Israel's Supreme Court is reviewing a decision allowing party representatives to transmit real-time, non-identifying voting data from polling stations. Justices questioned the necessity of this, noting it potentially contradicts earlier rulings and could benefit larger parties. The court has allowed the data transfer for now but seeks further explanation on its validity. The case also touches on concerns about app permissions and potential voter data circumvention.

Ultra-Orthodox Rabbis' Events See Fierce Competition for Stage Proximity

During a protest against the arrest of yeshiva students, aides to prominent rabbis created a chaotic scene as they vied for positions behind the religious leaders on stage. This behavior, described as unique to the ultra-Orthodox community, is also observed at election rallies where individuals seek to be photographed near rabbis. The article explains this as a desire for status, influence, and public recognition, drawing on psychological concepts of associating with high-status individuals and "basking in reflected glory."
