Panic erupted early Friday morning after the Trump administration issued a rare order encouraging Americans in Israel to "consider leaving while commercial flights are available," sparking speculation that an all-out war may be imminent. "Good luck to us all," wrote Israeli geopolitical analyst Nitzan David Fuchs in a social media post on X early Friday morning, according to an automatic translation of their original post that was written in Hebrew. Issued by the State Department early Friday, the directive cited threats from "violent extremists" who, according to the U.S. Embassy in Jerusalem, are "plotting possible attacks in Israel." The agency urged Americans to "reconsider" traveling to Israel effective immediately, and encouraged those already in the country to consider leaving.


On Truth Social late last night, Donald Trump amplified a message calling for people to be imprisoned over his 2020 election loss. Sharing a post from another account, Trump boosted the declaration "People need to be in prison," alongside a graphic claiming "THESE ARE THE STATES WE KNOW THEY STOLE." The image purported to show the 2020 electoral map but flipped key battleground states from Joe Biden to Trump, falsely suggesting the outcome was actually the opposite of reality. The map circulating in Trump's post is not authentic. It takes the certified 2020 results and digitally alters several swing states that were won by Biden, including Arizona, Georgia, Michigan, Pennsylvania, and Wisconsin, by recoloring them for Trump. Those states were officially certified by their respective election authorities and upheld through a slew of court challenges.
