Trump Sues JPMorgan And CEO Jamie Dimon For $5 Billion Over Alleged 'Political' Debanking

 

President Donald Trump has filed a lawsuit against JPMorgan Chase and its CEO Jamie Dimon, claiming the banking giant debanked him for political reasons.

 

The lawsuit was filed Thursday morning in a Miami state court by his attorney, Alejandro Brito, on behalf of Trump and several of his hospitality companies.

 

The complaint cites JPMorgan's code of conduct, which reads: "We set high expectations and hold ourselves accountable. We do the right thing—not necessarily the easy or expedient thing. We abide by the letter and spirit of the laws and regulations everywhere we do business and have zero tolerance for unethical behavior."

 

According to Brito, "Despite claiming to hold these principles dear, JPMC violated them by unilaterally—and without warning or remedy—terminating several of Plaintiff’s bank accounts."

 

Trump and his companies have "transacted hundreds of millions of dollars" through the bank, the lawsuit reads, adding that Feb. 19, 2021 was the day that "forever altered the dynamic of the parties’ relationship," when the bank allegedly "without warning or provocation," notified Trump and his companies that several of their bank accounts or were beneficiaries of, "would be closed just two months later, on April 19, 2021."

 

"JPMC did not provide plaintiffs with any recourse, remedy, or alternative—its decision was final and unequivocal," reads the suit.

 

JPMorgan Responds

In a statement following the filing of the suit, the bank blamed "rules and regulatory expectations."

 

"We do close accounts because they create legal or regulatory risk for the company," adding "We regret having to do so but often rules and regulatory expectations lead us to do so. We have been asking both this Administration and prior administrations to change the rules and regulations that put us in this position, and we support the Administration’s efforts to prevent the weaponization of the banking sector."

 

According to Trump's attorney, his team is "confident that JPMC’s unilateral decision came about as a result of political and social motivations, and JPMC’s unsubstantiated, ‘woke’ beliefs that it needed to distance itself from President Trump and his conservative political views."

 

"In essence, JPMC debunked plaintiff’s accounts because it believed that the political tide at the moment favored doing so," reads the complaint. "In addition to the considerable financial and reputational harm that Plaintiffs and their affiliated entities suffered, JPMC’s reckless decision is leading a growing trend by financial institutions in the United States of America to cut off a consumer’s access to banking services if their political views contradict with those of the financial institution."

"So far, we have arrested Nekima Levy Armstrong, who allegedly played a key role in organizing the coordinated attack on Cities Church in St. Paul, Minnesota," Bondi posted on X, adding "WE DO NOT TOLERATE ATTACKS ON PLACES OF WORSHIP."

 

Roughly 30 minutes later, Bondi announced a second arrest had been made, with Chauntyll Louisa Allen having been taken into custody. Allen is a board member for Saint Paul Public Schools.

House Oversight Chair Comer Reveals “Nobody on Our Side Is Defending Pam Bondi” as Democrats Move to Hold Her in Contempt Over Epstein Files

 

During a tense hearing, James Comer, chairman of the House Oversight Committee, pushed back against claims that Bondi has stonewalled Congress—even as Democrats demanded she be held in contempt.

 

Rep. Yassamin Ansari (D-AZ) confronted Comer directly, asserting that Bondi violated a subpoena related to the Epstein file release and should face consequences “to remain fair and transparent.”

 

“Chairman, the attorney general, Pam Bondi, has violated the subpoena issued by this committee. We should be holding her in contempt to remain fair and to remain transparent”

 

The accusation centers on Democrats’ claim that, despite a congressional vote to release the Epstein files, thanks to President Trump, the administration failed to meet a December deadline for full disclosure.

 

While thousands of pages have been released, Democrats insist the production remains incomplete.

 

Comer rejected that narrative outright.

 

“In the beginning, you all complained the document dump didn’t have enough redactions and the second document dump had too many redactions,” Comer said. “They’re trying to get this, and I believe we will get those documents very soon. I have been assured we’re going to get those documents very soon.”

