Ex-Hostage Accuses Netanyahu of Blocking Oct. 7 Inquiry for Political Gain

Former Hamas hostage Gadi Moses accused Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu of opposing a state commission of inquiry into the October 7 massacre for political reasons. Moses, who was held for 482 days, also criticized the security situation in his kibbutz and Netanyahu's role in societal divisions. No state commission has been formed nearly three years after the massacre, with opposition parties promising to establish one if elected. Moses called for a more empathetic national conversation about the trauma of October 7.

Israel Eyes New Taxes to Counter AI's Impact on Revenue

Israel's Ministry of Finance is proposing new taxes, including on capital, undeveloped land, luxury goods, and foreign digital services, to offset potential revenue losses from AI's impact on the job market. A team led by chief economist Shmuel Abramzon is developing the strategy, concerned about AI reducing labor's share of national output. The proposals aim to encourage construction and ensure fair taxation on AI-related income and cross-border transactions.
