Former President Barack Obama recently suggested aid must flow to Palestinians regardless of whether Israel can secure a hostage deal.His rare statement drew the ire of Auburn basketball coach Bruce Pearl, who is the chair of the U.S. Israel Education Association.Pearl ripped Obama for failing to demand that Hamas return the hostages it has held since the Oct. 7, 2023, terror attacks.CLICK HERE FOR MORE SPORTS COVERAGE ON FOXNEWS.COM"You gave billions to Iran and Hamas creating this mess and not one word from you calling for THEM to release the hostages, surrender and end the War! Tell Hamas to 1) Quit stealing and reselling aid 2) Stop attacking GHF workers who are feeding Gazans. 3) Leave and end suffering," Pearl wrote on X earlier this week.Obama made the statement on social media on Sunday in reference to reporting from the New York Times stating that "Gazans are dying of starvation." Israel, which blocked aid to Gaza earlier this year, has recently begun to airdrop aid resources into the region, and its leaders argue that reports of starvation are a false campaign promoted by Hamas.Pearl, who is Jewish, has been more outspoken against Hamas terrorists and the ongoing conflict in the Middle East since the terror attacks. In an appearance on OutKick's "Don't @ Me" with Dan Dakich," Pearl continued to dismantle Obama, saying he "divided us" as a country.EX-STANFORD COACH SUING ESPN FOR DEFAMATION, CLAIMING STORY LED TO HIS FIRING FROM SCHOOL: REPORT"I get so frustrated when I hear what a terrible country we are or how racist we are, how this is not the land of opportunity for everybody. Look, we've got a lot to work on, and there is racism that absolutely does exist, and it's wrong. But it's a lot better for my players than it was for their fathers, and their fathers' fathers," Pearl began. "I want my guys to recognize that there are going to be obstacles, but not roadblocks. That's what Barack Obama did."However, as our president I disagreed with so many of his policies. I thought that rather than uniting us as a country ... he divided us. Everything was black and white. Everything was [about] the obstacles that were against my players from being successful. I'm trying to teach my guys I dont want you to work at Subway - I want you to own five of them.' I think in many ways, Barack Obama told a different story."Peark explained on the"Being Jewish Podcast"in June about why he speaks out."Heres the deal. One of the reasons why I do it, its really simple. What is your Middle Eastern studies course teaching you in high school? Oh, you dont have one? Oh, so then lets go on social media and lets read the lies and the propaganda," Pearl explained."In the back of their minds its, Maybe they are right. Maybe the Jews did steal the land. Maybe they did run them out of their home. I dont know. Well, thats because youve never been taught. So youre listening to the loudest voices, [which is] a very, very loud minority."Fox News Ryan Gaydos contributed to this report.Follow Fox News Digitalssports coverage on X, and subscribe to the Fox News Sports Huddle newsletter.

A couple reportedly left their 10-year-old son at a Barcelona airport after his passport had expired so they wouldn't miss their flight to their home country, according to media reports.The Sun reported that a terminal worker at the airport said the couple left Barcelona's Josep Tarradellas Barcelona-El Prat Airport on Wednesday without their child, choosing to have a relative pick him.The air traffic control worker who went by Lilian, discussed the incident in a TikTok video, saying the child was prohibited from flying because of his expired passport. He also required a visa.PASSENGERS REMOVED FROM PLANE, ARRESTED FOR ALLEGED VODKA-INDUCED DRUNK AND DISRUPTIVE BEHAVIOR"His passport in the country was expired, so the child was traveling with a Spanish passport but the Spanish passport needed a visa.