 

Ansari shot back, citing Bondi’s prior public statements asserting the documents were ready to be released and arguing that six months had passed since the subpoena was issued with “nothing produced.”

 

But Comer said:

 

“And nobody on our side is defending Pam Bondi. I can assure you, she is complying with — they have turned documents over. They have turned documents over and every time they do, you all complain about too many redactions, not enough redactions”

Epstein and the US bid for Greenland – the link you probably never knew

 

The disgraced financier’s Caribbean island of human trafficking horrors was originally purchased from Denmark

 

US President Donald Trump’s bid to acquire Greenland from Denmark echoes another land transaction between the two nations – one that ultimately benefited Jeffrey Epstein.

 

In 1917, Washington paid Copenhagen $25 million in gold (roughly $633 million today) for part of the West Indies, now known as the US Virgin Islands. The sale included a small island called Little Saint James, which was purchased in 1998 by Epstein, a financier with alleged intelligence ties and extensive connections to global elites, including Trump.

 

Epstein was disgraced for sexually abusing girls and died in a prison cell while awaiting trial. US authorities maintain he committed suicide.

 

Notably, the original Virgin Islands sale included a US pledge not to object to Danish “political and economic interests to the whole of Greenland.”

YouTube, Netflix Star Ms. Rachel Apologizes After Accidentally Liking ‘Free America from the Jews’ Comment

 

Ms. Rachel, a massively popular children’s content creator, apologized on Wednesday after she accidentally liked an antisemitic comment on her Instagram.

 

The incident occurred when Ms. Rachel, an outspoken Palestinian supporter, posted a message on her Instagram with a call to free various countries, including Iran, Congo, Sudan, and Palestine. Several users, however, later noticed her account “liked” a comment from a man in Slovakia that said, “Free America from the Jews.”

 

Screenshots went viral on social media showing that the comment had been liked by the post’s author.

 

Ms. Rachel immediately apologized when a follower brought it to her attention.

 

“Hi rachel, just wanted to let you know there’s a comment under your latest post that says ‘free American from the Jews’ that says like by the author. I’m sure that’s an accident so wanted to let you know,” the follower wrote to her.

 

“Deleted – how horrible – oh wait let me check – I did delete one like that,” Ms. Rachel responded. “Ya I believe I deleted that earlier right when I saw it! I hate antisemitism.”

 

Ms. Rachel later said in the post’s caption she “was just tapping and thought [the comment] was deleted.”

Farage to Davos Elites: Globalist Control Is Over in America, Argentina, and Coming to End in Britain

 

Brexit boss Nigel Farage warned international corporatist elites at the World Economic Forum that Britain will no longer be bound by their diktats and will follow its “national interest” above all else.

 

Entering into the belly of the beast, which he likened to his time in Brussels, Reform UK leader Nigel Farage said from the USA House stage in Davos on Wednesday that the days of bowing to globalist ideology are coming to an end in Britain as his party is widely tipped to take power at the next general election.

 

Mr Farage lambasted the bosses of the biggest companies in the world who frequent the annual Swiss alpine retreat for not “giving a damn” about the nation state and borders, and for having “encouraged us for decades” to open up to “unlimited immigration regardless of cultural consequences”.

 

The folly of the Davos ideology has also seen Western nations deindustrialise while pursuing the green agenda, opening up the door for India and China to dominate manufacturing, Farage said.

 

“The high regulatory model that these people pursued through the European Union made life impossible for small and medium-sized businesses to come through and challenge because of the barriers to entry of cost and regulation in the market,” he said.

 

Yet, this era is coming to a close, Mr Farage said, adding that his message to such elites at Davos will be: “My country has been craven to you for decades, that is about to end, it’s ended with America, it’s ended with Milei of Argentina.”

