Bezalel Smotrich

During an interview for Nadav Perry's podcast on Sunday, Smotrich claimed a critical role in how the war played out and in bringing back the hostages from Gaza.

The government approved the Finance Minister's proposal to provide an economic safety net for victims of protection fees amounting to tens of millions of shekels.

Speaking with Gideon Oko and Amichai Atali on 103FM radio, Miran criticized Smotrich over his conduct during the two years in which Israelis were held in Gaza.

The Tax Authority warns that the move will entail a revenue loss of NIS 8.5 billion per year, which would be funded by cuts or an increased deficit.

Finance Minister Bezalel Smotrich said he drew a line with Netanyahu and had a necessary role in returning the hostages after October 7.

Eisenkot’s petition accused Smotrich of attempting to “spread hatred, lies, and mislead voters,” stating that “there is no place for lying, deception, and manipulation in the current election system.

The bill seeks to enshrine Torah study in the country’s Basic Law as part of a proposal that critics argue encourages draft evasion and changes the status of yeshiva students who do not serve.

Movers and shakers in Israeli society.

"I told the Prime Minister, even in our private meetings: For every tear of an Israeli mother, a thousand Lebanese mothers must weep," Ben-Gvir wrote on X/Twitter.

Here is a bet you can hold me to. The respect from the US lasts. The protection that used to come with it does not, and it gets tested before the year is out, probably in Lebanon.
