Joint List Petitions to Bar Ben-Gvir From Using House Demolitions in Campaign

The Joint List has petitioned Israel's Central Elections Committee to stop National Security Minister Itamar Ben-Gvir from using house demolitions in the Arab community for electoral propaganda. The list claims Ben-Gvir posted a video from a demolition site and that authorities are scheduling evictions to coincide with election day. The Joint List argues this aims to instill fear and reduce Arab voter turnout, vowing to respond at the polls on October 27.

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.

Rare Golden-breasted Plover Sighted in Israel for Second Time

A rare Golden-breasted Plover was sighted in northern Israel for the second time in history at the Fora Reservoir. The endangered bird, which typically nests in the Arctic and migrates to Argentina, was identified by birder Miriam Al Sarhan. Experts speculate a navigational error led the young bird to Israel, possibly via Europe or Asia, with a recent sighting in Cyprus lending support to the European route.
