‘Courageous, creative, and deeply committed’: The Young Scientists and Developers in Israel returns for its 29th year amid war, as part of National Science Week events.

The implementation of the suggested reopening timeline will be subject to a situational assessment by the Home Front Command, according to Education Minister Yoav Kisch.

In the video, one of the individuals can be heard shouting at the gate that they are a teacher, before blaming Kisch for the Iranian attack, and that "these missiles are your fault! Protect me!"

The Knesset has approved the 2026 state budget, avoiding elections, as coalition partners back the plan despite earlier threats and criticism over spending priorities.

The High Court ordered a new Knesset vote on the remaining NIS 98m in haredi school funding, as petitioners demand full data before approval.

At the center of the case are two laws passed by the Knesset in October 2024, one of them barring UNRWA activity in sovereign Israeli territory.

Smotrich’s proposed calendar would have schools shift some of their summer vacation days to the month ahead, with the missed learning being made up over summer break. 

In order to preserve Israel’s qualitative edge, its education system must excel at every level.

Additionally, special education institutions in Jerusalem will resume operations on Wednesday after the Home Front Command approved the measure on Tuesday.

Kisch made the remarks after conducting a situational assessment at the Nahariya Municipality in the North, almost two weeks after the shutdown of schools, daycares, and kindergartens nationwide.
