Netanyahu made the announcement naming Sharvit as the successor to outgoing Shin Bet head Ronen Bar early Monday, in a move that reportedly blindsided senior defense officials. The choice quickly drew attention due to Sharvit’s alleged past involvement in anti-government demonstrations, and the continued controversy around Bar’s dismissal, which is linked to a criminal investigation involving individuals close to the prime minister.

The Democratic base is angry. Not just at President Donald Trump, Elon Musk and the “Make America Great Again” movement. Rank-and-file Democrats are mad at their own leaders and increasingly agitating to replace them. Arizona Democrats pushed out their party chair, and Georgia Democrats are on their way to doing the same. And Senate Minority Leader Chuck Schumer of New York postponed a book tour in the face of protests amid calls from progressives that he face a primary challenge. The losing party after a presidential election often spends time in the wilderness, but the visceral anger among Democrats toward their party leaders is reaching a level reminiscent of the tea party movement that swept out Republican incumbents 15 years ago.

For the first time, remnants of 7th-century BCE Egyptian pottery have been discovered in the area, indicating that Egyptian forces were indeed present at this crucial point in history—just as the Nevi’im recount. “Megiddo is unique—mentioned both in Tanach and in the great historical records of the ancient Near East,” explained Professor Yisrael Finkelstein, head of the University of Haifa’s Megiddo Expedition.
