What does Two-State Solution Mean?

My business proposal to transform Israel politics

A farmer in the Binyamin region was given an administrative restriction order two months after it had been signed and claims the delay was intended to use the order for political gain.

I wish to address the unusual footage published today from the Jenin mosque. IDF soldiers are required to act professionally in accordance with the spirit of the IDF and its values. This is how the overwhelming majority of soldiers act; we will not compromise the IDF’s conduct. Anyone who does not conduct themselves according to IDF values will face corresponding measures.

In 1878, the Status Quo was internationally recognized in the Treaty of Berlin, which was signed between European powers and the Ottoman Empire following the conclusion of the Russo-Turkish War of 1877–1878. Article 62 of the treaty stated that: “It is well understood that no alteration can be made to the status quo in the holy places.” Article 62 of the Berlin Treaty extended the Status Quo to include all holy places and not only Christian sites

It’s astounding that, during a global surge of white supremacy and Holocaust distortion, Jewish organizations in Detroit are electing to remain silent about a monument to the SS in their city,” the writer told JTA.

Chairman of the Constitution, Law, and Justice Committee, MK Simcha Rothman (Religious Zionism), commented, "The events in Tel Aviv had potential for the judicial system to demonstrate that they are protecting society against governmental tyranny, discrimination and arbitrariness. Instead, we are evident that there is no connection between a court with infinite power, unparalleled in the world, and the protection of rights, or of the Jewish and democratic State of Israel."

Rabbi Israel Ariel, head of the Temple Institute, tells in a conversation with Israel National News about the unusual situation of blowing a shofar at the Temple Institute on Rosh Hashanah, which fell on Shabbat.

"There was great interest in participating in the observance of the mitzvah of blowing the shofar on Shabbat. Families came from all over the country: from Tzfat, Bat Yam, Efrat, and also from the neighborhoods in Jerusalem. They also walked long distances to the Temple Institute to be part of the blowing of the shofar," says Rabbi Ariel.

Justice of the Peace in Jerusalem Karen Miller stated that, "there will be no inspection of any kind, including a physical or manual search of bags, the purpose of which is to locate a Torah scroll and prevent its entry into the Western Wall."

The Women of the Western Wall were astonished to see that the security guards searched the equipment of the organization's women. According to them, placing bouncers alongside the security guards, who participated in the security inspection procedure, also constitutes a blatant violation of the provisions of the ruling and an excess of authority.

"We will return to court so that we can have our say on the blatant violations of the ruling, which is actually a compromise settlement agreed to by the Wall Heritage Foundation," said Women of the Wall in a statement.

Sheikh Ikhrama Sabri, the head of the Supreme Islamic Council in Jerusalem, attacked what he called the intentions of "extremist settlers" to slaughter and burn the ashes of the 'Red Heifer' on the Temple Mount.

Under Jewish law (halakha), the only way to remove the ritual impurity that comes from contact with or being in proximity to the dead such as by entering a cemetery is through a ritual that includes sprinkling the ashes of a completely red heifer on the person with the impurity.
