Top DemonRats Trying to Kill the "Abraham Accords" By Slowing down sale of F-35s to the UAE

 

Top Senate Democrats introduced a bill that would slow down the sale of F-35 stealth combat aircraft to the United Arab Emirates, part of the deal closed by the Trump administration as an incentive to normalize relations with Israel.

Critics of the sale say it undercuts Israel’s “qualitative military edge” in the region.

Sen. Robert Menendez, D-N.J., the chairman of the Foreign Relations Committee, and Sen. Dianne Feinstein, D-Calif., a longtime former chairwoman of the Intelligence Committee, on Friday introduced legislation that would mandate congressional oversight to ensure that the transfer of the aircraft complied with U.S. law upholding Israel’s qualitative military edge in the Middle East.

“I remain concerned with the implications of a sale of our most advanced fighter jet given numerous outstanding, unanswered questions about the implications of this sale for U.S. national security, our technology interests, and implications for regional stability including the legal parameters of Israel’s Qualitative Military Edge,” Menendez said.

An official of AIPAC, the main pro-Israel lobby, said the group had not taken a position on the bill “although we appreciate the senators’ commitment to preserve Israel’s QME.”

President Joe Biden froze the sale, prompting criticism from Republicans that he was undercutting the normalization agreement, dubbed the Abraham Accords. He unfroze the sale last week.

Israel at first opposed the sale but relented after lobbying by top Trump defense officials. A number of pro-Israel Democrats nonetheless remained wary about selling the state-of-the-art aircraft.

The oversight according to the bill would considerably delay any sale, and a provision that would require showing “the recipient country has not committed or enabled human rights violations” would likely be onerous for the UAE, which human rights NGOs score low.

The bill also fires a warning shot not to sell the aircraft to Saudi Arabia.

JStreet 2021 Convention Turns into a Hate Fest Against Israel

 

Not one speaker at the virtual "hate-fest" was able to say one good word about the State of Israel....not one...

Below are excerpts of two anti-Israel thugs ...

Senator Sanders at J Street conference: American people do not want to see US aid being used to support policies that violate human rights.

"I strongly believe that we must also be willing to bring real pressure to bear, including restricting US aid, in response to moves by either side that undermine the chances for peace," Sanders said, according to Haaretz.

"The truth is that the United States gives an enormous amount of military aid to Israel. It also provides some humanitarian and economic aid to the Palestinians. It is totally appropriate for the United States to say what that aid may and may not be used for," he added.

"In terms of aid to Israel, in my view, the American people do not want to see that money being used to support policies that violate human rights and that treat the Palestinian people as second class human beings," asserted Sanders.

"When we talk about restricting aid, it’s important to note that this isn’t about singling out any one country. It’s about acting in an even-handed way in the region, and making sure that American aid works to advance American values, not undermine them," he added.

Sanders had criticism for Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu who, he claimed, fails to advance a better reality for Palestinian Arabs.

Pocohantos Warren  expressed support for the two-state solution, which she described as being on "life support".

She asserted that the solution "is also the best outcome for US interests, the best outcome for Israel's long term security and economic future, and the best outcome for ensuring that Palestinians have the rights, freedom, and self determination to build a secure future for themselves."

Warren criticized the Trump administration’s “disastrous” policies which, she claimed, further delayed the realization of the two-state solution.

Warren criticized Israel’s construction in Judea and Samaria as a critical threat to peace and added that "the Netanyahu government may have put aside formal annexation for now, but the continued growth of these settlements and the destruction of Palestinian homes amounts to de facto annexation."

She also advocated for reducing the military aid the US provides to Israel.

"If we're serious about arresting settlement expansion and helping move he parties toward a two-state solution, then it would be irresponsible not to consider all of the tools we have at our disposal. One of those is restricting military aid from being used in the occupied territories," said Warren, according to Haaretz.

"By continuing to provide military aid without restriction, we provide no incentive for Israel to adjust course," Warren added. "In addition to destroying Palestinian lives and livelihoods, the continued de facto annexation of the West Bank is one of the greatest long term impediments to the two-state solution," she stated.

Chris Cuomo "When White People's KidsStart Getting Killed" Police Reform Will Come

 

CNN anchor Chris Cuomo said gun laws and police reform will happen when “white people’s kids start getting killed.”

