Israel's new government unveils plan to weaken Supreme Court

JERUSALEM — (AP) — Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu’s justice minister on Wednesday unveiled the new government’s long-promised overhaul of the judicial system that aims to weaken the country's Supreme Court. Levin laid out a law that would empower the country’s 120-seat parliament, or Knesset, to override Supreme Court decisions with a simple majority of 61 votes. Levin also proposed that politicians play a greater role in the appointment of Supreme Court judges. “That’s not democracy.”The planned overhaul has already drawn fierce criticism from Israel’s attorney general and the Israeli opposition, underscoring the difficulties that Netanyahu’s new hard-right government will face. Baharav-Miara made her standing clear in a note to the Supreme Court, which is set to soon discuss appeals against Deri's appointment.

Israel PM rejects US probe into killing of Shireen Abu Akleh

JERUSALEM — (AP) — Israel's departing Prime Minister Yair Lapid doubled down Tuesday on his government's harsh condemnation of a reported investigation by the United States Department of Justice into the killing of Shireen Abu Akleh, a Palestinian-American journalist, in the occupied West Bank. There were no details about when an investigation might begin and what it would involve, nor what the ramifications might be. “(Their investigations) are no more than attempts to cover up the criminals.”Palestinian officials, Abu Akleh's family and Al Jazeera have accused Israel of intentionally killing Abu Akleh. Several independent investigations, including by The Associated Press, have concluded that Abu Akleh was most probably killed by Israeli fire. “We will not abandon our soldiers to foreign investigations,” Lapid told the new lawmakers.

Israel's premier calls for unity after Netanyahu victory

Israel’s prime minister on Sunday issued a plea for national unity, days after he was defeated in national elections by the former premier, Benjamin Netanyahu, with the backing of a far-right ultranationalist party. In a memorial ceremony for the assassinated Prime Minister Yitzhak Rabin, outgoing Prime Minister Yair Lapid warned of the deep divisions plaguing the country after the bitter campaign, Israel's fifth election since 2019. Religious Zionism emerged as the third-largest party in Parliament and is expected to play a key role in in Netanyahu’s government.

Israeli PM Lapid concedes defeat to Netanyahu in election

TEL AVIV, Israel — (AP) —Israeli Prime Minister Yair Lapid's office says he has conceded defeat to former Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu in this week's election. A statement said Lapid congratulated Netanyahu and has instructed his office to prepare an organized transition of power. TEL AVIV, Israel (AP) — Israeli election officials were tallying the final votes from national elections on Thursday, with former Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu looking likely to reclaim the premiership with a comfortable majority backed by far-right allies. But the likelihood was small, and members of Netanyahu's expected coalition were already jockeying for portfolios in what will be Israel's most right-wing government. His opponents in the current coalition, led by caretaker Prime Minister Yair Lapid, were expected to win 50 seats.

The Israeli army says most of the Palestinians killed have been militants. Even as final ballots were still being counted from the election, violence flared up with two Palestinians killed on Thursday. Hamas and Fatah, the Palestinian party that controls the West Bank, have remained bitterly divided for 15 years.

Netanyahu set to return to power in Israel after PM concedes

Former Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu appears set to return to power as head of Israel’s most right-wing government ever after winning this week’s national election.

As Israel's far right parties celebrate, Palestinians shrug

Under his leadership, Israel vastly expanded its population of West Bank settlers — now some 500,000 — and retroactively legalized settler outposts built on private Palestinian land. The measures have entrenched Israel's occupation, now in its 56th year since Israel captured the territory during the 1967 Mideast war. Palestinians see successive Israeli governments as seeking to solidify a bleak status quo in the West Bank: Palestinian enclaves divided by growing Israeli settlements and surrounded by Israeli forces. Hamas and Fatah, the Palestinian party that controls the West Bank, have remained bitterly divided for 15 years.

EXPLAINER: Who won Israel's latest election?

For the fifth time in four years, Israelis went to the polls, and once again, no clear victor immediately emerged.

Israel's Netanyahu appears to hold lead in election

But the polls showed a small Arab party close to crossing the threshold required to enter parliament – a development that could erase his slim majority. Arabs make up some 20% of Israel's population and have been a key factor in blocking Netanyahu in recent elections. Netanyahu was Israel’s longest-serving prime minister, governing for 12 consecutive years – and 15 years altogether – before he was ousted last year by a diverse coalition led by the centrist Yair Lapid. The pair have also said they will seek legal reforms aimed at weakening the independence of the judiciary and giving parliament power to override court decisions they don’t like. He said Netanyahu, if asked to form the next government, might try to seek other potential coalition partners instead.

