UN General Assembly
The malevolent scapegoating of Israel by the United Nations has long been a scandal.
These abuses are regularly highlighted by tireless UN watchdogs such as Hillel Neuer, the executive director of UN Watch, and Anne Bayefsky, president of Human Rights Voices.

The current Supreme Court has been out of step with public opinion in some of its highest-profile rulings, including on abortion and environmental protection. Yesterday’s ruling restricting race-based affirmative action at colleges and universities was different.
In a 6-3 decision, the court’s six conservative justices declared that colleges’ use of race as a factor in student admissions is unconstitutional. They cited the Fourteenth Amendment, which prohibits discrimination based on race.

Former US President Donald Trump on Thursday told the Reuters news agency in an interview that Russian President Vladimir Putin has been “somewhat weakened” by an aborted mutiny and that now is the time for the United States to try to broker a negotiated peace settlement between Russia and Ukraine.
“I want people to stop dying over this ridiculous war,” Trump said in the interview.

IRANIAN PRESIDENT Ebrahim Raisi and Russian President Vladimir Putin meet in Tehran last month. Raisi plans to visit New York next month to address the UN General Assembly, despite US sanctions.
Russia’s Vladimir Putin spoke with the President of Iran and the President of the UAE in the wake of the Wagner rebellion last weekend. The Russian leader’s decision to phone leaders in the Middle East illustrates how important the region remains, not just for Russia, but for the world in general.
This is in contrast to some policy analysis that suggests the Middle East is no longer of interest in the West and that the US and others are shifting away from the region after decades of involvement. While it may be true that some think tanks in the US or commentators no longer see the Middle East as a major area to focus on, reality illustrates why it matters.

In the hours after Yevgeny Prigozhin’s army of ex-convicts and mercenaries halted their advance on Moscow, the Kremlin set out to seize full control of the global empire built by the notorious military entrepreneur.
Russia’s deputy foreign minister flew to Damascus to personally deliver a message to Syrian President Bashar al-Assad: Wagner Group forces would no longer operate there independently. Senior Russian foreign ministry officials phoned the president of the Central African Republic, whose personal bodyguards include Wagner mercenaries, offering assurances that Saturday’s crisis wouldn’t derail Russia’s expansion into Africa. Government jets from Russia’s Ministry of Emergency Situations shuttled from Syria to Mali, another of Wagner’s key foreign outposts.
T. Belman. Is discretion the better part of valor in this case. Bibi didn’t want radical reform anyway.

Surrender’: Coalition MKs up in arms after PM says he’s dropped ‘override’ clause

Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu said in an interview with The Wall Street Journal on Thursday that he would push forward with his planned judicial reform without its most controversial aspect, a provision that would allow the national legislature to overturn Supreme Court rulings.
“I threw that out,” Netanyahu said of the override clause. When asked if he would promote a revised version of the clause requiring a super majority, the prime minister said no – “it’s out.”
One of Israel’s Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu’s declared goals in his current term in office is to bring about normalization of relations with Saudi Arabia. Netanyahu believes that once diplomatic relations with Riyadh are established, a collective Arab-Israeli peace will be achieved, and would help bring an end to the conflict with the Palestinians. Last March, however, a bombshell landed in Jerusalem and Washington DC. The Chinese mediated a surprise rapprochement between Iran and Saudi Arabia that brought about the resumption of diplomatic relations between Riyadh and Tehran that were cut off in 2016.

Generally speaking, central banks are empowered to control the supply of money by employing a number of tools that include buying government debt, selling government bonds, adjusting reserve requirements, and setting official interest rates. Operating under various legal mandates to sustain an overall healthy economy, central banks ostensibly pursue policies that will produce relatively low inflation, steady economic growth, and low public unemployment.

Following reports that judicial reform will no longer include Override Clause, Jerusalem Min. Porush clarifies: Our party will not accept this.
Jerusalem Minister Meir Porush (United Torah Judaism) has clarified that his party will not accept the Override Clause being taken off the agenda.
Porush’s statement follows remarks by Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu, in which he told the Wall Street Journal that the clause is no longer part of the judicial reform and will not be advanced
T. Belman. I don’t know whether to laugh or cry. Why is Bibi kissing Biden’s ass rather than busting his balls for interfering in our internal affairs?
Israel National News Jun 29, 2023, 9:11 AM (GMT+3)
Israel Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu, in an interview with the Wall Street Journal, published Thursday, discussed the rocky relationship between him and the current American administration under President Joe Biden.
“I’ve known President Biden for over 40 years, it’s been a close friendship. We don’t always agree, and we often disagree, but it’s instructive to say I think he’s self-described Zionist, pro-Israel, and I don’t think that’s an inaccurate description. Although, as in any family, we can disagree and often do, I have no doubt about his sentiment, and I trust that that will continue. And I can also tell you that in the times of the Obama administration when Mr. Biden was Vice President, he often served as a channel to try to find a middle ground during times of intense conflict, so friendship is not a question.”

The special privileges that seem to be given to the haredim, especially the waiver of military service and the supremacy of Torah study over work is in some measure one of the issues in the protests we have seen in Israel over the last few months. Secular Jews of Israel sense that their power is diminishing as the population of Haredim and Religious Zionists grows at a faster rate. Haredim and the secular must make a priority of bridging their divide.
When former President Donald Trump challenged the results of the 2020 elections, one of the main debates that boiled to the surface was who decides the laws on the elections. Republicans argued that this legal authority falls on the state legislatures, and that these elected officials are the ones who make the laws and decide which electors get to cast the final votes in the Electoral College. Democrats argued that this power was shared—that state courts and state governors should be able to exercise their own authority and challenge the decisions of the state legislatures.
The Supreme Court settled a key piece of that debate Tuesday. And under the law of the land, the state legislature is not the sole body that determines how our elections are run. WATCH HERE

Last November, after 22 months of failed negotiations with the Iranians, President Joe Biden said the Iran nuclear deal was “dead.” In recent weeks, however, he has revived discussions with Tehran in a bid, reportedly, “to reduce tensions.” But that phrase hides more than it reveals. While Biden and his team claim to be working to halt the advance of the Iranian nuclear weapons program, their unstated goal is to constrain Israel, permanently.
