Lieberman plans to summon the Chief of Staff and Mossad head for discussions on Iran amid heightened security concerns. National Unity Party leader Gadi Eisenkot criticized Netanyahu for the delay and for allegedly creating an oversight vacuum, while also urging restraint on military actions against Iran.

Lebanon's economy is projected to shrink by 6.4% this year, according to the World Bank, as the country faces a severe internal crisis. A chronic electricity shortage forces residents and businesses to rely on costly private generators, with one Beirut business owner paying over $1,600 monthly for generator power. Labor costs for grape growers in the Beqaa Valley have also increased fivefold, exacerbating the economic hardship.

Rabbinical Court Overturns Divorce Agreement After Couple Found to Be Living Together

A rabbinical court in central Israel has canceled a 2016 divorce agreement, ruling the couple continued to live as a married unit for eight years, suggesting the agreement was intended to hide assets from creditors. The court cited the couple's shared finances, continued cohabitation, and the wife's use of her own funds to pay the husband's pre-marital debts as evidence. The husband's lawyer successfully argued the agreement was a sham, while the wife claimed it was valid. The ruling emphasizes that continued marital life can invalidate divorce agreements.
