Former Prime Minister Naftali Bennett's commitment to canceling laws related to the judicial overhaul is considered a significant development, even as he has not stated whether he would join a government led by Benjamin Netanyahu. The article also mentions that MK May Golan has lessons to learn from her "boss," details about an attack halted by Trump, a Japanese-style attempt to cool a situation, a new film section, and cooking with five key ingredients.
In a regular segment titled "This is What the Election is About," the piece argues that corruption, not just criminal and investigation-worthy corruption, should be a primary consideration when voting. It also addresses political corruption, which it claims undermines the country from within in the name of coalition stability. The relationship between the state and the Haredi parties, which the article distinguishes from the Haredi public itself, is described as having crossed legitimate boundaries of turning a blind eye. For years, Benjamin Netanyahu was the main beneficiary of this quiet arrangement, which the Likud party is accused of framing as "benefits for yeshiva students" rather than "protection money." A new list is now threatening this established order, which has been convenient for most parties but not for the majority of the Israeli public, causing Netanyahu to panic.
