We have stopped the money for the ultra-Orthodox parties and illegal funds approved overnight have been halted.

The claim states that funding to ultra-Orthodox parties has been halted following a late-night maneuver deemed illegal. While the Israeli Supreme Court has previously ruled to freeze certain subsidies to ultra-Orthodox seminaries, and there have been ongoing disputes over budget allocations to these groups, the most recent budget passed on March 30, 2026, included a $250 million allocation to ultra-Orthodox schools. This suggests that, despite legal challenges and opposition efforts, funding to ultra-Orthodox parties has not been entirely stopped. Therefore, the claim is somewhat misleading as it overstates the extent to which funding has been halted.

The government allocated 60 billion shekels for funding exemptions from military service and education systems that do not teach core subjects.

The claim that the Israeli government allocated 60 billion shekels to fund military service exemptions and education systems that do not teach core subjects lacks specific evidence. While the 2026 state budget includes a total of 662 billion shekels, with 94 billion shekels allocated to education, there is no clear breakdown indicating that 60 billion shekels are specifically designated for these purposes. Additionally, the Supreme Court ruled in June 2024 that ultra-Orthodox men are subject to compulsory military service, ending previous exemptions. Therefore, while some funds may support such programs, the exact figure of 60 billion shekels appears to be an overestimation without concrete evidence.

The government has stolen money from reservists and given it to those who evade military service.

The claim that the government has 'stolen money from reservists and given it to those who evade military service' is misleading. In reality, the Israeli government approved a 6.2 billion shekel aid package to support IDF reservists in 2026, including financial benefits and reduced service days. While there is public criticism over allocations to ultra-Orthodox schools amid military exemptions for ultra-Orthodox men, there is no evidence that funds were directly taken from reservists and given to individuals evading military service.

The opposition voted against all transfers to the ultra-Orthodox and against a corrupt transfer of 800 million shekels to exempt institutions.

The opposition, particularly the Yesh Atid party, actively opposed the transfer of funds to ultra-Orthodox institutions. They filed a petition with the Supreme Court to halt the transfer of over one billion shekels to these institutions, arguing the funds were allocated unlawfully. The Supreme Court issued an interim injunction freezing these transfers pending further hearings. This demonstrates the opposition's consistent stance against such financial allocations.

The coalition added hundreds of millions of shekels to the ultra-Orthodox parties beyond the budget framework.

The claim that the coalition added hundreds of millions of shekels to the ultra-Orthodox parties beyond the budget framework is accurate. During the late-night session on March 30, 2026, Israel's parliament passed the national budget, which included a late allocation of $250 million (approximately 900 million shekels) to ultra-Orthodox schools. This addition was made beyond the initial budget framework and drew significant criticism from the opposition.

The current budget being passed in the Knesset is entirely for corrupt individuals and those who evade responsibility at the expense of the public.

The claim asserts that the current budget being passed in the Knesset is entirely for corrupt individuals and those who evade responsibility at the expense of the public. While there have been debates and criticisms regarding the allocation of funds in the 2026 budget, including increased defense spending and cuts to other ministries, there is no concrete evidence to support the assertion that the entire budget is designed solely for corrupt individuals and evaders. Such a sweeping statement lacks substantiation and misrepresents the complexities of the budget allocations.

The Israeli defense and technology sectors are advanced in areas like aviation over Iran, high-tech, life-saving medicine, engineering, and missile development.

Israel's defense and technology sectors are indeed advanced in areas such as aviation, high-tech, life-saving medicine, engineering, and missile development. The Israeli Air Force operates modern fighter jets, including F-35I Adir stealth fighters, and maintains a multi-layered missile defense system comprising Iron Dome, David's Sling, and Arrow-2/3. Israel's high-tech sector continues to perform strongly, and its defense firms are thriving, securing billions in global contracts. In contrast, Iran's military relies on older aircraft models and has faced significant losses in its ballistic missile infrastructure and naval assets due to recent conflicts. While Iran possesses a large ballistic missile arsenal and has developed drone capabilities, its conventional forces are constrained by limited training and outdated technology. Therefore, the claim accurately reflects Israel's advancements over Iran in these sectors.

The current government is damaging Israel's international standing by preventing the Latin Patriarch of Jerusalem from attending a prayer at the Church of the Holy Sepulchre, leading to global Catholic outrage and statements of condemnation from world leaders.

On March 29, 2026, Israeli police prevented Cardinal Pierbattista Pizzaballa, the Latin Patriarch of Jerusalem, from entering the Church of the Holy Sepulchre to celebrate Palm Sunday Mass, citing security concerns amid the ongoing conflict with Iran. This unprecedented action led to significant international backlash, including condemnations from U.S. Ambassador Mike Huckabee, French President Emmanuel Macron, and Italian Prime Minister Giorgia Meloni, who viewed the restriction as a violation of religious freedom. The incident has indeed damaged Israel's international standing, as evidenced by the global Catholic outrage and statements of condemnation from world leaders.

Netanyahu promised demilitarization of Gaza within 60 days, which was given 252 days ago.

Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu stated in July 2025 that Israel was prepared to negotiate a permanent ceasefire in Gaza during a proposed 60-day truce, contingent upon the demilitarization of the territory. He emphasized that if demilitarization could not be achieved through negotiations within 60 days, Israel would resort to military force to accomplish this goal. As of March 2026, 252 days have passed since this statement, and Gaza has not been demilitarized, indicating that Netanyahu's promise has not been fulfilled within the specified timeframe.

The government could have purchased at least 125,000 bomb shelters with 5 billion shekels instead of giving the money to corrupt individuals and those avoiding responsibility.

The claim that the government could have purchased at least 125,000 bomb shelters with 5 billion shekels is based on an estimated cost of 25,000 to 40,000 shekels per shelter. This calculation is plausible, as small bomb shelters in Israel have been reported to cost between $45,000 and $70,000 USD, which aligns with the stated range when converted to shekels. However, the assertion that the government instead allocated these funds to "corrupt individuals and those avoiding responsibility" is a subjective opinion lacking concrete evidence. While it's true that the government approved approximately 5 billion shekels in coalition funds, with significant portions directed to ultra-Orthodox institutions and settlements, labeling these allocations as corrupt is a matter of interpretation. Therefore, while the numerical aspect of the claim is accurate, the framing introduces a subjective judgment, making the statement somewhat misleading.

The Likud party rejected my bill to recognize Qatar as an enemy state at the instruction of Netanyahu and Jonathan Orich.

The claim that the Likud party rejected a bill to recognize Qatar as an enemy state is accurate. However, attributing this rejection directly to instructions from Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu and his advisor Jonathan Urich lacks concrete evidence. While Urich has been implicated in the 'Qatargate' scandal involving alleged ties to Qatar, there is no definitive proof that Netanyahu and Urich specifically directed the Likud party to oppose the bill. Therefore, the claim is somewhat misleading due to the unsubstantiated attribution of motives.

The transfer of funds to ultra-Orthodox institutions was done in violation of the law.

The claim that the transfer of funds to ultra-Orthodox institutions was done in violation of the law is accurate. During a Supreme Court hearing, state representative Neta Oren admitted that approximately 90% of the funds were transferred unlawfully, acknowledging that such transfers occurred without the necessary legal approvals. Justice Yael Wilner criticized this practice, stating, 'This is not legal.' Additionally, the Supreme Court issued an interim order freezing the transfer of over one billion shekels to these institutions, pending further review, indicating judicial recognition of the illegality of the transfers.