The host of “Cuomo Prime Time,” who just last month claimed on-air to be “black on the inside,” claims to have the answer on gun and police reform.

“Shootings, gun laws, access to weapons. Oh, I know when they’ll change,” said the anchor. “[When] your kids start getting killed. White people’s kids start getting killed.”

Cuomo at one point in the monologue attempted to affect the hypothetical accent of a confused white parent, asking: 

“What’s going on with these police? Maybe we shouldn’t even have police,” he said, before directly addressing the whiteness of his audience:

“That kind of madness. That kind of mania. That will be you. That will be the majority. Because it’s your people,” said Cuomo, while looking into the camera.

Watch video of historic Mars flight by NASA’s Ingenuity

 

NASA officials have released the first footage of their 4-pound Ingenuity helicopter soaring over the surface of Mars, in what was the first controlled flight by an aircraft on another planet.

The brief clip was transmitted back to Earth shortly after NASA got confirmation that the out-of-this-world whirlybird successfully took to the air. 

The chopper could be seen hovering about 10 feet above the Martian surface for about 30 seconds, before rotating and touching back down on all four legs.

Ingenuity’s maiden voyage opens the door to further aerial exploration of the red planet, NASA said. The agency will dispatch the vehicle for more flights before its mission ends — and scientists hope to “push it to the limit,” in the words of team leader Mimi Aung.

“We want to push. We want to push against the wind. We want to push against the speed,” Aung told reporters.

“Ultimately we expect the helicopter to meet its limit.”

The atmosphere on Mars is incredibly thin — comparable to three-times the elevation of the Himalaya Mountains.

Aung and her team said the brief flight matched pre-flight simulations to the T.

“It did it just perfectly,” pilot Havard Grip said during a press conference hours after the pre-programmed flight 173 million miles away.

“From everything we’ve seen so far, it was a flawless flight.”

Ingenuity has invited widespread comparisons to the first flight of Orville and Wilbur Wright at Kitty Hawk in 1903. The landing site on Mars will be called “Wright Brothers Field,” NASA said.

“What the Ingenuity team has done [is] freed us from the surface now forever in planetary exploration,” said Michael Watkins, director of NASA’s Jet Propulsion Laboratory.

“We can now make a combination of course of driving on the surface and sampling the surface, and doing reconnaissance and even scientific experimentation on inaccessible places for a rover.”

Parler to be allowed back into Apple’s App Store

 

Parler, the social-media app favored by some conservatives that got blamed for contributing to the riot at the US Capitol, will be allowed to return to Apple’s app store, the company said on Monday.

Apple banned the controversial app on Jan. 9 when it said Parler failed to remove posts on its social network that were allegedly used incite violence. The move came on the heels of the Jan. 6 riots in Washington and was followed by other tech giants including Amazon and Google.

But in a letter to members of Congress, Apple said it would agreed to let Parler resume operations on its system again because Parler has updated its software to better monitor hate speech, according to the letter addressed to Sen. Mike Lee (R-Utah) and Rep. Ken Buck (R-Colo.), who posted the letter on his Twitter account on Monday.

The legislators had sent Apple a letter on March 31 requesting information on why Parler was banned from its platforms. 

According to the letter written by Apple’s senior director of government affairs, Timothy Powderly, Apple has been communicating with Parler “regarding failures in its content moderation efforts.”

Apple’s app team, the letter said, had found posts that violate its policies, including posts “that encouraged violence, denigrated various ethnic groups, races and religions, glorified Nazism and called for violence against specific people.”

Parler and Apple have engaged in “substantial conversations” since January, the letter said. As a result, of those conversations, Parler has proposed updates to its app and moderation process that meet with Apple’s approval.

The app can go live again immediately “upon Parler releasing it,” according to the letter.

Apple declined to comment on the letter and Parler did not immediately respond to a request for comment.

After getting booted from Big Tech platforms, the Nevada-based startup said it would run “sustainable, independent technology and not reliant on so-called ‘Big Tech’ for its operations.” It went dark for about a month and returned online in February after booting its co-founder John Matze.

Parler also sued Amazon twice — alleging antitrust violations and for kicking it off its Amazon Web Services hosting platform. Parler dropped the antitrust complaint, but moved forward with a complaint alleging that Amazon’s decision to kick it off AWS was “politically motivated.”

There is no indication that Parler been allowed onto Google’s platform again.

