A political drama is taking place in Israel. Only yesterday and for the last few weeks, there has been serious talk about coming elections (due mostly to the &#8220;Tal Bill&#8221; which is about equal service - army and/or social by all sectors of the population), and what date they were supposed to take place (instead [...]]]></description>

Fallen Soldiers&#8217; and Independence Day passed peacefully, and there was even an amusing incident at one of the latter ceremonies, when our President Shimon Peres, Prime Minister Benjamin Natanyahu, Minister of Foreign affairs Ehud Barak, and Commander-in-Chief of the armed forces Ganz  who were sitting in the same row, all burst into song - we [...]]]></description>

The Egyptians have cancelled the contract for selling natural gas to Israel. The contract was part of normalizations                            in the peace treaty between Israel and Egypt  signed in 1979. Our minister of Finance said that he viewed with deep concern this announcement terminating the gas deal because  of both diplomatic and economic aspects, that this [...]]]></description>

Our President, Shimon Peresm recently sent a message to President Obama, asking him to pardon agent Jonathan Pollard who has spent 26 years in prison for supplying Israel, a friendly country, with much then needed information concerning Iraq. He caused no damage to the U.S.A. but his sentence was much harsher than that of anyone else ever [...]]]></description>

Last week something rather unusual happened and there were two Grad missile attacks on Eilat, Israel&#8217;s most southern town, which were fired from the Egyptian Sinai desert. Luckily they caused no damage. Egypt has of course announced they were not fired from their territory, which is ridiculous, as they couldn&#8217;t have come from anywhere else, but even [...]]]></description>

Last Friday, most of the Arab Muslim countries held demonstrations for their usual annual &#8220;Land Day&#8221; which is meant against Israel holding land. Protesters gathered in Israel&#8217;s neighbouring countries to demonstrate and also pro-Palestinian activists planned a Global March to Jerusalem. There was fear here that demonstrators would try to cross the borders forcibly and the [...]]]></description>

Last week when I wrote about the shooting of a teacher and three young children in a Jewish school in Toulouse in France, I made an assumption that it was a Nazi group behind it, because that is what the news media also guessed at. But a day later it turned out to be an [...]]]></description>

A million Israelis are under fire - and no, not from Iran (who are our greatest problem {nuclear} these days), but from the Gaza Strip, and over 20,000 children are not attending school in the surrounding areas, and also in larger towns further away, like Beer Sheva, Ashkelon and Ashdod. Since Friday the Kassam rocket firing  [...]]]></description>
