Avigdor Lieberman, chairman of Yisrael Beiteinu, announced his post-election plan to oust Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu and change religion-state policies. He intends to replace the Knesset Speaker and pass the "Accused Law" immediately after the elections. Lieberman also pledged to advance public transportation on Shabbat based on local needs. The announcement comes amid rising election tensions, with Lieberman also clashing with National Unity party leader Gadi Eisenkot, who rejected the accusations.

Middle East Economic Turmoil Offers Israel Unexpected Regional Opportunities

Economic crises in Qatar and Saudi Arabia, stemming from damaged energy infrastructure, are creating new regional opportunities for Israel, which is projected to experience significant economic growth. Qatar faces a 42% revenue drop and infrastructure repair needs of up to five years, while Saudi Arabia's GDP has contracted by 3.3-3.6% due to attacks on its oil and transport facilities. Israel's economy, driven by technology, is expected to grow over 4.5%, outpacing many developed nations. These shifts could lead to new diplomatic and economic partnerships for Israel, potentially including a broader economic corridor linking Asia and Europe.

Volvo Unveils New Plug-In Hybrid Models With Extended Electric Range

Volvo has introduced new generations of its XC60 and XC90 plug-in hybrid SUVs, boasting electric ranges of up to 125 kilometers, more than double that of previous models. These vehicles feature larger batteries and improved charging capabilities, allowing many daily commutes to be completed on electricity alone.

The enhanced plug-in hybrids are relevant to Israel, which is reviewing tax incentives for such vehicles based on actual electric usage.