Capitol Officer died of ‘natural causes,’ not injuries from riot: coroner

 

Capitol Police Officer Brian Sicknick suffered a pair of strokes and ended up dying of natural causes after helping to combat rioters outside Congress in January, but his death was not directly caused by the event, the DC medical examiner said Monday.

The cop, 42,  had been hailed a hero, with President Biden ordering an urn with his ashes to lie in honor in the Capitol Rotunda — the country’s top tribute to a late private citizen.

Sicknick is only the sixth person in history to receive the honor, which also had been bestowed on civil-rights icon Rosa Parks, renowned televangelist the Rev. Billy Graham and three other Capitol Police officers killed since 1988.

Congress’s top Dems, House Speaker Nancy Pelosi and Sen. Chuck Schumer, praised “the heroism of Officer Sicknick and the Capitol Police force during the violent insurrection against our Capitol’’ in a joint statement at the time.

“His sacrifice reminds us every day of our obligation to our country and to the people we serve,” they said of Sicknick.

The cop had collapsed after he returned to his office following the protests Jan. 6  and died about eight hours later.

There were early reports he had been struck in the head with a fire extinguisher, but investigators eventually dismissed those claims.

Then two men were charged last month with assaulting Sicknick with bear spray — and a federal prober and second law-enforcement source told The Associated Press at the time that authorities were looking into whether the cop might have ingested the chemical substance, contributing to his death.

Capitol Police pushed the narrative that Sicknick was killed by injuries sustained during the riots.

The officer “was injured while physically engaging with protesters,” Capitol Police said in a statement the day of his death. “He returned to his division office and collapsed. He was taken to a local hospital where he succumbed to his injuries.”

But the report released by Washington, DC’s, medical examiner Monday will make it difficult for prosecutors to build a homicide case in the officer’s death.

ME Francisco Diaz said in his report that there was no evidence Sicknick suffered a reaction to bear spray.

There were no signs of external or internal injuries on the cop, Diaz said.

Sicknick, a New Jersey native, had a pair of strokes at the base of his brain stem and died, the ME said.

Specifically, the officer succumbed to “acute brainstem and cerebellar infarcts due to acute basilar artery thrombosis,’’ the report said.

When the term “natural causes’’ is used in cases such as this, that means “disease alone causes death,’’ the ME explained in his report.

“If death is hastened by an injury, the manner of death is not considered natural.”

Judge in Derek Chauvin trial says Maxine Waters’ comments could lead to whole case ‘being overturned’

 

The judge in Derek Chauvin’s murder trial slammed Rep. Maxine Waters’ call for protesters to “get confrontational” if the ex-cop is cleared in the death of George Floyd on Monday — saying it could lead to the whole case “being overturned.”

The stunning remarks came as the city of Minneapolis braces for unrest while the jury deliberates in the case. 

Defense attorney Eric Nelson had urged Hennepin County District Judge Peter Cahill to declare a mistrial, arguing that “an elected official, US Congressperson” made statements that “I think are reasonably interpreted to be threats against the sanctity of the jury process” and had the effect of “threatening and intimidating the jury.”

Cahill denied the motion but told Nelson, “I’ll give you that Congresswoman Waters may have given you something on appeal that may result in this whole trial being overturned.”

“This goes back to what I’ve been saying from the beginning,” the judge fumed. “I wish elected officials would stop talking about this case, especially in a manner that is disrespectful to the rule of law and to the judicial branch and our function.”

“I think if they want to give their opinion they should do so in a respectful and in a manner that is consistent with their oath to the Constitution to respect a co-equal branch of government,” he said. “Their failure to do so, I think, is abhorrent, but I don’t think it’s prejudiced us with additional material that would prejudice this jury.”

Cahill added: “a Congresswoman’s opinion really doesn’t matter a whole lot.”

The jury had just begun deliberating on murder and manslaughter charges in Floyd’s May 25 death.

Waters has drawn fierce criticism for telling protesters who were demonstrating last week’s fatal police shooting of Daunte Wright in neighboring Brooklyn Center that they should “stay in the streets.”

“We’ve got to stay in the streets, and we’ve got to demand justice,” Waters, of California, told a crowd of demonstrators in Brooklyn Center on Sunday. 

“I hope we get a verdict that says, guilty, guilty, guilty,” she said of the Chauvin trial. “And if we don’t, we cannot go away. We’ve got to stay on the street.”