The Smithsonian's temporary removal last month of references to former President Donald Trump's two impeachments led to sharp criticism and a retort from the White House.The Washington Post reported the Smithsonians National Museum of American History removed references to Trumps two impeachments from an exhibit display in July. It said an anonymous person familiar with the exhibit plans claimed the change "came about as part of a content review that the Smithsonian agreed to undertake following pressure from the White House to remove an art museum director."Reached for comment, a White House spokesperson accused the Smithsonian museums of highlighting "DEI exhibits.""Unfortunately for far too long the Smithsonian museums have highlighted divisive, DEI exhibits which are out of touch with mainstream America," spokesperson Davis Ingle told Fox News Digital. "We are fully supportive of updating displays to highlight American greatness. The Trump administration will continue working to ensure that the Smithsonian removes all improper ideology and once again unites and instills pride in all Americans regarding our great history."MICHELLE OBAMA PORTRAITIST'S EXHIBIT WITH TRANS STATUE OF LIBERTY PULLED AFTER PRESSURE FROM VANCEA Smithsonian spokesperson told Fox News Digital the change was made during a review of the museum's "legacy content" and would be temporary, saying a "future and updated exhibit will include all impeachments.""In reviewing our legacy content recently, it became clear that the "Limits of Presidential Power" section in The American Presidency: A Glorious Burden exhibition needed to be addressed," a spokesperson said. "The section of this exhibition covers Congress, The Supreme Court, Impeachment, and Public Opinion. Because the other topics in this section had not been updated since 2008, the decision was made to restore the Impeachment case back to its 2008 appearance."In September 2021, the museum installed a temporary label on content concerning the impeachments of Donald J. Trump. It was intended to be a short-term measure to address current events at the time, however, the label remained in place until July 2025. A large permanent gallery like The American Presidency that opened in 2000 requires a significant amount of time and funding to update and renew."According to the Post, the temporary label offered information about Trump's impeachments, as well as those of Presidents Andrew Johnson and Bill Clinton, the only other two presidents ever impeached. It also discussed Richard Nixon, who faced near-certain impeachment and removal from office in 1974 over the Watergate scandal. However, he resigned the presidency before that could occur.TRUMP WHITE HOUSE CALLS OUT SMITHSONIAN FOR PUSHING 'ONE-SIDED, DIVISIVE POLITICAL NARRATIVES'The Smithsonian story drew considerable attention in the media. On CNN, Sen. Chris Coons, D-Conn., said Friday it was a "really disturbing" attempt at "whitewashing history" by a White House fixated on culture wars."This is an attempt to literally rewrite history," MSNBC's Jonathan Lemire fretted Friday on "Morning Joe," adding, "This is not the kind of thing that happens in a healthy democracy It feels like its the kind of thing that leads us on a very slippery slope."Trump is the only president to be impeached twice. He was first charged in 2019 by the Democratic-led House with articles of impeachment for abuse of power and obstruction of Congress over pressuring Ukraine to investigate the Bidens. He was easily acquitted in the Senate in 2020. He was impeached again in 2021 over charges he incited the Jan. 6 Capitol riot, but again the Senate failed to convict.Last month, the Trump administration accused the Smithsonian of using federal dollars to promote what it calls "one-sided, divisive political narratives" that fail to honor the greatness of the American story.TRUMPS FRESH WHITE HOUSE PORTRAIT SPARKS INTEREST AMID CONTROVERSY OVER NATIONAL PORTRAIT GALLERY LEADERSHIPWhite House official Lindsey Halligan blasted content currently on display at the Museum of American Historys Entertainment Nation exhibit in a statement to Fox News Digital.The exhibit, which explores American pop culture, has drawn internal and external criticism for what some see as a politically loaded interpretation of cultural milestones."American taxpayers should not be funding institutions that undermine our country or promote one-sided, divisive political narratives," Halligan said. "The Smithsonian Institution should present history in a way that is accurate, balanced, and consistent with the values that make the United States of America exceptional."Fox News Digital's Jasmine Baehr contributed to this report.

Another participant, Nick Wray (P8), shared his progress just days after his own implant activation."I haven't had this level of digital autonomy in years," he wrote.Diagnosed with ALS, Wray called the implant a life-changing opportunity. He views this moment as both personal and historical, writing,"Its not lost on me that without ALS, I would never have been a candidate for this study. I sincerely believe that if ALS is the price of admission to an opportunity of this magnitude, you pay it; gladly, willingly, and without hesitation."This isn't just about writing a name.

