Israel Slams Netherlands for Banning Fans While Allowing Pro-Hamas Rally

Israel Slams Netherlands for Banning Fans While Allowing Pro-Hamas Rally

Israel's ambassador to the Netherlands condemned the country's decision to ban Israeli soccer fans from a Hapoel Beersheba match while allowing a pro-Hamas rally. Ambassador Zvi Aviner Vapni called the decision hypocritical, noting Hamas is a designated terrorist group responsible for the October 7 attacks. The Israeli Foreign Ministry criticized the ban as rewarding violence and contributing to rising antisemitism. The incident follows a previous attack on Israeli fans in Amsterdam two years prior.

Israelis Hoard Record Sum in Cash Amidst Rising Crime and Tax Evasion Concerns

Israelis are holding a record 129 billion shekels in cash, a trend that has accelerated in 2026 despite government attempts to reduce cash usage. This increase is occurring while concerns about tax evasion and crime rise, with some attributing cash usage to a form of protest against the government. Meanwhile, a commercial space in Tel Aviv is being converted into a fashion museum, and schools in Kiryat Ata were evacuated due to pollution from a nearby refinery.