 

“So my message to those big businesses is, yes, we will work with you, yes, we will cooperate with you, but we will not be dictated to by you, we will not be told what policies we must have, and we will bring back something that is called the national interest,” he declared.

 

Despite Mr Farage’s origins as an advocate of Thatcherite radically free-market-oriented economics, the Reform leader has been moving away from these positions for years and argues that many classically conservative approaches to the globalised economy no longer apply.

An Instruction Manual for Escaping the Digital Gulag that You're Already In

 

The financial freedom you think you have on Coinbase is an illusion. Here is the technical blueprint for taking your Bitcoin off the radar, "ghosting" the surveillance state, and spending your wealth without permission.

 

If you think holding Bitcoin on Coinbase makes you a revolutionary, you are not paying attention. You are not holding “digital gold”—you are holding a tracking device that broadcasts your financial location to the state every time you swipe your finger.

 

For years, we have been warned about the coming digital gulag. We were told it would arrive with fanfare and a scary acronym like CBDC (Central Bank Digital Currency). But while the masses were distracted, fighting amongst themselves and giving in to the divide being rammed down their collective throats, the state was busy welding the bars on the cage we are already standing in.

 

The reality is ominous: The financial freedom you think you have with Bitcoin is an illusion. You are being hunted.

 

I. The Ominous Reality: You Are Being Watched

Major exchanges like Coinbase are not just “complying” with the law; they are actively weaponizing your data against you. They have partnered with surveillance firms like Chainalysis to run what they openly call “Investigation Sprints.”

 

This isn’t a conspiracy theory. It is their business model.

 

In a joint case study, Chainalysis and Coinbase bragged about using “proactive monitoring” to scan millions of transactions. They don’t wait for a warrant; they use AI to map your life in real-time.

 

Here is how the trap works, in their own words:

 

Clustering & Heuristics: They don’t just see “Wallet A sent to Wallet B.” They use a technique called “Common Input Ownership” to link every wallet you have ever used into a single Cluster ID. As Chainalysis explains in their own documentation, this allows them to “group together more addresses belonging to each service or wallet,” effectively de-anonymizing your entire history based on a single mistake.

Indirect Exposure: This is the pre-crime algorithm. You might be clean, but if you transact with a wallet that eventually touches a privacy service three hops later, you are flagged. Chainalysis sells a “Know Your Transaction” (KYT) tool that alerts compliance officers to this “indirect exposure,” treating you as a high-risk target simply for being adjacent to privacy.

They are building a database of “non-compliant” citizens. If you are reading this, you are likely already on it.

 

But the window to true financial sovereignty hasn’t closed yet. The tools to build a parallel economy—one that is private, untraceable, and resistant to the technocrats’ “freeze” buttons—are here.

 

This is your instruction manual for escaping the digital panopticon.

 

II. Phase 1: The Extraction

Exchanges are the checkpoints of the matrix. To exit, you must break the chain of custody.

 

The Tool: Download Edge Wallet. It is non-custodial, meaning you own the keys, and it requires zero KYC (Know Your Customer) data to use.

The Move: Withdraw your Bitcoin from Coinbase/Binance to your standard Bitcoin address in Edge.

The Critical Discipline: Wait.

Do not skip this step. This is the difference between an amateur “privacy enthusiast” who gets their account frozen and a professional who operates undetected.

 

Surveillance algorithms are obsessed with Velocity. In the eyes of a compliance algorithm, legitimate users are “slow.” They buy, they hold, they maybe spend a little later. Criminals are “fast.” They try to distance the funds from the source as quickly as possible.

 

If you withdraw from Coinbase and immediately bridge to a privacy protocol, you are mimicking the exact behavioral pattern of a money launderer engaging in “Layering.” You light up the dashboard like a Christmas tree.

 

Chainalysis explicitly sells this “Behavioral Alert” capability to governments, bragging about how they detect “structuring” based on the speed of movement.

