Zionist Union leader Isaac Herzog offers rare praise for Netanyahu, saying he agrees with the prime minister’s decision to push off the annexation of the Ma’ale Adumim settlement.
“The prime minister was correct not to give in to the demands of the radical right to tear everything apart and make irresponsible unilateral moves toward annexation,” he says in his faction meeting.
The opposition chief also joins the chorus of others calling on the government to release the state comptroller report on the 2014 Gaza war.
“The Israeli public, and especially families who lost loved ones, deserve to know how their leaders acted when they sent their sons into battle, and how discussions on new strategic threats, chief among them the tunnels, were carried out,” he says.
On Tuesday, the Knesset’s state control subcommittee on secret affairs will discuss releasing the report.
Help us report truthfully on social media
As a multimedia journalist, my job is to take the quality, fact-based journalism produced by The Times of Israel newsroom and make it accessible across every platform — from Instagram posts to podcasts to short-form videos.
This is how many, especially young people, consume news these days. But misinformation is rampant on social media. Our team at ToI produces accurate, responsible short-form reporting on Israel and the Jewish world.
If you believe in the importance of factual social media journalism, please consider joining our reader support group, The Times of Israel Community. Your financial support is essential to sustain responsible multimedia reporting.
