Netanyahu's Likud Party Discusses Strategy for 55-56 Seat Outcome

Benjamin Netanyahu's Likud party is internally discussing a strategy to secure 55-56 Knesset seats, aiming to block opponents from forming a government even without a majority.

Israeli Food Prices Jumped 19% Over Four Years, University Study Finds

Specific products like chocolate and burekas saw dramatic price jumps. Researchers attribute the surge to a combination of rising operational costs, weak competition, and a lack of government intervention on the cost of living, disproportionately affecting low-income families.
