Return to UNESCO. Donald Trump did not understand why international organizations and international agreements were needed, and abandoned the Paris Agreement on stopping global warming, the agreement with Iran and UNESCO.
Israel abandoned the organization shortly thereafter.
This is an important organization, with which Israel has greatly enjoyed the cultural cooperation, and whose council has in recent years made unfounded and annoying decisions in the Israeli context.
The organization's secretary general is Audra Azoulay, France's former culture minister, whose last thing to say is that she is anti-Israel.
Instead of staying in the organization, and working in coordination with the secretary general to overturn previous decisions and prevent future angled decisions, we simply gave up and gave up on making our voices heard. by joining (which should, perhaps, make some Republicans to join back support organization). government Bnt-lfid there is no reason not to grant the request by the US and do ourselves a big favor too.
personal acquaintance. MK joy Rothman (religious Zionism) is Member of the Judicial Selection Committee. Rothman asked to meet the judges nominated for promotion in the hierarchy, but this was prevented, by order of the President of the Supreme Court, Esther Hayut.
To me, this is a very problematic directive, which can not apply to politicians who are members of this important committee. The nine members of the committee have a very heavy responsibility to select suitable and suitable people for judicial positions. Candidates may be instructed not to meet with politicians to assist them in front of committee members, but it is a mistake to prevent them from meeting with candidates themselves. Candidates may be instructed not to answer political questions, if raised during the conversation, but the candidates have the full right to present themselves, their judgments and their experience to those who are supposed to appoint them. This is also the right of the funders. Satisfaction with written assessments is not enough in such a decision.
Important - unprecedented.
Defense Minister Bnei Gantz's public visit to Morocco is an important event, and should be welcomed, but - contrary to what has been announced in the media - it is not a precedent.
On September 14, 1993, a day after the signing of the Oslo Accords, Israel's Defense Minister visited Rabat, the capital of Morocco.
It was a public visit reviewed, from Rabat, by very many media people from Israel.
The Minister of Defense, the Minister of Foreign Affairs and the Deputy Minister of Foreign Affairs were hosted at King Hassan II's palace, and he accompanied them on a visit to the beautiful new mosque inaugurated in his country's capital two weeks earlier.
The Minister of Defense also served as Prime Minister, and his name was Yitzhak Rabin.
Rodeina.
It was exciting to watch interviews with Rudeina Shalata, the principal of Araba High School, who was injured by gunfire at a direct inauguration at her school, apparently as a result of her efforts to prevent the sale of drugs at the school.
After a lengthy six-hour operation to remove bullets from her body, this brave and eloquent woman did not hesitate to announce that she intends to return to her post as soon as possible, that she will not let violence win, and that she trusts the police to find those who harmed her.
It is a pity that people like her come to our consciousness in such circumstances, but its exposure may contribute quite a bit to the grueling struggle with prejudices and mislabel.
A plan to close democracy.
Former Likud minister David Amsalem has submitted a chilling plan to close Israeli democracy.
Some asked him to apologize.
He refused.
Rightly so.
The one who should apologize is the one who knew exactly who it was, and yet appointed him minister.
Were we wrong?
Fixed!
