Written By:Iyiola Adrian Reviewed By:Jahnu Jagtap a 47-year-old dual Russian-Israeli citizen from Bat Yam was arrested at Ben-Gurion Airport on May 1 after attempting to flee to Russia using a passport issued under a new name He is wanted in the United States for allegedly stealing millions in a 2022 crypto hack The fiasco targeted California-based blockchain company Nomad His identity had not been revealed publicly until his arrest in Israel last week According to a U.S. extradition request, Gurevich allegedly took advantage of a security weakness in Nomad’s system and made off with about $2.89 million worth of crypto tokens. Just days later, other hackers discovered the same flaw and drained nearly $186 million in total, nearly crashing the company, according to a local report The FBI launched an investigation after Gurevich contacted Nomad’s Chief Technology Officer admitted to “amateurishly” probing the system and apologized for “the trouble he caused.” He reportedly returned $162,000 but also demanded a $500,000 reward “He wanted half a million for pointing out the vulnerability,” the request claims Prosecutors say Gurevich changed his name on April 29 and received a passport under that new identity the very next day he was caught at the airport before boarding a flight He appeared in court the following day in handcuffs.

displaying the Bibas family hostages' bodies has sparked a massive counter-terror operation The ongoing Israeli-Palestinian conflict reached another boiling point over the past days as Hamas staged a ceremony displaying the bodies of the Bibas family hostages Director General of the Palestinian Peace Coalition – Geneva Initiative “It is deeply tragic to see human lives being used as political tools no matter the side,” he said to The Media Line It is heartbreaking and only fuels more hatred and division I am outraged to see what Hamas has been doing under the alleged reason of Islam I am outraged to see what Hamas has been doing under the alleged reason of Islam,” he said to The Media Line the group handed over what was claimed to be the body of Shira Bibas it was revealed that the body was not hers leading to further tensions and accusations against Hamas of psychological warfare the correct body was returned in what has been described as a gruesome display of power by the Islamist group you saw an overall Israeli rage against the Palestinians in the Gaza Strip a Senior Researcher at the Moshe Dayan Center for Middle Eastern Studies emphasized the Israeli public’s fury at the incident you saw an overall Israeli rage against the Palestinians in the Gaza Strip,” he noted pointing out how the event solidified the Israeli perception that “all Palestinian organizations participated in this horrific ceremony.” The event was a stark reminder of the deepening schism between the two societies In response to the parading of hostages and the ongoing psychological warfare Israeli authorities announced the halt of 600 Palestinian prisoner releases a measure that had been part of a broader ceasefire deal mediated by the United States which the Israeli government justified as necessary given Hamas’ provocations particularly as it contradicts previous agreements The fact that the Americans are not asking the Israelis to abide by the provisions of the deal will complicate the future—not only phases but even arriving at the end of stage one.” He further warned that Hamas could retaliate making it “extremely important for mediators like Qatar and Egypt to ensure Israel upholds its commitments “The fact that the Americans are not asking the Israelis to abide by the provisions of the deal will complicate the future—not only phases but even arriving at the end of stage one.” He further warned that Hamas could retaliate making it “extremely important for mediators like Qatar and Egypt to ensure Israel upholds its commitments,” he added any guarantees that we’re going to sign in the future we must ensure that Hamas is completely eradicated afterward so halting prisoners at the moment is a way of showing that we are not going to play by Hamas’ games Chorev argued that the decision was a necessary strategic shift: “Whatever we’re going to sign so halting prisoners at the moment is a way of showing that we are not going to play by Hamas’ games.” This position has been widely supported by Israeli officials and segments of the public who view any concessions to Hamas as emboldening further violence The explosions occurred in separate parking lots approximately 500 meters apart Israeli police are investigating the incident as a coordinated terror attack one of the explosive devices contained a note with Arabic writing referencing “revenge for Tulkarem,” suggesting a possible motive linked to recent Israeli military operations in the Tulkarem refugee camp “The security fence has been penetrated in the past two decades but not in a satisfying phase.” He further stressed that “to overpass the eyes of Israeli intelligence and Shin Bet is a different story This is exactly what they are now working on.” the investigation led to the arrest of three suspects: two Jewish Israelis and one Palestinian Reports indicate that the Jewish Israeli suspects are believed to have transported the Palestinian suspect to Bat Yam before the bombings Foqaha expressed skepticism about the origins of the attack: “Israel has not arrested specific Palestinians at the moment and it is unlikely that such a coordinated operation was entirely orchestrated from the West Bank There is no certain Palestinian individual or party who has the logistics and the expertise to plant explosives in five or ten buses at the same time in Israel.” There are Arabs in Israel who are against the state We need to focus on those who raise the Israeli flag not the ones who try to destroy it from within Zoavi added another layer to the discussion suggesting internal collaboration: “I am sure that someone helped from the bus companies It is clear.” He further expressed deep concern over the potential involvement of Arab citizens in such acts: “There are Arabs in Israel who are against the state not the ones who try to destroy it from within.” Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu ordered a “massive” counter-terrorism operation in the West Bank emphasizing the need to intensify preventive activities nationwide continues to hold a hard line against Hamas while attempting to manage international pressure regarding the halted prisoner releases Israel has just demanded the release of four bodies without a ceremony yesterday as a must to carry on with the deal using psychological tactics to test Israeli resilience The Palestinian Authority is caught in the middle unable to exert meaningful influence over Hamas while simultaneously advocating for the fulfillment of the ceasefire agreement even deeper divisions have been shaping both the Palestinian and Israeli society amid this conflict I stand proudly by my country despite internal divisions and global criticism But I demand from Trump and people abroad to acknowledge us directly without perceiving the Arab society through the Arab members of the Knesset I stand proudly by my country despite internal divisions and global criticism,” Zoavi concluded “But I demand from Trump and
