Media and expression freedom does not mean offending religious beliefs or harming the dignity or feelings of any group and the feelings of its members, and this is a general rule that applies to everyone. What happened is condemnable and denounced, and all media outlets must adhere to media work standards and the controls of satirical comedy works through full respect for all components, and bear responsibility ethically and legally, and avoid any content that would mock people's understanding of their faith or religious identity. Media freedom is a right, and respecting people's beliefs is a more important responsibility

What happened to my parents is not an isolated case. Beyond my personal story and the memory of my parents, this fight is also about the dignity of all civilian victims.

The framework agreement remains an important factor in curbing a broader Israeli incursion, reducing the intensity of escalation and opening the way for withdrawal and reconstruction. The problem is not the transition from the October agreement to the framework agreement, but ensuring the implementation of the latter and preventing it from becoming merely a new management of the conflict.

We face a dangerous and extreme attempt to annul the elections. I have reviewed all the intelligence materials. The elections were fair. We must form a government. What happened in the past few days reminds us of the need to dismiss Netanyahu from the position of prime minister.
