How ultra-Orthodox parties became the biggest winners in Israel’s new government – The Times of Israel

| June 1, 2020

The new government sworn in on May 17 is a groundbreaking creation, innovative in structure and promising some dramatic new policies: an alternate prime minister, the largest-ever Israeli cabinet, so many deputy ministers that some parties ran out of parliamentary manpower to staff the new posts; and on the policy front, grappling with a historic economic and health crisis and a dramatic (if still lacking in detail) plan for annexation in the West Bank.

| June 1, 2020

World experts say Victoria University in Australias decision to remove genocide material from a human rights lecture is shocking and puts victims at psychological risk.
