Eisenkot Pushes Mandatory Service Amid Coalition Talks

Yashar leader Gadi Eisenkot is pushing for mandatory national service as a key condition for forming a coalition government, despite potential opposition from ultra-Orthodox parties. This comes as Yisrael Beytenu chief Avigdor Liberman signaled openness to including these parties. Eisenkot cited a "dangerous emergency" facing Israel and aims to form a government with opposition parties, having secured 67 recommendations from lawmakers. President Isaac Herzog is expected to assign the mandate soon, though coalition building faces challenges due to disagreements over relying on Arab parties.

Israel on High Alert Amid US Decision on Iran Military Action

Israel has raised its security alert level in anticipation of a potential new military confrontation with Iran, awaiting a decision from U.S. President Donald Trump. Trump is considering options ranging from renewed military strikes to negotiations or continued sanctions. Any potential Israeli or U.S. military action would likely target Iran's ballistic missile and nuclear programs, not regime change. The U.S. military is preparing for possible extensive operations, including troop movements.

Dollar Surges to New High, Weakening Shekel Amid Global and Local Uncertainty

The U.S. dollar surged to over 3.22 shekels on Friday, its highest point since December 2025, driven by a sharp Wall Street decline and Israeli domestic uncertainties. This impacts Israeli consumers by increasing the cost of dollar-denominated purchases. While exporters may benefit, the overall effect depends on individual financial strategies. Local factors like government formation uncertainty and geopolitical concerns also weigh on the shekel.

Apple's Secret Keyboard List Filters Over 100,000 Words

Apple's iOS keyboard reportedly filters over 100,000 words and phrases, preventing them from being suggested or recognized by swipe-typing. Discovered by security researcher Derek Kaufman, the secret list includes offensive terms and politically sensitive phrases, such as "Dictator Trump" and "occupied territories" in Hebrew. While Apple states users can bypass suggestions and the feature aims to avoid offensive content, digital rights groups criticize the lack of transparency and user control over this subtle censorship.
