Questionable Integrity of Israeli Election

by Hezki Baruch

Shin Bet (Israel Security Agency – ISA) indicating that substantial sums of money had allegedly been transferred to Israel from foreign countries as part of efforts to exert foreign influence.

Following a discussion of suspicions of foreign influence, the Central Elections Committee approved the results by a vote of 15 in favour, two against and 14 abstentions.

According to the final allocation, Likud emerged as the largest party with 27 seats, followed by Yashar with 21 and Beyachad with 12. The Joint List won 11 seats, while the Democrats and UAL secured eight each. Yisrael Beytenu, Otzma Yehudit and United Torah Judaism each received seven seats, while Shas and the Religious Zionist Party won six apiece.

The Elections Committee announced that it had completed a review and found no evidence that the integrity of the elections had been compromised or that the results had been altered.

The approval paves the way for the formal submission of the election results to President Isaac Herzog and the beginning of consultations with representatives of the Knesset factions.

The investigation into suspected foreign interference will nevertheless continue. Intelligence presented by the Shin Bet apparently points to widespread transfers of large sums from foreign countries into Israel. (Disregarding all the evidence of the fraud and foreign interference in the election, President Herzog certified election results, and condemned “racist” rhetoric against anti-Israel Arab parties.)

Food for Thought: by Steven Shamrak

President Trump announced the end of aid to Israel, which began in 1979 after the Peace Agreement with Egypt. Will the US also stop providing aid to Egypt (1.5B) and Jordan (up to $2.1B), and funding to other Arab countries in the region? Israel must start charging the US for intelligence sharing, sharing innovation and improvement made to F35 and other weapons. This will far exceed the US aid provided to Israel, which was mainly used to stimulate the US economy.

NOTE: Over $17B the United States allocates in foreign aid to Egypt and Arab countries in Middle East and North Africa region – No protests or ‘outrage’ from anti-Semites!

28 Days of Uncertainty

Israeli President Isaac Herzog tasked chairman of Yashar party, Gadi Eisenkot Eisenkot, to form a government, giving him 28 days. At the moment, 67 Knesset members had recommended Yashar leader Gadi Eisenkot to form the next government, while factions representing 46 MKs backed Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu. While Eisenkot continues to promote a 48-seat national emergency government. (Meanwhile, Yisrael Beytenu chairman Avigdor Liberman is pursuing an entirely different strategy, conducting independent negotiations with the Haredi parties. And United Torah Judaism, which won seven seats in the election, did not recommend either candidate, accounting for the remaining seats in the Knesset.)

The First Time in UN History

The UN appointed Israeli, Shay Mizrahi, was appointed as a member of the United Nations Independent Audit Advisory Committee (IAAC), which oversees the organization’s auditing mechanisms, risk management, and financial controls. It is also in charge of advising the General Assembly on transparency, accountability, and the management of UN resources. (No chance that the ‘Ugly Nazi’ will cooperate with him.)

Political Prostitution as Compromise

Yisrael Beiteinu leader Avigdor Liberman said on Friday that he is prepared to compromise on legislation governing haredi military conscription. This could open a path to a 61-seat government led by Yashar chairman Gadi Eisenkot. United Torah Judaism chairman Yaakov Asher welcomed Liberman’s change of position but stressed that no agreement had been reached. (The ‘compromise’ will help to form anti-Netanyahu government.)

Israel, Greece and Cyprus are United

Israel, Greece and Cyprus are united against regional threats and agreed to deepen defence cooperation, strengthen maritime security and reject the Turkey-Libya maritime agreement.

Pardon Jewish Security Prisoners

Heritage Minister Amichai Eliyahu has called on President Isaac Herzog to establish a framework for pardons and sentence reductions for Jewish prisoners (patriots) convicted of nationalist-motivated violent and security offenses, arguing that Israel’s history of releasing thousands of Palestinian security prisoners (terrorists), more than 11,000, warrants a reassessment of its approach to Jewish offenders.

Ceasefire, not War, Cost Republicans the Election

Former White House press secretary Ari Fleischer rejected Vice President JD Vance’s claim that the war with Iran was responsible for the Republican Party’s defeat in the midterm elections, arguing that the decision to halt military operations before achieving victory was the real mistake. (In July last year the US sabotaged Israel’s attempt to remove the Iranian regime. Now some Republican leaders blame Israel for the loss of the elections.)

Quotes of the Week:

“I believe that the US will respect Israel if Israel respects itself. If Israel decides for itself what its long-range goals and values are – with regard to its boundaries or other critical issues – the world ultimately will respect it. Israel must do what is best for Israel, just like every other country does, and worry less about the reactions of others.” – David Friedman, former US Ambassador to Israel.

The Myth about US Aid to Israel

by Joshua Hoffman

As Americans headed to the polls for their midterm elections, President Donald Trump made a major announcement: The United States would stop providing nearly $4 billion in annual military aid to the Jewish state by the end of 2026.

Certainly, $4 billion is not an insignificant amount of money. American military assistance has been incredibly important to Israel’s security.

But Trump may has done Israel a favour. Most of the money Americans supposedly “give” Israel is money Israel must spend in America, and it gives the US leverage over Israeli decision-making. Israel’s relationship with the United States will now reflect its own priorities.

Israel can finally look the world’s greatest superpower in the eye now and say something that Jews, for most of their history, were rarely in a position to say to anyone: Thank you. We can take care of ourselves.

Under the existing agreement, Israel receives approximately $3.8 billion annually, including $3.3 billion in Foreign Military Financing and $500 million for cooperative missile defence. Most of the money Americans supposedly “give” Israel is money Israel must spend in America.

This supports American manufacturers, American workers, American military production, and American technological capabilities. The United States also benefits from intelligence cooperation, joint research, access to Israeli innovations, and military technologies refined under conditions that American forces do not ordinarily experience.

The Israeli economy is approaching $720 billion in 2026. The annual $3.8 billion assistance package represents only about half of one percent of that total. Israel’s defence exports reached a record $19.2 billion in new agreements in 2025, nearly 30 percent higher than the previous year. Countries across Europe and Asia are purchasing Israeli missile defence systems, surveillance technology, radar, electronic warfare capabilities, and other advanced equipment.

The fact that American interests benefit from the arrangement is rarely mentioned. Ending the assistance would not end antisemitism. People determined to hate Jews have always found reasons, and they will undoubtedly find new ones.

America has been an extraordinary friend to Israel, and American military support has contributed meaningfully to Israel’s security. (It is time for Israel to end the dependency and finally defeat its enemies, disregarding the ‘friendly’ pressure!)
