Netanyahu: We will establish a stable government for a full term

Which MKs will serve in which roles in the new coalition? Final coalition agreement details begin to emerge.

The Likud and United Torah Judaism (UTJ) signed their final coalition agreement on Wednesday morning. The remaining coalition partners, Shas, the Religious Zionist Party, Noam and Otzma Yehudit announced shortly after that they too had all signed a final agreement.

Following the signing of the last deal, Likud chair and Prime Minister-designate Benjamin Netanyahu addressed his party, saying: I would like to thank you all for your extensive joint efforts that brought us to this day. We have achieved our goal. A huge percentage of the State of Israel, over two million Israelis, voted for the national camp led by us.

"We will establish a stable government for a full term of all citizens of Israel."

Neanyahu also announced the unanimous decision to appoint Likud MK Amir Ohana to the role of Knesset speaker, and Ofir Katz to the role of Coalition whip.

The Knesset speaker is considered the country's "number three citizen" after the president and prime minister, and serves as the stand-in president when the sitting president is off duty. The speaker also controls the pace of legislation in the Knesset and can widely influence which bills will pass into law and which won't.

UTJ's two factions, Lithuanian Degel Hatorah and the Hasidic Agudat Yisrael, signed the same document – ending a crisis that developed last Wednesday night when Degel Hatorah chairman MK Moshe Gafni refused to sign the agreement at the last minute.

Gafni's change of heart was reported to be because he received a directive not to back down from a demand for Degel Hatorah to have its own rabbinic council on "kosher" cellphones, which would be slightly more lenient than the current council.

Degel Hatorah and the Hasidic Agudat Yisrael reportedly decided to postpone the issue until after the law to cancel outgoing Communications Minister Yoaz Hendel's kosher cellphone reform passes its first reading in the Knesset plenum.

The reform's goal was to bar the rabbinic council from controlling which cellphone numbers would belong solely to "kosher" cellphones, thus blocking the council's ability to monitor who does and who does not use a kosher phone.

What positions will UTJ MKs receive in the new coalition?

UTJ leader MK Yitzhak Goldknopf (Agudat Yisrael) will receive the position of housing minister, and his no. 2 MK Moshe Gafni (Degel HaTorah) will head the Finance Committee. Further down the list, MK Uri Maklev will receive the position of deputy minister of Haredi development and MK Meir Porush will head the Jerusalem and Heritage Ministry.

MK Yaakov Asher will head the Interior Committee and MK Yisrael Eichler will serve as the head of the Labor and Welfare Committee. 

Finally, MK Yitzhak Pindrus will serve as head of the Public Inquiry committee and MK Yaakov Tessler will serve as a deputy minister, most likely in the Welfare Ministry.

The Likud announced on Wednesday morning that for the first time in years, there were no "coalition funds" included in the agreements. These are funds that are earmarked for parties to use for their own purposes.

Shas publishes list of positions to be held by party

Shas published a list of positions that their MKs will hold in the new coalition, starting with Shas leader MK Arye Deri who will serve as Interior Minister and Health Minister, before switching to serve as Finance Minister after two years.

Following him is MK Ya’acov Margi who will hold the position of Welfare Minister in a rotation agreement with Yoav Ben-Tzur who will take over the role after two years.

Until he takes over from Margi, Ben-Tzur will serve as a deputy minister within the Welfare Ministry.

MK Michael Malkieli will serve as a minister within the Religious Services Ministry and MK Haim Biton will serve as a minister in the Education Ministry. MK Moshe Arbel will hold the positions of deputy health minister and deputy interior minister.

MK Yinon Azoulay will serve as Shas party chairman in the Knesset and as a member of the Finance Committee and after two years, he will take over as Chairman of the Knesset Committee.

MK Moshe Abutbul will take on the role of Agriculture Minister and Uriel Busso will serve on the Health Committee and deputy chairman on the Knesset Committee.

Finally, MK Yosed Taieb will serve as the chairman of the Education Committee.

Religious Zionist party win coveted positions

The Religious Zionist Party received several coveted spots in the new coalition, including the position of Finance Minister which will be filled by party leader MK Bezalel Smotrich for the first two years of the government's term.

After two years, Smotrich will rotate with Deri, receiving instead the roles of Health Minister and Interior Minister.

MK Orit Struck will serve in the newly-created role of National Missions Minister, and MK Simcha Rothman will serve as chairman of the Constitution and Religion Committees. 

MK Michal Waldiger will serve as deputy finance minister with a focus on welfare and health. Additionally, MK Ohad Tal will serve as chairman of the National Infrastructure Projects and Reforms Committee.

