Netanyahu and Smotrich Plan Election Alliances Excluding Ben-Gvir

Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu and Bezalel Smotrich are reportedly organizing right-wing election alliances without Itamar Ben-Gvir, who was not invited to a key planning conference. This follows a public disagreement where Netanyahu pushed for a merger of Ben-Gvir's and Smotrich's parties, a move Ben-Gvir rejected. Smotrich supported unity, while Ben-Gvir accused Netanyahu of trying to weaken his party. The situation leaves Ben-Gvir with limited options for electoral pacts.

Rare Warbler Bird Spotted in Jerusalem for First Time This Year

Jerusalem's bird ringing station has captured a rare River Warbler, an elusive migratory songbird, for the first time this year. This sighting is significant as only 116 have been ringed there since 1998, with most captured in spring. The bird ringing data offers insights into the warblers' arduous migratory journeys, with some recaptured birds showing weight gain after resting at the station.
