Bank of Israel Eases Crypto Deposit Rules for Banks

The Bank of Israel is revising regulations for cryptocurrency deposits in banks, with new rules taking effect on May 1, 2027. The automatic 100,000 shekel threshold for mandatory source verification of crypto funds will be removed, replaced by risk-based assessments.

El Niño Poised for Record Strength, Threatening Global Food Prices

El Niño Poised for Record Strength, Threatening Global Food Prices

The current El Niño event is strengthening and is forecast to be one of the most powerful on record, with an 83% probability. Historically, El Niño has caused significant global economic damage through extreme weather, impacting food prices, energy costs, and shipping. Past events, like those in 1997-1998 and 2015-2016, led to widespread droughts, fires, and billions in damages, while the recent Panama Canal drought highlights ongoing trade disruptions. Experts warn of potential global food commodity price increases of up to 9% due to this phenomenon.

Caspit Slams Channel 14 for Ignoring Oct. 7 Memorial Ceremony

Journalist Ben Caspit sharply criticized Channel 14 for refusing to broadcast Israel's October 7th massacre memorial ceremony. While other networks aired the event honoring victims like the Bibas family, Channel 14 broadcast satire instead. Caspit called the station's actions and broadcaster Yinon Magal's subsequent list of bereaved families a daily spread of "sickening fake news."