 

The Solution: Let the funds sit… for weeks if you can. Let the UTXO (Unspent Transaction Output) age. In the eyes of the surveillance state, a withdrawal followed by weeks of dormancy looks like “savings.” A withdrawal followed immediately by mixing looks like “evasion.” Let the trail go cold.

Kushner presents plan for glitzy Gaza rebuild, aiming for ‘catastrophic success’

 

In Davos, Trump’s son-in-law says plan depends on Hamas disarming, offers amnesty for terror operatives who give up their weapons

 

Senior White House adviser Jared Kushner on Thursday presented a plan to rebuild war-torn Gaza into a glitzy resort, which he said could happen in three years if Hamas demilitarizes in accordance with the next phase of US President Donald Trump’s peace plan.

 

“Without that, we can’t rebuild,” said Kushner at the signing ceremony in Davos for the Trump-chaired Board of Peace, which, according to the plan, is supposed to oversee the Strip’s reconstruction. “If Hamas does not demilitarize, that will be what holds back Gaza and the people of Gaza from achieving their aspiration.”

 

Kushner ended his presentation with a plea to Israel’s critics and to “Israelis criticizing Turkey or Qatar” — Hamas-supporting Board members whom Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu has vowed to keep out of Gaza — to “just calm down for 30 days.”

 

“Our goal here is peace between Israel and the Palestinian people. Everyone wants to live peacefully. Everyone wants to live with dignity,” said Kushner, noting that Trump’s peace plan had required the cooperation of Arab and Muslim nations as well as Israel.

 

In his own comments, Trump, who is Kushner’s father-in-law, also vowed that “we’re going to be very successful in Gaza.”

In his own comments, Trump, who is Kushner’s father-in-law, also vowed that “we’re going to be very successful in Gaza.”

 

“It’s going to be a great thing to watch,” he said. “I’m a real estate person at heart… and I said, look at this location on the sea. Look at this beautiful piece of property. What it could be for so many people.”

 

Kushner, who has no official title but is one of Trump’s envoys for the Gaza ceasefire, said the “master plan” for Gaza’s reconstruction aimed for “catastrophic success.”

 

With a slide showing dozens of shiny terraced apartment towers overlooking a tree-lined promenade, he promised a Mediterranean utopia rising from the scarred Gaza landscape.

 

“In the Middle East they build cities like this, you know for two or three million people, they build this in three years,” Kushner said.

 

“And so stuff like this is very doable if we make it happen.”

Already The Worst In History, And There Are Signs That It Is Getting Even Worse…

 

Did you know that more stores were closed in the United States last year than ever before? More than 8,000 stores were permanently shuttered in 2025, and it appears that 2026 will be even worse. U.S. consumers have very little discretionary income to spend these days, and empty stores litter the landscape. If you live in a relatively prosperous area in our “K-shaped economy”, there may be just a few empty stores where you live. But if you live in a depressed area of the country, you may be faced with constant reminders of our retail apocalypse because there are abandoned stores virtually everywhere that you go. The wealthy are still spending lots of money at retailers, but things have gotten very tight for the rest of us. As a result, we are witnessing a tsunami of store closures that is unlike anything that has ever happened in the entire history of our nation.

 

Coresight Research is reporting that a whopping 8,234 stores were permanently closed in the United States in 2025…

 

Data shared with Daily Mail last month shows 8,234 US stores permanently closed last year – a staggering figure that marks a fresh blow to brick-and-mortar retail.

 

That’s 12 percent more than last year’s total of 7,325 closures, according to Coresight Research, and the highest number ever recorded.

 

We set the bar really high in 2024, and then we smashed that number by 12 percent in 2025.

 

Is that a good sign for the U.S. economy or a bad sign?

 

Needless to say, if the U.S. economy really was in good shape thousands of stores wouldn’t be closing.

 

And the number of store closings is a figure that government bureaucrats have no way to manipulate.

 

Stores either stay open or they get closed.

 

The fact that so many are being closed says a lot about where things are heading.

