The Israeli ambassador to the United States is slamming Hezbollah’s rejection of a peace agreement between Israel and Lebanon, saying they are “trying to destroy that hope.”

“There was real hope at the negotiating table for a new chapter of security and peace,” Ambassador Yechiel Leiter wrote on X. “Hezbollah and Iran are trying to destroy that hope. They must not succeed.”

Hezbollah, the Lebanon-based, Iran-backed militant group, was not involved in the negotiations taking part in Washington over the last several days, though it is the one striking Israeli troops in southern Lebanon and northern Israel.

“Israel will defend its citizens,” Leiter wrote. “Lebanon deserves a future shaped by its government-not by an Iranian-backed terrorist organization.”

For months, the loudest voices in artificial intelligence—including OpenAI’s Sam Altman and Anthropic’s Dario Amodei—warned that entry-level white-collar jobs were headed for extinction. In recent weeks, both have walked back those statements.

And according to Cognizant CEO Ravi Kumar S., who oversees a workforce of more than 350,000 employees, the outcry wasn’t just a prediction gone wrong—it was fearmongering.

“I know that the Democrats are going to cheat. No one’s really addressing the problem that I spent my time in prison as retribution for, and that was exposing the election machines that allow the votes to be flipped.