The practice of transferring funds without the approval of the Finance Committee has been common for years, but only the Haredi parties have been caught.

The claim suggests that transferring funds without Finance Committee approval has been a longstanding practice, but only Haredi parties have been caught. Evidence indicates that such unauthorized transfers have occurred, particularly involving Haredi educational institutions. For instance, a state representative admitted that 90% of funds were transferred to Haredi educational networks illegally, without prior Finance Committee approval. However, there is no clear evidence that other parties have engaged in similar practices and have not been caught. Therefore, while the practice exists, the assertion that only Haredi parties have been caught lacks substantiation.

There is a long list of people who can be asked about the value of Netanyahu's commitments.

The claim suggests that many individuals can attest to the unreliability of Netanyahu's commitments. Historical evidence supports this assertion. For instance, in 1996, Netanyahu promised the ultra-Orthodox community not to cede West Bank land or allow a Palestinian state, yet later actions contradicted these promises. Similarly, in 2015, he reportedly assured Naftali Bennett the defense minister position in exchange for political support but did not fulfill this pledge. Additionally, in 2020, Netanyahu faced criticism from right-wing opponents for not delivering on settlement expansion promises. These instances indicate a pattern of unfulfilled commitments, validating the claim.

A law was introduced during the war despite a commitment not to bring unrelated laws.

During the ongoing war, the Israeli government had committed to focusing solely on war-related matters and not advancing unrelated legislation. However, reports indicate that the coalition continued to advance controversial, non-essential laws in the Knesset, drawing criticism from opposition lawmakers who accused the government of prioritizing divisive legislation over essential war matters. This action contradicts the earlier commitment to refrain from introducing unrelated laws during the war.

The ultra-Orthodox parties pressured Likud into legislation that gives rabbinical courts arbitration powers similar to those of a court.

The claim accurately reflects recent legislative developments in Israel. On March 24, 2026, the Knesset approved a law granting state rabbinical courts the authority to serve as arbitrators in civil disputes, provided both parties consent. This legislation was initiated by members of ultra-Orthodox parties, including United Torah Judaism and Shas, and passed with 65 votes in favor and 41 against. The law effectively restores powers to the rabbinical courts that were previously limited by a 2006 Supreme Court ruling. Critics, including opposition leader Yair Lapid, have expressed concerns that this move signifies a shift towards a 'halachic state,' indicating apprehension about increased religious influence in state affairs.

The Ministry of Finance transferred budgets without Knesset approval and hid this from committee members.

The Knesset's legal advisor, Sagit Afik, sent a letter to the Finance Ministry demanding a full breakdown of all funds transferred without the approval of the Knesset Finance Committee over the past five years. This action followed a High Court of Justice hearing on petitions challenging the government's transfer of more than NIS 1 billion in earmarked funds to haredi schools. These developments support the claim that the Ministry of Finance transferred budgets without Knesset approval and concealed this from committee members.

Two champions fought against the theft of billions from public funds to ultra-Orthodox parties in the Finance Committee until 2 AM.

The claim highlights two individuals' efforts in the Finance Committee to oppose significant fund allocations to ultra-Orthodox parties, suggesting these funds are a 'theft' from public money. While it's accurate that substantial funds have been allocated to ultra-Orthodox institutions—such as the Finance Committee's approval of approximately NIS 1.8 billion for religious education in December 2025 ([ynetnews.com](https://www.ynetnews.com/business/article/hkwt1bixbx?utm_source=openai))—the characterization of these allocations as 'theft' is subjective and lacks concrete evidence of illegality. Therefore, while the core fact of fund allocation is correct, the framing is somewhat misleading.

Members of Yesh Atid have been fighting for 8 consecutive hours against the allocation of corrupt funds to ultra-Orthodox educational institutions without oversight and without core curriculum studies.

Yesh Atid members have actively opposed the allocation of funds to ultra-Orthodox educational institutions lacking oversight and core curriculum studies. They filed a petition with the Supreme Court, leading to a freeze on over one billion shekels intended for these institutions. This legal action underscores their sustained efforts against such funding practices.

A third of the operating rooms at Soroka Hospital are not functioning.

In June 2025, Soroka Medical Center was struck by an Iranian missile, resulting in the destruction of eight out of its 19 operating rooms, which is approximately 42% of its surgical capacity. ([imfoc.org](https://www.imfoc.org/post/after-the-blast-soroka-hospital-struggles-to-care-amid-the-rubble?utm_source=openai)) As of March 2026, reports indicate that these operating rooms remain nonfunctional, with the hospital still operating at reduced capacity and facing challenges in patient care. ([ynetnews.com](https://www.ynetnews.com/health_science/article/b1bj9tdqge?utm_source=openai)) Therefore, the claim that a third of the operating rooms at Soroka Hospital are not functioning is accurate.

There is a major disaster with dozens of injured people in Dimona and Arad.

On March 21, 2026, Iranian missile strikes targeted the southern Israeli cities of Dimona and Arad, resulting in over 100 injuries, including children. Reports indicate that approximately 47 people were injured in Dimona and nearly 70 in Arad, with several in serious condition. The Israeli military acknowledged that its defense systems failed to intercept the missiles, leading to significant damage and casualties. These events confirm the claim of a major disaster with dozens of injured people in Dimona and Arad.

Iran does not currently have the capability to enrich uranium or produce missiles.

While recent U.S. and Israeli military operations have significantly degraded Iran's uranium enrichment and missile production capabilities, evidence indicates that Iran retains some capacity in both areas. Reports suggest that Iran still possesses operational missile and drone abilities and continues to disrupt regional stability. Additionally, the International Atomic Energy Agency (IAEA) has been unable to verify whether Iran has completely halted uranium enrichment, indicating that some capability may persist. Therefore, the claim that Iran has no ability to enrich uranium or produce missiles is misleading.

Iranian missiles are being launched towards Israel while Netanyahu is making a statement about eliminating the Iranian missile industry.

On March 19, 2026, Iranian missiles were launched towards Israel, prompting air raid sirens across central Israel, Jerusalem, and the north. This marked the eighth barrage since midnight, with Iran escalating its use of cluster munitions, raising serious concerns over civilian impact. Concurrently, Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu made a statement about eliminating the Iranian missile industry. The timing of these events aligns with the claim that Iranian missiles were being launched towards Israel while Netanyahu was making his statement.

A mechanism for oversight on the allocation of 5.8 million will be restored due to the actions of specific Knesset members and a legal consultation.

The claim states that an oversight mechanism for the allocation of 5.8 million was restored due to the actions of specific Knesset members and a legal consultation. According to reports, MK Vladimir Beliak and MK Naor Shiri of the Yesh Atid party identified an attempt by the government to allocate nearly NIS 5.8 billion without legal oversight. They intervened by involving the Knesset's legal advisory, ensuring that these funds were placed under a legal mechanism to guarantee their use for civilian needs during the war. This intervention effectively restored oversight over the allocation of these funds.

The government approved a blank check of 5.8 billion shekels without a clear purpose.

The Israeli government approved approximately 5 billion shekels in coalition funds, with at least 316 million shekels allocated to settlements, including 50 million for farms and outposts in the West Bank. While these allocations have specific purposes, the discretionary nature of coalition funds and the lack of detailed public disclosure can create perceptions of a 'blank check' without a clear purpose. However, the funds are not entirely without designated uses.

I submitted a petition to the Supreme Court to prevent illegal funds from being transferred to ultra-Orthodox parties through ultra-Orthodox institutions.

