baba News: Israeli & Hebrew news, translated to English

Former Israeli military chief Gadi Eisenkot is calling for a renewed strategic partnership between Israel and the United States following recent elections in both countries. Eisenkot, whose Jaschar party won 21 seats, stated the relationship is mutually beneficial and represents a bond between peoples, not just governments. His comments come as Israeli President Isaac Herzog consults on forming a new government after Benjamin Netanyahu's Likud party secured 27 seats. Eisenkot also criticized US President Donald Trump's announcement to end $4 billion in US aid to Israel.
