Trump Endorses Netanyahu, Citing Shared Fight Against Iran

Former U.S. President Donald Trump has publicly endorsed Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu for re-election.

Israel Proposes Cutting Solar Subsidies Amid Falling Panel Prices

Israel Proposes Cutting Solar Subsidies Amid Falling Panel Prices

Israel's Electricity Authority proposed reducing subsidies for low-voltage solar installations by about 5% annually, starting in 2027, due to falling global panel prices. The move aims to lower electricity tariffs and could impact the pace of new solar installations, though small home systems will be exempt from new competitive mechanisms. While subsidies are set to decrease, the total cost is expected to remain similar in 2027, with regulations lasting until 2047. Israel is currently falling short of its renewable energy targets.

Emirates Halts Ticket Sales for Israelis Until Spring 2027

Emirates has suspended ticket sales for Israeli customers on its website, preventing travel with layovers in Dubai until its subsidiary FlyDubai is cleared to fly to Israel. FlyDubai's flights are not expected to begin before late November, and the restriction by Emirates could last until spring 2027. This change forces Israelis to seek alternative routes for travel to the Far East and Japan, as Dubai was a key transit point.

Rabbi Establishes Four Torah Institutions in One Year, Sees Demand Outpacing Supply

Rabbi Eli Kaplan, head of Beit Morehset institutions, has established four new Torah institutions this year, expanding his network to seven. He argues there is a significant demand for religious education, with many students not entering existing frameworks. Kaplan views the growth as beneficial competition, likening it to the food industry, and emphasizes the need for personalized attention and community consent for new institutions. He believes educators must nurture the potential of the younger generation, especially in light of recent conflicts.