The claim that a petition was submitted to the Supreme Court to prevent illegal funds from being transferred to ultra-Orthodox parties through ultra-Orthodox institutions is accurate. On December 30, 2025, Yesh Atid, led by Yair Lapid, filed a petition with Israel's Supreme Court seeking to block the transfer of over one billion shekels approved by the Knesset Finance Committee for haredi educational institutions. The petition argued that these allocations were carried out in violation of the law, as the recipient institutions did not meet required educational criteria and the funding process bypassed established budgetary procedures. The Supreme Court subsequently issued an interim order freezing the transfer pending further proceedings.

Yesh Atid fought against the transfer of funds to draft dodgers during the war.

Yesh Atid has consistently opposed financial allocations to individuals avoiding military service, particularly during times of conflict. For instance, in February 2025, Yesh Atid MK Vladimir Beliak called for a criminal investigation into Agudat Yisrael officials for allegedly instructing yeshiva students to evade IDF draft sanctions by opening fictitious businesses. Additionally, in March 2026, opposition leader Yair Lapid criticized the government for advancing legislation perceived as favoring draft evaders during wartime, stating it harmed national unity. These actions substantiate the claim that Yesh Atid actively fought against the transfer of funds to draft dodgers during the war.

The vote on the state budget has been halted due to a legal inquiry regarding funds allocated to ultra-Orthodox parties.

The claim states that the state budget vote was halted due to a legal inquiry into funds allocated to ultra-Orthodox parties. While there were delays in the budget vote, the primary reason was disputes over the ultra-Orthodox conscription bill, not a legal inquiry into fund allocations. The budget vote was postponed amid threats from ultra-Orthodox parties to withhold support unless agreements were reached on the draft law. Therefore, the claim is somewhat misleading as it misattributes the cause of the delay.

The government opened the Knesset to allocate more money to Channel 14 and continue discussions on a political cover-up committee regarding the October 7 massacre.

The claim that the Knesset convened to allocate additional funds to Channel 14 lacks supporting evidence; no credible sources confirm such an allocation. However, the assertion that the Knesset continued discussions on a politically appointed committee to investigate the October 7 massacre is accurate. Reports indicate that the Knesset has been advancing legislation to establish such a committee, with preliminary votes and debates occurring in recent months. Therefore, while the claim about Channel 14 funding is unsubstantiated, the statement regarding the political inquiry committee is correct.

Netanyahu is returning a person named Orich to the office during a war after admitting to receiving money from Qatar, which raises concerns about national security.

The claim that Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu reinstated Jonatan Urich to his office during wartime, after Urich admitted to receiving money from Qatar, raising national security concerns, is partially accurate. Urich, a close aide to Netanyahu, was indeed implicated in the 'Qatargate' scandal, where he was arrested on suspicion of accepting funds from Qatar to promote its image in Israel. However, there is no public record confirming that Urich admitted to receiving such funds. Additionally, while Urich was arrested and investigated, information about his reinstatement to Netanyahu's office during wartime is not substantiated in the available sources. Therefore, the claim contains elements of truth but lacks critical context and confirmation regarding Urich's admission and reinstatement.

The government is advancing laws related to the judicial overhaul, including a law to split the legal advisor's role, a law to assist Channel 14, and a political investigation committee for the events of the October 7 massacre.

The claim accurately states that the government is advancing laws related to judicial overhaul, including legislation to split the legal advisor's role and establish a political investigation committee for the October 7 massacre. However, there is no evidence of a law specifically aimed at assisting Channel 14. Therefore, while the claim is mostly correct, the inclusion of the Channel 14 law is unsubstantiated, making the statement somewhat misleading.

The coalition is advancing its extreme agenda and stealing money for political purposes.

The claim that the coalition is advancing an extreme agenda and misappropriating funds for political purposes has some basis. The Israeli government has been criticized for promoting divisive legislation during wartime, such as the haredi draft bill and increased funding to ultra-Orthodox communities, which some view as prioritizing political interests over national unity. Additionally, the 2026 state budget includes a record level of coalition funds, leading to accusations of financial mismanagement. However, labeling these actions as 'stealing money' is an exaggeration, as the allocations, while controversial, are legally sanctioned. Therefore, the claim is somewhat misleading due to its exaggerated framing.

The American bombing last night on Harge Island is a step in the right direction and the Iranian regime should know that its economic infrastructure will be destroyed.

The claim states that the American bombing of Kharg Island is a step in the right direction and that the Iranian regime should know its economic infrastructure will be destroyed. On March 13, 2026, President Trump announced that the U.S. military conducted a significant bombing raid on Kharg Island, a critical hub for Iran's oil exports, responsible for 80-90% of the country's oil shipments. This action targeted Iran's economic infrastructure, aligning with the claim's assertion. Therefore, the claim is accurate and presented fairly.

The Prime Minister promised in June that all threats would be eliminated and that there would be a complete victory in Gaza, but this did not happen.

In June 2025, Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu announced plans for the 'complete conquest' of Gaza, aiming to eliminate Hamas and transfer control to Arab forces. However, by March 2026, Israel continues military operations in Gaza, indicating that the promised 'complete victory' and elimination of all threats have not been fully achieved. While the Prime Minister did make such promises, the claim overlooks the complexities and ongoing nature of the conflict, which have hindered the fulfillment of these objectives.

Netanyahu and Smotrich allocated 6 billion shekels for political bribery to ultra-Orthodox parties instead of funding for reservists, young parents, and the state.

The claim that Netanyahu and Smotrich allocated 6 billion shekels to ultra-Orthodox parties is somewhat misleading. While the government did approve over 5 billion shekels in coalition funds, including hundreds of millions directed to ultra-Orthodox institutions, the total allocation falls short of 6 billion shekels. Additionally, the characterization of these funds as 'political bribery' is a subjective interpretation. The budget also included significant increases in defense spending, indicating that funds were allocated to various sectors, not exclusively to ultra-Orthodox parties.

The draft evasion law did not pass due to casualties, reservists, and moral objections.

The draft exemption bill was indeed set aside, and factors such as casualties, reservist strain, and moral objections contributed to this decision. However, attributing the bill's failure solely to these reasons oversimplifies the situation. Political considerations, including maintaining coalition stability and public opposition, also played significant roles. Therefore, while the claim contains elements of truth, it lacks the full context of the political landscape.

In the absence of a government, local authorities are taking responsibility and effectively addressing citizens' needs during the war.

The claim that local authorities are taking responsibility and effectively addressing citizens' needs during the war is supported by reports of municipalities leading emergency operations and providing shelter and services. However, the assertion of the 'absence of a government' is misleading. The Israeli government remains active, having passed a significant budget and approved emergency military funding during the conflict. Therefore, while local authorities are indeed playing a crucial role, the framing that the national government is absent does not accurately reflect the situation.

The government is distributing 6 billion shekels in coalition funds for political bribery during wartime.

The claim that the Israeli government is distributing 6 billion shekels in coalition funds during wartime is accurate, as reports confirm nearly 6 billion shekels allocated to coalition funds amid the ongoing conflict. However, labeling these allocations as 'political bribery' is a subjective interpretation. While opposition figures have criticized the allocations, referring to them as 'the greatest theft in the state's history,' the term 'political bribery' implies illegal activity, which is not substantiated by the available evidence. Therefore, the claim is somewhat misleading due to the pejorative framing.