The polls are preliminary, however, and final results could change as votes are tallied in the coming hours. The polls by three major Israeli TV stations indicated that Netanyahu and his allies would capture the 61-seat majority in parliament required to form a new government. Again, the vote centers around former prime minister Benjamin Netanyahu's fitness to lead while he faces corruption charges. And while polls predict another stalemate, Netanyahu is looking to the surging power of far-right lawmaker Itamar Ben-Gvir to propel him back to power. Netanyahu was ousted last year after 12 years in power by the diverse coalition forged by Lapid, Netanyahu’s main challenger.

Netanyahu was ousted last year after 12 years in power by the diverse coalition forged by Lapid, Netanyahu’s main challenger. Their turnout is predicted to reach historic lows, but if they unexpectedly do come out to vote, that could slash the Netanyahu camp's numbers. “We must vote," said Jiwad Abu Sharekh, 66, a Palestinian citizen of Israel from the mixed Arab-Jewish city of Lod.

The foremost issue once again was former Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu and his fitness to serve amid corruption charges.

Israelis vote for parties, not individual candidates. To become prime minister, Netanyahu, Lapid or some other politician will have to cobble together a coalition controlling a 61-seat majority in the 120-seat Knesset, or parliament. The lengthy impasse has mired Israel in an unprecedented political crisis that has eroded Israelis’ faith in their leaders and democratic institutions.

Lebanon delivers signed sea border deal to U.S. mediator

BEIRUT — (AP) — Lebanon signed and delivered its copy of a U.S.-mediated sea border deal with Israel on Thursday to a U.S. mediator, hoping to soon start exploring gas in its southern maritime blocs to bring economic stability to the crisis-ridden country. Lebanon and Israel both claim around 860 square kilometers (330 square miles) of the Mediterranean Sea that are home to offshore gas fields. Israel hopes that the deal will reduce the risk of war with Lebanon’s Iran-backed militant group Hezbollah. Israel and Lebanon will then deliver their finalized coordinates to the U.N. before Hochstein meets with Israeli Prime Minister Yair Lapid. President Aoun earlier this month in a televised address announced Lebanon's approval of the sea border deal.

Russia's Iranian drones complicate Israel's balancing act

JERUSALEM — (AP) — The Iranian-made drones that Russia sent slamming into central Kyiv this week have complicated Israel's balancing act between Russia and the West. The debate burst into the open on Monday, as an Israeli Cabinet minister called on the government to take Ukraine’s side. The Iranian government has denied providing Moscow with the drones, but American officials say it has been doing so since August. “There is no longer any doubt where Israel should stand in this bloody conflict,” Nachman Shai, Israel’s minister of diaspora affairs, wrote on Twitter. “I think Israel can help even more,” said Amos Yadlin, a former chief of Israeli military intelligence.

Although Israel has sent humanitarian aid to Ukraine, it has refused Kyiv's frequent requests to send air defense systems and other military equipment and refrained from enforcing strict economic sanctions on Russia and the many Russian-Jewish oligarchs who have second homes in Israel.

Israel says 'historic' sea border deal struck with Lebanon

JERUSALEM — (AP) — Israel’s prime minister said Tuesday that the country has reached an “historic agreement” with neighboring Lebanon over their shared maritime border after months of U.S.-brokered negotiations. At stake are rights over exploiting undersea natural gas reserves in areas of the eastern Mediterranean that the two countries — which do not have diplomatic relations — claim. Premier Yair Lapid called the deal an “historic achievement that will strengthen Israel’s security, inject billions into Israel’s economy, and ensure the stability of our northern border.”The agreement is expected to enable additional natural gas production in the Mediterranean. Lebanon hopes gas exploration will help lift its country out of its spiraling economic crisis. Lebanon and Israel have been officially at war since Israel’s creation in 1948 and both countries claim some 860 square kilometers (330 square miles) of the Mediterranean Sea.

The Palestinians claim east Jerusalem for the capital of a future state with the West Bank and Gaza Strip.

EU, Israel hold high-level talks for first time in a decade

BRUSSELS — (AP) — The European Union and Israel on Monday held high-level talks for the first time in a decade, with the Europeans keen to press Israeli Prime Minister Yair Lapid on how to put a two-state solution to the conflict with the Palestinians into place. We want the resumption of a political process that can lead to a two-state solution and a comprehensive regional peace,” Borrell said. Israel’s military occupation of the West Bank is now in its 55th year. The last real peace talks ended in 2009, and critics say growing Israeli settlements in the West Bank and elsewhere undermine any hopes for a two-state solution. The Palestinians seek all of the West Bank along with Israeli-annexed east Jerusalem and the Gaza Strip, controlled by the Palestinian militant group Hamas, for a future state.
