Vieira y Glinternick Bitelli está programada para hoy, no será en las próximas horas que se sabrá qué otras medidas podría tomar la cancillería brasileña respecto a la Argentina. Fuentes de Itamaraty indicaron que se tomarán por lo menos 48 horas antes de decidir nuevos pasos.
La brecha de tiempo no es casual. En las primeras horas de este lunes arribó al país el presidente de Corea del Sur, Lee Jae-myung, quien asumió su cargo en junio de 2025 tras la destitución de Yoon Suk-yeol. “Eso nos tomará todo el día, es muy importante. Y este martes iremos a la asunción de la presidenta Keiko Fujimori en Perú. Hasta el miércoles no habrá novedades”, remarcaron fuentes de la cancillería brasileña.
Este domingo, desde el entorno de Vieira, habían calificado de “irresponsabilidad histórica” a las palabras de Milei de este sábado junto a Flávio Bolsonaro, en un acto al que el presidente argentino se sumó para apoyar al candidato presidencial brasileño, opositor de Lula.
Durante ese mitin político, Milei lanzó duras palabras hacia Lula. El mandatario argentino participó de la Convención Nacional del Partido Liberal (PL) y entre otras palabras calificó a su par brasileño de “ladrón”, “presidiario” y “totalitario”. “Si en Argentina tenemos como factor económico lo que llamábamos el Riesgo Kuka, acá en Brasil hoy tienen el Riesgo Lula”, fue una de las frases del libertario.
Asimismo, el jefe de estado argentino también insultó al juez del Supremo Tribunal Federal, Alexandre de Moraes, a quien definió como “basura calva”, luego de que el organismo le prohibiera visitar a Jair Bolsonaro en su domicilio, donde cumple una pena, en su caso, por intento de golpe de Estado.
Esa referencia judicial de Milei tuvo una respuesta inmediata ese mismo sábado por parte del presidente de ese tribunal, Luiz Edson Fachin: “Al reafirmar la plena autonomía del Poder Judicial brasileño, la Presidencia del STF deplora manifestaciones incompatibles con la civilidad que debe caracterizar las relaciones entre los Estados”.
Las próximas 48 horas serán cruciales para saber si tanto el gobierno de Lula como el de Milei están dispuestos a continuar la escalada diplomática entre los dos socios comerciales más importantes del Mercosur.
