Israel’s Supreme Court affirmed the illegality of political interference in police investigations, despite Ben-Gvir’s efforts to do so. This is a victory for @acri_online, who petitioned against this law, and a victory for safeguarding democratic norms.

If I was the leader of the Israeli left, I would translate this speech to Hebrew and run it on all the mainstream media in this country. There are partners for peace across the Middle East. The time is now for them and us to turn these words into actions.
DPM & FM @AymanHsafadi in a joint press statement held by the Arab Islamic ministerial committee, yesterday:
- We are members of the Muslim Arab Committee, mandated by 57 Arab and Muslim countries, and I can tell you unequivocally that all of us are willing, right now, to guarantee the security of Israel in the context of Israel ending the occupation and allowing for the emergence of a Palestinian state.
- Ask any Israeli official what is their plan for peace, you'll get nothing.
- We have a plan, we have no partner for peace in Israel there is a partner for peace in the Arab world and that's why the international community needs to move.
