Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu called on rival Benny Gantz to help form a unity government in Israel after neither gained enough seats to make a ruling coalition on their own.
Netanyahu told Gantz to meet him “at any hour today” in order to hold discussions, saying, “We must form a broad unity government,” according to Haaretz.
The comments mark a reversal for Netanyahu, who had previously hoped to win enough seats in Tuesday’s parliamentary elections to form a ruling coalition with other right-wing parties and had at first ruled out working with centrists.

This week’s parsha is replete with many blessings for those who follow the Torah. However, it also contains many klalos. Those who stray from the path will end up regretting their actions, as the enormity of the Tochacha will befall them. Regrettably, as we review the pesukim, we recognize much of the history of the Jews in golus.

While the Trump administration hopes that it will be able to entice the Palestinian Authority into accepting its Middle East peace plan, dubbed the ‘Deal of the Century’, set to be released later this year, a new poll shows support for peace talks down in the Palestinian Authority – and support for terrorism up.
A whopping 61% of Palestinian Arabs, including 49% of those in Judea and Samaria and 80% of Gazans, approved of the terrorist bombing attack on an Israeli family last month which left 17-year-old Rina Shnerb dead and her father and brother seriously injured.
The three had been hiking near a spring outside of the Israeli town of Dolev in Samaria when terrorists remotely detonated a three-kilogram bomb, killing Rina.

A recent survey of the Museum’s archival collections and storage areas uncovered a formerly unknown box containing ashes from the mass graves at the Chelmno death camp in occupied Poland, run by the Nazis from 1941-1944. Given to the Museum by the Znamirowski Family, these remains represent a tiny fraction of the minimum 172,000 victims of Chelmno – the first stationary death camp to use gas instead of bullets for mass murder. They are the remains of unknown Jewish children, women, and men who suffered the greatest acts of inhumanity known to our world.

Speaker Nancy Pelosi urged House Judiciary Committee Democrats and chair Jerry Nadler to abandon ship on their “Moby Dick”-like obsession with impeaching President Trump, it emerged Wednesday.
The veteran California congresswoman launched the friendly fire broadside in a closed-doors Capitol Hill meeting last week, warning Democratic members and aides of Nadler’s crew that their thirst for impeachment would never survive a floor vote, according to Politico.
“And you can feel free to leak this,” Pelosi told those on hand for the verbal keelhauling, who did just that to the Beltway outlet.
Nadler’s camp did not respond to requests for comment.
