A former secretary who worked for the commander of a Nazi death camp has been convicted of complicity in the murders of more than 10,500 people.

Furchner, the first woman to be tried for Nazi crimes in decades, was given a two-year suspended jail term.

 United Torah Judaism's coalition demands while negotiating with prime minister-designate Benjamin Netanyahu reportedly include ending electricity production on Shabbat.

"Any final agreement will preserve the status quo in matters of religion and state," the Likud said after the demands were leaked to the media, stressing that not all the demands will be part of the final coalition agreement.

UTJ also wants a representative from the Chief Rabbinate in any panel weighing permits for work on Shabbat, the Jewish day of rest; more gender-segregated beaches; additional public transportation discounts in predominantly ultra-Orthodox cities; affirmative action for the ultra-Orthodox when applying for jobs in government companies and more religious studies in secular schools.

KAN's Mark Weiss asked Rabbi Yehoshua Pfeffer, head of the Haredi Israel division at the Tikva Fund, if he was surprised by the backlash that followed the publication of the  UTJ demands.
