Amir Ohana

The event celebrating Israel’s parliament is expected to host more than 2,000 visitors, including soldiers, police officers, Holocaust survivors, and students from schools across the country.

The visit was billed as a first-of-its-kind parliamentary delegation from North Macedonia to Israel, chaired by Mizrahi with logistical support from the American Jewish Committee (AJC). 

Opposition leaders said the legislation would create a "whitewash committee," allowing Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu to avoid taking responsibility for failures surrounding the attacks.

When asked who is best suited to lead Likud in the next national election, 80.4% of respondents chose Netanyahu. Other senior party figures received significantly lower levels of support.

Beersheba District Court President Benny Sagi was killed in a car crash on Highway 6, with police investigating the incident and leaders across Israel mourning his death.

Families and activists protested Wednesday to oppose a politically appointed inquiry into the October 7 attack, saying it would undermine accountability and replace an independent investigation.

The bill proposal will be brought to an initial Knesset vote on Wednesday; under it, the government would have complete control over the topics being investigated, including the judiciary.

At The Jerusalem Post Washington Conference, Knesset Speaker Amir Ohana said October 7 exposed the aims of radical actors and argued that Israel is a strategic asset for the United States.

Meeting at the US Capitol for the first time since the ceasefire took effect, Ohana and Johnson signed a joint letter to the Nobel Committee urging Trump’s selection.

The clashes over local and Central Committee seats are exposing power struggles ahead of the national primaries as political consultants play central roles on many competing lists.
