baba News: Israeli & Hebrew news, translated to English

Democrats can use their control of Congress to end President Donald Trump's war against Iran by cutting off funding, a power derived from the Constitution's "power of the purse." While legislative and oversight options exist, they face limitations. Using funding cuts could lead to a political confrontation, as seen in a 2007 attempt to withdraw from Iraq, where Democrats ultimately retreated due to potential voter backlash. The war has been costly, with nearly $50 billion spent, and has impacted the US's global standing.

International Fraud Network Based in Israel, Cyprus Dismantled

An international operation led by German prosecutors has dismantled an alleged investment fraud network operating from Israel and Cyprus, arresting seven suspects and seizing over 100 servers. The network provided "Crime as a Service" infrastructure to European criminal organizations, defrauding investors in over 50 countries of an estimated €4 million. The investigation, involving Europol, Eurojust, and Israel Police, began after a German couple reported losing their savings. Three earlier suspects have been extradited to Germany and sentenced.

The government is considering taxing rental income and reducing investor taxes, while experts warn of further price hikes. A significant drop in investor purchases and increased demand for safe rooms are key factors. Potential solutions include tax incentives for long-term rentals and reconsidering taxes on investors.
