Zara Ends Free Delivery in Israel, Even for Large Orders

Fashion retailer Zara has eliminated free home delivery in Israel, implementing a 14.90 shekel fee for standard shipping on all orders, even those over 199 shekels. This policy affects six Inditex brands and comes as Zara reduces its physical footprint in Israel with store closures. Customers can still avoid delivery charges by choosing free in-store pickup.

Israeli Courts Rule on Eviction, Property Rights, and Contempt of Court

Israeli Courts Rule on Eviction, Property Rights, and Contempt of Court

An Israeli woman was ordered to be evicted from land near Tel Aviv's Metziitzim Beach after a court ruled she had no legal rights to the state-owned property. In another ruling, a woman's claim for half ownership of her husband's pre-marital apartment was denied, as she failed to prove intent to share. Separately, a construction company was fined NIS 4,000 daily for contempt of court after failing to renovate a dangerous building facade in Bat Yam as previously ordered. The eviction is set for December 31, 2026, while the construction company must begin work within 14 days.

Israel to Establish Regulatory Framework for Massive Data Centers

Israel to Establish Regulatory Framework for Massive Data Centers

Israel's Electricity Authority will establish regulations for new data centers, allowing them to consume up to 20% of the national grid's power by 2030, with individual facilities capped at 200 megawatts. A 200-megawatt data center consumes power equivalent to a medium-sized city and costs over 4 billion shekels to build. Construction faces significant delays due to long lead times for critical equipment like chillers and gas turbines, with full power redundancy not guaranteed during outages.