Coalition funds amounting to billions of shekels are allocated to Haredi parties to finance avoidance of military service during a time of war.

The claim that coalition funds amounting to billions of shekels are allocated to Haredi parties is accurate. Reports indicate that over NIS 5 billion in coalition funds were approved for the 2026 state budget, with hundreds of millions directed to Haredi institutions. However, the assertion that these funds are specifically intended to finance avoidance of military service is misleading. While there is an ongoing debate about Haredi military exemptions, the allocated funds are primarily for educational and religious institutions, not directly for avoiding military service. Therefore, the claim lacks full context and could lead to a misunderstanding of the purpose of these allocations.

Iran is targeting civilians while Israel and the US are targeting the Iranian regime.

The claim that Iran is targeting civilians while Israel and the US are targeting the Iranian regime is partially accurate but lacks full context. Iranian missile strikes have indeed resulted in civilian casualties in Israel, such as the deaths in Yehud on March 9, 2026. However, while US and Israeli operations have primarily targeted Iranian military and regime sites, there have been instances where these strikes have caused civilian casualties, including a reported incident involving a U.S. missile hitting an Iranian girls' school, resulting in significant civilian deaths. Therefore, the claim oversimplifies the situation by not acknowledging civilian casualties resulting from US and Israeli actions.

The government opened the Knesset not to create a reasonable compensation plan for businesses or an education system plan, but to allocate more money to Channel 14 at the expense of Israeli citizens during wartime, and they transferred more powers to Netanyahu unrelated to the war.

The claim suggests that the Knesset convened during wartime primarily to allocate additional funds to Channel 14 and to transfer more powers to Prime Minister Netanyahu, neglecting compensation plans for businesses and the education system. While the Knesset did convene and passed a budget that included significant allocations to ultra-Orthodox institutions and settlements, there is no specific evidence indicating that additional funds were allocated to Channel 14 during this session. Additionally, while the government has been criticized for measures that could expand Netanyahu's powers, the claim lacks specific details about such transfers unrelated to the war. Therefore, the claim is somewhat misleading as it presents an incomplete picture of the Knesset's actions.

The state pays unemployment benefits that are significantly lower than wages, which is a significant harm to income during wartime.

Unemployment benefits in Israel are calculated as a percentage of the individual's previous wages, typically averaging about 70% of prior earnings. This means that the benefits are indeed significantly lower than the full wages previously earned. During wartime, such as the ongoing conflict with Iran, this reduction can substantially impact individuals' incomes, especially when many are placed on unpaid leave or face job losses. Therefore, the claim that unemployment benefits are significantly lower than wages and cause substantial income harm during wartime is accurate.

Two IDF soldiers were killed last night in southern Lebanon.

The claim that two IDF soldiers were killed in southern Lebanon on March 8, 2026, is corroborated by multiple reputable sources. The Jerusalem Post reports that the IDF announced the deaths of two soldiers due to a Hezbollah ambush in southern Lebanon, identifying one as M.-Sgt. Maher Khatar, aged 38, from Majdal Shams. The Times of Israel also confirms the incident, noting that the soldiers were killed when their armored bulldozer was struck during a military operation near the border. These consistent reports from credible news outlets substantiate the claim.

The government is telling parents to take unpaid leave because their children are home during the war, and the finance minister does not understand how these people will pay for groceries or their electricity bills.

The claim accurately states that the Israeli government, through Finance Minister Bezalel Smotrich, announced a plan allowing one parent in families with children under 14 to take unpaid leave while schools remain closed due to the war. This measure has indeed sparked criticism from parents and opposition figures, including Yair Lapid, who questioned how affected families would manage essential expenses like groceries and electricity bills. However, the claim omits that the government proposed compensatory measures, such as unemployment benefits and state funding for employers, to mitigate the financial impact on families. While these measures may not fully address all concerns, their exclusion from the claim presents an incomplete picture of the government's response.

The government offices are not providing adequate responses to the citizens of Israel, and there is confusion regarding the decisions and guidelines for reopening the economy, particularly in special education where there is no response for children.

The claim highlights inadequate government responses and confusion regarding reopening guidelines, particularly affecting special education. Evidence supports this: on March 5, 2026, the Israeli government allowed workplaces to reopen while keeping schools, including special education, in remote learning, causing challenges for parents and students. Opposition leaders criticized the lack of coordination between ministries, emphasizing the severe impact on special education where children lacked adequate support. This aligns with the claim's assertion of government inadequacy and confusion in reopening decisions, especially in special education.

We went to war because Iran built its nuclear capabilities and developed a complete ballistic missile industry.

The claim that the war was initiated because Iran built its nuclear capabilities and developed a complete ballistic missile industry is partially accurate. Iran has indeed advanced its nuclear program and possesses a significant ballistic missile arsenal. However, attributing the war solely to these developments oversimplifies the situation. The conflict's initiation involved multiple factors, including failed diplomatic negotiations, regional tensions, and strategic calculations by the United States and Israel. Therefore, while Iran's military advancements were a significant concern, they were not the sole reason for the war.

I have never taken responsibility on behalf of Israel for the attack on the girls' school in Iran.

The politician asserts that they have never taken responsibility on behalf of Israel for the attack on the girls' school in Iran. There is no evidence indicating that any Israeli official has claimed responsibility for the attack. In fact, both the U.S. and Israel have denied involvement in the strike, and investigations are ongoing to determine the responsible party. Therefore, the politician's statement is accurate.

Most of the countries represented by the ambassadors in Israel have previously fallen victim to terrorism sponsored by Iran.

Iran is widely recognized as a state sponsor of terrorism, supporting groups like Hezbollah, Hamas, and the Houthis, which have conducted attacks in various countries. However, the claim that 'most' of the countries represented by ambassadors in Israel have been victims of Iran-sponsored terrorism lacks specific evidence. While some nations have experienced such incidents, it's not substantiated that a majority have. Therefore, the statement is somewhat misleading due to the lack of concrete data supporting the extent of Iran's involvement across most of these countries.

The Iranians made a critical mistake and turned this war into a regional one. We are on the same side.

The claim that Iran's actions have transformed the conflict into a regional war is accurate. Iranian forces and their allies have conducted attacks across multiple Middle Eastern countries, including missile and drone strikes on Israel, Saudi Arabia, the United Arab Emirates, Kuwait, Bahrain, Oman, and Qatar. These actions have escalated the conflict beyond Iran's borders, involving various regional actors and affecting global energy markets. Additionally, the statement that 'we are on the same side' reflects the growing alignment between Israel and Saudi Arabia in response to Iran's regional aggression.

Iran has deceived in negotiations and planned to continue advancing its ballistic missile program and nuclear program, which threatens the entire Middle East.

The claim that Iran has deceived in negotiations and planned to continue advancing its ballistic missile and nuclear programs, threatening the Middle East, contains elements of truth but lacks nuance. Iran has indeed pursued advancements in its ballistic missile and nuclear programs, raising regional concerns. However, the assertion of deception in negotiations is contentious and not universally substantiated. While Iran has expanded its missile capabilities and enriched uranium beyond civilian needs, leading to international scrutiny and sanctions, the claim's framing may lead a reasonable person to an incomplete understanding of the complexities involved.

Iran is trying to rebuild its nuclear and ballistic missile programs.

Multiple credible sources confirm that Iran has been actively working to rebuild and enhance its nuclear and ballistic missile programs. Reports indicate that Iran has received shipments of materials from China to replenish its missile stockpile, and has unveiled new missile systems such as the 'Firdous 4' supersonic ballistic missile. Additionally, U.S. military operations have targeted Iran's efforts to reconstitute its nuclear and missile capabilities, underscoring the ongoing nature of these programs.

