Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu, staunchly resisting the leftists who have attacked his government’s plan to reform the country’s judiciary and bring it more into line with the judicial system in America, issued a special statement announcing he would not cave to the opposition.
Leftists have staged a “Day of Disruption” and protests all over the country for weeks over the proposed reforms, which aim to accomplish five things, as Gabriel Groisman has <a href="https://www.dailywire.com/news/israel-is-reforming-its-judiciary-its-not-perfect-its-democracy" target="_blank" rel="noopener">noted</a>:
<blockquote>
(1) Changing the process of selecting judges, so as to give the governing coalition of the Knesset a majority in the judicial selection committee; (2) Prohibiting the Supreme Court from making decisions based “on reasonability” rather than on laws passed by the Knesset; (3) Changing legal opinions of general counsels of government departments, appointed by the attorney general, from binding to advisory; (4) Raising the standard for the Supreme Court to strike down a law passed by the Knesset to 11 out of the 15 judges; and (5) Providing the Knesset the capacity to override a decision by the Supreme Court that strikes down a law passed by the Knesset with a majority of the Knesset members. 
</blockquote>
“Immediately after the election results, I said that I intend to be the prime minister of all the citizens of Israel,” Netanyahu <a href="https://13tv.co.il/item/news/politics/politics/binyamin-netanyahu-903473632/" target="_blank" rel="noopener">began</a>. “I meant it then, and I mean it even today. We have one country and we must do everything to protect it from outside threats and from an irreparable rupture.”
“We cannot allow any dispute, no matter how acute, to endanger the common future,” added Netanyahu, &#8220;we must reject violence and bullying, and condemn incitement and ranting. The opponents of the reform are not traitors, and the supporters of the reform are not fascists. The overwhelming majority of Israeli citizens across the political spectrum love our country and want to preserve our democracy. But since there are those who appropriate democracy for themselves, I want to say a few words tonight about democracy.”
“True, we have differences of opinion,” he acknowledged. “Supporters of the reform think that there is no real democracy here, and what endangers democracy is an all-powerful Supreme Court, which enters into every issue, and which in practice is the one that runs the country. On the other hand, the opponents of the reform think that what would endanger the democracy is a Knesset and a government that will act without brakes and restraints that would harm the rights of the individual. A proper democratic regime must address these two issues.”
“Supporters of the reform are outraged that the balance between the authorities in Israel has been violated over the past decades,” he stated. “The court unjustifiably interfered with security considerations in the fight against terrorism; it raised difficulties time and time again with the government&#8217;s policy. For example, it prevented the removal of infiltrators from Israel and you know what that did to the residents of the south Tel Aviv and many other places in Israel. it interfered in the gas layout, and for years it delayed the extraction of the gas from the water, which came at a heavy financial cost.”
“Without authority, the court overruled laws, prevented appointments and intervened in areas it did not have,” Netanyahu contended. “And there is one more claim — perhaps the most painful. Many agree that the Supreme Court is a closed club for appointing judges using the friend-bring-friend method. Judges have a veto; the system exists. They appoint themselves, which does not happen in any other democracy in the world.&#8221;
“I believe it is possible to pass a reform that will provide a response to both sides, a reform that will restore the proper balance between the authorities, and on the other hand, preserve and protect the individual rights of every citizen in the country. Because we did not come to run over and trample;  we came to balance and correct,” he said. “We will responsibly advance the democratic reform that will restore the proper balance between the authorities. &#8230; The best way to achieve the balanced reform and prevent the rift in the people is through litigation and achieving as broad an agreement as possible. Unfortunately, until now the opposition representatives refused to enter this discussion. They wasted almost three months because of this refusal. I hope that will change in the coming days.”
“We do not want a controlled court. We want a balanced court, and a balanced court will be a court of the people and such a court will also gain the trust of the people. This is not the end of democracy: it is the strengthening of democracy. In every democracy, including the U.S., the elected officials are the ones who appoint judges. New Zealand is not a democracy? Canada is not a democracy?” he asked.
“I want to answer a major concern raised by the other side,” he said. “I know there is a fear of an unlimited sweeping ruling that would result in any small majority in the Knesset being able to invalidate any decision of the court. So I want to tell you clearly — this will not happen. On the contrary: we intend, I mean, to enshrine the rights of the individual in the law. We will guarantee the basic rights of all citizens. Jews and non-Jews, women, religious, seculars, beneficiaries — all without exception. Every legislation will be committed. I will personally ensure that there is detailed legislation on this issue.”
“I met tonight with a series of ministers, including the Minister of Defense, I heard his concerns about the consequences of the situation on our national security, I take everything into account. And in the same breath I must say again that there is no room for refusal. Refusal endangers our national security, and the security The individual of each of us. There is no justification for reluctance. I tell you, my friends, I will do everything, but everything, to calm the spirits and unite the rift in the nation. People, we are brothers and with God&#8217;s help together we will do and together we will succeed,” he concluded.

