Dr. Amir Fuchs, the Israel Democracy Institute and Naphtali Bensimon, Likud Party speaking at ILTV Studio about the controversy that swarmed following major rewrite of Israel's basic laws.

1. Israeli killed in stabbing attack

Shortly before the weekend, an Israeli man was stabbed to death in the West Bank by a 17 year-old Palestinian attacker in the settlement of Adam. The victim, Yotam Ovadia, was a father of two. The suspect breached the security barrier of the Adam settlement in the West Bank, and penetrated deep into the community before encountering Ovadia in the streets sometime before 9 p-m on Thursday night.

1. Four Palestinians killed over the weekend
   Speaking of a ‘relative calm’, things along the Gaza border have been anything but two Palestinians were killed over the weekend, including a twelve year-old boy, in clashes with Israeli troops. This brings the overall Palestinian death toll to nearly 160 since those weekly clashes first started earlier this year. ILTV’S Aaron Poris has more.

   6. The Israeli day of love
   Well over the weekend, you might’ve seen Israelis making last-minute purchases for flowers and chocolates and the like. That’s because Thursday night was the holiday of Tu B’av, which you can think of as the Israeli ‘valentine’s day’. Here with the low-down on the festivities is ILTV’S Emanuelle Kadosh.
2. 3… 2… 1… BOOM!
   Well if you’re living in the Golan Heights, you may have just felt the earth tremble a bit. It was most likely the detonation of 350 active landmines in the Golan Heights.

3.  Israel draws red line with Russia

Following this week’s dramatic escalation of tensions along the Syrian border, Israel has reportedly refused a Russian offer to keep Iranian forces some sixty miles away from Israel’s front door.

4. State earmarks $8 billion for missile defense
Israel puts its National Security above all else, and this latest news is clear proof of that mission.

The proposal is about to clear the final hurdle of approval at the security cabinet and would take place over ten years.
5. Deadly wildfire kills 60 in Athens, Greece
Deadly wildfires have engulfed the mountain range surrounding Athens, Greece. This situation has already turned tragic as at this time, at least 60 people have been killed in the flames. Another 150 have been injured, with hundreds more evacuated from their homes as the crisis continues to surround the capital city. Israel has extended a hand to help Greek firefighters on the ground.

1. Israel’s African Asylum Seekers still in limbo
   It’s been almost half a year since Prime Minister Netanyahu scrapped a plan with the U-N to safely resettle nearly half of Israel’s African Asylum Seekers in western countries. Today, that community’s future is still very much in limbo and the Israeli government, has just announced two very different proposals, which would assign this community two very different fates.
2. Kotel could be a ‘danger zone’
   Yesterday we reported on the condition of the Western Wall in Jerusalem when a piece of the wall spontaneously crumbled off of the structure, crashing down on the ground below. As it turns out, a Jerusalem resident was praying just feet from where the two-hundred-plus pound rock landed and now, experts apparently believe that the entire Kotel may, indeed, be decaying at a potentially dangerous pace.
