With Al-Kharomi having this much influence over the fate of the Negev Bedouin, Bennett might as well have surrendered to his cat the family's entire supply of cream.

AG Mandelblit made it clear to Netanyahu and Ohana that going against the professional decision of the police regarding the parade required a political decision.

The coming diaspora minister will be Labor MK Gilad Kariv who is both a Reform clergy and the executive director of the Israel Movement for Reform and Progressive Judaism.

The coalition agreements place both the Bedouin Settlement Authority and the Knesset’s Interior Committee, the key actors on the Negev issue, under the complete control of the left-wing bloc and the Islamic party Ra'am.

“We do not usually interfere in these types of police decisions but [this time] . . . we want to make this decision ourselves.”

The cancellation of the parade constitutes yet another capitulation before Hamas leader in the Gaza Strip Yahya Sinwar, who has been able to terrorize Israeli officials without lifting a finger.

"It is time to upgrade cooperation beyond bilateral collaborations . . . and make them multinational. Cyber defense is done as a community."

Argaman's announcement was a rare thing in Israel's political history, in which most earth-shattering political announcements have to do either with the Holocaust or the Rabin assassination.

The anti-free speech attitude is now policy with Facebook, as well as its subsidiary WhatsApp, and its competitor Twitter.

"It is our obligation to issue a clear and unambiguous call to immediately cease the inciting and violent discourse."

Only last week Jerusalem police picked up a slew of religious Jews they suspected of being a threat to the gay pride parade.

Bennett's future Arab ministers openly declared their anti-Zionist identities, loyalties and goals.

We don't know for sure if all the respondents really were who they claimed to be.

I, for one, cringe a little when politicians try to represent God in a rally. Many do so without the prerequisite qualifications, such as prophecy.

Bennett said he will “end the chaos and get the country back on track" when he takes office.

"The combination between moving forward with construction and making sure that everything stays secure – it’s very important for me.”

"These are no longer issues of right and left, they are issues of Zionism in the face of the danger to the existence of the State of Israel."

This is the first time in Israeli history that an Arab party has joined an Israeli coalition government.

“Ultimately the future of Gaza requires political solutions and the political will to implement them.”

Dynasty: Bougie is the son of General Chaim Herzog, who served two terms as the Sixth President of Israel. The president-elect's grandfather, Rabbi Yitzchak Halevi-Herzog, was the first Ashkenazi Chief Rabbi of the State of Israel.

It should be noted that only last August, Yesha Council attacked Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu for freezing settlement construction.

Graham: "The Iron Dome has worked incredibly well, saving thousands of Israeli lives and tens of thousands of Palestinian lives, so I imagine the [Biden] administration will say yes to this request and go through Congress."

"Imagine the unique thing Lapid has done – Yamina, the left, the center, he put them around the same table."

Likud officials are holding numerous talks with Yamina and New Hope, in an attempt to persuade them to change direction and try to form a right-wing government.

"My hope is to find an alternative to the JCPOA that will allow for nuclear power but not create a nuclear arms race through enrichment."

Among Israeli smokers, 26.7% reported that they smoked more since the outbreak of the plague; on average, an increase of 13 cigarettes per day was reported.

"It bothers Zandberg that the dear Chabad Chassidim offer passers-by to put on tefillin."

During their detention, the suspects threatened revenge against the two auxiliary policemen, and shortly thereafter they filed a complaint with the Policemen Investigations Unit.

The parity principle will likely be applied only in sensitive votes where there are clear, fundamental differences between the two factions in the government.

Bennett promised a Lapid government will not "relinquish territory . . .or hesitate to take military action" when necessary.
