Commentary roundup includes TV, politics and a museum vandalism case

By רוגל אלפר
Translated & summarized from Haaretz by baba
The story · English

The article is a collection of commentary and review items published under one banner, spanning entertainment, politics and current affairs. It mentions Jennifer Lopez and a star of "Ted Lasso" appearing in a light Netflix comedy, a billionaire age 65 replacing Colbert with ratings collapsing, and an article arguing that another show trying to imitate "Friends" can be skipped. It also refers to a TV criticism piece, including a line that "everyone on television started working on OnlyFans," and a comment on Avishai Ben Haim that he could disappear for several more years without being missed.

The political roundup includes opinion pieces by Amos Harel, Raviv Drucker and others, with references to Trump, Iran, Lebanon, Lapid, Eisenkot and Golan. One item says Trump only managed a temporary end in Iran, while the lack of a solution in Lebanon endangers the region. Another asks whether the heads of the security establishment will dare act.

Elsewhere, a child who visited the Israel Museum damaged Magritte’s "Castle of the Pyrenees." The page also includes a personal essay about falling in love in midlife.
