baba News: Israeli & Hebrew news, translated to English

Gadi Eisenkot's bloc faces challenges in forming a coalition, while the new US political landscape could lead to increased pressure on Israel regarding settlements and arms deals. Prime Minister Netanyahu's relationship with Trump is being tested, and potential policy differences, particularly concerning Iran and Palestinian issues, loom large.

Police appealed, but Judge Ron Solkin dismissed their case when they missed the hearing, leaving the original order in place. The judge also ordered police to explain their absence.
