Jerusalem light rail operations to pause for one week

 Israel's Transportation Ministry is expected to announce the suspension of Jerusalem's light rail train for a period of approximately one week, Walla! reported.

According to the report, the suspension will take place at the end of January. During the five-day period, the trains will appear to operate as usual, but will not transport passengers, instead testing the new operating system installed by the operator, Kfir, along the entire length of the line, from Neve Yaakov to Hadassah Ein Kerem Medical Center.

Following this test period, the light rail will operate for the first time along its entire length, and the "red" line will officially increase in length from 14 kilometers to 22 kilometers, and from 23 stations to 35 stations.

The extended route was scheduled to begin operating approximately two years ago, but was delayed for a number of reasons, including that some of the testing staff, who were from Europe, left Israel in the period following the October 7 massacre.

Light rail construction in the neighborhood of Kiryat Yovel, the first neighborhood after the Mount Herzl stop (currently the end of the light rail route), began in the summer of 2010.

Approximately 180,000 people travel on Jerusalem's light rail each day, and this number is expected to increase to 250,000 after the line is extended, Walla! added, noting that the interval between trains at rush hour is expected to decrease slightly after the line is reopened and additional trains are added.

The Transportation Ministry is expected to operate buses to replace the light rail route during the test period, as well as increase the number of buses on existing routes.

Walla! also reported that during the summer, part of the light rail line will not operate for a period of about a month, to allow for construction of the "green" line scheduled to begin operating in early 2026; the light rail in Givat Shaul, which ends at the entrance to Har Nof, is scheduled to begin operating in 2027.

43,000 Fewer Cars a Day ...Traffic Into Manhattan Drops 7.5%

 

A new toll on drivers entering the core of Manhattan brought modest but measurable traffic reductions to New York City’s heavily-gridlocked streets in its first week of operation, according to preliminary data released Monday by the state’s transit authority.

Known as “congestion pricing,” the first-in-the-nation program launched on Jan. 5, collecting $9 from most passenger cars entering the city below Central Park during peak hours and higher fees on trucks and other vehicles. In the days since, total traffic in the tolling zone has dropped by 7.5% — or roughly 43,000 cars per day — compared to the equivalent period last year, Metropolitan Transportation Authority officials said.

“Just look out the window: there is less traffic, quieter streets, and we think everyone has seen it,” said Juliette Michaelson, the MTA deputy chief of policy and external relations. “Traffic patterns are already changing and they will continue to change.”

First proposed decades ago, the program is intended to raise billions of dollars in revenue for the cash-strapped MTA while easing congestion on the city’s streets. It follows similar initiatives in London, Singapore and Stockholm, which also saw immediate reductions in traffic after their tolls went live.

The effect in New York has been most pronounced during the morning rush hour period, with travel times over certain crossings — including the typically traffic-choked Holland and Lincoln tunnels that run under the Hudson River from New Jersey — falling by 40% or more, Michaelson said.

Despite anecdotal reports of more crowded train cars, she said the agency had not clocked a noticeable increase in subway users, largely because the baseline number of riders — over 3 million daily — is so high. However, a handful of bus routes originating in Brooklyn and Staten Island had seen an increase in ridership the previous week.

Within the congestion zone, the immediate impact has been more mixed. While certain thoroughfares have seen traffic reductions, others routes have stayed largely the same. A Midtown crosstown bus widely derided as New York’s slowest saw its runtime shaved by only a minute, according to MTA data. And there has been little noticeable change during the overnight hours, when the toll for passenger cars goes down to $2.25, officials said.

Bob Pishue, an analyst with INRIX, a traffic-data analytics company, said the MTA’s initial data matched the findings of the firm, which has been comparing drivers’ GPS data before and after the program launched.

“Fewer people are coming into Manhattan, but we’re not seeing a significant impact on speeds within the zone yet,” he said. “Some trips are faster, some are slower.”

He cautioned against drawing broad conclusions after barely a week, noting that many drivers were likely taking a “wait and see” approach.