Israel officials signaled to the Biden administration and several European countries on Wednesday that the nation&#8217;s military forces could strike against Iran if it enriches uranium levels above 60%.
According to a senior Israeli official who spoke to <a href="https://www.axios.com/2023/03/22/israel-iran-enriching-uranium-above-60-israeli-strike" target="_blank" rel="noopener">Axios</a>, defense forces have been preparing for a possible military attack against Iran to prevent Tehran&#8217;s growing nuclear program from expanding after Iran amassed 87.5 kilograms of 60% enriched uranium. If that level reaches 90% of weapon-grade uranium, investigators of an International Atomic Energy Agency <a href="https://isis-online.org/uploads/iaea-reports/documents/Analysis_of_Feb_2023_IAEA_Iran_Verification_Report_March_3_2023_Final.pdf" target="_blank" rel="noopener">report</a> warn Iran could use the radioactive metal used as fuel to create at least one nuclear bomb, which they call a &#8220;clear Western political redline.&#8221;
The report further noted that Iran can now break out and produce enough weapon-grade enriched uranium for a nuclear weapon in 12 days, using only three advanced centrifuge cascades and half of its existing stock of 60 percent enriched uranium.
Israeli officials, however, do not want to set the 90% enrichment level as a &#8220;red line&#8221; to prevent Iranian forces from amassing uranium just short of weapons-grade.
&#8220;The Iranians totally internalized our position, and they know what our [red] line is,&#8221; a second Israeli official recently told reporters.
Israel officials denounced the amount of enriched uranium as meaningful to Axios, noting Tehran did not amass the material at that level. However, the atomic energy agency continues investigating Iran&#8217;s underground Fordo nuclear site.
The remarks from Israel come less than 24 hours after a retired Israeli military general said the window to prevent an Israeli strike against Iran&#8217;s nuclear program is closing quickly.
Retired Brigadier General Amir Avivi <a href="https://www.dailywire.com/news/israel-could-strike-iran-in-months-unless-u-s-steps-in-former-israeli-general-says" target="_blank" rel="noopener">says</a> that the United States&#8217; retreat from the Middle East, which has allowed China and Russia to move in, quickly limits Israel&#8217;s options for avoiding conflict. Israel&#8217;s timeframe for launching a strike against Iran has shortened to potentially as little as a few months.
An Israeli strike against Iran &#8220;is bad for everybody, but this is at the moment what&#8217;s going to happen, and maybe happen in three months, in six months, maybe a year,&#8221; Avivi told <a href="https://freebeacon.com/national-security/israel-could-strike-iran-in-three-months-retired-israeli-general-says/" target="_blank" rel="noopener">The Washington Free Beacon</a>.
Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu voiced concerns over Iran&#8217;s progress toward becoming a nuclear power at a national security conference in February.
&#8220;The only thing that has credibly stopped rogue nations from developing nuclear weapons is a credible military threat or a credible military action,&#8221; Netanyahu said. &#8220;You can couple that with crippling economic sanctions, but that&#8217;s not a sufficient condition.
&#8220;A necessary condition, and an often sufficient condition, is credible military action,&#8221; he continued. &#8220;The longer you wait, the harder that becomes. We&#8217;ve waited very long.&#8221;
With the possible military strike against Iran, Axios reported two Israeli officials said Netanyahu and Defense Minister Yoav Gallant asked U.S. Secretary of State Lloyd Austin during his recent visit to Israel to fast-track the delivery of the four KC-46 tankers, which Israel purchased from the U.S. last year.

According to the officials, Israel has requested access to the tanks by the end of 2024.
Austin told Netanyahu and Gallant that the U.S. would attempt to deploy planes over to Israel but could face challenges due to the needs of the U.S. military, the officials told Axios.

Fed Hikes
The Federal Reserve <a href="https://www.dailywire.com/news/federal-reserve-hikes-target-interest-rates-by-quarter-point-as-officials-balance-fighting-inflation-and-protecting-banks" target="_blank" rel="noopener">raised interest rates</a> by a quarter point on Wednesday as officials tried to balance two conflicting problems — the risk that inflation could remain high, and the threat that higher borrowing costs could fuel more turmoil in the banking system. The move pushed interest rates to a range of 4.75 to 5 percent while forecasting one more rate increase in 2023.
No Trump Indictment
The Manhattan Grand Jury charged with determining whether to indict former President Trump over alleged illegal hush-money payments was told not to convene on Wednesday — delaying a possible arrest of Trump. One source close to the matter claimed that a vote will likely not happen this week, even if the jury reconvenes on Thursday.
Russia-China Lovefest
Chinese leader Xi Jinping put on a show of solidarity with Russian President <a href="https://www.dailywire.com/topic/vladimir-putin" target="_blank" rel="noopener">Vladimir Putin</a> with his three-day state visit to Moscow that began on Monday.
The Kremlin said on Tuesday that Xi spent his time in Russia’s capital negotiating and signing statements with Putin that <a href="http://en.kremlin.ru/events/president/news/70748" target="_blank" rel="noopener">seek to strengthen economic cooperation</a> between their nations over the next decade — ties which offer Putin a lifeline after Western nations levied sanctions against Russia for its war in Ukraine.
&#8220;It looks like the West indeed intends to fight Russia until the last Ukrainian,&#8221; Putin also said. &#8220;Russia will respond accordingly.&#8221;
Xi and Putin also signed a statement urging “the international community to support constructive efforts” toward “<a href="https://www.politico.eu/article/xi-jinping-vladimir-putin-back-peace-talks-ukraine-war-blame-nato-no-offer-withdraw-china-russia/" target="_blank" rel="noopener">responsible dialogue</a>.” Meanwhile, Putin announced Wednesday that Russia now supports the use of the Chinese yuan to conduct transactions between Asia, Africa, and Latin America — a move that could weaken the strength of the U.S. dollar.

