We leyned in the previous Parsha Mikeitz about the whole affair between Yosef and the brothers when they came to Mitzrayim to buy food and were accused by the Viceroy of being spies. We learned how after hearing their story and family history, the Viceroy demanded that they bring their youngest brother to him and incarcerated Shimon as insurance that the brothers would indeed return with Binyamin, their youngest brother.

Yosef heard and understood their conversation and left their presence to cry silently. (Perek 42, posukim 21-24)

Excerpts;
Hours after Gemayel was murdered, his killers issued a communiqu calling themselves the “Fighters for the Unity and Liberty of Greater Syria.” They said that they killed Gemayel because he was “one of those who unceasingly spouted their venom against Syria and against [Hizbullah], shamelessly and without any trepidation.” Gemayel, they threatened, would be the first of many victims. As they put it, “Sooner or later we will pay the rest of the agents their due…”

Olmert ‘Restraining’ Israeli Military in Gaza, By Aaron Klein (WorldNetDaily)
“We should never have withdrawn in the first place,” a senior IDF officer told WND. ‘The greatest admission of the Gaza withdrawal’s failure would be for us to have to reoccupy any part of Gaza.'”
“The Katyusha we fired (in August) shows we can have every weapon we need,” said Abu Ahmed. ‘It is only a matter of a small period before Gaza is ready for war.’”
