Obama Continues to Ignore Israel, Saudi Arabia, Egypt on ‘Terrible Deal’ With Iran

Easily disregarding a few suggestions from Israel in making a ‘better deal’, Obama, insists that he had “yet to obtain a good answer on that.”

By Ryan Jones

 

A frustrated US President Barack Obama over the weekend questioned how Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu would address the Iranian nuclear problem, since he was clearly dissatisfied with the American approach.

An Israeli expert had already answered that question, noting that the only remaining viable solution was to intervene militarily.

Speaking at a press conference in Panama City, Obama said that he was well aware of Israel’s concerns regarding the nuclear framework agreement he and other Western powers had reached with Iran a week earlier. Continue Reading »

 Zionist Union Party calls on Netanyahu to hold in-depth talks with the US and set up contingencies should Teheran break out for nuclear weapons.

By GIL HOFFMAN, DANIEL CLINTON

Payback: Petition forbids ministers from using gov’t vehicles on Saturdays & holidays

‘It’s time elected officials set an example,’ says petition creator, in response to Transportation Minister Katz’s dismissive attitude in launching public transport on Saturdays.

By Itay Blumental

 

After Transportation Minister Israel Katz angered many Israelis this week with his dismissive response to the demand for public transportation on Saturdays and holidays, citizens decided to fight back with a petition calling to bar ministers from using their government vehicles in days public transport does not run.

IDF satellite program expanding into new spheres

The IDF’s satellite unit shot into action when Niv Asraf had been reported kidnapped, highlighting its capabilities after unprecedented use during ‘Operation Protective Edge’ in Gaza.

By Yoav Zitun

For some in the control room, the technology was familiar. Commanders of Golani, armored, and engineering units joining the search for Niv Asraf had used advanced satellite systems in last summer’s Operation Protective Edge. Continue Reading »

Israel’s debt from Gaza War recouped from its new natural gas exports

Israel’s new natural gas exports have fully covered financial loss from IDF’s summer ‘Operation Protective Edge’.

By Moshe Cohen

 

Israel took an economic hit from fighting Hamas terrorists in Operation Protective Edge, with the summer war causing an 0.3% reduction in the country’s GDP (Gross Domestic Product).

Gas field (illustrative)

But no need to worry according to the Bank of Israel – the country made its lost fortune back thanks to the fruits of its offshore natural gas reserves, which contributed 0.3% to the national economy in 2014.

The data came from a report issued by the Bank earlier in the week on the activities of the companies responsible for extracting natural gas from Israel’s offshore fields, how much they pay in taxes and royalties, and what the general economic impact of the gas stores are on the economy.

Should Israel Intercede in Regional Conflicts?

An Israeli Professor says the Jewish State’s involvement in global affairs was consumed by fighting for its survival, but the precedent of saving Jews was always first.

By Gedalyah Reback

 

Should Israel expand its power? It is not an easy question to ask or an easy expectation to bear. Israel is a small country that has seen it as an imperative to punch above its weight and maintain a qualitative strategic edge against its enemies. But as the country has prioritized self-preservation since its independence, the challenges are great and at times seemingly overwhelming.

While the rise of General Abdel Fattah al-Sisi in Egypt may have somewhat changed things, Israel could have been said to have rivals in Cairo, Ankara and Tehran all at the same time before Sisi took power.
