A van packed with explosives was driven into the AMIA building and detonated, killing 85 people and injuring more than 300.

There have been a total of 89 cholera cases since October 5.

Lebanon agrees to the final version of the maritime border demarcation agreement, but will not recognize the buoy-line as the international border line.

How long before Russia realizes who contributes so effectively to its defeat in Ukraine?

Anwar Sadar: "Poor Menachem, I got back 90% of the Sinai and the Alma oil fields, and what has Menachem got? A piece of paper."

Netanyahu warned, "Hezbollah will use the billions from the gas to arm itself with missiles and rockets against Israeli citizens; Iran will position itself against Rosh Hanikra and against Israel’s gas reserves."

"As the Chief of General Staff told the Government, [the deal] does not preserve our security, it enhances our security."

After the review, the agreement returns to the government cabinet for a final ratification.

Alternate Prime Minister Naftali Bennett supported the agreement with a statement that attempted to side with the opposition as well as with the cabinet vote.

Considering the current power balance in the 24th Knesset, it is almost certain that a vote would kill the deal.

The risky timing may cause Lapid to reconsider the move.

The IAEA reports that seven cascades of advanced uranium enrichment centrifuges have been installed at the underground Natanz nuclear site.

Now it remains to be seen if the Lapid government would be brazen enough to push the latest draft through before the November 1 elections.

An unidentified Lebanese official told Arab media that both sides are to meet on October 20 to officially sign the agreement at the United Nations.

Kochavi showed the French general which Lebanese targets would be destroyed if Hezbollah attacked.

The possibility that the agreement could be torpedoed altogether could lead to the likelihood of more threats from Hezbollah.

Lebanon submitted a list of "amendments" on Tuesday to the final agreement submitted by US energy envoy Amos Hochstein in its reply to Washington.

Prime Minister Lapid for his part turned to the age-old strategy of "when in doubt – lie through your teeth."

Both Israel and Azerbaijan view Iran as an existential threat.

He also mentioned that the heads of three branches of Iran’s government had expressed their regret over the “incident.”

The public does not know the details of the agreement with Lebanon.

Friedman tweeted, "No one then imagined 100% to Lebanon and 0% to Israel. Would love to understand how we got here.”

“Yair Lapid shamefully capitulated to Nasrallah's threats."

Their main target being a Muslim high school in Nazareth, which "operates in the way of the infidels."

"The first person of the government, Mr. Ali Khamenei, is not considered a mujtahid in any way."

Israel’s political-security cabinet is set to meet Thursday – by which time, Lebanon’s answer should be received – to discuss the draft.