Finally, MK Moshe Solomon will be a deputy Knesset Speaker, a member of the Foreign Affairs and Defense Committee and a member of the Finance

They Want To Strip Rudy Giuliani Of His Law License

(FreedomBeacon.com)- Last week, the District of Columbia Bar Association’s disciplinary counsel recommended that Rudy Giuliani be disbarred after the panel tentatively determined that he likely violated at least one professional conduct rule in his efforts to overturn Pennsylvania’s 2020 presidential election results.

The disciplinary panel said because its determination was preliminary and nonbinding, it declined to specify which rule Giuliani most likely violated.

Hamilton Fox Disciplinary Counsel for the DC Bar argued that the former NYC mayor attempted to undermine the legitimacy of the 2020 election, accusing Giuliani of weaponizing his license “to bring a frivolous action in an attempt to undermine the Constitution.”

Fox said any lawyer that would engage in misconduct to harm the country as Giuliani did “has at least got to realize that his or her law license is at risk.”

Giuliani expressed outrage toward the panel for permitting Fox to make a “personal attack” against him. Giuliani defended his efforts contesting the 2020 election results and maintained that he had reason to believe they were rigged.

Giuliani’s attorney John Leventhal argued for only a minor disciplinary measure like a letter of reprimand or a private admonition. He argued that the panel relied heavily on politics when making their case against his client. He said choosing a harsh penalty would “chill effective advocacy in the future.”

The panel is expected to issue a final report with its recommendations to the DC Bar’s Board of Professional Responsibility which will then decide whether to accept the recommendations after both parties submit additional briefs.

The Washington DC Court of Appeals will make the final decision on any disciplinary action taken against Giuliani.

Last year a New York appeals court suspended Giuliani’s license to practice law in the state for making “demonstrably false and misleading” statements about the 2020 presidential election while serving as Donald Trump’s attorney.

Giuliani’s Washington law license was suspended after the New York decision.

Israel’s New Government Isn’t What You’ve Heard

By Bezalel Smotrich

Israel is a Jewish and democratic state and will remain so. After five elections in less than five years and suffering the rule of a weak and fractious coalition dependent on a radical Islamist party’s backing for a year and a half, the country has finally formed a popular and stable government. Our bloc will strengthen Israel in the face of radical Islam and its terror proxies, open the country up economically, and usher in growth and prosperity for the benefit of all citizens.

As finance minister, I will pursue a broad free-market policy. This includes removing the government price controls and import restrictions that have limited competition and kept consumer prices high, as well as regulatory reforms and a loosening of bureaucratic control over small businesses. Inspired by U.S. right-to-work laws, we will pursue similar measures to reduce union control in Israel’s labor force.

On matters of religion and state, the new government will never seek to impose anything on a citizen that goes against his or her beliefs. We wish only to increase the freedom of religious people to participate in the public sphere in accordance with their faith, without coercion on secular people. For example, arranging for a minuscule number of sex-separated beaches, as we propose, scarcely limits the choices of the majority of Israelis who prefer mixed beaches. It simply offers an option to others. We also will work to guarantee that religious believers aren’t punished by the government for standing by their beliefs. This is no different from the rights the U.S. Supreme Court recently affirmed in its Masterpiece Cakeshop decision. Contrary to some American reporting, we seek to protect all citizens from coercion that would violate their conscience—nothing more.

My critics also mischaracterize the reforms I’ve proposed in my secondary role as a minister in the Defense Ministry with responsibility for certain civil issues in Judea and Samaria. Whatever one’s opinion on ending the Israeli-Arab conflict, the current situation in these regions, in which a feckless military government lacks the civil-service orientation required for governing civil life, is unsustainable. The army needs to deal with security and leave governing to a civil system capable of providing efficient service and protecting individual rights.

Our reforms are aimed at developing the area’s infrastructure, employment and economy for the benefit of all. This doesn’t entail changing the political or legal status of the area. If the Palestinian Authority decides to dedicate some of its time and energy to its citizens’ welfare rather than demonizing Jews and funding the murder of Israelis, it would find me a full partner in that endeavor.

Additionally, we seek to halt the execution of the Fayyad plan, a massive European Union-funded project to facilitate the Palestinian takeover of Area C, the one part of Judea and Samaria where Jews are currently permitted to live under the Oslo Accords. The authority is building housing, infrastructure and more in areas that are outside its jurisdiction to surround Jewish communities and other strategic locations in Area C in an attempt at de facto annexation. The EU contends its funding is purely humanitarian, but recent reporting has revealed this is not the case. This unrestrained usurpation poses mortal dangers to Israelis living there and risks significant damage to the natural environment and to historical sites. Among other measures, we will beef up enforcement of existing laws and agreements to stop this deliberate abuse.