Israeli Military General Says Israeli Strike Against Iran &#8220;Would Be Bad For Everbody&#8221;
Likewise, also caused in part due to Russia’s war, a retired Israeli military general says that the window to prevent an Israeli strike against <a href="https://www.dailywire.com/topic/iran" target="_blank" rel="noopener">Iran</a>’s growing nuclear program is closing quickly. Daily Wire reporter Tim Pearce joined Afternoon Update with more:
<blockquote>Retired Brigadier General Amir Avivi said this week that the United States’ retreat from the Middle East is limiting Israel’s chances to avoid conflict. Avivi said a strike against Iran, which could come within three months to a year, is “bad for everybody.” 
Meanwhile, China and Russia have grown their influence in the Middle East, and it’s that influence that has propelled the region toward conflict. China has helped the Iranian regime build influence in the region, while Russia may provide Iran’s military with powerful defense systems to protect its nuclear program. The Russian tech in particular is what concerns Israeli leaders because it would make Iranian infrastructure that much harder to take out.</blockquote>
Baby Formula Shortage Investigation
The House Oversight and Accountability Committee is setting its sights on the Biden administration’s mishandling of the <a href="https://www.dailywire.com/topic/baby-formula-shortage" target="_blank" rel="noopener">baby formula shortage</a> of 2022. Daily Wire’s Tim Meads reported on Afternoon Update:
<blockquote>&#8220;Several weeks out, we&#8217;ll have a surplus of formula,&#8221; FDA Commissioner Dr. Robert Califf said months ago, adding, “When I say several, I can&#8217;t say exactly how many weeks until then we have to fill it.”
That was FDA Commissioner Dr. Robert Califf saying months ago he was optimistic about the nationwide baby formula shortage coming to an end. This week, Oversight Committee Chairman Representative <a href="https://www.dailywire.com/topic/james-comer" target="_blank" rel="noopener">James Comer</a> (R-KY), and Subcommittee on Health Care and Financial Services Chairwoman Lisa McClain (R-MI) sent a <a href="https://oversight.house.gov/wp-content/uploads/2023/03/Letter-to-FDA-re-Restructure-and-baby-formula-118th.pdf" target="_blank" rel="noopener">letter</a> to the FDA Commissioner requesting documents related to the government’s response to the formula shortage.

The window to prevent an Israeli strike against <a href="https://www.dailywire.com/topic/iran" target="_blank" rel="noopener">Iran</a>’s growing nuclear program is closing quickly, a retired Israeli military general says.
Retired Brigadier General Amir Avivi says that the United States’ retreat from the Middle East, which has allowed <a href="https://www.dailywire.com/topic/china" target="_blank" rel="noopener">China</a> and <a href="https://www.dailywire.com/topic/russia" target="_blank" rel="noopener">Russia</a> to move in, is quickly limiting Israel’s options for avoiding conflict. Israel’s timeframe for launching a strike against Iran has shortened to potentially as little as a few months.
An Israeli strike against Iran “is bad for everybody, but this is at the moment what’s going to happen, and maybe happen in three months, in six months, maybe a year,” Avivi told <a href="https://freebeacon.com/national-security/israel-could-strike-iran-in-three-months-retired-israeli-general-says/" target="_blank" rel="noopener">The Washington Free Beacon</a>. Avivi spent three decades in the Israel Defense Forces before becoming the chairman of an Israeli national security think tank, the Israel Defense and Security Forum.
Iran and Russia have deepened ties since the outbreak of the Russia-Ukraine war last year. Iran has reportedly <a href="https://www.dailywire.com/news/iran-ups-weapons-shipments-to-russia-with-millions-of-rounds-of-ammo-report" target="_blank" rel="noopener">provided</a> Russia with ammo and drones to fuel its war machine while pressuring Moscow to <a href="https://www.jpost.com/middle-east/article-733214" target="_blank" rel="noopener">supply</a> Tehran with S-400 missile systems. The anti-air missile system would bolster Iran’s defensive capabilities and make delivering a strike against sensitive or high-priority targets more difficult for Israel.
“At the moment, the U.S. is sitting on the fence, not deciding to lead and build a coalition that will stabilize [the region] and challenge” the Iran-Russia alliance, Avivi said.
“We managed for many years to prevent the Russians from giving the Iranians many capabilities, mainly air defense,” Avivi said. “But now the Russians are so dependent on Iran that they’re willing to assist Iran further. Israel needs to take into account that it’s not only about this red line, but our ability to act.”
Former President Donald Trump had begun to build such a coalition around the Abraham Accords and checking Iran. Progress faltered after President Joe Biden entered office on more confrontational footing with Saudi Arabia, a key U.S. ally in the region, over its human rights record.
Earlier this month, Saudi Arabia and Iran <a href="https://www.cnbc.com/2023/03/10/arch-rivals-iran-and-saudi-arabia-agree-to-revive-ties-reopen-embassies.html" target="_blank" rel="noopener">struck</a> a peace agreement and agreed to resume diplomatic relations. The agreement was mediated by China, which has extended its influence in the Middle East along with Russia as the U.S. has drawn back.
“We were very concerned that the consequences of the U.S. not being proactive in the Middle East would push the Saudis into the China-Russian axis,” Avivi said. “However, this is not irreversible. The U.S. must make it clear that they will be very active in the Middle East—enough to gain the confidence of allies that they will not abandon them.”
Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu voiced concerns over the progress that Iran has made toward becoming a nuclear power at a national security conference in February. Iran has enriched uranium up to 84%. Weapons-grade uranium is 90%.
“The only thing that has credibly stopped rogue nations from developing nuclear weapons is a credible military threat or a credible military action,” Netanyahu <a href="https://www.jpost.com/middle-east/article-732319" target="_blank" rel="noopener">said</a>.
“You can couple that with crippling economic sanctions, but that&#8217;s not a sufficient condition. A necessary condition, and an often sufficient condition, is credible military action,” he continued. “The longer you wait, the harder that becomes. We&#8217;ve waited very long.”

