Channel 13's Lucy Aharish came under fire for criticizing coalition lawmakers who allegedly ridiculed families bereaved by crime in Israel's Arab communities, leading to vile remarks including accusations of 'acting like a mainstream Jew' and comparing her to a pet dog

Charges against right-wing activists accused of attacking hostage protestors were downgraded after a judge cited evidentiary difficulties. The Kedem family, who lost six relatives on October 7, say they were never informed: 'Criminals get backing from a criminal government – and these are the results'

The released hostage's attorney said she is considering appealing against the decision, saying, 'not only did the police fail in their duty to determine what happened, but they also leaked her name, thereby breaking the law and severely violating her privacy'