Israel’s justice system also needs urgent reform to restore democratic balance, individual rights and public trust. In the U.S., elected politicians appoint federal judges, including Supreme Court justices, making the bench at least indirectly responsive to the people. In Israel, sitting Supreme Court justices have veto power over new appointments to the court.

Israel also lacks a written constitution, but in the 1990s the Supreme Court began striking down democratically enacted laws based on its own idea of what Israel’s constitution ought to be. This has created legal and economic uncertainty, precipitating a severe decline in the public’s trust in judicial and law-enforcement institutions. The Supreme Court ignores written law and, worse, invalidates government action even if it violates no law, but rather the court’s own notions of sound policy, or “reasonableness,” as it calls it. Moreover, the Israeli criminal-justice system also lacks basic procedural safeguards for defendants, such as the exclusionary rule, and there is no effective oversight on government prosecutors, who too often abuse their wide scope of authority.

Our emphasis on judicial reform is meant to bring Israel closer to the American political model with some limited checks to ensure the judicial system respects the law. We seek to appoint judges in Israel in a process similar to America’s; to define the attorney general’s scope of authority and relation to elected representatives in a manner similar to what’s set down in America; to develop effective oversight mechanisms for law enforcement to ensure they protect basic rights; and to restore the Knesset’s authority to define the fundamental values of the state and its emerging constitution.

All Americans should appreciate the wisdom and justice in these plans. They should shed their preconceptions and unite to support the resurgence of accountable government, prosperity, individual rights, and democracy in the Jewish homeland.

Mr. Smotrich is head of Israel’s Religious Zionist Party and the incoming finance minister.

In a statement released by the RAA, rabbis bashed progressive rabbis for speaking out against the new government led by Netanyahu.

Two American Orthodox Jewish organizations published a statement expressing support for the incoming Benjamin Netanyahu-led government and criticized progressive rabbis for speaking out against it.

“The Orthodox Jewish Chamber of Commerce joined by The Rabbinical Alliance of America (RAA. In Hebrew, Igud HaRabbonim), condemns the hateful comments promulgated by fringe Jewish groups against the work of the new government of the State of Israel,” said the statement, signed by J. Morton Davis, chairman of the Orthodox Chamber of Commerce, Duvi Honig, founder & CEO Orthodox Jewish Chamber of Commerce and Rabbi Mendy Mirecznik, executive vice president of the RAA.

“With antisemitism surging across the world and peril on the rise to Jews everywhere, it is nothing short of shocking that a group of people who identify themselves to the world as Jewish leaders can move to inspire even more hate and anti-Israel sentiment,” they said of the progressive rabbinic letter of more than 330 American rabbis, who have pledged to block members of the Religious Zionist bloc in Netanyahu’s new government from speaking at their synagogues and said they will lobby to keep them from speaking in their communities.

“We are pained that a group of 330 people who style themselves as rabbis from the Reform, Conservative and Reconstructionist movements, some of whom occupy prominent roles in major cities, pledged a boycott of elements of the incoming government of Israel. The plans to block members of the government from ‘speak[ing] at our congregations and organizations… and participating in other for a across our communities,’ will further the goals of our enemies across the globe.”

The two organizations claim that “over 1,000 rabbis of the RAA and the Orthodox Jewish Chamber of Commerce call for American support of the Israeli government across the board.”

When asked by The Jerusalem Post for a list of these rabbis who have signed, a representative said that these two organizations have approximately 1,000 rabbis that are members. The rabbis themselves aren’t identified. 

“Merely three years following the befriending of Israel by Arab nations, through the signing of the landmark Abraham Accords, American Jewish clergy have shamefully become those to condemn the Jewish State, battling it for the hearts and minds of American Jewry,” Honig said in a statement. “It’s a disgrace to have clergy members, who are not recognized by the authentic Jewish Faith, pretend to represent the interest of the Jewish world. With friends like these, who needs enemies?”

What is the RAA?

The RAA is an American national rabbinic organization founded in 1942. According to their site, they have more than 900 members “across a broad spectrum of Orthodox Judaism,” who serve as “congregational leaders, religious teachers, chaplains, heads of Jewish organizations and communal leaders.” 

The Orthodox Jewish Chamber of Commerce is a “global umbrella of businesses of all sizes, along with leading professionals, elected officials and communal activists,” according to its website. “The Chamber empowers its members and the broader community to network with each other and harness this invaluable network to stimulate economic opportunity and positively affect the public policy of governments around the world.”

San Francisco Dying A city in a death spiral.