The Palestinian Authority is rewarding terrorists who have targeted Jews in Israel with the construction of a luxury village.
The Arab Fund for Development in Africa and the Islamic Development Bank are also funding the project, which will feature 100 homes built near Ofra in the biblical area of Samaria, an area considered part of Area B, meaning that the Palestinian Authority (PA) has civilian control but the Israel Defense Forces maintain security. In order to be eligible to live in the luxury area, the terrorists must have spent at least five years in an Israeli prison.

Palestinian terrorist attacks on Jews and others in Jerusalem have proliferated since the installation of Israel’s new tough, Right-wing government. On January 27, seven Jews, including a 14-year-old boy, were murdered by a Palestinian terrorist after they left Shabbat services at a synagogue. Among the dead were Natali and Eli Mizrahi, who were newly married. Natali was reportedly doing CPR on one of the victims when she was shot to death.
On February 10, three Jews were murdered, including two brothers ages six and eight, by a man who rammed them with his vehicle at a bus stop.  According to police, a 31-year-old Palestinian attacked the crowd while driving a blue Mazda near the Tomb of Samuel at about 1:30 p.m., killing Alter Shlomo Laderman, Yaakov Israel Palley, and Asher Menachem Pelley. Yaakov died on Friday from the attack, his brother died on Saturday.
“During Shabbat, the 8-year-old Asher Menachem Pally, who was critically wounded in the Ramot attack, passed away,” the Shaare Zedek medical center <a href="https://www.ynetnews.com/article/r1h7trbpj?utm_source=ground.news&amp;utm_medium=referral" target="_blank" rel="noopener">said</a>. “The boy arrived in critical condition on CPR and many teams from the trauma unit, from the ER, the pediatric intensive care, pediatric surgery, and neurosurgery fought for his life for many hours, but sadly they had to pronounce him dead.”

A Palestinian school for girls that is funded by the U.S. Agency for International Development (USAID) glorified a Palestinian terrorist who murdered seven Jews in Jerusalem on International Holocaust Remembrance Day.
Khairy Alqam, 21, shot and killed Asher Natan, 14, Ilya Sosansky, 26, Natali Ziskin Mizrahi, 45, Eli Mizrahi, 48, Rafael Ben Eliyahu, 56, Irina Korolyova, 60, and Shaul Chai, 68, while wounding five other people outside of the Ateret Avraham Synagogue on the eve of the Sabbath on January 27.
The Omariya Secondary School for Girls in Qalqilya honored Khairyi, with a female speaker <a href="https://palwatch.org/page/32885" target="_blank" rel="noopener">reciting</a>, “ &#8230; the Jews will taste its bitterness &#8230; you made a covenant with our vendettas. And in the name of Allah, people like you preserve the covenant.”
“The Omariya School is indicative of everything that is wrong with how U.S. taxpayer money is abused in the Palestinian Authority’s educational sector,” Impact-se CEO Marcus Sheff told <a href="https://www.algemeiner.com/2023/02/21/us-funded-palestinian-school-celebrated-terror-attack-on-jewish-worshipers-leaving-synagogue/" target="_blank" rel="noopener">The Algemeiner</a>. “A school is more than bricks and mortar: it is where lessons are learned and values imparted. USAID built the school but it cannot be indifferent to the lessons of hate and values of antisemitism taught within its gates.”
USAID funded the school $1.2 million to build the school, which celebrated the release of Karim Younes in December. He was convicted of kidnapping and murdering an IDF soldier in 1983.
Last October, USAID <a href="https://www.usaid.gov/west-bank-and-gaza/press-releases/oct-03-2022-usaid-annual-spending-support-palestinians-and-peacebuilding-tops-150-million" target="_blank" rel="noopener">acknowledged</a> it had invested $150 million in the past year in the Palestinian community, adding, “Under the Biden-Harris administration, pending Congressional approval, USAID plans to program at least $500 million between 2021-2024 in total support to the Palestinian people.”
USAID exists as an independent federal government agency that obtains its policy guidance from the U.S. Secretary of State.
Samantha Power serves as the current administrator of USAID. In December 2016 she defended Barack Obama’s decision to abstain when the UN voted on the infamous Resolution 2334,  which falsely claimed that Israel&#8217;s sovereignty over the eastern part of Jerusalem and Jewish communities in Judea and Samaria were illegal under international law, and that the Old City of Jerusalem, along with the Temple Mount, the holiest site for the Jewish people, were “occupied Palestinian territory.”
“One would think that it would be a routine vote for the U.S. to allow the passage of a resolution with the elements in this one,” Power said, “reaffirming the long-standing U.S. position on settlements, condemning violence and incitement, and calling for the parties to start taking constructive steps to reverse current trends on the ground.”