 

And this month there have been all sorts of signs that America’s “retail apocalypse” is getting even worse.

 

For example, Francesca’s has suddenly announced that all locations will be permanently closed and all inventory will be liquidated…

 

Nationwide women’s clothing brand Francesca’s has begun the process of closing all store locations, Women’s Wear Daily reports.

 

A customer service representative told the outlet the company was “liquidating our inventory and closing soon.” Francesca’s didn’t confirm the news publicly or provide any further details.

 

The company, which began in Houston in 1999, lists more than 450 locations across 45 states on its website. As of Monday, the site was advertising “last chance” warehouse clearance sales.

 

Francesca’s says it employs more than 3,400 associates.

 

Over 450 more stores are gone.

 

Just like that.

 

Meanwhile, the parent company of Value City Furniture has decided that now is the time to permanently close all 89 of the stores that it runs…

 

The parent company of Value City Furniture announced it would be closing all of its stores after nearly 80 years in business.

 

American Signature Inc.’s decision comes after it filed for Chapter 11 bankruptcy in November 2025, according to The Street.

 

A press release from the company stated that liquidation sales started on Jan. 10, 2026, at the company’s 79 Value City Furniture stores and 10 American Signature Furniture locations.

Knesset passes law banning graduates of PA universities from teaching in Israel

 

Measure requires Israeli accreditation for teachers with PA degrees, drawing criticism from lawmakers who call bill discriminatory and warn of impact on Arab education

 

The Knesset passed a law on Wednesday to restrict people with academic degrees from Palestinian Authority universities from teaching in Israeli schools unless they also possess an Israeli accreditation, with 31 votes in favor and 10 against.

 

While proponents hailed the law as an effort to keep incitement against Israel out of schools, Arab Israeli lawmakers said it was another discriminatory act of legislation targeting the minority community, many of whom study in PA institutions.

 

The legislation — sponsored by Likud MK Amit Halevi and Avichay Buaron, among others — allows the Education Ministry’s director general to withhold accreditation from teachers with a degree from an institution within the Palestinian Authority, “provided that such a degree is required for his work as an education worker.”

 

The law says that its purpose is “to prevent the harmful influence of the Palestinian Authority, which is hostile to the State of Israel and its values, and to safeguard the educational values of the State of Israel as a Jewish and democratic state.”

 

“Studies at these institutions include, in many cases, antisemitic content and indoctrination whose purpose is to deny the existence of the state of Israel and to seriously incite against it,” the bill states — calling it inappropriate for such people to “expose helpless children” to such viewpoints.

Tesla Cuts Berlin Gigafactory Workforce By 1,700 Employees

 

Tesla’s workforce at its Gigafactory near Berlin has fallen by about 1,700 employees, according to a report by Germany’s Handelsblatt.

 

An internal document cited by the paper shows the Gruenheide site—Tesla’s only European production hub—now employs 10,703 people, a decline of roughly 14% from staffing levels disclosed ahead of works council elections in 2024. The company did not immediately comment, according to Handelsblatt.

 

The reduction follows CEO Elon Musk’s April 2024 announcement that Tesla would cut more than 10% of its global workforce to curb costs and boost productivity.

 

The move also fits a broader pattern in early 2026, as manufacturers and technology firms continue to streamline operations amid slower demand growth, tighter financing conditions, and a push to protect margins after several years of aggressive expansion.

 

In 2025, Tesla spent much of the year shifting from rapid expansion to consolidation. Management emphasized cost control, factory efficiency, and cash preservation as aggressive price cuts and softer demand compressed automotive margins.

 

Even as its traditional auto operations lost momentum, Tesla’s stock has been relatively resilient. Investors have increasingly focused on the company’s longer-term ambitions in robotaxi services, autonomous driving software, and artificial intelligence, viewing these as potential high-margin growth engines.

