Israel Cracks Down on Unregistered Professional Partnerships

Israel's Ministry of Justice is demanding that 22,370 unregistered professional partnerships register within 45 days or face sanctions and tax investigations. This move follows a state comptroller's report revealing significant tax losses due to lax enforcement. The partnerships, popular among professionals, are tax-transparent but often used to underreport income. A negligible fine for non-registration has been in place since 1975.

IDF to Significantly Reduce Forces in Gaza Border Communities Post-Election

The IDF plans to significantly reduce its forces in Gaza border communities, releasing dozens of reservists starting October 29. The new plan will focus regular reserve forces on settlements within four kilometers of the border, with more distant communities relying on local security. Security officials and residents fear this reduction will compromise local security, especially the ability to reinforce settlements during emergencies.
