Haredi Schools' 'Success Method' Continues With High Court's Backing

Israel's Ministry of Education is accused of misleadingly calculating Haredi schools' core curriculum compliance, with the director-general citing autonomy concerns for refusing to implement directives. The High Court of Justice's delay in ruling allows these schools to continue receiving full state funding despite alleged legal violations. The article suggests economic sanctions, particularly on education funding, are crucial for change but are being blocked by the court.

AI and Digital Giants Pressure News Outlets as Revenue Streams Dry Up

News organizations are facing an existential threat from AI, with internal Microsoft and OpenAI documents revealing concerns about "unprecedented theft of human labor" for AI training. This crisis has led to Israeli ad-tech company OpenWeb filing for bankruptcy protection due to a NIS 60 million debt. The broader trend sees revenue drying up for news sites as users migrate to social media and AI platforms, impacting companies like Taboola and Teads-Outbrain, which have seen billions in investor capital evaporate. This shift, termed "Zero-click conversion," means users get answers directly from AI without visiting news sites, severely impacting advertising revenue.
