Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu on Monday condemned discrimination against secular women by bus drivers or by Haredi passengers, following a recent series of such incidents.
In a terse statement, Netanyahu called for anyone who discriminates against passengers on public transportation to be punished.
“The State of Israel is a free country, in which nobody will set limits on who can use public transportation, and in which nobody will dictate where he or she will sit,” he said. “Those who do this are breaking the law and should be punished.”

Delays of multiple flights are expected from Ben-Gurion Airport due to the current heatwave plaguing the country, Israeli media reported on Monday.
The Airports Authority stated that "due to the weather conditions and its effect on technical systems in the control units, and in order to maintain flight safety, it was decided to temporarily cancel the flights landing in the airport." This may cause delays in landings and takeoffs.
The authority also advised passengers to keep up to date with the airlines and the landings and takeoffs.

Hannover – Hält sich ein iranischer Todes-Richter in einer Privatklinik in Hannover auf? Oder ist er schon wieder ausgereist? Vielleicht war er auch niemals dort?
Das große Rätselraten um Mullah-Richter Hossein-Ali Naeiri, der als Mitglied einer Kommission in den 1980er-Jahren massenweise Todesurteile gefällt hat, geht weiter. Menschenrechtler vermuten, dass sich Naeiri zur Behandlung in der renommierten Neuro-Klinik INI in Hannover aufhalten oder aufgehalten haben soll.
Die Klinik bestreitet den Aufenthalt des iranischen Geistlichen. Die Staatsanwaltschaft prüft den Sachverhalt nun bereits seit Wochen. „Es wird weiterhin geprüft, ob und wann der Mann in Deutschland war oder ist“, hatte ein Sprecher des niedersächsischen Justizministeriums mitgeteilt.

When it comes to the domestic political crisis raging within Israel’s borders, Hamas is currently on the fence about how to react.
Hamas’s leadership in Gaza has not been taken in by the Iranian-Shi’ite axises confident pronouncements that Israel is weak and that its end is nigh. Unlike Hezbollah and Palestinian Islamic Jihad (PIJ), which are completely dependent on Iran, both ideologically and economically, Hamas is aware that democracy is one of Israel’s primary strengths.

The protests against judicial reform have been remarkably successful in creating a mass movement and influencing government policy. Bringing tens of thousands of people to the street every week for over seven months is not just a political feat, but a logistical marvel.
Arming legions of demonstrators with all manner of flags, signs, and banners, equipping them with a variety of slogan-emblazoned t-shirts, and setting up camps complete with toilets, tents, and provisions turned citizens into an effective force that brought a halt to the country and a freeze of legislation in March. Yet coordinating and supplying such contingents would seem to require significant financial backing. Coalition members and reform activists have attacked the legitimacy of the protests as foreign-funded.

Australia has announced that it will resume using the term “Occupied Palestinian Territories.” Should Israel respond by calling Australia “Occupied Aboriginal Territory?”
Under the previous Liberal Party government, Australia recognized Jerusalem as Israel’s capital and stopped using the obnoxious and historically erroneous term “Occupied Palestinian Territories.” But the Labor Party government that came to power last year has reversed both of those decisions.

Während Schulkinder auf der ganzen Welt die Sommerferien mit Sport und Unterhaltung genießen, wird palästinensischen Kindern beigebracht und werden sie darin trainiert, wie man Israel und Juden bekämpft.
Die Indoktrination und Gehirnwäsche der palästinensischen Kinder ist nicht neu. Die palästinensischen Führer haben Generation für Generation zum Hass auf Israel und die Juden erzogen. Diese Aufstachelung findet seit Jahrzehnten in palästinensischen Kindergärten, Schulen, Universitäten, Moscheen, den Medien und sogar in Kreuzworträtseln statt. Deshalb ist es auch nicht überraschend, dass Meinungsumfragen immer wieder zeigen, dass die Palästinenser radikale Ansichten vertreten und den Terrorismus gegen Israel unterstützen.
