Taba note.
For those who believe in private supervision (like Grandma Rachel, peace be upon her, who forbade us to dip the stuffed carp again on Rosh Hashanah, to prevent all kinds of barking during the year), the ten days between Yom Kippur and Hoshana Rabba are the last. .
The sentence was already handed down yesterday, of course, but if a person makes a great repetition in repentance, something dramatic that can shock even one who has already condemned, then perhaps something can be done through a good note (whose existence was discovered in Kabbalah, and is called in Aramaic "note taba"). Abolishing a harsh sentence.
This can actually be a good opportunity for those who thought, and did not hide their opinion on the various networks, that the Palestinian prisoners who fled will soon reach the Arab villages in Israel, and immediately fall into the arms of their residents, who will be happy to serve and hide them. The hatred of some of us does not need proof. She had enough speculation. But I have a feeling that those seeking forgiveness from among the prophets of these prophecies may still win a taboo note.
National priority areas. It began in January 1993. Yitzhak Rabin came to power amid his key promise to change priorities, and his government did decide to set some national priorities, feeling that in previous years the Negev and Galilee had been neglected and many investments targeted settlements, regardless of economic status or size. The government determined that it was necessary to change priorities, in order to disperse the population and absorb the many immigrants who arrived in those years from the former USSR countries. The Likud decided to change the map of national priorities, and it was not surprising that what is known as "national priority" is so subjectively referred to by the observer.
Right-wing elements in the Bennett government are now insisting on extending the existing map (which places special emphasis on settlements), as part of a general view in favor of the continuation of the status quo. Center and left-wing elements want to draw a new map that will not give priority to settlements. Supporters of the two-state solution are not allowed to give up drawing a new priority map. The settlements were intended to prevent the division of the land, and for them - without the division of the land, Israel would not exist as a Jewish-democratic state. A waiver on this issue is not a spot waiver of an undesirable matter that can be swallowed. This is an issue that justifies a determined political struggle.
The Prime Minister frequently presents the following equation: The government of change will not negotiate with the Palestinians or make peace with them, but - on the other hand - will not annex territories either. But the two parts of this equation are not equal. The annexation of the West Bank, or parts of it It has not occurred since the occupation of the West Bank 54 years ago, not even in the days of Trump-Netanyahu. Is an injury to the bird of their minds.
Since neither side can form a government without the other, if the peace parties are indeed willing to postpone the goal of the political settlement, they must address a number of issues that will not diminish the chances of reaching a political solution in the not too distant future.
For example, stopping construction in the settlements, and certainly stopping the system of incentives promised to anyone willing to cross the Green Line to the right, should be an unequivocal demand of the partners from the center and from the left, to balance the equation a little more.
Call to the flag.
42 years after the signing of the peace agreement with Egypt, the presence of the Israeli flag at the meeting between President al-Sisi and Prime Minister Bennett was not supposed to make headlines.
and yet.
