Smotrich from NY: Our hearts stand in solidarity with the Jewish community

Bezalel Smotrichfinance Minister
This is a massive celebration — a profound connection uniting the entire global Jewish community, bringing together Jews in Israel and Jews in the United States. This shared destiny has grown significantly stronger over the past three years,
Bezalel Smotrichfinance Minister
Concurrently, when a Jewish person here cannot leave their house safely, or faces a verbal attack or a wave of antisemitism simply for wearing a Star of David necklace, our hearts break for them. This deep bond is felt incredibly strongly here,
For many years, the conversation has been about who supports whom. In the early years of Israel, American Jewry supported the young state. Even in recent years, facing the major challenges confronting American Jewry — such as preserving the next generation's Jewish identity, personal security, and rising waves of antisemitism — the core connection remains unchanged. When rockets are fired at Kiryat Shmona, the hearts of American Jews tremble."

We will stand together, we will fight together, and we will ensure that the entire globe knows that the people of America and New York respect and will stand with the people of Israel,

Supreme Court Order: Justice Minister must convene the Judicial Selection Committee

Levin called the ruling an 'unprecedented constitutional crisis'

Yariv Levinjustice Minister
If any of the judges wishes to run the Judicial Selection Committee and set its convening dates, they are invited to take off the judge's robe, run for the Knesset, try to be elected, and, in negotiations toward the formation of a government, demand the Justice portfolio. That is what the law provides, and it applies to the judges themselves. Three judges have, with their own hands, created an unprecedented constitutional crisis, and all responsibility rests on them,
In these circumstances, there is no choice but to determine that the Minister of Justice must publish the list of candidates for judgeships in the district courts without further delay, giving priority to the district courts in Beersheba and Haifa, where the immediate need is particularly evident, and concerning which we order that the list be published within 7 days,
Yariv Levinjustice Minister
This is an illegal decisionin which the judicial authority takes over the Judicial Selection Committee, in direct contravention of the provisions of the law."
This reality, together with the enormous and growing burden placed on the system, makes the need to appoint judges urgent. When this is combined with the approaching election date, and the constraints that could affect the ability to select judges as a result, the conclusion is that the Minister of Justice must act immediately so that the appointments can be completed before the election period."
For a period of approximately a year and a half the Judicial Selection Committee was not convened due to the lack of broad agreement concerning the candidates to be chosen. During this period many judicial posts in the district courts became vacant, and the expectation is that a considerable number of additional posts will become vacant by the end of 2026."

Benjamin Netanyahuprime Minister

NYC Councilman: 'Jewish people must confront those playing for the other team'
