Israeli Government Launches Pre-Election Economic Perks Amidst Criticism

Israeli Government Launches Pre-Election Economic Perks Amidst Criticism

Ten days before elections, Israeli government ministries have launched a series of economic initiatives, including debt relief, tax reductions, and support programs, totaling hundreds of millions of shekels. These measures, seen as pre-election "gifts," are criticized as a distraction from long-standing issues like the high cost of living. While some initiatives require applications by specific dates, others, like fuel tax cuts, extend beyond the election. The author suggests these actions are strategically timed and funded from existing reserves, questioning the ministers' past inaction on economic hardships.

Redmi Note 17 Pro Max Review: Long Battery Life, Weak Performance

Redmi Note 17 Pro Max Review: Long Battery Life, Weak Performance

Xiaomi's Redmi Note 17 Pro Max features a 10,000 mAh battery that lasts over two and a half days, exceeding expectations. However, its performance is hampered by an 8GB RAM configuration and a Snapdragon 6 Gen 5 processor, leading to a less-than-smooth experience, especially in demanding applications. The device offers a large screen, basic cameras, and AI features, but its hardware limitations prevent it from being a top-tier mid-range option despite its impressive battery life. The phone is priced at around 2,200 NIS.
