baba News: Israeli & Hebrew news, translated to English

US midterm election results have weakened President Donald Trump's political standing, potentially altering his ability to influence Israeli coalition-building. While Trump's influence may be reduced, the possibility of him escalating actions against Iran remains. In Israel, the election results show a parliamentary majority against Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu, but the reliance on Arab parties complicates government formation. The article argues against differentiating votes based on ethnicity, warning that refusing to work with Arab parties could harm Israel's international image.

Israeli Banks May Stop Sending Mail Notices Without Customer Consent

Israeli banks may soon be permitted to switch customers to digital notifications instead of physical mail without explicit consent, according to a draft directive from the Bank of Israel. This change aims to align with the widespread adoption of digital banking channels, which now account for over 90% of transactions. However, customers aged 70 and over, and those inactive online, will be exempt from automatic transition. Customers can still opt for physical mail, and banks must monitor engagement with digital notices.