“We get more active, we’ve got to get more confrontational,” Waters added. “We’ve got to make sure that they know that we mean business.”

House Speaker Nancy Pelosi said Monday that she didn’t believe Waters needed to apologize for the controversial comments.

“Maxine talked about confrontation in the manner of the civil rights movement,” Pelosi said.

“I myself think we should take our lead from the George Floyd family,” she said. “They’ve handled this with great dignity and no ambiguity or lack of misinterpretation by the other side.”

“No, no,” Pelosi added. “I don’t think she should apologize.”

Israir Will No Longer Fly On Shabbos

 Israir Airlines and Tourism Ltd. announced that it is stopping the operation of flights on Shabbos, Globes reported.

The move comes four months after the acquisition of the airline by supermarket mogul Rami Levy and Shalom Chaim through BGI investments. Both men are Shomer Shabbos.

 I’m a religious Jew, shomer Shabbat, and all my businesses are closed on Shabbat,” Chaim told Globes. “We respect those who observe Shabbos, and this is not a personal whim of mine, it’s the DNA of Judaism.”

“On the business side, we’re at the examination stage. We’ll examine the economic implications of reducing activity on Shabbat. We want to reach a situation in which there’s a weekly day of rest for the pilots as well. There are many businesses that don’t operate on Shabbat and aviation can be included as well.

“The discussion about the Shabbat was mainly in the media, as a consequence of the world view of the shareholders, but we haven’t yet examined the subject in depth. We understand trade but we’re not as well-versed in aviation. We’ll know more on the subject within two to three months.”

El Al subsidiary Sun D’Or International Airlines halted flights on Shabbos in January following its acquisition by a frum Jew, Eli Rozenberg.

That leaves Arkia Airlines as the only Israeli airline operating flights on Shabbos.

Biden's Admin Policy on Immigrant Shelters Forced Migrant Children to Relieve Themselves in Plastic Bags.

 The Biden administration abruptly closed a shelter in Houston for unaccompanied migrant girls this weekend. ABC News reports there were multiple allegations, including girls being forced to spend most of their day on cots and having to use plastic bags to relieve themselves.

One can’t help but be reminded of a statement by Biden Press Secretary Jen Psaki who was asked in February about something Former President Trump had said.

“We don’t take our advice or counsel from former President Trump on immigration policy”, Psaki said.

“We’re gonna chart our own path forward, and that includes treating children with humanity and respect….”

That seems to include forcing children to relieve themselves in plastic bags.

A White House spokesperson told ABC News that the site was closed because it “did not meet the Biden administration’s very high standard for child welfare.”

ABC reports: The National Association of Christian Churches (NACC), a Houston-based organization with its roots in disaster relief, was awarded a $4 million contract to operate the warehouse despite having no record of caring for unaccompanied migrants.

In a statement to ABC News on Sunday, Dean Hoover, a spokesperson for NACC, sought to redirect blame toward the Biden administration — who NACC claimed had control over the site after bringing in its own subcontractors.

“NACC officials were personally requested by HHS Secretary [Xavier] Becerra and President Biden to open the doors of their large Houston facility to refugee children on an emergency basis,” Hoover said. “It is deeply hurtful and unfair to the folks at NACC that anyone would now think of criticizing them when all they were trying to do is be good Samaritans and help the HHS help these children.”

In recent interviews with the Houston Chronicle, Jose Ortega, NACC’s founder and president, claimed that his organization had not sought out this work — but rather that Becerra had personally “begged” him to accept the contract and house the children.

“I’m a humble pastor that was thrown into this mess without asking for it,” Ortega told the newspaper. “We were not looking for a contract, we were not applying for a contract for us to make money — this was thrown on us.”

Ortega also pinned the deterioration of his group’s facility on the government’s failure to provide funds.

Anti-Semitic car ramming attack in Brooklyn injures five Jews

 

The driver of a minivan deliberately backed up twice over five hasidic men as they stood on a street corner in the Williamsburg area of Brooklyn on Saturday evening after Shabbat before speeding away.

The attack was caught on camera and began circulating on social media. The attacker was arrested a day later after a neighborhood watch group found his van.

The surveillance footage clearly shows the parked minivan backing up, even though there are no parked cars in front of it, and hitting a group of hasidic men standing on the street corner. The car backs into the five men, who fall to the ground. The driver pauses and then backs over them a second time being fleeing the scene.