Israel’s democratically elected legislature, the Knesset, is in the midst of voting on a series of laws that would scale back the power of the unelected judiciary and place more power in the elected body. Tens of thousands of Israelis along with Israel’s usual detractors are up in arms, calling this &#8220;tyranny&#8221; and the “end of democracy.”
To start, those who continue to push the “end of democracy” narrative are objectively counterfactual, counterproductive, and over-reactionary. When a democratically elected body makes efforts to wrangle back power from those appointed by a committee controlled by the Bar Association and the judiciary itself, it is, in fact, putting more “power” into the hands of the “people.” In simple terms, making the political system more “democratic.”
Democratic governments around the world take many different forms, from constitutional republics, like the United States, to parliamentary systems, like the United Kingdom, and many variations there between. Israel is just shy of 75 years young, and is still in the nascent stages of forming what its democracy will look like. For instance, while its founders set out to form a constitution, none has yet been put in place. The entire process the democratically-elected government is going through is at the very core of democracy.
While it’s hard to see it through the hysterics, Israel’s proposed judicial reforms are, in fact, imperfect in their current state. However, this is the case when most laws are initially proposed. This is why there is a process, in most (or all) democracies in the world, Israel included, that allows for debate, input, discussion, and ultimately amendments. Those opposing the judicial reforms would be better served by pushing for constructive dialogue rather than destructive protests. Calls for the Knesset to change direction simply because of the nightly protests should fall on deaf ears, as a well-functioning government should never cave to what would essentially be mob rule.
Taking a quick step back, the proposed judicial reforms aim to accomplish five things: (1) Changing the process of selecting judges, so as to give the governing coalition of the Knesset a majority in the judicial selection committee; (2) Prohibiting the Supreme Court from making decisions based “on reasonability” rather than on laws passed by the Knesset; (3) Changing legal opinions of general counsels of government departments, appointed by the attorney general, from binding to advisory; (4) Raising the standard for the Supreme Court to strike down a law passed by the Knesset to 11 out of the 15 judges; and (5) Providing the Knesset the capacity to override a decision by the Supreme Court that strikes down a law passed by the Knesset with a majority of the Knesset members. Of course, the proposals are more nuanced than the above-outlined, but these are the general strokes of the proposals.
That judicial reforms are needed is the broad consensus view. The self-elected judiciary has become hyper-political, if not hostile, to the government, to the ultra-Orthodox, and to the conservative majority. The Supreme Court has also unilaterally expanded its own power by granting itself powers of judicial review and making key decisions based on its subjective interpretation of “reasonability,” and general, undefined concepts of dignity and liberty. The impact of the Supreme Court’s rulings is even more far reaching, given that the Israeli Supreme Court is a Court of first instance, in that almost anyone can file claims directly with the Court on a host of issues. At bottom, an unelected branch of government has run amok and the Knesset is looking to rein it in through these reforms.
The only truly controversial or delicate provision in the proposed reforms, in my opinion, is the “override clause.” The fact that the Knesset is seeking to include an override clause is not a problem per se. Given the past relationship between the branches, and the importance given by the elected body to ensuring that those elected by the people have final say on critical issues, the ability to override the Court’s decision makes sense. Israel would not be alone in implementing an express “override clause.” Canada, a country which no one would seriously charge as “non-democratic,” has a similar law, which permits the Parliament to pass a law “notwithstanding” their Court’s having found that law to be unconstitutional.
Still, for purposes of political stability, which is critical for the social and economic well-being of any nation, the issues which should qualify for override should be very limited and an override should only pass with a supermajority of the Knesset. These limitations would all but guarantee that the override would only be used sparingly and could not be abused by any party to satisfy the political whims of the day.
Finally, the governing coalition should learn from the mistakes of the Democrat-controlled U.S. Senate in 2013, when they removed the 60-vote filibuster for the president&#8217;s nominees, requiring only a simple majority instead. This was a shrewd move in the short term to get President Obama’s nominees seated, but when control of the Senate shifted back to the Republicans, Democrats quickly regretted that the Republicans could pass through the president&#8217;s nominees without the support of a single Democrat.
In Israel today, it is hard to see when and how the political Left could return to power. But, politics lives on a pendulum, and when (not if) political control inevitably shifts in Israel, those in control of the Knesset today will regret having a law in place which requires only a simple majority to override the Supreme Court.
At the end, the Likud party and its coalition partners should not make any decisions based on the hysterical protests and threats of its detractors. Still, the government shouldn’t rush through the reforms without robust and honest debate about its impact. Particular care should be taken to limit the override clause so as to protect the integrity of the Supreme Court while providing the supermajority of the Knesset the ability to have final say on critical issues that go to the heart of the Jewish and Democratic State of Israel.

Protests Continue Over Proposed Judicial Overhaul In Israel

Israel Is Reforming Its Judiciary. It’s Not Perfect, It’s Democracy.

