Knesset Hopeful Sparks Outrage With Holocaust Comparison

Designated Knesset Member Eliyahu Stark of United Torah Judaism has sparked political controversy by comparing the situation of Haredi Jews regarding military conscription to the Holocaust. His remarks drew sharp criticism from politicians like Avigdor Lieberman and the "Am Israel" Party, who called for condemnation. Stark, who is close to the Prime Minister's office, made the comparison during a discussion about the yeshiva student draft crisis. The "Am Israel" Party also renewed its opposition to Yitzhak Goldknopf potentially joining the coalition.

Businessman Assaf Rappaport and his Wiz co-founders are nearing a deal to acquire the franchise for McDonald's Israel, managing around 230 branches with 1.8 billion shekels in annual revenue. This follows McDonald's global repurchase of the Israeli operations in April 2024 amid boycotts. Rappaport's group, despite no prior food industry experience, emerged as the sole candidate after competing with other major Israeli business entities. The move signifies a major expansion for the founders beyond their tech ventures.