There is support in Israel for continued action against the Iranian regime.

The claim that there is support in Israel for continued action against the Iranian regime is accurate. A survey conducted in June 2025 by researchers from the Hebrew University and Tel Aviv University found that 83% of Jewish Israelis supported the military strike against Iran. This indicates substantial backing within Israel for ongoing military actions targeting the Iranian regime.

NATO Secretary General Mark Rutte unequivocally supported the attack on Iran.

NATO Secretary General Mark Rutte has publicly expressed strong support for the U.S. and Israeli military actions against Iran. In various statements, he praised these operations for degrading Iran's nuclear and ballistic missile capabilities, describing them as 'very important' and noting 'widespread support' among European allies. However, he also emphasized that NATO as an organization would not participate in the conflict, clarifying that involvement is limited to individual member states. Therefore, the claim that Rutte 'unequivocally supported the attack on Iran' is accurate.

Khamenei was not a head of state but a leader of a terrorist organization that took over a country, and his elimination is justified.

Ali Khamenei served as Iran's Supreme Leader from 1989 until his death in 2026, making him the de facto head of state. While his leadership involved support for groups designated as terrorist organizations by some countries, characterizing him solely as a terrorist leader who 'took over a country' overlooks his official governmental role and the complex political structure of Iran. Therefore, the claim distorts the reality of Khamenei's position and the nature of his leadership.

Israel is a democratic state that protects its citizens, unlike Iran which has a terrorist organization that has taken over the state.

The claim that Israel is a democratic state that protects its citizens is generally accurate, as Israel operates as a parliamentary democracy with institutions that typically uphold political rights and civil liberties. However, there are ongoing debates about the extent of its democratic practices, especially concerning the treatment of Arab and other minority populations, which have led to systemic disparities in areas like criminal justice and economic opportunity. Regarding Iran, while it is governed by a theocratic regime with significant influence from the Islamic Revolutionary Guard Corps (IRGC), which is designated as a terrorist organization by some countries, it is not accurate to state that a terrorist organization has 'taken over the state.' The IRGC is an integral part of Iran's military and political structure, not an external entity that has seized control. Therefore, the claim oversimplifies complex political realities in both countries.

People in Bahrain and the United Arab Emirates are being bombarded by Iranian missiles and drones.

As of March 1, 2026, Iran has launched missile and drone attacks targeting Bahrain and the United Arab Emirates. In Bahrain, strikes have hit multiple buildings in Manama, including the district of Juffair, where the U.S. Navy's 5th Fleet is headquartered. These attacks have resulted in civilian casualties and infrastructure damage. Similarly, the UAE has faced numerous missile and drone attacks, with air defenses intercepting many projectiles, but some causing damage and casualties. These events confirm that both countries are experiencing bombardment by Iranian missiles and drones.

The rescue forces displayed great heroism and the citizens showed solidarity in the face of destruction in Tel Aviv.

On March 1, 2026, an Iranian missile struck a residential area in Tel Aviv, resulting in significant destruction, including the death of a woman and injuries to at least 22 others. Israeli security and rescue forces promptly responded to the scene, working diligently amid the rubble to assist victims and manage the aftermath. Reports highlight the extensive damage and the swift actions of emergency teams, underscoring the heroism of rescue forces and the solidarity of citizens in the face of destruction.

Qasem Soleimani has been killed, and this will serve as a warning to our enemies.

Qasem Soleimani, the commander of Iran's Quds Force, was killed on January 3, 2020, in a U.S. drone strike near Baghdad International Airport. This event occurred over six years prior to the tweet dated February 28, 2026. Therefore, the claim that Soleimani has been killed as of February 2026 is false.

We acted to thwart a regime that tried to revive its nuclear program and ballistic missile program.

On February 28, 2026, Israel, in coordination with the United States, launched a pre-emptive military operation against Iran, targeting its nuclear and ballistic missile programs. This action was taken in response to intelligence indicating that Iran was attempting to revive these programs, posing a significant threat to regional and global security. The coordinated strikes aimed to dismantle Iran's capabilities in these areas, aligning with the claim that measures were taken to thwart a regime's efforts to restore its nuclear and missile programs.

The Iranian regime has killed tens of thousands of its own civilians and threatens the entire Middle East.

The claim that the Iranian regime has killed tens of thousands of its own civilians is supported by multiple credible sources. Estimates of the death toll from the government's crackdown on protests range from over 7,000 confirmed deaths to more than 36,500, with some reports suggesting figures as high as 50,000. Additionally, the regime's actions, including support for proxy groups like Hezbollah and the Houthis, have been widely recognized as destabilizing factors in the Middle East, posing threats to regional security.

The UN Secretary General has sided with the Iranian regime, which has killed tens of thousands of its own citizens and promoted terrorism.

The claim asserts that the UN Secretary-General has sided with the Iranian regime, which has killed tens of thousands of its own citizens and promoted terrorism. However, available evidence indicates that the Secretary-General has condemned Iran's actions. On January 11, 2026, he expressed shock over reports of violence and excessive use of force by Iranian authorities against protesters, urging restraint and the restoration of communications. Additionally, on February 28, 2026, he condemned military escalations involving Iran, calling for de-escalation and adherence to international law. These statements do not support the assertion that the Secretary-General has sided with the Iranian regime. Therefore, the claim is misleading.

The UN Secretary-General supports the Iranian regime, which has killed tens of thousands of its citizens and funded terrorism worldwide.

The claim that the UN Secretary-General supports the Iranian regime is misleading. In reality, Secretary-General António Guterres has condemned Iran's actions, including the excessive use of force against protesters and military escalations. For instance, on January 11, 2026, he expressed being "shocked by the reports of violence and excessive use of force by the Iranian authorities against protesters" and urged the Iranian authorities to exercise maximum restraint. Additionally, on February 28, 2026, he condemned the military escalation involving Iran, the United States, and Israel, calling for an immediate cessation of hostilities. While there have been reports of the UN Secretary-General sending a congratulatory message to Iran on the anniversary of its revolution, this does not equate to supporting the regime's actions, especially given his consistent public condemnations of Iran's human rights violations and military activities.

There was no 'betrayal from within' on October 7th.

Shin Bet Chief David Zini explicitly stated that there was no 'betrayal' or 'collaboration' by the Shin Bet or anyone from the security establishment during the October 7th events. He acknowledged a serious professional failure but emphasized the absence of internal betrayal. Opposition leader Yair Lapid also commended Zini's decisive statement, suggesting that this should put an end to related conspiracy theories. Therefore, the claim that 'There was no 'betrayal from within' on October 7th' is accurate.

The Prime Minister has not done anything to resolve the crisis created by Amir Ohana's decision to boycott the Supreme Court and the opposition.

The claim states that the Prime Minister has not taken action to resolve the crisis caused by Knesset Speaker Amir Ohana's decision to exclude Supreme Court President Isaac Amit from Indian Prime Minister Narendra Modi's address to the Knesset. Opposition leader Yair Lapid urged Prime Minister Netanyahu to intervene and invite Amit to prevent the opposition from boycotting the session. However, reports indicate that Ohana maintained his decision, and there is no evidence that Netanyahu intervened to resolve the situation. Therefore, the claim is accurate.

Netanyahu has no coalition and his government is falling apart.

