According to the report, the Israel Builders Association released a study based on data from the Central Bureau of Statistics that found that as many as a million Israelis in the northern part of the country lack a bomb shelter or secure location near their homes in case of an attack.

Sen. Ted Cruz (R-Texas) said on Tuesday that European countries’ “slavish devotion” to the 2015 Iran nuclear deal is due to their dislike for the U.S. president.
“Part of their slavish devotion to the Iran deal is that they hate Donald Trump. That’s the irony … you have world leaders who detest President Trump trying to convince him to give up his biggest national security victory as a way they want to say to the world, ‘You see, Obama was right and Trump was wrong,’ ” he said at the Hudson Institute. “And yet, the Deep State in the U.S. is pushing the White House to go that way.”

Israel’s ultra-Orthodox United Torah Judaism and Shas parties concluded a vote-sharing agreement on Tuesday and pledged to continue working together in the next Knesset “with full cooperation.”
The deal was signed by Shas leader Interior Minister Aryeh Deri and UTJ head Deputy Health Minister Yaakov Litzman.
Vote-sharing agreements are common in Israeli politics and a way that parties can pool surplus votes (i.e., votes that don’t add up to a full Knesset seat) to squeeze one more Knesset seat out of the “leftover” ballots.
For the Sept. 17 elections, the Likud has a vote-sharing agreement with Yamina; Blue and White has one with Yisrael Beiteinu; and the Labor-Gesher alliance will share votes with the Democratic Union.

Democratic presidential candidate Marianne Williamson offered an unorthodox suggestion Wednesday for dealing with Hurricane Dorian: using “the power of the mind” to will the storm elsewhere.
Dorian has largely spared Florida the worst of its wrath, but it is forecast to make a much closer approach to the U.S. coastline between late Wednesday and Thursday, with Georgia and the Carolinas in its path.
The storm has devastated much of the Bahamas, where the official death count stands at seven but is expected to rise as authorities reach damaged areas. Nearly three out of every four homes on Grand Bahama are underwater, according to authorities, and aerial images of the island of Great Abaco show a pulverized landscape.