Middle East

A daily paper associated with the terrorist group Hamas, which rules over Gaza, published an article celebrating the murders of Jews in Israel with brutal language.
The March 12, 2023, edition of the Felesteen daily, featured an article titled &#8220;Deliverers of Joy – About the Younger Generation in the West Bank.&#8221; The article was also published on the website of Hamas&#8217;s military wing, &#8216;Izz Al-Din Al-Qassam Brigades, as MEMRI, which translated the article, <a href="https://www.memri.org/reports/hamas-daily-outsider-cannot-understand-intensity-palestinians-joy-news-terror-attack-against" target="_blank" rel="noopener">reported</a>.
The author spoke of a murderous attack conceived by Yahya &#8216;Ayyash and attacks like it, writing, “It&#8217;s not the courageous operation that is perpetrated in the heart of the enemy&#8217;s fictitious capital, but something much greater than that. It is proof that our Palestinian people is still brimming with life and that it is standing on the ladder of glory, as long as it can tear the roof off a bus, can stab a soldier, and can continue to run over a settler [with a car] and to fire point blank at a hostile vehicle in the street.”
The Islamic Fatwa Council, comprised of Shiite, Sunni and Sufi clerics that is headquartered Iraq, recently <a href="//0274C633-1C34-4419-90B8-264F495E6734/v" target="_blank" rel="noopener">declared</a> a fatwa against Hamas, declaring that its treatment of Palestinians in Gaza was inhumane.
“Only a Palestinian can imagine the force of the happiness that these courageous acts evoke in our heart,” the author continued. “They cause adrenalin to spike to the highest levels, and increase the people&#8217;s belief in itself and in its ability to change the equation,” he continued. “The people go out into the public squares and the streets, cheer for Palestine, express their joy and delight at the operation, pass out sweets, embrace one another, and, at top volume, the mosques&#8217; public address systems broadcast the cries Allahu Akbar, and la ilaha illa Allah, with joy, with praise, with gratitude to Allah for this achievement.&#8221;
“Peace to every lion who took the opportunity to pounce on its prey; peace to all who try to acquire a blade, an axe, a butcher knife, a pistol, an M16 [rifle], or an old Carlo [rifle],” the author cheered.
The 1998 Hamas covenant <a href="https://avalon.law.yale.edu/20th_century/hamas.asp" target="_blank" rel="noopener">stated,</a> “There is no solution for the Palestinian question except through Jihad. Initiatives, proposals and international conferences are all a waste of time and vain endeavors.&#8221;

Article In Hamas Paper Celebrates Murderous Attacks On Jews

Murder

President Joe Biden told a room full of rich Democrat donors that ailing former President Jimmy Carter had asked him to deliver his eulogy.
Biden, who was first elected to the Senate career in 1972, four years before Carter was elected to the presidency, made the boast at a fundraiser in Rancho Santa Fe, California. Carter, who at 98 is 18 years older than Biden, entered hospice care last month.
“He asked me to do his eulogy,” Biden said, before adding, “Excuse me, I shouldn’t say that,” according to a pool report.
“I spent time with Jimmy Carter, and it’s finally caught up with him,&#8221; Biden <a href="https://www.cnn.com/2023/03/14/politics/jimmy-carter-eulogy-biden/index.html" target="_blank" rel="noopener">continued</a>. “But they found a way to keep him going for a lot longer than they anticipated, because they found a breakthrough.”
Carter announced in August 2015 that he had brain cancer. Ironically, despite Carter’s well-documented animus toward the state of Israel that led him to <a href="https://www.nationalreview.com/2002/10/carterpalooza-jay-nordlinger-2/" target="_blank" rel="noopener">write speeches</a> for Yasser Arafat, it was an Israeli-tested drug called Keytruda that <a href="//721AC273-A7FF-4330-99CC-E020902A221E/v" target="_blank" rel="noopener">helped</a> Carter battle life-threatening tumors. By December 2015, Carter revealed doctors found no evidence of the four lesions discovered on his brain.
In September 2019, having lived longer than any other president, Carter, just before his 95th birthday, commented on the two leading prospective Democratic candidates for president, saying of the presidency, “I hope there’s an age limit. If I were just 80 years old, if I was 15 years younger, I don’t believe I could undertake the duties I experienced when I was president.”
Carter was answering questions during his annual report at the Carter Center in Atlanta, according to the <a href="https://apnews.com/868124c2ad2b410bbcac74418d77468d" target="_blank" rel="noopener">Associated Press</a>, which noted at the time that Biden and primary opponent Bernie Sanders would turn 80 during their terms if elected.
Carter’s comment came after someone asked if he had thought of running in 2020. He added that the presidency requires a president “to be very flexible with your mind,” adding, “You have to be able to go from one subject to another and concentrate on each one adequately and then put them together in a comprehensive way.”
Although he is still revered by many Democrats, Carter&#8217;s presidency is generally viewed as one of the greatest failures in the history of the American presidency. He oversaw a botched attempt to rescue 52 hostages held for 444 days by Iran; pulled U.S. missiles out of South Korea without consulting the Pentagon; signed the Panama Canal Treaty, thus giving up control by the year 2000; implemented price controls, and presided over an economy that by 1980 featured interest rates at a staggering 21%, inflation at 13.5%, and unemployment at 7%.

