MK threatens Bennett: Accept these 3 demands or government falls
MK Nir Orbach of the Yamina party has threatened to follow the example of Idit Silman and leave the government if three demands are not met.
“Unfortunately, I won’t be able to support harming the Jewish character of the State of Israel and the Jewish people,” Silman, the former coalition whip and Yamina MK, said when she caught Prime Minister Naftali Bennett — and the country — by surprise in her unexpected announcement.
The move critically wounded the shaky coalition, which had only 61 MKs in the 120-seat Knesset and is now tied with the opposition. If just one MK follows suit, the government will fall.
On Thursday, Orbach issued his ultimatum, demanding the government backtrack on its plan to cancel daycare subsidies for yeshiva students; the convening of the planning commission to approve building plans for 4,000 new homes in Jewish communities in Judea and Samaria; and connecting Jewish settlements in Judea and Samaria to Israel’s electricity grid.
“Without a solution to these issues, I will not be able to remain in the coalition,” Orbach said in a statement.
During a faction meeting held Wednesday, he attacked Bennett for using the phrase “West Bank” last week when referring to the region of Judea and Samaria in conversation with U.S. Secretary of State Antony Blinken. Although Silman didn’t bring up that point when she defected, many in the right-wing camp, including in Bennett’s right-wing party, were furious, with some expressing hope that the government would fall.
“Such an expression is another deterioration of the government’s values,” said Yigal Dilmoni, director-general of the Yesha Council, an umbrella organization for councils and organizations from Judea and Samaria — which Bennett once headed.
“It is added to the freeze of construction [in Judea and Samaria] and the turning of its back on the Israeli communities. Such a government must go home,” Dilmoni demanded.

When the name of the terrorist responsible for the deadly Tel Aviv shooting attack became known, along with the location of his residence, public address systems were heard calling out, "Allahu akhbar," playing "nationalist" songs, and announcing support for the terrorist and the "heroic action" which he carried out in "Tel Al-Rabia," the Arab name for Tel Aviv, the Jewish city founded in 1909 on bare stretches of sand dunes near Jaffa.
Terrorist Ra'ad Hazam was eliminated in Jaffa early Friday morning. According to security sources, he did not belong to any terror group.
The announcements on the mosques' public address system were called in the name of the nationalist and Islamic forces, among them the Fatah movement, to which Palestinian Authority Chairman Mahmoud Abbas belongs; and the Islamic Jihad and Hamas terror groups.
On one Telegram channel affiliated with Arab terror organizations, terrorist Ra'ad Hazam was called, "the lion of the [Al-Quds] troops," and his name was included in a list of 31 terrorists from the Jenin area "who defended Falastin in the past two years." Also included in the list is Bnei Brak terrorist Dia Hamarsha.
Thousands came from Jenin and the surrounding villages, marching towards the home of the terrorist's family in order to express support.
On social media, they wrote, "Allah's victory is achieved through blood," and "The Al-Aqsa troops promised a response to the crime of murdering its sons in Jenin - and the troops did not neglect their duty."
The terrorist's father came out to the masses who had arrived outside the family's Jenin home and said, "Victory will come soon. In the coming days you will see the change. You will be free and independent. God, free Al-Aqsa mosque from the hands of the occupation."
‘Dirty Dozen’ warning: Fruits and veggies rank on danger list
This could make people berry afraid.
Every year the Environmental Working Group re-releases an updated Dirty Dozen list, which ranks the 12 fruits and vegetables that contribute most to the levels of pesticides in your body.
And for the second consecutive year, juicy strawberries have topped the list.
The EWG produces their annual Dirty Dozen — all well as the Clean 15 — to “educate the public about fruits and vegetables with the highest and lowest pesticide residues so consumers can make the best decisions for their families,” they write.
While chemical pest killers are used widely throughout conventional farming, many researchers fear that potentially hazardous compounds are being synthesized and implemented without sufficient evidence to guarantee safety.
Pretty much any unpeeled fruit or vegetable carries the risk of pesticide exposure as its skin gets regularly doused with chemicals.
The EWG found that 90% of samples taken from most fruits on the list tested positive for at least two kinds of pesticides.
“A single sample of kale, collard and mustard greens had up to 21 different pesticides,” EWG also said. “On average, spinach samples had 1.8 times as much pesticide residue by weight as any other crop tested.”
