Bereaved Families Demand Impartial National Inquiry Committee

Bereaved Families Demand Impartial National Inquiry Committee

Dozens of bereaved families from two Israeli forums gathered to demand a national inquiry committee to investigate the failures leading up to and during the October 7th massacre. They called for an impartial body with broad powers, representing all segments of society, to examine the military, security, political, and legal systems. The families stressed the need for truth and justice, rejecting commissions perceived as lacking public trust and proposing a model similar to the US 9/11 Commission. They also urged public unity and support for candidates promising to establish such a committee post-election.

Rami Levy Retail Chain Faces Major Lawsuit Over Employee Deductions

Rami Levy Retail Chain Faces Major Lawsuit Over Employee Deductions

A class-action lawsuit has been approved against the Rami Levy supermarket chain in Israel, representing thousands of cashiers over the past seven years. The suit alleges illegal deductions from employee wages for cash register shortages. The Regional Labor Court ruled that random shortages are not a "fixed debt" and cannot be automatically deducted, especially for minimum wage workers, unless negligence is proven. The chain denies the claims, stating deductions were consensual and procedural, but the court found the practice to be systematic.

Namibian Doctor Recognizes ZAKA Volunteer, Cancels Autopsy for Israeli Traveler

A Namibian pathologist recognized ZAKA volunteer Yossi Landau during a video call, leading him to cancel an autopsy for a recently deceased Israeli traveler. The pathologist and Landau had met 19 years ago after a plane crash in Namibia where ZAKA volunteers helped with the deceased. The doctor agreed to release the Israeli's body for burial in Israel without an autopsy due to their prior acquaintance and ZAKA's work respecting the dead.
