Israeli politics

NATIONAL AFFAIRS: After years as Netanyahu’s most trusted adviser, the man who bridged Jerusalem and Washington leaves gov’t, taking with him a legacy of influence, division, and results.

While Trump’s support for Israel is undeniable, his request for Netanyahu’s pardon crosses a line into interference in domestic affairs and judicial independence.

MK Gilad Kariv (Democrats) stated in response that under "Netanyahu’s leadership, Likud has become a Kahanist, nationalist, and anti-democratic party."

In the letter, Trump told Herzog that he believes that the Netanyahu trial was a " political, unjustified prosecution."

"This government will be remembered both for the October 7 attack and for its management of the two-and-a-half-year-long war and the seven fronts that followed," Dermer wrote.

Over 300 individuals are reportedly under investigation for the scandal, including multiple senior figures in the union and public institutions.

"Mamdani will face difficulties along the way, because enemies and friends alike know the meaning of Mamdani’s success and his path," MK Ayman Odeh wrote.

“New York’s Jewish community deserves leaders who protect them, not target them,” Deputy Foreign Minister Sharren Haskel told The Jerusalem Post.

“It’s not the time to talk about policy, but rather to pause and feel the nation’s pain, and look at the future," Meirav Leshem Gonen told The Jerusalem Post.

Yitzhak Rabin’s assassination was an attack on the very foundation of Judaism by an observant Jew, a product of Religious Zionism’s educational and religious institutions.
