YAIR LAPID


Reports: Turkey thwarts attack ahead of visit by Israeli FM

ANKARA, Turkey — (AP) — Turkish authorities have detained five Iranians suspected of planning attacks on Israelis ahead of Thursday's visit to Turkey by Israeli Foreign Minister Yair Lapid, Turkish media reports said. They were also expected to discuss a recent warning issued by Israel calling on its citizens to avoid travel to Turkey and urging Israelis in Turkey to leave immediately. The warning angered Turkey, whose economy depends on tourism to a large extent. Israeli Prime Minister Naftali Bennett has since said that a joint operation with Turkey succeeded in thwarting several attacks and resulted in the arrest of several suspected operatives on Turkish soil in recent days. Under the agreement that forged Bennett’s coalition government, Lapid is expected in the coming days to become caretaker prime minister until a new government is cobbled together after the elections.

Israel army shoots Palestinian while crossing from West Bank

(AP Photo/Maya Alleruzzo, Pool) (Maya Alleruzzo)TEL AVIV, Israel — (AP) — The Palestinian Health Ministry said Sunday that a Palestinian man died after he was shot by Israeli troops near a military checkpoint in the occupied West Bank. In a separate incident, a Palestinian man allegedly stabbed an Israeli police officer outside Jerusalem's Old City. “The Israeli government’s main goal is to restore personal security to Israeli citizens,” he said. Images in Israeli media showed masked security forces confronting the men, who appeared to be beneath a green shrub in a rugged patch of land.

The stabbing was the latest in a series of deadly assaults deep inside the country in recent weeks. Israel says the policy of demolishing homes of Palestinians who kill Israelis serves to deter would-be attackers, while rights groups say it amounts to collective punishment. Nearly 30 Palestinians have died in violence — most of whom had carried out attacks or were involved in confrontations with Israeli forces in the West Bank.

Several dozen Jewish tycoons from Russia are believed to have taken on Israeli citizenship or residency in recent years. Israel, which has emerged as an unlikely mediator between Ukraine and Russia, has not joined the sanctions imposed by the U.S., Britain, European Union and others. But as the war in Ukraine drags on, and other names are added to the list, the pressure is increasing. With a limited number of places to go, a growing number of Jewish tycoons, especially those with Israeli citizenship, could find themselves spending more time in Israel. While Israel weighs its moves, Jewish organizations already are taking a closer look at their relations with Russian oligarchs.

Israel faces crisis over tree-planting, protests in Negev

JERUSALEM — (AP) — Israel’s fragile governing coalition faced a crisis on Wednesday after Bedouins staged protests against tree-planting by nationalists on disputed land in the Negev desert. Some protesters on Tuesday evening hurled stones at vehicles on a highway near Beersheba, blocked the railway line and torched a vehicle. The conflict over planting trees in the Negev in southern Israel - home to Bedouin villages unrecognized by the state - has divided the government. Ra’am, the Islamist party, secured four seats in the 120-member Knesset, Israel’s parliament, in last year’s elections, with strong support among Bedouin citizens of Israel. They range from the small Islamist and liberal parties to ultranationalists, and were united only in their opposition to longtime leader Benjamin Netanyahu.
