Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu condemned broadcaster Yinon Magal for calling politician Gadi Eisenkot a "monkey" and referencing his Moroccan heritage.

Sixty-one Israeli economists and former officials warned that international sanctions against settlements could severely damage Israel's entire economy, including its financial system.

Israelis Feel Safer at Home Than Abroad, Author Argues

An Israeli journalist argues that Jerusalem is now safer for Jews than Paris, contrasting a 2004 visit to Paris with current conditions. While Paris has increased security and experienced riots, Jerusalem has become more relaxed. The author suggests that European cities like Paris and Rome are now unsafe for Jews wearing religious symbols, unlike Jerusalem. Recent protests in France and Italy have also included anti-Israel sentiment.

Israel to Establish Regulatory Framework for Massive Data Centers

Israel to Establish Regulatory Framework for Massive Data Centers

Israel's Electricity Authority will establish regulations for new data centers, allowing them to consume up to 20% of the national grid's power by 2030, with individual facilities capped at 200 megawatts. A 200-megawatt data center consumes power equivalent to a medium-sized city and costs over 4 billion shekels to build. Construction faces significant delays due to long lead times for critical equipment like chillers and gas turbines, with full power redundancy not guaranteed during outages.