The attack took place at 10:15pm on Saturday.

According to police, the driver initially stayed at the scene briefly as one witness tried to get his attention. He then drove away.

The victims are all related and range from 11 to 82-years old. None suffered life threatening injuries. The 82-year old man injured his foot and need medical care at a nearby hospital.

On Sunday, members of the Shomrim volunteer neighborhood patrol group spotted the minivan in Bedford-Stuyvesant. They called police.

Twenty-six year old Shokhobiddin Bakhritdinov was arrested shortly after, reported the NY Daily News. He was charged with leaving the scene of an accident.

The American Jewish Committee (AJC) called the hit and run a “horrific antisemitic attack in Williamsburg.”

“A driver pulls over, waits for a group of Jewish men to cross the street, and intentionally hits them twice with his car. We stand in full solidarity with the victims and thank @NYPD90Pct for the swift arrest of a suspect,” the AJC tweeted.

Father Who Murdered His Son Has his letter from Jail read at his Son's Kever

 

Loosely translated

"שאולי, בני בכורי, אהובי, ידידי ורעי, הילד שהייתי קרוב אליו מאוד מאוד. אני יודע שאתה יודע היום יותר טוב ממני, יותר טוב ממה שאני יודע, ואני בטוח שאתה מבין יותר טוב ממה שאני מבין".

Sholi, my son, my first born, my love, my friend, the child that I was so close to, I know that you know,  better than me today, and I'm sure that you understand better than what I understand 

"לי אין מושג בעולם הזה, בעולם ה'תיקונים', אבל אני יודע שאתה נמצא היום במקום גבוה, ויש לך כוחות לדרוש ולבקש מעל כיסא הכבוד".

I cannot grasp this world, the world where one can make corrections, but I do know that you find yourself today in a very high place, and you have the power to seek and request from the "holy throne"

"אני לא יכול לשכוח את הרגעים היפים שלנו, היציאות בבוקר שלנו לתפילה, ברכות השחר בחברותא, ההתמדה שלך בתורה, כמה שרצית לעשות נחת לקדוש ברוך הוא

I cannot forget our beautiful moments together, going out to pray in the morning shachris; our "chavrusah",your diligence learning Torah and how much you wanted to please G-d.

"אתה בטוח מבין את הסיבה מדוע הקב"ה לקח ממני את הדעת, וגרם לכזה 'הסתר פנים' מסביב, שלמרות שזעקתי לכל כך הרבה אנשים, ששמו לב שאולי יכולה להיות בעיה, ובכל זאת הם לא ראו, והיה הסתר פנים גדול מאוד

For sure you understand why G-d took away my cognition, which caused a "Hester Panim" and despite that I cried out to many people who noticed that there could be a problem they didn't see, and there was a great "Hester panim.

"אבל שאולי, זה כמו שהקב"ה אמר 'שתוק, כך עלתה המחשבה מלפני'... שאולי, אני נמצא רחוק, אני לא נמצא ליד הקבר, ולא זכיתי ללוות אותך בהלוויה, אבל אולי משמיים יזכו אותי ואותך ללכת יד ביד עם משיח צדקנו, במהרה בימינו, ואז נבין הרבה יותר טוב את הכל".

But Sholi,it was as if G-d said "quiet, that's what I want you to do" ..... 

Sholi, I find myself very far, I am not anywhere near your grave, and didn't go to the levayeh, but perhaps from heaven I will have the merit to walk with you hand in hand with Moshiach, quickly in our day, then we will understand everything much better.

"שאולי, אני ממש מתנצל בפניך, אם במהלך החיים נהגתי משהו שלא כשורה בפניך, אני מבקש שתתחנן בפני בורא עולם עבור המשפחה, עבור אמא, אחיותיך ואחים שלך; הם אומרים לי, הם שולחים לי מכתבים שהם רוצים שאני יבריא ושנחזור להיות משפחה מאושרת כמו שהיינו"

Sholi, I apologise, if during your lifetime I didn't do the correct thing, I ask that you pray to G-d on behalf of the family, on behalf of your mother, your sisters and your brothers,

They are telling me via letters that they want me to get better and to return to the family like it once was.

