Netanyahu Actively Sought Ra'am Support for Government, Ex-Minister Claims

Former Interior Minister Ayelet Shaked claims Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu actively sought to form a government with Mansour Abbas's Ra'am party after the 2021 elections. Shaked stated Netanyahu asked Naftali Bennett to advance the plan, presenting Abbas as a viable partner. She asserted that Bezalel Smotrich's opposition was the sole reason the government, which had 59 seats, did not form with Ra'am's support. Shaked's account contradicts Netanyahu's denials.

Israel Bans Mortgage Advisor Perks, Insurance Agents Next

Israel Bans Mortgage Advisor Perks, Insurance Agents Next

Israel's Capital Markets Authority has banned non-bank credit companies from giving perks to mortgage advisors, effective January 2027, to curb conflicts of interest. This move follows a two-year review and aims to prevent advisors from being incentivized to push loans. Regulators also see a need to reform insurance agent incentives, where similar conflicts exist, though past reform attempts have been blocked by industry lobbying. The authority's action is considered a significant first step towards broader financial intermediation reform.