 

That optimism has helped support the share price despite slowing vehicle sales and a wider backdrop of job cuts across manufacturing and technology in 2026, as companies adjust to weaker growth and higher financing costs.

NIH ends funding for research using aborted fetal tissue

 

“NIH is pushing American biomedical science into the 21st century,” NIH Director Jay Bhattacharya said

 

The National Institutes of Health announced on Thursday that it would end federal funding for research using aborted fetal tissue.

 

The policy will apply to all NIH grants, cooperative agreements, transaction awards, research and development contracts, and the NIH Intramural Research Program, the Daily Wire reported.

 

The NIH said that the policy is part of the Trump administration’s efforts to “modernize biomedical science and accelerate innovation.”

 

“NIH is pushing American biomedical science into the 21st century,” NIH Director Jay Bhattacharya said Thursday. “This decision is about advancing science by investing in breakthrough technologies more capable of modeling human health and disease. Under President Trump’s leadership, taxpayer-funded research must reflect the best science of today and the values of the American people.”

 

The NIH funded 77 projects using human fetal tissue during Fiscal Year 2024, a figure that declined steadily since 2019, according to the NIH. Scientific advances offer alternatives in tissue chips, computational biology, and organoids.

 

Bhattacharya told the media outlet that the use of human fetal tissue from aborted babies has been argued over for years, putting “a large part of the population” in an ethical quandary.

 

“Now that there is better technology, there’s no scientific harm to this, we’re still going to be able to use the science we need … while at the same time getting rid of this use of aborted fetal tissue which so many people, including me, find morally abhorrent,” Bhattacharya said.

 

He added that fetal tissue can still be used for NIH-funded research if it is not specifically from an abortion.

 

“Someone who has had a miscarriage and wants to do a meaningful thing and they donate the tissue from the miscarriage to science, that’s still allowed,” Bhattacharya said. “The only ban is on, you have an abortion specifically to terminate the baby, and then the tissue then gets sold, that’s what’s being banned.”

 

“In public health and in science, we should seek to produce knowledge and products that are widely available for everybody,” the NIH director continued. “If there are large numbers of people with moral systems that say if you go down this line and use research with aborted human fetal tissue, I’m not going to participate in it…well what good was the research?”

 

The announcement comes a day before the annual March for Life takes place in Washington, D.C.

'Biological incident' at federal pathogen lab shines light on continuing risks in Trump era

 

Feds confirm a researcher's potential exposure to "Crimean-Congo hemorrhagic fever through an accidental breach of personal protective equipment." NIH director under pressure from lawmakers to "stop this batty research."

 

Two days before the Environmental Protection Agency was scheduled to further distinguish the Trump administration from its predecessor by phasing out animal testing over criticisms of pointless cruelty, biosafety risks and obfuscation, an anti-testing watchdog exposed another possible leak from a federal research lab on U.S. soil.

 

This one happened on the current administration's watch, however, months after local media reported National Institutes of Health Director Jay Bhattacharya toured the Rocky Mountain Laboratories "to demonstrate NIH executive level commitment to RML" amid community fears it would get hit by Department of Government Efficiency cuts.

 

The watchdog group White Coat Waste Project (WCW) on Tuesday published the minutes from the NIH Institutional Biosafety Committee's Nov. 20, 2025 meeting at RML in Hamilton, Mont., which has a two-year-old "vivarium" that NIH said would expand study of "exotic species (such as bats)." The National Institute of Allergy and Infectious Diseases runs it.

 

Funded with $125 million in COVID relief money, RML's vivarium drew concern from Sens. Joni Ernst and Eric Schmitt before its completion.

 

The Iowa and Missouri Republicans asked then-NIH Director Monica Bertagnolli for more information about RML's "potentially risky research," since then-NIAID Director Anthony Fauci added a BSL-4 lab that can study "deadly pathogens with pandemic potential," and how Congress and the public will learn of RML's research with "select agents."

