Ben Gvir convinced: Likud wants to form a government with Eisenkot

I will embrace them and give them all the conditions they need. They will enter as haredim and leave as haredim,
Bibi needs us in the government. We need to be there to keep the government on the right,
Itamar Ben-Gvirnational Security Minister and Otzma Yehudit chairman
There were five countries that told us: Bring us 100,000 Gazans. These countries offered: Give us money, give us Gazans,
With 15 seats for Otzma Yehudit, there will be emigration from Gaza,
Bennett talks about enlistment. How many haredim did he enlist? How many haredim did Liberman enlist? Who is the only minister who enlisted haredim in large numbers?"
That is precisely the reason, and proof, that they apparently want to form a government with Eisenkot,
My only candidate for prime minister is Netanyahu,

Bennett's statement sparks backlash within opposition

Avigdor Liebermanyisrael Beytenu chairman
I call on my colleagues in the Zionist bloc to make it absolutely clear: Come what may, we will not sit with Netanyahu,
Gadi Eisenkotformer IDF Chief of Staff
I don't accept that,
Naftali Bennettformer Prime Minister
If he accepts all of our core principles, which are an immediate state commission of inquiry, universal military service, and a constitution for Israel, I have no problem with Netanyahu serving as a minister in our government,

Knesset Speaker urges pardon after Netanyahu trial revelation

Amir Ohanaknesset Speaker
I was shocked to discover from the testimony of the former attorney general that even the remaining charges, after the panel of judges twice suggested that the prosecution withdraw the bribery charge, are based on illegal investigative actions carried out without his knowledge or authorization,
It must also lead you to make a decision on the pardon request for the prime minister,
In my judgment, not only as someone familiar with public life but also in light of my legal experience accompanying dozens and hundreds of indictments, both as an intern in the State Attorney’s Office and later as a lawyer, the just, courageous and appropriate decision in light of the findings is to grant the prime minister a pardon,

Who leaked info? Yahalomi affair escalates: Suspected invasion of privacy

The inquiry follows a series of media reports published after Mali and Liel Yahalomi were located in Argentina on August 14, 2026

These publications, which apparently originated from the police investigation, allegedly caused substantial harm to their privacy, without legitimate justification and seemingly in violation of the police’s own procedures."

'A rock doesn’t become dangerous only when it hits Tel Aviv'

I thank the media outlets that recognized this morning that throwing rocks at moving cars is a deadly danger
My car sustained some paint damage and there were several impacts on the windshield, but it didn’t break
As soon as he finished, you can see him start running toward Ramat Gan,

Feiglin fires back at Tucker Carlson: 'Who are you to lecture us on morality?'

Moshe Feiglinzehut Party Chairman
I'm saying again, morally, that's what should have been done. But because I'm Jewish with a soft heart, I would open the borders and let them all go, but no one can stay."
Moshe Feiglinzehut Party Chairman
If we had done Gaza what the Americans did in Nagasaki, the world would have been with us,
Moshe Feiglinzehut Party Chairman
Yes, Mr. Carlson, I'm the one who's talking in the name of morality, not you. You know nothing about morality, definitely not in a position to judge others."
Moshe Feiglinzehut Party Chairman
And who exactly are you, Mr. Carlson, to talk about morality? Are you talking on behalf of the nation that burned to ashes almost 90% of Japanese cities during World War II? Did you care about men, women, and children when you finished the job, when you nuked Hiroshima and Nagasaki?"
Yes, the most moral thing to do at the 7th of October would have been to wipe out Gaza just as you did in Japan, just as the Brits did in Germany,
Moshe Feiglinzehut Party Chairman
So morally, we should kill all the babies. Morally."
Gaza is part of Eretz Israel. Everybody knows that. I'm sure you know that as well. It belongs to us. It belongs to the Jews according to the Bible because God gave it to us,
And let me tell you something, no German soldier ever crossed the English Channel and slaughtered babies and raped their mothers and killed civilians like the Islamo-Nazis did to us at the 7th of October. No Japanese soldier did that in the cities of America,

2,000-year-old aqueduct that supplied water to Temple Mount uncovered in Jerusalem

The Lower Aqueduct was an impressive engineering project, probably built in the time of the Hasmonean kings to supply water to Jerusalem,
The aqueduct, whose construction is attributed to the days of the Hasmonean kings, tells of a leadership that knew how to think ahead: to expand Jerusalem's capacity to absorb residents, pilgrims, and public life around the Temple,
The aqueduct is an engineering marvel. Even today, with all our modern technology, building such a system would require extensive planning and effort,
Integrating the aqueduct into the entrance of the new neighborhood will give residents and visitors a direct connection to Jerusalem's rich history and to the deep bond of the people of Israel with its eternal capital,

Avinatan Or’s mother reveals captor’s final words: 'Hamas is weak'

What should have been done was to dismantle them as quickly as possible and bring them to their knees, and only in this way can we get our loved ones back."
Hamas is weak, there's nothing we can do, we have to."
Both from Avinatan and from the United States, we understand that we were correct from the beginning,
They said it from the beginning, and we said from the beginning that the only way to bring back the hostages, as many of them as possible and eventually all of them, as it ultimately was, is only if we defeat Hamas,

Netanyahu fires back at Ofer Winter: He's Bennett 2.0

Benjamin Netanyahuprime Minister
Well, it's obvious. Winter is under pressure because he realizes that you understand. And you understand that he's Bennett 2.0,
Gadi Eisenkotformer IDF Chief of Staff
And what did Eisenkot's handler say? Run, Winter, run."
Benjamin Netanyahuprime Minister
Bennett also promised, 'I'll go with the right,' and then went with the Muslim Brotherhood,
Benjamin Netanyahuprime Minister
And one more thing: If it walks like Bennett and sounds like Bennett, it's Bennett,
Benjamin Netanyahuprime Minister
The media outlets can't stop fawning over him,
Winter keeps attacking me. His father said on the day Winter announced his party that Netanyahu needs to go. Senior figures in his party want a Palestinian state and a commission of inquiry headed by the Deep State,

Amit Segal challenges Avi Gil's October 7 account: You can't have it both ways

Amit Segalhe serves as the political commentator of Israel's Channel 12 news (N12 News company) and a political columnist for the Yedioth Ahronoth newspaper
Full disclosure: I've exchanged no more than a few sentences with Avi Gil in my life. I'm evaluating the testimony based on its content, not on who is giving it,
Amit Segalhe serves as the political commentator of Israel's Channel 12 news (N12 News company) and a political columnist for the Yedioth Ahronoth newspaper
And then Avi Gil doesn't tell him, 'Yes, I already told you in July, and I told you again in August, and I warned you in September.' Instead, he tells him, in black and white, as documented by Uvda: 'No, there's nothing in the intelligence material,'
Amit Segalhe serves as the political commentator of Israel's Channel 12 news (N12 News company) and a political columnist for the Yedioth Ahronoth newspaper
Avi Gil's argument, essentially, is that Netanyahu knew. He knew it was coming. But at 6:44, according to the transcripts published by Uvda, Netanyahu says, 'Tell me, was there anything about this in the intelligence?' That's already 15 minutes after the attack began, when it's clear to everyone that something is happening,

This applies not only to Avi Gil, against whom, as I said, I have nothing personal. I don't know him, and I'm sure he was a brave officer,
