My comment: Nice, and not to be sneezed at. However, given the vast warship tonnage and hulls Turkey is churning out, alongside its trajectory of trying to dictate its will over the Mediterranean, it’s slightly worrying. The fact that a single patrol ship on the side of those countering Turkish maritime hegemony actually makes the news headlines speaks volumes.

Israel lead OECD in terms of GDP growth this year despite of war, meanwhile Ireland is the only OECD country that tanked its GDP this year

A 17-year-old Israeli midfielder is on the verge of making soccer history in one of the world's biggest matches. Orian Goren has been named in Barcelona's 18-man squad for Sunday's El Clasico against Real Madrid and will start the showdown on the bench.

If coach Hansi Flick decides to bring him on, Goren would become the first Israeli to play for Barcelona in Spain's La Liga, achieving the milestone against the club's fiercest rival. The match is scheduled to kick off at 10 p.m. Israel time.

Goren, who plays for Barcelona's reserve team, Barça Atlètic, earned his opportunity after impressing Flick during preseason and taking part in several recent first-team training sessions. The injury to midfielder Dani Olmo during Barcelona's Champions League match against Paris Saint-Germain last week opened the door for the teenager's promotion.

Israel is concerned that operatives acting on behalf of the Syrian regime intend to renew attacks against the Druze population in the Sweida province of southern Syria, a security source told Walla on Sunday morning.

As a result, the IAF has increased activity in the area, sending a warning to Damascus that Jerusalem will not tolerate attempts to harm its Druze allies.

The security source told Walla that Israel is monitoring developments in Syria around the clock and has no intention of easing the Israeli government's policy of assisting the Druze against any attempts to carry out massacres or abductions by operatives acting on behalf of the Syrian regime, including Bedouin factions coordinated with Syrian security agencies, or by regime personnel directly.

Hi everyone. I’m an Israeli citizen living in the US but due to my job I am not allowed to renew my Israeli passport. How do I visit Israel in the future if (from my understanding) Israel require’s an up to date passport for its citizens?

Thank you.

Not even pretending to hide the bias:

More than 2,000 forced from homes in Hebron amid Israel’s West Bank raids

Israel has imposed a lockdown and displaced thousands of Palestinians from their homes in Hebron, as the military conducts raids in the occupied West Bank following the deaths of two Israeli soldiers.

..."following the deaths"... what did they die of? The flu?

Why is Yahoo publishing this garbage, is no one else reporting on it?

Hi guys,

So my and my mums Israeli biometric passports have water damage (not severe but I think too severe for them to be “fine”)

We are in London, and from what I understand the only way to get a new one is to get a 1-year one, fly to Israel and get a 5 year one. So no way of getting a biometric 10 year one. From what I understand it’s a super long and hard process with it being impossible to book appointments once you’re in Israel so you fly there and hope you get one, and even then it can be anywhere in the country basically.

Has anyone got any experience with getting a new passport from the UK?

My mum is absolutely devastated as it was a nightmare getting our current ones, and she really really values it and is genuinely devastated so I’m just separate for any help…

Thank you so much in advance and sorry if this is not the right sub for this
