The author contrasts this with the dire situation in other countries, urging gratitude for accessible care.Politics · 8h agoNetanyahu Urges Unity Government to Counter Existential ThreatsPrime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu is urging Gadi Eisenkot, tasked with forming a government, to create a "national reconciliation government" that includes all parties supporting Israel's existence as a Jewish state.
