Netanyahu and Smotrich Rally Right-Wing Voters, Excluding Ben-Gvir

Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu and Finance Minister Bezalel Smotrich held a "Saving the Right" conference in Jerusalem on October 8, 2026, to rally right-wing voters for the upcoming elections, notably excluding National Security Minister Itamar Ben-Gvir. The event followed a vote-sharing agreement between Likud and the RZP, with Otzma Yehudit still awaiting a similar deal. Both leaders stressed the importance of national unity and continuing settlement policies, while recent polls suggest neither bloc can form a majority without Arab party support. It remains unclear if Otzma Yehudit will sign a surplus-vote agreement.

Ex-Netanyahu Aide Claims Protocols Were Altered, Warns of 'Betrayal'

Ex-Netanyahu Aide Claims Protocols Were Altered, Warns of 'Betrayal'

Former Military Secretary Avi Gill stated that he kept original protocols from discussions before the October 7th attack, warning of lies and potential falsification. He also mentioned an Egyptian intelligence plane landing in Israel shortly before the massacre, suggesting undisclosed information was exchanged. Gill reported that Prime Minister Netanyahu's Chief of Staff allegedly asked a stenographer to alter a record of a key conversation, which Gill believes was an attempt to shape a narrative favoring the Prime Minister. The Likud party dismissed Gill's claims as political propaganda aimed at undermining Netanyahu.

Israel Spends Less Per Student Than OECD Average, Especially in Early Childhood

Israel's national education spending was 7.1% of GDP in 2023, higher than the OECD average of 5.3%. Despite this, per-student spending in Israel is lower than the OECD average, particularly for children aged 0-5, due to a younger population. Israel spent $7,104 per student in early childhood education compared to the OECD average of $13,904.

Israeli Scientists Develop Economical Green Hydrogen Production Method

Israeli scientists at the Technion have developed a new method to make "green" hydrogen production economically feasible by synthesizing valuable epoxides alongside hydrogen. This process replaces the low-value oxygen byproduct of traditional green hydrogen electrolysis with a high-value chemical, potentially overcoming the main economic barrier to clean fuel adoption. The research, published in Nature Communications, suggests a pathway for profitable green energy transitions without relying on subsidies.
