There was something wrong with the air here the day President Obama hosted Mahmoud Abbas and Benjamin Netanyahu at the White House. There was a bottom-heavy grip to the heat, the air almost too thick to breathe, as though it had to be forced down, like medicine. In other places, this freight in the weather is the kind that announces a monsoon, or an earthquake.  

Some 400 people demonstrated on Tuesday against the deportation of 400 foreign workers' kids following reports that the procedure will commence directly after the holiday period. The protestors carried signs reading, "Deport Eli Yishai" and "Each one is like family to me." Israel's former ambassador to the UN, Dan Gillerman, attended the protest and told Ynet that the deportation could cause enormous damage to Israel .  

Interior Minister Eli Yishai on Tuesday sent a letter to Attorney General Yehuda Weinstein, demanding that he launch an investigation against head of the Kibbutz Movement's task force Yoel Marshak, who proposed hiding foreign workers' kids who are slated for deportation following a recent government decision. "We cannot keep silent in light of these words of incitement and those who stand behind them," wrote the Shas chairman. In his letter, Yishai expressed "vehement protest" over Marshak's public ca  

During a hearing before Israel's Supreme Court on a petition to integrate core subjects in Hareidi schools, Supreme Court President Dorit Beinisch forbade Interior Minister Eli Yishai to speak, and demanded that he present his argument in writing.

A foreign citizen who was to be deported along with her 11-month-old child, in accordance with an Interior Ministry order, will be able to stay in Israel after all. Interior Minister Eli Yishai has announced that he will not approve his ministry's decision to deport Evelyn Belseng and her Israeli child just because her husband died before she could complete her naturalization process. Belseng received the good news on Monday, about two weeks after her story was reported in Haaretz and a day after she  

The truth is that this is a huge embarrassment. It is simply not nice living in a country which imposes irrational behavior on its citizens just because of a few capricious Haredi politicians. On a website that includes details of the daylight saving time in countries around the world, it is listed next to each country the date on which the summer clock goes into effect, and the date it ends.

The sun is shining, it's more than thirty degrees outside, a friend's off to the beach to go surfing. But summer is about to come to a premature end in the state of Israel. It is insanity.  

Responding to a recent media furor over the early implementation of standard time in Israel this year, Interior Minister Eli Yishai said he was willing to consider re-implementing summer time after the Yom Kippur fast. Israelis are set to push their clocks one hour back on Thursday, September 16, six weeks before most of the U.S. and Europe. Yishai said that the issue was not one of "religious versus secular," as many in the media are attempting to portray it.
