    I know some may think this out of place, but it seems to me the right time and place to post this reminder from a month ago....
    He added that “the Kingdom made clear its position on the Palestinian issue which is based on the Arab Peace Initiative.”
    Jubeir’s tweets came after Prime Minister Binyamin Netanyahu’s office published a video from the Warsaw conference in which Jubeir, along with several other Arab diplomats, are seen strongly criticizing Iran.
    The Arab Peace Initiative, unveiled by Saudi Arabia in 2002 and re-endorsed at the 2007 Arab League summit, stipulates that 22 Arab countries will normalize ties with Israel in return for an Israeli withdrawal from Judea and Samaria.
    Israel to date has rejected the 2002 Saudi proposal due to the fact that it calls for Israel to accept the so-called "right of return" for millions of descendants of Arabs who fled pre-state Israel, effectively bringing an end to the Jewish state.

        He questioned the timing of the leaking of the hack story to Channel 12 — with good reason: less than a month before Israel votes, it was plainly engineered precisely now in order to hurt his chances.

          Day after premier goads Gantz over alleged phone breach, his office fends off report that Sara and Yair’s phones were broken into
          It isn't just the irony but also who told

          appeared on the recently launched Arabic website of the UK’s Independent newspaper, a venture backed by a Saudi publishing group with close ties to the kingdom’s royal family.

          Something like this would not appear unless MBS agreed. They have not been happy with some of Netanyahu's decisions during the election and have publically told him.

            Poll: 73% of Arab Israelis favor joining coalition; voter turnout on the rise

            poll commissioned by the Washington Post indicates that a large majority of Arab Israelis intend to vote in the upcoming elections — and most favor joining a government coalition.
            The results of the poll conducted last week by the University of Maryland showed that Israel’s Arab minority — some 20 percent of the population — is increasingly participating in national elections, and can significantly impact the right-left political balance in the Knesset and the makeup of the next Israeli government.
            According to the results, 73.1 percent of Arab Israelis said they intended to vote in the April 9 elections, while 23.4% said they would not. Some 77.5% respondents said it was important to vote, even in light of the nation-state law, the controversial legislation passed by the Knesset last year that enshrined Israel as the Jewish homeland and angered the country’s non-Jewish minorities.
            The results showed a steady increase in Arab voter turnout in recent years. In comparison, 63.5% of Arab Israelis cast their ballots during the 2015 election (polls conducted ahead of that election indicated that 69% of Arabs intended to vote).

                  Blue and White, Likud tied for Knesset, Zehut climbs up

                  https://www.jpost.com/Breaking-News/...imbs-up-585053

                  The strange thing at this point??? The Zehut party, although they would only get 7 seat, would have a lot of control over who gets the coalition ...

                  Zehut (Hebrew: זֶהוּת, lit., Identity) is an Israeli libertarian Zionist[4][1][2][5][6][7][8] political party founded in 2015 by Moshe Feiglin, former Deputy Speaker of the Knesset.[9] Its platform is centered around promoting individual liberty, including economic freedom, and applying full Israeli sovereignty to the West Bank.[4][2] Furthermore, Zehut has made legalization of cannabis a condition for joining any government coalition after the 2019 Knesset elections.[10][11]

                    In support of Netanyahu

                    AG says insufficient evidence showing Likud behind fake social media army

                    The report, which was compiled by Israeli social media watchdog Big Bots Project and reported by The New York Times and Israeli daily Yedioth Ahronoth Monday, identified 154 accounts using false names or identities, and another 400 accounts that were suspected to be fake.

                    The accounts were said to appear to work in coordination, sharing each others’ posts, and in a clear trend, their online activity increased nearly fivefold after the elections were announced in December last year.

                    Researchers said it was unclear who was operating the network, but said the suspicious accounts relayed tens of thousands of tweets and garnered over 2.5 million engagements.

                        Two interesting little articles. The first one shows...

                        Among Israelis 65 and older, Gantz beat Netanyahu 53% to 35%. Among those 18-24, however, Netanyahu beat Gantz by a nearly 50-point margin of 65% to 17%.
                        https://www.timesofisrael.com/young-...er-ones-gantz/

                        I never would have guessed that one.

                        The second is Gantz saying if Netanyahu wins Israel will end up ...

                        If Netanyahu wins, warns Blue and White leader, ‘you’ll get Israeli version of Turkish system,’ with courts, cops and media controlled, and PM ensuring he can’t be investigated
