Degel HaTorah Denounces Right-Wing "Patronage" in Strong Editorial

The Haredi newspaper Yated Ne'eman published a strong editorial rejecting its affiliation with the right-wing bloc and criticizing right-wing politicians for "patronage" and threats. The editorial, prompted by warnings regarding the conscription law, asserts the Haredi public's autonomy and questions the right's historical treatment of their community. It states, "We are not right-wing! Not right-wing and not left-wing! We are the opinion of the Torah!" The piece also blames right-wing Knesset members for obstructing the conscription law and imposing harsh decrees on the Haredi public.

PA Continues Millions in Payments to Terrorists Despite Promises

A new study by the Jerusalem Center for Security and Foreign Affairs reveals the Palestinian Authority continues to pay over 20 million shekels monthly to terrorists imprisoned in Israel, despite promises to cease the practice. The "Pay for Slay" system increases payments based on sentence length, with amounts reaching up to 12,000 shekels per month. The study criticizes Israel for not fully enforcing existing laws to confiscate these funds, with only 15 percent of seized assets actually collected. Recommendations include targeting PA ATMs, seizing recipients' assets, and pursuing criminal charges against PA officials.
