Ultra-Orthodox Party Reverses Decision, Will Not Recommend Netanyahu for PM

The United Torah Judaism party reversed its decision and will not recommend Benjamin Netanyahu for prime minister, following rabbinical guidance. Initially instructed to back Netanyahu, MKs received a new directive after Rabbi Dov Lando spoke with religious leaders. The party is now considering external support for a potential Gadi Eisenkot government, prioritizing issues like yeshiva students' status. Internal divisions exist within the party regarding reliance on Netanyahu and potential coalition partnerships.

Israeli Housing Market Faces Uncertainty Amid Price Drops and Rising Rents

Israel's housing market is undergoing a significant shift with prices stabilizing and slightly declining, while rents are increasing. Contractors hold a record 86,000 unsold apartments, leading to financing deals instead of price cuts. The new second-hand apartment index shows a 2-3% quarterly drop in major areas, making investment properties less attractive due to low rental yields compared to financing costs. The discussion also briefly touched on recent stock market declines and capital outflow concerns.