The suspected murderers of Elan Ganeles, the American citizen who was recently buried in Ra’anana after <a href="https://www.dailywire.com/news/american-killed-in-west-bank-terror-attack" target="_blank" rel="noopener">an attack by Arab terrorists</a> in the northern Dead Sea area, have just been arrested. The murderers of the Yaniv brothers, Hallel and Yagel, shot at point-blank range in Huwara last week, have yet to be apprehended. But one thing is certain: when they are identified, all of them and their families will receive lifelong murder stipends from the Palestinian Authority (PA). 
It is impossible to rationalize the ethical and moral bankruptcy of any “culture” that actually promotes, justifies, glorifies, and rewards the murder of innocents, but we were trained as lawyers, so we will simply talk about the law. The PA and its supporters, as well as supporters of other terrorist organizations, literally invite terrorists through financial incentives to kill Americans and Israelis. We seek criminal and civil remedies for their victims and we believe that in many cases the families of these victims are not without possible redress against those who enable and solicit the crimes. 
While the cold-blooded murders of the recent victims shock the conscience and rend the heart, these crimes were not committed in a vacuum: There are other identifiable perpetrators, who encouraged, solicited, enabled, promoted, and engendered those awful unlawful acts, promising payment for their commission. They are legally, not just morally, culpable for the premeditated murder of American citizens; they should be subject to criminal penalties, and their assets should justly be available as damages.
Some basic definitions are in order. Under U.S. law, one is liable as an accomplice to the crime of another if he or she gave assistance or encouragement … with the intent thereby to promote or facilitate the commission of a crime … Or if they solicit, command, encourage, or request another person to commit the crime. A person who aids, abets, or encourages another to commit a crime need not even be present at the scene to be culpable as an accomplice. One may be guilty of solicitation if he requests or induces another person to commit a crime. A wide range of defendants can be held jointly and severally liable for damages, including, among others, those who knowingly assisted in causing injury and those who incite or aid another to cause injury.
And now some facts:  
The Palestinian Authority makes payments to prisoners convicted of attacks against civilians and to the surviving families of suicide bombers and other deceased terrorists. Over $300,000,000 annually, comprising 7-10% of the annual PA budget, is allocated to terrorists or their families. For example, the family of the murderer of Ari Fuld (an Israel-American hero who was knifed in the back four years ago and managed to incapacitate his own attacker as he died before others could be harmed) received an initial payment within hours of the crime, and were then made eligible to receive a monthly payment of 1,400 shekels. Under PA law, perpetrators of even deadlier attacks would be eligible for even larger sums.
The Palestinian payments to prisoners and surviving families of terrorists are not secret: They have been publicly defended by Palestinian political leaders and even acknowledged by the terrorists as a primary inducement to the commission of their heinous crimes. In 2018, The Washington Post <a href="https://www.washingtonpost.com/news/fact-checker/wp/2018/03/14/does-the-palestinian-authority-pay-350-million-a-year-to-terrorists-and-their-families/" target="_blank" rel="noopener">reported</a> the explanation of a would-be terrorist, to the effect that “The important thing is that I will die and they will kill me, so that my children will receive a [PA] allowance and live happily.”   
Murdering an American citizen is a crime. So is inducing a third party to murder an American citizen, by publicizing, and subsequently paying, a monetary reward for commission of that murder. In almost all cases, an additional civil action and remedy will be available and appropriate for the intentional or negligent infliction of physical and emotional damages. And, thinking out of the box, there may even be a class of plaintiffs whose “shared circumstance” is that the perpetrators of the crimes or torts against them were paid by the PA.
Both the U.S. government (through the Taylor Force Act) and the Israeli government (through legislation to withhold funds equivalent to the terrorist-related payments) have tried to stop the pay-for-slay program. But the PA has made it clear that no economic sanction will affect the payment regime, with President Mahmoud Abbas <a href="https://www.timesofisrael.com/abbas-vows-to-continue-stipends-to-terrorists-even-with-pas-last-penny/" target="_blank" rel="noopener">saying</a> that they would continue to pay those stipends with their very last penny. The Biden Administration maintains that its restoration of hundreds of millions of dollars in aid to the PA does not technically violate the Taylor Force Act, notwithstanding the continued payments to terrorists and the fungibility of money.
There is no question as to the criminal and civil liability of people who made it known to the public that they would pay a bounty of $10,000 to anyone who murders a member of a particular religion in a specific place, thus both encouraging and rewarding the murder. It would be no defense if they later argued, as did Nabil Shaath, the foreign affairs adviser to President Abbas, speaking in his official capacity, that “payments to support the perpetrators or their families are a social responsibility.” (Note that the World Bank has determined that the payments are not based on need and are disproportionate to other welfare type payments.)
In 1990, Congress enacted the Antiterrorism Act (ATA), creating a new federal right of action for any U.S. national “injured in his or her person, property, or business by reason of an act of international terrorism,” defined to include “violent acts or acts dangerous to life” occurring overseas that violate U.S. criminal laws (or would violate such laws if committed in the United States), and performed to intimidate or coerce populations or public policy. Plaintiffs are permitted to pursue relief in a U.S. district court and, if liability is established, to collect treble damages, plus attorneys’ fees. 
Of course, the PA would try and claim that they were outside the jurisdiction of U.S. courts because of foreign sovereign immunity — but the Foreign Sovereign Immunities Act provides a series of exemptions, including an exception added in 1996 that withholds immunity from state sponsors of terrorism in cases alleging their responsibility for the death or personal injury of U.S. citizens. President Biden’s questionable restoration of Palestinian aid, the conditioning of which, under the ATA, subjects the PA to personal jurisdiction in the U.S., should at the very least be used to overcome that obstacle, which stymied Plaintiffs in recent cases like Sokolow v. the Palestinian Liberation Organization. Moreover, NGOs providing support to the PA would lack even that putative defense. 
There are also other laws that could come into play like the Racketeer Influenced and Corrupt Organizations Act (RICO), which makes it unlawful to engage in a pattern of racketeering activity in association with an enterprise. RICO has criminal and civil application, and has been interpreted to include extraterritorial activity, so long as the enterprise has a nexus to the United States. Of course, the PA conducts numerous activities here, including commercial activity raising money, which should satisfy the nexus requirement.
For some reason, the U.S. government has been slow to enforce its laws and hesitant to punish those who have killed innocent American citizens. Take Ahlam Tamimi, the female mastermind of the 2001 Sbarro pizzeria bombing in Jerusalem, who gleefully admitted to murdering innocent men, women, and children, including American citizen Malki Roth. This assassin still lives freely in Jordan despite the U.S. having an extradition treaty with the Kingdom. To date, she has received thousands of dollars in murder stipends from the PA.
Enough is enough. Palestinian terrorists have killed 147 American citizens since 1968, and not one has ever been brought to the United States to stand trial. Senior members of the PA do, however, visit the United States on a regular basis. If the federal government won’t act then states and the private sector should. Where are the bold state attorneys-general who will seek justice for their injured citizens? Where is the plaintiffs’ bar that brought Big Tobacco to its knees?
There have been some sporadic efforts to bring individual tortfeasors to justice, and some damages have been awarded to surviving family members, but this is insufficient. What is required is a multi-state and multi-jurisdictional consortium of attorneys-general, public interest organizations that seek justice for victims, and plaintiffs’ lawyers, dedicated to discovering and pursuing every individual and organization that provides material support to the entities that encourage, incite, and reward violence. Let them spend the money they pay murderers to defend their actions in court. And let us demand that they be financially liable for damages, despite the fact that no compensation will ever restore the losses they have caused.

