Netanyahu's son Yair meets with US Vice President Vance
'Israel never had a better friend in the White House than the Trump administration!' Yair wrote on his X account.
Yair Netanyahu is the eldest son of Benjamin Netanyahu. He pursued studies in Theatre at the High School for the Arts in Jerusalem and later served in the 'Israeli' military Spokesperson's Unit.
He has been an active figure in 'Israeli' politics, notably assisting his father's 2015 election campaign by producing a viral video targeting Arab voter turnout, which drew both support and criticism.
In recent years, Yair has maintained a significant presence on social media, where his posts have sparked controversy. In 2018, he was temporarily banned from Facebook for hate speech, and in 2021, Twitter and Instagram also suspended his accounts following provocative content.
Despite his parents' requests to limit his online activity, Yair continued to post, leading to public disputes and legal challenges.

Chances of Gaza ceasefire, captive deal increasing, says 'Israeli' Chief of Staff
'Israeli' Chief of Staff Eyal Zamir said on Sunday that the likelihood of reaching a ceasefire in Gaza and a captive release agreement is increasing, amid ongoing indirect negotiations with Hamas. During a visit to troops in Gaza, Halevi said the army's battlefield achievements in 'Operation Gideon's Chariots' are pushing Hamas closer to defeat and creating conditions for a potential deal on captives. 'For months, indirect negotiations between 'Israel' and Hamas have been underway in Doha, seeking a 60-day ceasefire and the release of hostages. Mediators from Qatar, Egypt, and the US are involved,' he noted, adding that recent 'Israeli' media reports have hinted at progress, though no breakthrough appears imminent. Halevi also stated that the army is prepared for all scenarios. 'We will adopt new operational models to boost our strengths, reduce vulnerabilities, and deepen our gains in the field,' he said.

Palestinian Authority faces unprecedented financial, economic siege: Abbas
Palestinian President Mahmoud Abbas confirmed that the Palestinian National Authority is currently subjected to an unprecedented financial and economic siege due to the withholding of Palestinian tax revenues, which exceed two billion dollars, by the Israeli ×ccupation government. President Abbas called on the international community to intervene immediately to halt what he described as a "crime of starvation" and emphasized the urgent need to deliver food and medical aid to Gaza. He also stressed the importance of international action to stop the ongoing aggression against the Palestinian people in Gaza, to end settler terrorism, and to halt attacks on Christian and Islamic holy sites in the West Bank, including Jerusalem. Abbas added that the world has been urged to pressure the Israeli government to release the withheld funds and lift the siege imposed on the Palestinian people. He affirmed that the Palestinian Authority will not succumb to the systematic measures employed by the Israeli Occupation aimed at undermining the two-state solution and preventing the establishment of an independent Palestinian state.

Netanyahu's testimony canceled after food poisoning day before hearings
The Jerusalem District Court has canceled Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu's scheduled testimony in his ongoing corruption trial, citing his current bout of food poisoning. The hearings, originally set for Monday and Tuesday, will not be rescheduled this week and have been deferred until after the court's summer recess, which ends on September 5. Netanyahu's lawyer, Amit Hadad, submitted a request to delay this week's hearings after the prime minister fell ill Sunday night. While the State Attorney's Office agreed to postpone the sessions and proposed alternative dates for Wednesday and Thursday, the court cited scheduling conflicts and opted to cancel the hearings altogether. This marks yet another delay in Netanyahu's testimony, which began in December 2024. Previous postponements have been attributed to medical issues, the war in Gaza, operations against Iran, international trips, and his responsibilities as head of government. During the summer recess, 'Israeli' courts operate with limited activity, meaning Netanyahu will not return to the witness stand until at least September.