A federal appeals court will hear oral arguments Friday afternoon in a challenge to President Donald Trumps executive order seeking to end birthright citizenship in the U.S., one of several lower court cases that took shape after the Supreme Court's landmark ruling in June.The three-judge panel for the U.S. Court of Appeals for the First Circuit agreed this summer to hear arguments in two consolidated cases centered on the matter, O. Doe. v. Trump, and the State of New Jersey v. Trump, joining several other appeals courts in reviewing the legality of Trump's executive order.The hearing comes roughly five weeks after the Supreme Court partially sided with the Trump administration in a case centered on the birthright citizenship order. Justices narrowed when lower courts can issue so-called "universal injunctions" blocking the president's orders from taking effect nationwide.Trump signed his birthright citizenship executive order on his first day in office. It seeks to clarify the 14th Amendment, which states, "All persons born or naturalized in the United States, and subject to the jurisdiction thereof, are citizens of the United States and of the State wherein they reside."NINTH CIRCUIT REJECTS TRUMP'S BID TO REINSTATE BIRTHRIGHT CITIZENSHIP ORDERInstead, the language put forth by the Trump administration, and subsequently blocked, would have clarified that individuals born to illegal immigrant parents, or those who were here legally but on temporary non-immigrant visas, are not citizens by birthright.The Supreme Court declined to rule on the merits, instead giving the Trump administration 30 days to outline how it would enforce the order effectively punting the issue back to the lower courts. So far, the administration hasnt found much success there.A federal judge in New Hampshire issued a nationwide injunction last month blocking Trump's order from taking force, and certified as a class all infants born in the U.S. who would be denied citizenship under the order.Arguments before the First Circuit come just one week after the Ninth Circuit Court of Appeals also blocked Trump's birthright citizenship order from taking force nationwide.Judges on the Ninth Circuit voted 2-1 to block the order, siding with the Democratic-led states in ruling it unconstitutional.They also ruled it "is impossible to avoid this harm" caused by the order "absent a uniform application of the citizenship clause throughout the United States," prompting them to issue the nationwide injunction."The district court below concluded that a universal preliminary injunction is necessary to provide the states with complete relief," U.S. Circuit Judge Ronald Gould, writing for the Ninth Circuit majority, said in the ruling."We conclude that the district court did not abuse its discretion in issuing a universal injunction in order to give the states complete relief."It's unclear how judges on the First Circuit will rule. But their oral arguments come days after the Trump administration detailed new specifics on how it plans to enforce its order in question.Guidance from roughly half a dozen U.S. agencies outlines these new requirements for parents. One document published by the Social Security Administration outlines new requirements parents will need to meet to prove their child is a U.S. citizen at birth. "With respect to citizenship, an SSN applicant may currently demonstrate U.S. citizenship by providing a birth certificate showing a U.S. place of birth," a document from SSA said."Once the EO takes effect, a birth certificate showing a U.S. place of birth will not be sufficient documentary evidence of U.S. citizenship for persons born after the EO takes effect."The policy, which remains halted by the lower courts, is widely unpopular.More than 22 U.S. states and immigrants' rights groups have sued the Trump administration to block the change to birthright citizenship, arguing in court filings that the executive order is both unconstitutional and "unprecedented."And to date, no court has sided with the Trump administration's executive order seeking to ban birthright citizenship, though multiple district courts have blocked it, including in wake of the Supreme Court ruling, from taking effect.This is a developing news story. Check back soon for updates.

Police are searching for a man they say shot multiple people Friday at a Montana business.The suspect, identified as Michael Paul Brown, is believed to be armed and dangerous and was last seen in the Stumptown area, according to the Anaconda-Deer Lodge County Law Enforcement Center.It is unclear what led to the shooting.