The State Department confirmed a terrorist attack killed an American in the West Bank on Monday.
Gunmen driving around a highway and firing at cars shot the victim, identified as a U.S.-Israeli dual citizen who was roughly 25 years old, according to <a href="https://www.jpost.com/breaking-news/article-732858" target="_blank" rel="noopener">The Jerusalem Post</a>.
The man, whose name has not been released as of press time, was transported to a hospital and pronounced dead after paramedics failed to resuscitate him.
&#8220;Sadly, I can confirm that a U.S. citizen was killed in one of the terror attacks in the West Bank tonight. I pray for his family,&#8221; U.S. Ambassador to Israel Tom Nides said in a tweet.

American Killed In West Bank Terror Attack

A security operation launched by Israeli National Security Minister Itamar Ben-Gvir earlier this week seized weapons from Palestinians in Jerusalem, including toy pistols modified to use live ammunition.
11 toy pistols modified to use live ammunition were taken, according to <a href="https://www.israelnationalnews.com/news/367826" target="_blank" rel="noopener">Israel National News</a>.
“Our governance in the eastern part of the city should be clear to everyone,” Ben-Gvir said. “I thank the security forces and the police who operate in the area all the time. We need to significantly increase our activity and our war on terrorism, and I am working non-stop to see this carried out. To do this we must significantly increase the police budget and the police&#8217;s operational abilities and add more police officers to restore our governance.&#8221;

Additionally, they were taught to celebrate Palestinians who murdered Jews.
Palestinian terrorist attacks on Jews and others in Jerusalem have proliferated since the installation of Israel’s new tough, right-wing government. On January 27, seven Jews, including a 14-year-old boy, were murdered by a Palestinian terrorist after they left Shabbat services at a synagogue. Among the dead were Natali and Eli Mizrahi, who were newly married; Natali was reportedly doing CPR on one of the victims when she was shot to death.
On February 10, three Jews were murdered, including two brothers ages six and eight, by a Palestinian who rammed them with his vehicle at a bus stop. The 31-year-old suspect attacked the crowd while driving a blue Mazda near the Tomb of Samuel (Nebi Samuel National Park) at about 1:30 p.m., killing the young man, <a href="https://www.jpost.com/breaking-news/article-731208" target="_blank" rel="noopener">identified</a> as Alter Shlomo Laderman, and two brothers, identified as Yaakov Israel Palley, 6, and Asher Menachem Pellay, 8. Yaakov died on Friday from the attack, his brother died on Saturday.
“During Shabbat, the 8-year-old Asher Menachem Pally, who was critically wounded in the Ramot attack, passed away,” Shaare Zedek medical center <a href="https://www.ynetnews.com/article/r1h7trbpj?utm_source=ground.news&amp;utm_medium=referral" target="_blank" rel="noopener">said</a>. “The boy arrived in critical condition on CPR and many teams from the trauma unit, from the ER, the pediatric intensive care, pediatric surgery and neurosurgery fought for his life for many hours, but sadly they had to pronounce him dead.”