 

The Nov. 20 meeting minutes show an unassuming notation at the very end of biosafety officer Rececca Anderson's report.

 

Under "Biological Incidents to Report," the minutes say: "Form 3 reported to Federal Select Agent Program on 11/13/2025." There was no subsequent discussion by the committee, and the meeting adjourned an hour earlier than scheduled.

 

The Department of Health and Human Services told Just the News Wednesday night what happened: An RML employee was "found to be potentially exposed to Crimean-Congo hemorrhagic fever through an accidental breach of personal protective equipment."

 

That person was "immediately isolated and monitored under appropriate care at a specialized medical facility before it was confirmed that no actual exposure or transmission had occurred," press secretary Emily Hilliard wrote in an email. "At no time was there any risk to the public or to other staff."

 

WCW Senior Vice President Justin Goodman responded with four exclamation points when Just the News showed him HHS's explanation.

 

"CCHF is a foreign virus that causes massive bleeding, multi-organ failure and has a kill rate as high as 40 percent," he wrote in an email, attaching a disturbing photo of a monkey subjected to the virus at RML.

Some 25 Israelis indicted for spying for Iran in 2025, Shin Bet reveals

 

In a separate arena, the Shin Bet reported that 130 Israeli-Arabs were indicted for terror-related offenses, while 219 were arrested.

 

A stunningly high 25 Israelis (including Jews) and foreigners residing in Israel were indicted for spying for Iran in 2025, the Shin Bet (Israel Security Agency) announced in its annual report.

 

The number of Iranian plots to use Israelis as spies jumped by 400% in 2025 as compared to 2024, which itself had also seen a jump of 400% from 2023 and earlier years.

 

According to the Shin Bet, 120 separate Iranian spying activities were thwarted last year.

 

Most of the Jewish-Israelis who spied for Iran did so for money and undertook taking photos of certain installations or other forms of information gathering.

 

In a separate arena, the Shin Bet reported that 130 Israeli-Arabs were indicted for terror-related offenses, while 219 were arrested. The report said there were 40 cases where some Israeli-Arabs swore allegiance to or undertook activities for ISIS.

Also, the report said that around 20 Israeli-Arab minors were interrogated over suspected terror-related activities, particularly for assisting with artificial-intelligence–generated content, likely linked to phishing attempts aimed at hacking various Israeli electronic accounts.

 

Collectively, Israeli-Arabs were also involved in five terror attacks.

 

Besides Israeli-Arab citizens, 129 east Jerusalem residents were arrested under suspicion of terror-related offenses.

 

Also, 2,530 West Bank Palestinians were arrested under terror suspicions from Shin Bet enforcement activities.

 

Regarding Gaza terrorists, in 2025 the agency conducted 300 full-fledged interrogations in its facilities. In addition, 1,250 Gaza terrorists were interrogated at the joint IDF-Shin Bet’s Sdei Teiman facility.

 

Information obtained from these interrogations helped locate senior Hamas officials and Israeli hostages, said the agency.

 

In numbers terms, the Shin Bet was involved in killing 1,200 Gazan terrorists in 2025 of the close to 2,500 killed.

 

Over 200 of those terrorists killed were at various command levels, including six senior Hamas leaders: Mohammed Sinwar, who led Hamas from October 2025 to May 2025; Raad Saad, who served as Hamas’s second-in-command from around May 2025 to December 2025; and Rafah Brigade commander Mohammed Shabanah.

 

The Shin Bet did not include statistics about nationalist Jewish violence in the annual report. The Jerusalem Post requested the data, but the agency had not replied by press time.

 

Despite the lack of response, the IDF on Monday admitted that Israel’s security forces had failed in 2025 to sufficiently reduce the volume of Jewish extremist violence against West Bank Palestinians.

 

In 2025, the number of “nationalistic” Jewish incidents, a term the IDF uses to refer to both violent attacks and vandalism targeting Palestinian property, spiked to 867, up from 682 incidents in 2024.
