As the coalition in Israel faced its most critical week—marked by a dramatic overnight vote and looming threats of government collapse and new elections—Prime Minister Binyamin Netanyahu and the chareidi parties are enjoying solid support, with the coalition bloc maintaining its strength, according to a new Channel 14 poll.
If elections were held today, Netanyahu’s Likud party would secure 33 Knesset seats, making it the largest party by far. Trailing behind is Avigdor Lieberman’s Yisrael Beiteinu with 17 seats, followed by Yair Golan’s Democrats with 15.

Many couples make the mistake of thinking that they have been talking to each other when they have really been talking at each-other. Each one goes into the discussion with a mission- convince my husband/wife that my way is the best way.

Republican lawmakers are preparing for a significant fiscal turning point that could arrive as President Trump’s term ends. While they are advocating for the permanent extension of the 2017 tax law, other provisions aimed at aiding everyday Americans are scheduled to expire in 2028.
“This is going to be front and center in the next presidential campaign,” said Rep. Andy Harris (R-Md.), who leads the House Freedom Caucus.
