Brig. Gen. Shay Tayeb, a senior official in the IDF’s Personnel Directorate, presented data on measures against army deserters and draft dodgers at a meeting of the Knesset’s IDF Manpower Committee on Wednesday. “In the first nine months of the war,, we did not carry out enforcement operations against deserters,” he said, adding that the 340 deserters arrested at Ben Gurion Airport were from all sectors, not just the Chareidi sector. Committee chairman Elazar Stern (Yesh Atid) asked: “What tools do you need to obtain thousands of new recruits? There are arrests and travel bans and driver’s license bans—the tools you aren’t using.” Tayeb replied: “These tools and the sanctions you mentioned are not enforceable.

Activists from the Tzav 9 and The Reservists movements held a protest at the Kerem Shalom crossing on Wednesday morning, blocking access to humanitarian aid trucks on their way to Gaza. The protest took place a day after 93 trucks of aid entered the Strip on Tuesday, following Prime Minister Binyamin Netanyahu’s decision earlier this week to resume aid to the Strip. Reut Ben Chaim, the chairwoman of Tzav 9, said: “The passage of aid trucks to Hamas is an indescribable injustice, and we cannot stand idly by while this harm to our hostages continues.

Attorney General Gali Baharav-Miara has decided that the babies of bnei yeshivos who are required to enlist will be pushed to the end of the line for acceptance into supervised daycare centers, and as a result, there is a high probability that they will not be accepted, Kan News reported on Tuesday evening. According to her decision, the “law requires” that the children of bnei yeshivos be placed at the end of the line for these daycare centers, where the number of places is very limited, because their fathers are “lawbreakers.” Baharav-Miara previously revoked daycare subsidies for children of bnei yeshivos.

President Donald Trump is reportedly growing increasingly impatient with the prolonged conflict in Gaza, viewing it as the final barrier to unlocking economic growth and regional stability in the Middle East. A report on Tuesday, citing White House sources and published by Axios, said Trump wants Israeli leadership to bring the war to a close.
In recent days, the report says Trump has urged Israel to allow humanitarian assistance into Gaza after a complete halt in aid deliveries that began in early March. The push for aid access comes amid Trump’s rising concerns over the human toll of the war.

The Justice Department has opened a criminal investigation into former New York Gov. Andrew Cuomo after congressional Republicans recommended that he be charged with lying over his handling of the COVID-19 pandemic, a person familiar with the matter said Tuesday. The investigation by the U.S. attorney’s office in Washington follows a referral from Rep. James Comer, Republican chairman of the House Committee on Oversight and Government Reform, over statements Cuomo made to lawmakers investigating his management of the pandemic when the virus was spreading through nursing homes, the person said. They spoke on the condition of anonymity because they were not authorized to publicly discuss an ongoing investigation.

When it came to protecting her husband, a blind man can see that Doctor Jill Biden serially violated the Hippocratic Oath’s pledge to “first do no harm.” And some are now floating the idea of filing criminal charges against her for elder abuse.
And yes, I realize that Jill Biden is not a doctor-doctor. By any definition, though, she’s one heartless doctor.
Leo Terrell, a senior Department of Justice official, is someone suggesting our former first lady could face criminal charges for elder abuse.

Democrat Sam Sutton has emerged victorious in a closely watched special election for a seat in the New York state Senate, successfully holding off a Republican push to capture the traditionally right-leaning district, according to projections by Decision Desk HQ.
