Israel Heads to Polls in Pivotal Election Amid War and Deep Divisions

Israelis are voting on October 27 in a critical general election shaped by the aftermath of the October 7 Hamas attack and the ongoing war. Key issues include accountability for security failures, military conscription for the ultra-Orthodox, and the future of democratic institutions. Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu faces a strong challenge from former IDF chief Gadi Eisenkot, with polls showing a tight race. The election's outcome is uncertain, with coalition-building expected to be complex due to deep political divisions and the potential influence of smaller parties.

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.