Congestion pricing has sharply divided residents of New York and neighboring areas, touching off protests from many drivers, along with threats of sabotage and viral videos on how to evade the fee.

Proponents of congestion pricing, meanwhile, have hailed its launch as a transformative moment for a city contending with worsening traffic and aging public transportation infrastructure desperately in need of upgrades.

Initially slated to begin in June, the program was halted at the last moment by New York Gov. Kathy Hochul. A one-time supporter of the program, the Democrat said her position changed following conversations with “ordinary” New Yorkers, including a Manhattan diner owner concerned the toll would disincentivize customers driving in from New Jersey.

Hochul later revived the program but at the lower price of $9 for most drivers, down from the $15 fee initially approved by the state.

Tarek Soliman, the owner of Comfort Diner in midtown Manhattan, said he had spoken directly with the governor about his fears of losing New Jersey customers. While he said it was too early to tell if the program had hurt business, the new fee was already having at least one impact on him.

“Every weekend, I used to drive to the garage next to the diner,” Soliman, a resident of Astoria, Queens, said by phone Monday. “Now I don’t drive. I take the subway.”

‘There will be no peace’: Rabbi calls for protests against emerging hostage deal

Rabbi Dov Lior, one of the most authoritative religious leaders among Israel’s ultranationalist movement, calls on people to attend protests against a deal to release Israeli hostages held by Hamas in Gaza, which he describes as “the capitulation of the government to the dictates of releasing terrorists,” adding that it would be a “great mitzvah,” or religious act, to demonstrate against the agreement.

In a video message, Lior says that protesting is important to try and “thwart the designs of all those who want to cut off parts of our land, those who release terrorists with blood on their hands as if this will bring peace with them.”

Adds the rabbi in his video message: “There was no peace, there is no peace and there will be no peace. We need to strive to clean the land of all terrorists so that the entire Land of Israel will belong to the rule of the Jewish people alone.”

Lior has called for Jewish settlements in Gaza to be rebuilt following the October 7 Hamas invasion, along with ultranationalist members of the cabinet Finance Minister Bezalel Smotrich and National Security Minister Itamar Ben Gvir.

Lior backed Ben Gvir’s far-right Otzma Yehudit party in the 2022 elections.

Supreme Court Presidemtial Candidate Yitzhak Amit Violated Conflict of Interests, Signed Past Name in Case Document

 

According to a Ynet report, Supreme Court presidential candidate Yitzhak Amit has been involved in legal proceedings in recent years concerning his property in Tel Aviv, but appears in these cases under his former last name, Goldfreind, and the court administration was not notified of this as required.

During this time, as a Supreme Court judge, Amit presided over cases involving the lawyers who represented him, the municipality that accused him, and the promotion of a judge handling a potential government renovation project for the property, Ynet reported.

The judiciary issued a response saying Judge Amit had granted power of attorney to his brother, who signed documents on his behalf and was unaware of the existence of the legal proceedings.

MK Tali Gotliv (Likud) tweeted: “Yitzhak Amit should not only be disqualified from becoming the President of the Supreme Court, but he is unfit to serve as a Magistrate’s Court judge! I challenge anyone in the State of Israel to argue that a person exhibiting fraudulent behavior should hold such a position. The court administration’s defense of “he didn’t know” portrays Amit as either incompetent or assumes that the public is gullible. But here’s the truth: we are not fools, and we won’t accept this explanation.”

Aguda Party Who Has no one fighting in the war says : Government must act ‘quickly, without political considerations’ to secure hostage deal

 

United Torah Judaism’s Agudat Yisrael faction comes out in favor of a potential hostage-ceasefire deal, calling on the government to “act decisively and quickly, without involving political considerations or other interests.”

According to the Ynet news site, the Haredi faction additionally says that a deal is a “moral and national duty.”

“The duty to return the hostages home is not subject to dispute; it is a supreme value that transcends any political dispute. We must act immediately and bring them back without delay,” the faction that prohibits any of its members to enlist in the IDF!
