Israeli Official Demands Investigation of Haaretz Journalist Over Social Media Post

Haaretz journalist Yael Freidson is facing a demand for investigation after suggesting on X that she would burn the Chief Rabbinate's offices. The Director-General of the Ministry of Religious Services, Yehuda Avitan, called her comment "wild incitement" and requested police action. Freidson deleted the post, calling it a cynical remark to a humorous thread, but later challenged Avitan to address a halachic ruling permitting the theft of Palestinian olives.

Israel Warned of Economic Fallout From Settlement Sanctions

Israel Warned of Economic Fallout From Settlement Sanctions

The letter suggests restrictions could spread beyond settlements, affecting banking, trade, and daily expenses, leading to higher costs for consumers. This warning follows new initiatives from countries like the UK and potential US sanctions, exacerbated by a UN list of settlement-linked companies. The economists link increased pressure to settlement expansion, settler violence, and actions in Gaza, fearing a significant economic downturn.
