Shas Escalates Attacks on Ben-Gvir Ahead of Elections

Shas Escalates Attacks on Ben-Gvir Ahead of Elections

The Shas party has launched a sharp campaign against Itamar Ben-Gvir, led by Rabbi Yitzhak Yosef, just weeks before the elections. The offensive focuses on Ben-Gvir's visits to the Temple Mount, which Rabbi Yosef deems contrary to rabbinical rulings and his father's legacy. Shas is concerned Ben-Gvir is attracting young Sephardic voters and aims to reinforce its position as the guardian of tradition. The dispute also involves the arrests of yeshiva students, with both sides trading accusations.

A survey reveals that 76% of Israelis believe AI will significantly impact their academic choices, with 57% fearing job displacement and avoiding certain fields. Experts suggest academia must adapt rapidly, focusing on critical judgment over rote knowledge and condensing programs. The "ZIP method" proposes shorter, targeted degrees, and students are advised to build diverse skill portfolios.
