Netanyahu and Eisenkot Deadlocked Over Prime Minister Role in Unity Government Talks

Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu and Gadi Eisenkot are in a stalemate over who will lead a potential national unity government, with talks between their parties, Likud and Yashar!, ongoing. Eisenkot, tasked with forming the government, is also negotiating with ultra-Orthodox parties, while Netanyahu aims to keep Likud involved. The primary obstacle is the leadership question, with Eisenkot refusing to lead a government headed by Netanyahu, and Likud indicating Netanyahu expects to be the first in a rotation. Other political figures, like Avigdor Lieberman, oppose any deal with Netanyahu, complicating Eisenkot's efforts. The Knesset is also set to vote on a new Speaker, seen as a test of commitment to national unity.

Mossad Kidnapped Iranian Generals in Bid to Find Missing Navigator Ron Arad

The New York Times revealed details of two Mossad operations to abduct Iranian generals in attempts to locate missing navigator Ron Arad. In 2006, Ali-Reza Askari was reportedly drugged, kidnapped, interrogated, and killed by the Mossad. In 2021, General Abdullah Sabri was abducted in Damascus, tortured, and later released in South Africa. These operations led Israeli intelligence to believe Arad was likely executed in Lebanon in 1988, prompting a failed IDF raid in March 2026.

Nvidia's Israeli Tax Payments to Double to $2.6 Billion

Nvidia's tax payments in Israel are expected to nearly double to $2.6 billion this fiscal year, up from $1.29 billion last year. Israel is the only country outside the U.S. listed separately in Nvidia's tax report, largely due to its acquisition of Mellanox. The company benefits from significant tax incentives in Israel, reducing its effective rate. However, a new 15% global minimum tax starting in 2026 could increase Nvidia's payments significantly, though some funds may be offset by R&D credits.

Diaspora Jews Urged to Set Personal Threshold for Aliyah Amid Rising Antisemitism

Diaspora Jews are urged to set personal benchmarks for when rising antisemitism should trigger aliyah to Israel, warning against the gradual normalization of hostility. The article suggests defining specific circumstances, such as institutional indifference or public concealment of Jewish identity, as triggers. It advises proactive preparation for immigration, emphasizing aliyah as an act of Jewish agency rather than desperation. The goal is to prepare for potential action before a crisis makes leaving impossible or too difficult.

Children Participated in Ancient Clay Figurine Creation in Levant 15,000 Years Ago

Archaeologists from the Hebrew University of Jerusalem found that children, some under ten, helped create clay figurines in the Levant 15,000 years ago. Analysis of 154 Natufian artifacts revealed fingerprints indicating active participation in shaping and painting. This discovery, predating agriculture, suggests a sustained tradition of clay art and the intergenerational transfer of cultural skills. The figurines, including birds possibly representing seasonal behavior, show early artistic and symbolic expression.
