T. Belman. Bibi is choosing calm over reform.
Strategic adviser Roni Rimon believes that Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu needs to rethink his plans following the recent developments concerning the Judicial Selection Committee, a key part of the planned judicial reform.
Speaking with Israel National News – Arutz Sheva, Rimon said, “I did not expect that the coalition would down the vote or the request of the Prime Minister. It was unexpected and it is a very rare occurrence that the Prime Minister instructs his coalition partners to vote a certain way and they do not listen to him. Everything that happened surrounding the voting for the Judicial Selection Committee was an accumulation of rare events – in a situation which from the coalition’s perspective was very critical.”

Everyone knew how it was supposed to end.
“One of the least dramatic days I can remember in the Knesset. You can cut the tension with a Gerber spoon,” quipped the dean of Israeli political commentators, Channel 12’s Amit Segal, on Wednesday morning.

Four hundred billion is just a starter figure.
According to Reason magazine‘s Eric Boehm:
Over the past three years, the federal government distributed more than $4.2 trillion in aid connected to the COVID-19 pandemic. More than $400 billion of it — nearly one in every $10 spent — was either wasted or stolen, according to a new report.

Mudar Zahran tweeted on June 13/23;
The office of the Jordanian Coalition for the Opposition in London received an official invitation, on a specific date, in the near future, by the US Congress, where the Jordanian opposition delegation will meet with a special, diverse subcommittee in Congress that was formed to look into the Jordanian issue..
Abedalelah Amaala tweeted today:
The last days of Abdullah II, 24 years ago, are black pages of his sinister rule and corruption, which every Jordanian, man and woman, bears witness to. ….. The conference of the unified opposition and the meetings of the US Congress will be the beginning and the final page of the Hashemites’ journey to Jordan. ……, the thief Abdullah II will leave,
After months of dogged public protest, it would have been tempting to view the election of Yesh Atid Knesset member Karine Elharrar to the Judicial Appointments Committee as a victory of sorts for the opposition. But a win of that kind is still liable to end in a Pyrrhic victory: As of now, the opposition’s representative was elected to a committee that doesn’t exist.
National Unity party leader Benny Gantz and Knesset opposition leader Yair Lapid therefore did the right thing in declaring that the negotiations on judicial changes would be on hold until the Judicial Appointments Committee is actually convened.
A review of a biography by Joseph Berger of the late Elie Wiesel, a survivor of Auschwitz, has just appeared in the British newspaper, The Telegraph. According to Adam Levick, the review was most disturbing, for the reviewer seemed to think it unacceptable that Wiesel was and remained a strong supporter of Israel. More on this review can be found here: “Telegraph Chides Elie Wiesel For Not Having Criticised Israel,” by Adam Levick, CAMERA, June 6, 2023:
T. Belman. This is exactly what I proposed in my JO videos from my 2017 conference. Check it out. Mudar Zahran is totally on board with it.

A Likud lawmaker is proposing a plan to divide Jerusalem’s Temple Mount between Muslims and Jews and to remove Jordan’s custodial status over the holy site.
Speaking to the Zman Yisrael Hebrew news site, Knesset member Amit Halevi outlined a plan whereby Muslims would control the southern end of the 37-acre complex which contains the Al-Aqsa mosque, while Jews would receive the central and northern area, where the Dome of the Rock sits.

In a chaotic and extraordinary day at the Knesset, an opposition lawmaker was elected to Israel’s judicial appointments panel Wednesday and a coalition lawmaker was not, after an unsuccessful effort by Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu to torpedo the parliamentary vote and delay it to a later date. Several coalition members broke ranks to back the opposition candidate in the secret ballot.
Vladimir Putin has warned yet again that if the U.S./NATO continue to escalate the war by sending ever-more controversial weapons to Ukraine, including yesterday’s announcement of tanks firing radioactive depleted-uranium munitions, this could quickly turn into World War III.
Putin said, “there will be no winners, including America” in a Third World War.

Attorney Robert Barnes appeared on a podcast yesterday to give his analysis of the political indictment of President Trump. It’s a long deconstruction of the Lawfare effort, and contains numerous defenses therein; however, it is a very good encapsulation of the ridiculous issues created by the Biden administration’s efforts to target their political opposition on behalf of the Deep State. WATCH:
“I know CAIR is problematic.”
It’s always awkward when you have to explain how, as part of the price of fighting antisemitism, you have to ally with antisemites. And the price of fighting antisemitism is limiting it to antisemites of the right political persuasion.
We have written about how the data for the six swing states show enough sovereign voter fraud (the election commission is in on it) and phantoms to overcome any likely Trump vote majority.
Accumulating events indicate that leftists may be helping Trump blow through their fraud firewall.

T. Belman. This postponement was due to pushback by Levin, Smotrich and Rothman among others.
Coalition expected to back PM’s initiative to delay Knesset vote choosing MKs for judicial selection committee by one month.
Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu has called for the Coalition to push off the election of Knesset representatives for the Judicial Selection Committee Wednesday, delaying the process by one month.
Earlier on Wednesday, Justice Minister Yariv Levin (Likud) reportedly lashed out at Netanyahu over the premier’s plans to back the election of the Opposition’s candidate, Karine Elharrar (Yesh Atid), the committee, demanding that both spots reserved for Knesset members go to the Coalition.