EXCLUSIVE: The Department of Veterans Affairs (VA) will announce Friday that it is reversing a Biden-era exception allowing abortion services to be provided to veterans, in what the department cited as likely counter to the current medical benefits package prescribed by law.In a memo obtained by Fox News Digital, the VA said it will return its medical package and "CHAMPVA" benefits to the time preceding a September 2022 agency rule that removed the long-standing abortion restrictions.The 1999 medical benefits package that remains intact, prescribed under the outline of a 1992 law, does not authorize abortion services because they are not considered "needed" under the statute."It is without question that VA has the authority to bar provision of abortion services through the VA medical benefits package to veterans," the memo read, adding that the former VA leadership made its adjustment in favor of providing abortions in response to the Supreme Courts Dobbs decision that effectively overturned Roe v. Wade.VA CHIEF BLASTS RIOTERS AFTER LA CLINIC SHUTTERED AMID CHAOSThen-Rep. Gillespie Montgomery, D-Miss., laid out in his 1992 Veterans Health Care Act that the agency could provide women with multiple healthcare services, including Papanicolaou Tests ("Pap-smears"), mammography and "general reproductive care, including the management of menopause."However, the law explicitly precluded "infertility services [and] abortions" unless they relate to a pregnancy with "risks of complication [that] are increased by a service-connected condition.""Prior to the Biden administrations politically motivated change in 2022, federal law and longstanding precedent across Democrat and Republican administrations prevented VA from providing abortions and abortion counseling," a VA spokesperson told Fox News Digital in discussing the policy reversal.VA SEC HITS BACK AT FAKE NEWS CRITICS, DEFENDS DOGE ON VETERANS HEALTH CARE"VAs proposed rule will reinstate the pre-Biden bipartisan policy, bringing the department back in line with historical norms."The VA memo added that the Dobbs decision was intended to prevent federal overreach and return control of abortion policy to the states, and that the agency prior to current Secretary Doug Collins tenure "did the exact opposite" of what it said its 2022 policy change was intended to do in that regard."[It] creat[ed] a purported federal entitlement to abortion for veterans where none had existed before, and without regard to state law," the VA said.CLICK HERE TO GET THE FOX NEWS APP"For nearly 50 years, and across a slew of federal programs, including Medicaid, the Child Health Insurance Program, TriCare, Federal Employee Health Benefits Program, and others, Congress has consistently drawn a bright line between elective abortion and health care services that taxpayers would support."The agency also emphasized that its policy reversal will not prevent pregnant women facing life-threatening circumstances from receiving care in those instances.

A man who allegedly drenched a Virginia city councilman in gasoline and ignited him on fire Wednesday told police he intended for the attack to be deadly, according to charging documents.Danville City Council member Lee Vogler, 39, was working at Showcase Magazine, where he serves as sales director, when Shotsie Michael Buck Hayes, 29, of Danville, allegedly forced his way into the building, poured a five-gallon bucket of gasoline on Vogler, and set him on fire, according to the Danville Police Department.Vogler identified Hayes during the attack, helping authorities make a quick arrest a few blocks away after Hayes fled the scene, police said.Hayes later told police he intended for Vogler to perish in the fire, according to a report from the Associated Press. The court records were first reported by the Danville Register and Bee.VIRGINIA COUNCILMAN SET ON FIRE WITH GASOLINE BY ATTACKER AT HIS WORKPLACE OFFICEOfficials said Vogler and Hayes knew each other and the incident stemmed from a "personal matter," not related to Vogler's position on Danville City Council or any other political affiliation.Hayes is charged with attempted first-degree murder and aggravated malicious wounding, according to officials. He is being held in the Danville City Jail without bond.Vogler was airlifted to a regional medical facility for treatment, officials said. His current condition is unknown.TWO ARRESTED IN BRUTAL CINCINNATI MOB ATTACK; ONE WAS FREED ON BAIL DESPITE SERIOUS CHARGESVogler was elected to Danville City Council in May 2012, becoming the youngest person to hold the position at age 24, according to the city's website.Vogler's wife, Blair, wrote in a social media post that the family man is recovering from the attack with courage and determination.OHIO POLICE IDENTIFY OFFICER KILLED BY NOW-DEAD GUNMAN DURING AMBUSH SHOOTING"As anyone who knows him would expect, he is facing this challenge the same way hes faced every obstacle in his lifewith courage, determination, and an unbreakable spirit. Lee is a fighter," Blair Vogler wrote. "As his wife, I've stood beside him through the highs and lows, and I can attest to the integrity with which he serves. Beyond the headlines and the public moments, there is a man who deeply loves his family, city, and its people."Showcase Magazine, Vogler's office, and Hayes' attorney, Edward Lavado, did not immediately respond to Fox News Digital's requests for comment.The Associated Press contributed to this report.