As of February 23, 2026, Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu's coalition faced significant challenges, including internal disagreements and legislative defeats. For instance, Finance Minister Bezalel Smotrich's proposal to double the VAT exemption ceiling was rejected by a wide margin in the Knesset, indicating internal discord. However, despite these issues, Netanyahu's government remained in power, and there was no formal dissolution of the coalition. Therefore, while the government faced instability, the claim that Netanyahu had "no coalition" and that his government was "falling apart" is an exaggeration.

Israel will stand united in the fight against the Iranian regime.

The claim that "Israel will stand united in the fight against the Iranian regime" is supported by recent events. On February 28, 2026, Israel, in coordination with the United States, launched a significant military operation against Iran, targeting its leadership and military infrastructure. This operation, known as "Operation Roaring Lion" in Israel, aimed to neutralize perceived threats from Iran. The Israeli government, led by Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu, declared a state of emergency and mobilized 100,000 reservists, indicating a unified national stance against Iran. Additionally, Israeli political leaders across the spectrum have expressed support for the operation, emphasizing the existential threat posed by Iran and the need for a united front. Therefore, the claim accurately reflects Israel's current unified position in its conflict with the Iranian regime.

The government is transferring billions to corrupt individuals and tens of billions to draft dodgers, but cannot put milk on the shelves.

The claim suggests that the Israeli government is transferring billions to corrupt individuals and tens of billions to draft dodgers, while failing to ensure milk availability on shelves. While there is evidence of significant budget allocations to various sectors, including NIS 5 billion to haredi institutions and settlements, and ongoing debates over military service exemptions for the ultra-Orthodox community, the specific figures mentioned ('billions' and 'tens of billions') are not substantiated by available data. Additionally, the milk shortage is primarily due to a strike by dairy farmers protesting government reforms, not directly because of government financial mismanagement. Therefore, the claim distorts the context and scale of the issues, leading a reasonable person to an inaccurate understanding.

The discussions on the defense budget scheduled for Sunday have been canceled due to the instructions of the ultra-Orthodox parties, meaning a budget of 112 billion shekels will be voted on without a professional discussion or examination of alternatives.

The claim that defense budget discussions scheduled for Sunday were canceled due to instructions from ultra-Orthodox parties is supported by reports indicating that ultra-Orthodox parties have previously influenced budget proceedings, including delays and cancellations, over disputes related to military conscription laws. However, the assertion that a 112 billion shekel budget will be voted on without professional discussion or examination of alternatives is somewhat misleading. While there have been delays and political maneuvering, the budget process involves multiple readings and discussions in the Knesset, suggesting that some level of professional review and debate occurs before final approval.

Those who evade military service receive 60 billion shekels a year, while our children serve in the army and receive nothing.

The claim that those who evade military service receive 60 billion shekels annually is misleading. This figure appears to be a misrepresentation of the costs associated with military operations, such as the 60 billion shekels estimated for the October 7 war, rather than direct payments to draft evaders. Additionally, while there are financial implications related to draft exemptions, such as potential economic burdens due to reduced workforce participation, the assertion that children serving in the army receive 'nothing' is inaccurate. Israeli soldiers do receive compensation, including increased payments and benefits, as evidenced by the government's approval of a 3 billion shekel support package for reservists in 2025. Therefore, the claim distorts the financial realities of military service and draft evasion in Israel.

The Ministerial Committee for Legislation recently rejected my proposal to declare Qatar an enemy state.

The claim states that the Ministerial Committee for Legislation recently rejected a proposal to declare Qatar an enemy state. According to available information, on February 12, 2026, the committee was scheduled to discuss a legislative proposal by opposition leader Yair Lapid to designate Qatar as an enemy state. The claim aligns with this timeline, indicating that the committee did indeed reject the proposal around that date.

Francesca Albanese, the UN representative on the Palestinian issue, said that Israel is 'the common enemy of humanity.'

Francesca Albanese did not state that Israel is 'the common enemy of humanity.' This claim originated from a manipulated video that misrepresented her remarks. In her actual speech at an Al Jazeera forum, she referred to 'the system that has enabled the genocide in Palestine' as the 'common enemy' and later clarified that she was addressing the broader system, not Israel specifically. Therefore, the claim is false.

When I was Prime Minister, we reduced crime and dramatically lowered the number of murders.

The claim that crime and murder rates were dramatically reduced during the speaker's tenure as Prime Minister is misleading. Data indicates that Israel's homicide rate per 100,000 people increased from 1.43 in 2020 to 1.94 in 2021, a 36.18% rise. Additionally, the number of intentional homicides rose from 147 in 2020 to 173 in 2021. These statistics contradict the assertion of a significant reduction in crime and murders during that period.

The government is silent while dozens of draft dodgers attack soldiers and wounded soldiers of the IDF.

The claim that 'dozens of draft dodgers attack soldiers and wounded soldiers of the IDF' is somewhat misleading. While there have been incidents involving confrontations between ultra-Orthodox protesters and IDF personnel, such as the February 15, 2026, assault on two female soldiers in Bnei Brak, these events are not as widespread as the claim suggests. Additionally, the government's response has not been entirely silent; for instance, the IDF condemned the Bnei Brak attack and clarified the soldiers' activities. Therefore, while elements of the claim are based on real events, the overall framing exaggerates the frequency and severity of such incidents and the government's inaction.

Egypt should have managed Gaza for the past 15 years with close security cooperation with us, and Israel's decision to forgo the Egyptian option is strategic blindness.

The claim suggests that Egypt should have managed Gaza for the past 15 years with close security cooperation with Israel, and that Israel's decision to forgo this option is strategic blindness. However, there is no substantial evidence indicating that Egypt was willing or proposed to manage Gaza during this period. In fact, Egypt has consistently emphasized that any security arrangements in Gaza should be temporary and transitional, aiming to enable full governance by the Palestinian Authority. Additionally, Egypt has rejected Israeli proposals for greater oversight over the Gaza border and has condemned Israeli decisions to reoccupy the Gaza Strip. Therefore, the assertion that Egypt should have managed Gaza and that Israel's decision to forgo this option constitutes strategic blindness is misleading.

The editing of security discussion protocols is a violation of the law.

The claim that "The editing of security discussion protocols is a violation of the law" is accurate. Israeli law, specifically the Official Secrets Law, prohibits the unauthorized alteration of official security documents. Opposition leader Yair Lapid has stated that deliberate editing of security discussions constitutes a violation of this law. Additionally, Israeli authorities have initiated investigations into allegations of tampered security protocols within the Prime Minister's office, indicating the seriousness of such actions under the law.

Prime Minister Netanyahu has promoted the idea of strengthening Hamas to prevent the unification of fronts and to weaken the Palestinian Authority.

The claim that Prime Minister Netanyahu promoted strengthening Hamas to prevent the unification of fronts and to weaken the Palestinian Authority is partially supported by various sources. Reports indicate that Netanyahu's government allowed Qatari funds to enter Gaza, which some argue bolstered Hamas financially. Additionally, statements from former Israeli officials suggest that Netanyahu's strategy involved keeping Hamas strong to counterbalance the Palestinian Authority. However, Netanyahu has denied these allegations, and his government has conducted multiple military operations against Hamas. Therefore, while there is evidence suggesting such a strategy, it is contested and not definitively proven.

Netanyahu was warned repeatedly before October 7, including a warning given by me on September 20, 2023, and he ignored all warnings.