"שאולי, אם זה רצון השם, אז שזה יקרה בקרוב: תתחנן בפני הסבים שלנו, רבי נחמן מברסלב והבעל שם טוב הקדוש, שכבר תבוא הגאולה ושלא נשמע עוד שוד ושבר בגבולינו".

"אנשים אומרים שהיו פה דברים גבוהים ונסתרים, אבל אני לא מבין בדברים גבוהים, אלא רק בדברים נמוכים, וכל עוד שלא יגיע משיח צדקנו, אנחנו לא נצליח להבין".

"תתפלא שאולי, שנבריא בגוף ובנפש, אני - וכל המשפחה. 'בזכות האמונה של נשים צדקניות נגאלו ישראל', ובעזרת השם, בזכות האמונה של אמא עכשיו, נזכה לגאולה הקרובה".

Sholi, if it be the will of Hashem, and this should occur soon: Request from our grandparents, Rebbe Nachman from Breslov, the Baal Shem Tov, that the redemption come and there should never be anymore tragedies in our borders

People say that what occurred was "high and hidden" things, but I dont understand "high things" only "down to earth things", and as long as Moshiach doesn't come, we will not be successful to understand all this.

Pray, Sholi, that I and the family be healed , because it was in the merit of the faith of the righteous women that we were redeemed, and with Hashem's help, in the merit of the faith that your mother has now, we will merit soon the redemption 

בשלב זה הוסיף הדוד: אבא סיים את השיחה, אבל צלצל אחר כך שוב, ואמר לי שהוא רוצה שאגיד עוד משהו:

"שאולי, תלך ותגיד לאייבישטער (להקב"ה), שעל אף כל ההסתר פנים שאנחנו נמצאים פה, אנחנו עדיין אוהבים אותו, ואנחנו יודעים שהכל לטובה".

"באהבה גדולה, אבא. תהא נשמתך צרורה בצרור החיים".

Note: this was the original letter from the father, but then he called to add the following:

"Sholi, go and tell G-d, that despite His Hidden Continence, we continue to love him, and we know that its all is for good

With great love, your father,May your soul be tied to those alive ...

Deputy Commander Of Iran’s Quds Force Drops Dead Of ‘Heart Condition’?

 

Brig. Gen. Muhammad Hussein-Zada Hejazi, the deputy chief of Iran’s Quds Force, has died of a “heart condition” aged 65, the country’s Islamic Revolutionary Guard Corps (IRGC) announced in a statement on Sunday.

The announcement comes at a tense period of what has been described as the “shadow war” between Israel and Iran, with Israel reported to be behind a blackout at an Iranian nuclear plant; meanwhile Iran is trying to revive the 2015 nuclear deal, which Israeli leadership has repeatedly slammed as inadequate.

Hejazi was known for working directly under Iran’s General Qassem Soleimani until the latter’s death by a US drone strike in January 2020. Thereafter Hejazi was named the second-in-command of the IRGC’s extraterritorial operations unit, or the Quds Force.

Israel named him as the main man behind Iran’s project of manufacturing precision-guided missiles for its Lebanese proxy Hezbollah.

Shekel at NIS 3.30 to the dollar is 'the new normal'

 

The shekel-dollar rate is likely to hover around NIS 3.30 for the near future, Bank Leumi analysts said.

"In our estimation, the NIS 3.30 dollar rate has become the 'new normal,' in contrast to recent years, when we were accustomed to seeing the shekel at an average rate of NIS 3.60, and reaching 3.80 at some point almost every year," Leumi head of market strategy Koby Levi wrote in a recent note to investors.  

"Assuming a weakening of the dollar worldwide, by the end of 2021 the average exchange rate of the shekel will be in the range of NIS 3.25-3.35 per dollar," he wrote. "This forecast takes into account the continued massive intervention of the Bank of Israel in trade, in volumes that exceed the annual framework of $30 billion. The shekel may exceed this range for short periods of time as a result of the realization of risk events or unforeseen events."

The shekel-dollar rate stood at NIS 3.27 as of Monday morning. It reached 3.34 at the end of March, and has been below 3.40 since early November.

"There are a number of opposing forces that will affect the strength of the shekel in the coming year," the bank said. "Supporting the shekel are Israel's current account surplus and the surplus in the balance of payments. On the other hand, the Bank of Israel's interventions, the huge volume of purchases and the expanding interest rate policy would serve to weaken the shekel."
