19:58โขShin Bet Jewish Department Chief Caught On Tape Admitting Illegal Arrests
โจThe newspapers report on the upcoming Netanyahu-Trump meeting in Washington, with several sources highlighting the reasons and topics for discussion. Key issues include hostage negotiations, the 17% tariffs on Israeli exports, relations with Turkey, the Iranian nuclear threat, and ICC arrest warrants (13tv, Israel Hayom, Mako, n12). A scandal has erupted after the head of Shin Bet's Jewish Department was recorded referring to West Bank Jewish suspects as "shmuks" and admitting to arresting them without evidence, prompting calls for dismissal from government officials and settler leaders (INN, Kikar, Kipa, Srugim). Meanwhile, hostage families continue protests, with released hostage Liri Albag sharing details of captivity and threats from captors (Haaretz, Maariv, Ynet).
