The Terrorist Photoshoot of the Day

The two Palestinian terror heads meeting in Algiers: Ismail Haniya of Hamas second from right, and Mahmoud Abbas of the PLO 4th from right in the center.

What was the occasion? The 60th anniversary of the Algerian revolution. All sides pledged to rid “Palestine” of the “Zionist occupiers”.    

The News on the Israeli Street 

Palestinian terror in the last 24 hours . . .  

Palestinian terrorists engaged in a firefight with IDF troops at Jabaa this morning. One terrorist was killed.

Palestinian terrorists opened fire on an IDF group stationed at the entrance checkpoint to Chomesh. The soldiers returned fire, but the terrorists escaped. 

Palestinian terrorists hurling “rocks”, Molotovs, and IEDs attacked Israelis at such places as Shukba, Einbus Square, Silwan, and on the Jerusalem-Gush Etzion Road. 

The daily Corona update . . .

News on the economic front . . .

The dollar:

The dollar is at its highest exchange rate with the shekel in recent memory. On the currency exchange market this morning, 1$ = 3.5197 shekels.

Wages rise for some . . . sort of:

The average salary for one of the 400,000 Israeli workers in a public job (such as government and health workers) has risen 1.2% from last year to 16,600 shekels ($4,721) per month. Meanwhile the median salary for other workers is 10,750 shekels ($3,056) per month. This information comes from the office of the Minister of Wages and Employment Agreements.

One company with booming business:

In the last two weeks alone, Elbit Systems which specializes in defense systems, has racked up nearly 1 billion dollars in new contracts. They include:

—a $70 million contract to provide electronic warfare technologies

–a $548 million contract to provide multidimensional network combat capabilities

–a $220 million contract to provide precision aerial-guided armament solution

–an $80 million contract to provide laser-based defense systems

For example the last contract on the list for $80 million is to provide DIRCM infrared-based laser defense system as well as aerial electronic warfare (LA) systems for a country in the Asia-Pacific region as well as a MUSICTM system with infrared IR-PAWS based passive aerial alert systems for several aircraft types.

Yawn . . . The Netanyahu Trial Moves To Case 1000

Now that the prosecution has completely bumbled Case 4000 against former PM Netanyahu, it has moved on to Case 1000 (aka the cigars and champagne case).

State witness number two (after the utter failure of State Witness one in Case 4000), is Hadar Klein who was a personal assistant to billionaires Arnon Milchan and James Packer. 

Her testimony yesterday told us absolutely nothing that we did not already know. To sum up, Bibi likes expensive Cuban cigars and Sarah likes expensive French champagne—and Milchan and Packer who greatly admired Bibi were only too happy to supply them.

From the outset of the trials last year, your humble servant predicted that no matter what the evidence showed, the Court would find Netanyahu innocent of all charges in Cases 4000 and 2000, but that he will be found guilty of “breach of trust” in Case 1000–a vague nebulous charge which will cover the cigars and champagne.

He has to be found guilty of something to justify the hundreds of thousands of shekels that the police spent in their crusade to bring Netanyahu down.
