Ultra-Orthodox Draft Exemption Cap Proposed by Am Israel Party

Ultra-Orthodox Draft Exemption Cap Proposed by Am Israel Party

The Am Israel party, led by Ofer Winter, proposed a plan that would allow up to 25% of ultra-Orthodox draftees to be recognized as Torah scholars, contingent on IDF needs. The party aims to legislate this program, which includes tailored service frameworks and Defense Ministry oversight, before the next government is formed. Meanwhile, the Likud party is reportedly running a campaign to prevent Am Israel from passing the electoral threshold, focusing on party members like Yosef Haddad. Winter has vowed his party will not join a government without a law integrating the ultra-Orthodox into the military.

Tel Aviv Penthouse Sells for Record $14.5 Million

Tel Aviv Penthouse Sells for Record $14.5 Million

The Hagag Group announced the sale of a penthouse in Tel Aviv's Infinity tower for 55.555 million shekels (approximately $14.5 million) to an American Jewish buyer for personal use. The luxury duplex apartment spans two floors with extensive sea-view terraces. Real estate experts noted that while unique properties attract high prices, this single transaction does not necessarily signal a recovery of the broader Israeli housing market, which is influenced by different economic factors. The Infinity tower is scheduled for completion in early 2027.
