Coalition Leaders Absent from October 7th Memorial Events

Coalition Leaders Absent from October 7th Memorial Events

On the third anniversary of the October 7th massacre, Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu and most of his cabinet ministers were absent from public memorial events held on the actual date, instead participating in separate observances. Opposition figures and some coalition members, like Minister Itamar Ben-Gvir and MK Aryeh Deri, attended ceremonies. Netanyahu lit a candle at his office and issued statements, while Deri criticized calls for ultra-Orthodox conscription at a United Hatzalah event. The article questions the absence of key coalition leaders from the main October 7th commemorations.

Global Oil Prices Surge Past $100, Fueling Concerns of Further Price Hikes in Israel

Global oil prices have surpassed $100 per barrel due to fears of supply disruptions, particularly from tensions in the Strait of Hormuz and a storm in the Gulf of Mexico. This surge follows a recent increase in Israeli gasoline prices, which were temporarily lowered by a tax cut. Continued high oil prices could lead to further fuel price hikes in Israel, which are also affected by regional prices, the dollar exchange rate, and taxes.