Multiple credible sources confirm that Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu received several warnings prior to the October 7, 2023, attack. The IDF acknowledged sending four warning letters between March and July 2023, highlighting concerns about Israel's internal divisions and their potential exploitation by adversaries. Additionally, former IDF Military Intelligence Directorate chief Aharon Haliva stated that Netanyahu showed little interest in intelligence assessments and ignored warnings to better prepare for potential conflict. Opposition leader Yair Lapid also claimed to have personally warned Netanyahu on September 20, 2023, about an imminent outbreak of violence, which was disregarded. These consistent reports substantiate the claim that Netanyahu was repeatedly warned before October 7 and failed to act on those warnings.

When the political leadership gives a clear directive, the military and Shin Bet carry out targeted killings without reservations, as happened during my time as Prime Minister in Operation 'Breaking Dawn'.

The claim suggests that during 'Operation Breaking Dawn,' the military and Shin Bet executed targeted killings under the directive of the speaker, implying they were Prime Minister at that time. However, 'Operation Breaking Dawn' occurred in August 2022, when Yair Lapid was the Prime Minister of Israel, not the speaker. Therefore, the assertion that the speaker ordered these actions during their tenure as Prime Minister is inaccurate.

Three Israeli citizens were murdered this morning.

The claim that 'Three Israeli citizens were murdered this morning' is accurate. On February 4, 2026, three men from the Arab city of Tira were shot and killed while traveling near Kfar Saba and Ra'anana. This incident was part of a surge in violence within Israel's Arab community, bringing the death toll to 32 for that year. The victims were Israeli citizens, and the murders occurred in the morning hours, aligning with the claim made on February 5, 2026.

The coalition removed the vote on the budget splits from the agenda after realizing that the opposition intended to keep the Knesset session open all night.

The claim that the coalition removed the vote on the budget splits from the agenda after realizing the opposition intended to keep the Knesset session open all night is partially accurate. While the coalition did remove the vote on splitting the Arrangements Bill from the agenda, this action was primarily due to internal disagreements within the coalition, particularly the Haredi parties' demands for progress on the Draft Law. The opposition's intention to prolong the session may have influenced the timing, but it was not the main reason for the postponement.

Avi Maoz wants to be the Minister of Education in Netanyahu's government, and Netanyahu's government has Itamar Ben Gvir responsible for the police, Tzvi Sukot as the chairman of the Education Committee, and Ariel Atias as the chairman of the Foreign Affairs and Defense Committee.

The claim accurately states that Itamar Ben-Gvir was appointed as Minister of National Security in Netanyahu's government, overseeing the police. However, Avi Maoz did not become Minister of Education; he was appointed Deputy Minister in the Prime Minister's Office, focusing on Jewish identity issues. Additionally, there is no evidence that Tzvi Sukot served as chairman of the Education Committee or that Ariel Atias held the position of chairman of the Foreign Affairs and Defense Committee. Therefore, while some elements are correct, the overall claim is misleading due to inaccuracies regarding specific appointments.

The State of Israel is united against the threat from Iran and there are no disagreements on the importance of dealing with this threat.

The claim states that Israel is united against the threat from Iran, with no disagreements on the importance of addressing this threat. This assertion is supported by statements from both Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu and opposition leader Yair Lapid, who, despite previous political clashes, have publicly emphasized national unity in confronting Iran. Additionally, recent events, such as the joint military offensive with the United States targeting Iranian infrastructure, have garnered broad political and public support in Israel, further indicating a unified stance against Iran.

The Rafah crossing is open in both directions, the Palestinian Authority is fully present there, and the IDF is not present.

The claim that the Rafah crossing is open in both directions is accurate, as it reopened on February 2, 2026, for limited pedestrian traffic. However, the assertion that the Palestinian Authority is "fully present" there is somewhat misleading. While the Palestinian Authority personnel have been redeployed to the crossing, their operations are under strict supervision by the European Union Border Assistance Mission (EUBAM Rafah) and subject to Israeli security protocols, indicating that their presence is not entirely autonomous. Additionally, the statement that the IDF is "not present" is technically correct in terms of physical presence, but Israel maintains significant control over the crossing's operations, including security approvals and monitoring, which implies an indirect presence. Therefore, while the core facts are correct, the framing omits crucial context about the operational constraints and oversight, leading to a somewhat misleading impression.

Netanyahu personally transferred tens of millions of dollars to Hamas against the position of security officials and without explanation.

The claim that Netanyahu personally transferred tens of millions of dollars to Hamas is somewhat misleading. While Netanyahu's government did facilitate the transfer of Qatari funds to Hamas, these actions were part of a broader strategy to manage the Gaza situation and were not direct personal transfers by Netanyahu. Additionally, these transfers were conducted with the knowledge and oversight of Israeli authorities, aiming to prevent a humanitarian crisis in Gaza. However, some Israeli officials and critics have argued that this policy indirectly strengthened Hamas, potentially undermining the Palestinian Authority and complicating the peace process.

We did not receive secret money from Qatar during the war, unlike senior officials in Netanyahu's office, and we did not transfer millions of dollars each month to Hamas's military wing like Netanyahu did.

The claim asserts that Netanyahu's office received secret funds from Qatar during the war and transferred millions monthly to Hamas's military wing. While reports indicate that Netanyahu's government permitted Qatari funds to flow into Gaza, ostensibly for humanitarian purposes, and was warned that some funds were diverted to Hamas's military wing, there is no conclusive evidence that Netanyahu's office received secret payments from Qatar. Therefore, the claim contains elements of truth but lacks full context and supporting evidence for all assertions.

The Rafah crossing has opened in both directions this morning, with the presence of representatives from the Palestinian Authority, and the IDF is not present there.

The Rafah crossing did reopen on February 1, 2026, for limited pedestrian traffic, and Palestinian Authority representatives were present. However, the claim that the IDF was not present is misleading. While the IDF may not have had a physical presence at the crossing, they retained significant control over its operations, including security oversight and vetting of individuals permitted to cross. This context is crucial for a full understanding of the situation.

Members of the coalition, Tesler, Porush, and Goldknopf, voted against the budget, and Deri did not attend.

The claim accurately states that coalition members Yitzhak Goldknopf, Meir Porush, and Yaakov Tesler voted against the 2026 state budget, and that Aryeh Deri was absent from the vote. This information is corroborated by multiple sources, including reports from Haredim 10 and The Jerusalem Post.

Netanyahu lied to the Knesset about former military and intelligence leaders not testifying before the State Comptroller, while they actually did testify extensively.

Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu claimed that former military and intelligence leaders did not testify before the State Comptroller regarding the October 7 events. However, reports indicate that these officials did provide extensive testimony. For instance, Netanyahu stated that former Shin Bet chief Ronen Bar, former IDF Chief of Staff Herzi Halevi, and former head of Military Intelligence did not appear before the Comptroller, while evidence shows they did testify comprehensively. This contradiction supports the claim that Netanyahu misled the Knesset on this matter.

No funds should be transferred to Haredi institutions without the approval of the Finance Committee and the legislative authority, as it would be a serious violation of the law.

The claim asserts that transferring funds to Haredi institutions without the approval of the Finance Committee and legislative authority constitutes a serious legal violation. This is supported by a recent Supreme Court hearing where a state representative admitted that 90% of funds sent to Haredi education were transferred unlawfully, indicating that such transfers without proper approval are indeed illegal.

Ran Guily was the last hostage in Gaza and is now being buried in Israel.