BY Michael Letts

POSTED BY Ruth King

You may have heard the phrase, “Get woke, go broke.” It has become a common phrase in the past few years, mainly because it keeps proving itself true.

San Francisco is a prime example of the death spiral going broke puts cities, businesses, and people into.

The city has long been a bastion of liberalism. When it became fashionable after the death of George Floyd to defund the police, the city jumped at the chance. The people elected a prosecutor who was willing to allow criminals to go free.

This led to police resigning and crime in the city skyrocketing. Not only did violent crime rise, so did public drug use and homeless encampments because no one would enforce those laws.

The citizens and some government officials suddenly realized that police were needed. Politicians tried to refund the department as citizens called for police to enforce the laws.

The problem was the city has slipped into the death spiral. Even as politicians tried to pull it back, the crime problem led to citizens and companies leaving the cities in droves. San Francisco now has some of the lowest office occupancy rates in the country, “thanks to the tech companies that make the city’s lifeblood retreating to remote work, San Francisco has seen residents move to the suburbs – pushed also by rising crime,” the Daily Mail reported.

This has reduced the tax base, which means there is less money available to fund cities programs and services.

To compensate, programs and services will need to be cut or taxes raised. Both of which will drive more people from the city, leaving behind those most in needs of programs and less likely to be contributing much to the city’s coffers through taxes.

San Francisco Mayor London Breed has let city departments know they need to reduce their costs by 5 percent next year and 8 percent in 2024 to help close the $728 million budget shortfall expected over the next two years.

As these citizens’ need increase, crime will continue to rise, driving more businesses out further reducing the tax base. Property tax revenues are expected to fall $261 million over the next two years.

See how this works? If you do, you are ahead of most liberal politicians.

So how do they get out of this spiral? The best way (which means it won’t be the way the politicians choose) is to cut unneeded personnel and services from the city budget and focus on getting crime down.

A leaner budget is easier to fund, and crime must come down if there is any hope of attracting citizens and businesses back.

“We know the challenges facing San Francisco are significant, and we have a lot of work ahead of us to maintain the city’s recovery efforts,” Breed said. “As we work to close this deficit, it will require tough choices and real tradeoffs.”

The city has a fine location, and people would be willing to return, but they are less willing to deal with woke nonsense. They can see it’s not working, even if governments and businesses can’t.

Michael A. Letts is the CEO and Founder of In-VestUSA, a national grassroots non-profit organization helping hundreds of communities provide thousands of bulletproof vests for their police forces through educational, public relations, sponsorship, and fundraising programs.

Supreme Court Hands Biden Admin Crushing Defeat, Keeps in Place Trump-Era Policy

By The Associated Press

The Supreme Court is keeping pandemic-era limits on immigration in place indefinitely. In a Tuesday ruling, the Supreme Court extended a temporary stay that Chief Justice John Roberts issued last week. Under the court’s order, the case will be argued in February and the stay will be maintained until the justices decide the case.

The limits were put in place under then-President Donald Trump at the beginning of the pandemic. Under the restrictions, officials have turned away most people who requested asylum at the border to prevent the spread of COVID-19. The restrictions are often referred to as Title 42.

Immigration advocates sued to end the use of Title 42, saying the policy hurts people fleeing to the U.S. to escape persecution. They’ve also argued that the policy is outdated as coronavirus treatments improve.

A federal judge sided with them in November and set a Dec. 21 deadline to end the policy. Conservative-leaning states appealed to the Supreme Court, warning that an increase in migration would take a toll on public services and cause an “unprecedented calamity” that the federal government had no plan to deal with.

Kamala Harris Got a Big Christmas ‘Gift’ from the State of Texas Delivered Right to Her Neighborhood.

Roberts, who handles emergency matters that come from federal courts in the nation’s capital, issued a stay to give the court time to more fully consider both sides’ arguments.

The federal government asked the Supreme Court to reject the states’ effort while also acknowledging that ending the restrictions abruptly would likely lead to “disruption and a temporary increase in unlawful border crossings.”

The Supreme Court’s decision comes as thousands of migrants have gathered on the Mexican side of the border.

The precise issue before the court is a complicated, largely procedural question of whether the states should be allowed to intervene in the lawsuit. A similar group of states won a lower court order in a different court district preventing the end of the restrictions after the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention announced in April that it was ending the use of the policy.

Until the judge’s November order in the advocates’ lawsuit, the states had not sought to take part in that case. But they say that the administration has essentially abandoned its defense of the Title 42 policy and they should be able to step in.

The administration has appealed the ruling, though it has not tried to keep Title 42 in place while the legal case plays out.
