Right-Wing Missed Historic Chance for Sovereignty in West Bank

The Sovereignty Movement criticizes the Israeli government for missing a historic chance to apply sovereignty to Judea and Samaria, focusing instead on settlement expansion. Leaders Judith Katzover and Nadia Matar argue this de facto approach leaves gains vulnerable and creates a political vacuum exploited internationally. They believe a decisive political move is needed to secure Israel's future and governance, both in the territories and within the Green Line.

Protesters Target Andrea Bocelli Concert in Indonesia Over Israel Support

The concert proceeded as planned at the Borobudur Temple, with another scheduled in Jakarta. Bocelli has faced similar opposition in Jordan and has maintained ties with Israel, including performing there and supporting former hostages. Indonesia does not have formal diplomatic relations with Israel, though its current president has suggested a potential shift under certain conditions.