The claim that 'Ran Guily was the last hostage in Gaza and is now being buried in Israel' is accurate. Ran Gvili, a 24-year-old Israeli police officer, was killed during the Hamas-led attack on October 7, 2023, and his body was taken to Gaza. After an extensive search, his remains were recovered and identified in January 2026. He was subsequently buried in Israel, marking the return of the last Israeli hostage from Gaza. This information is corroborated by multiple reputable sources, including Israel Hayom and NPR.

The findings of the submarine committee prove that Israel's most sensitive security matters were managed with negligence and incompetence.

The Submarine Affair investigation revealed that Israeli leaders made critical security decisions without proper oversight, leading to systemic failures in defense procurement processes. The committee found that the handling of sensitive security matters was chaotic and lacked clear policies, thereby endangering national security. These findings substantiate the claim that Israel's most sensitive security matters were managed with negligence and incompetence.

The government is failing to provide personal security and is not effectively dealing with crime and extortion.

The claim that the government is failing to provide personal security and is not effectively dealing with crime and extortion is supported by multiple reports. In 2025, 252 Palestinian citizens of Israel were murdered, highlighting a significant crime issue within Arab communities. ([aljazeera.com](https://www.aljazeera.com/news/2026/2/10/palestinian-citizens-israel-demand-government-do-more-stop-crime?utm_source=openai)) Additionally, a survey indicated that 15% of Israelis were victims of crime in 2025, with underreporting and growing fears about personal security. ([jpost.com](https://www.jpost.com/israel-news/crime-in-israel/article-890405?utm_source=openai)) Despite the government's allocation of $68 million to combat violent crime in Arab communities, ([israel.com](https://israel.com/breaking-only/68-million-allocated-to-combat-violent-crime-in-arab-communities/?utm_source=openai)) the persistence of high crime rates and public protests suggests that these measures have been insufficient in addressing the problem effectively.

The IDF does not have enough fighters and is falling below the threshold of operational readiness.

IDF Chief of Staff Eyal Zamir has expressed concerns about a significant shortage of combat soldiers, warning that delays in extending mandatory service could undermine the army's operational readiness as early as the coming year. He emphasized that without an immediate extension of mandatory service for men to 36 months, the IDF's force buildup would suffer severe damage, potentially affecting readiness and training quality. Additionally, the IDF faces a gap of thousands of soldiers in its combat forces, with the Knesset advancing legislation to expand draft exemptions. These statements support the claim that the IDF is experiencing a shortage of fighters and is falling below operational readiness thresholds.

The current members of the Constitution Committee are not investigators but those being investigated regarding the biggest disaster since the Holocaust.

The claim suggests that the current members of the Constitution Committee are the same individuals who were in power during the October 7, 2023, attacks, implying they are investigating themselves. While it's true that the government has proposed an independent commission to investigate the events, there is criticism that such a commission may lack impartiality due to its composition. However, the Constitution Committee itself is not directly responsible for investigating the October 7 events, making the claim somewhat misleading.

Netanyahu is allowing Turkey and Qatar to enter Gaza, which jeopardizes Israel's security.

Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu has explicitly opposed the deployment of Turkish and Qatari military personnel in Gaza. He stated, "There will be no Turkish and Qatari soldiers in the Gaza Strip," highlighting a disagreement with the United States over the composition of the governing body for Gaza's post-war management. This indicates that Netanyahu is not allowing Turkey and Qatar to enter Gaza, contradicting the claim that such actions jeopardize Israel's security.

The Israeli government has failed diplomatically by not advancing the Egyptian solution with the US and the world, leading to Turkey and Qatar's involvement in Gaza and Hamas having 30,000 armed men in Gaza.

The claim suggests that the Israeli government's failure to advance the 'Egyptian solution' diplomatically led to increased involvement of Turkey and Qatar in Gaza and Hamas having 30,000 armed men. While it's true that Turkey and Qatar have become more involved in Gaza, and Hamas's armed strength has been significant, attributing this solely to Israel's diplomatic actions is an oversimplification. Multiple factors, including regional dynamics and internal Palestinian politics, have influenced these developments. Therefore, the claim lacks sufficient context and overstates the direct causation.

Israel is supplying weapons to protesters in Iran.

The claim that Israel is supplying weapons to protesters in Iran lacks credible evidence. Iranian Foreign Minister Abbas Araghchi alleged that foreign elements, including Israel, are arming protesters, but these assertions are unsubstantiated and appear to be part of Iran's narrative to blame external forces for internal unrest. Israeli officials have maintained a cautious stance, refraining from direct involvement in Iran's domestic affairs. No reliable sources confirm that Israel is providing weapons to Iranian protesters.

Funds were illegally transferred to ultra-Orthodox educational institutions that do not teach core subjects.

The claim that funds were illegally transferred to ultra-Orthodox educational institutions that do not teach core subjects is supported by multiple sources. In January 2026, Deputy Knesset Speaker Yaakov Margi (Shas) acknowledged that budgetary transfers to ultra-Orthodox schools occurred before formal approval by the Finance Committee, a practice deemed illegal by the Supreme Court. Additionally, the High Court of Justice has ordered the state to explain why it continues to fund ultra-Orthodox schools that fail to teach core curriculum subjects, indicating legal challenges to such funding practices. Furthermore, police investigations have uncovered instances where public education funds were allegedly misused within Shas-linked schools, including the production of politically affiliated materials. These instances collectively substantiate the claim of illegal fund transfers to non-compliant educational institutions.

The Director General of the Ministry of Finance admitted knowledge of illegal financial transfers.

The claim that the Director General of the Ministry of Finance admitted knowledge of illegal financial transfers is supported by recent events. On January 11, 2026, Knesset Legal Adviser Sagit Afik demanded a full breakdown of all funds transferred without the approval of the Knesset Finance Committee over the past five years. This demand followed a High Court of Justice hearing where the state acknowledged that most of the funds had already been transferred before the Finance Committee voted to approve the reallocations in December. Opposition leader Yair Lapid accused the government of fraud, stating that Members of Knesset voted on budget transfers long after the money had already been transferred, which is against the law. These developments indicate that the Director General was aware of and involved in unauthorized financial transfers.

Illegal funds were transferred to the ultra-Orthodox parties without the approval of the Finance Committee, which is against the law.

The claim that funds were transferred to ultra-Orthodox parties without the approval of the Finance Committee, in violation of the law, is supported by multiple sources. A state representative acknowledged that a significant portion of funds had been transferred prior to the Finance Committee's discussion, which a High Court justice described as unlawful. Additionally, the Supreme Court issued an interim order freezing over 1 billion shekels allocated to ultra-Orthodox educational institutions, pending further proceedings. These actions confirm that the transfers occurred without proper legal authorization.

I submitted an amendment to our petition regarding the transfer of 1,090,000,000 shekels against the law to the ultra-Orthodox institutions, including funds that have already been transferred.

The claim accurately reflects recent events. The Yesh Atid party filed a petition with the Supreme Court challenging the transfer of over 1 billion shekels to ultra-Orthodox institutions, alleging the funds were allocated unlawfully. During the hearing, a state representative admitted that 90% of the funds were transferred unlawfully. Consequently, the Supreme Court issued an interim order freezing the transfer of these funds. These developments confirm the claim's accuracy.

The court accepted the request of Yesh Atid to amend the petition regarding funds that were transferred illegally and maintains the interim order preventing further transfers of funds.

The Supreme Court accepted Yesh Atid's request to amend its petition to address funds already transferred illegally and maintained the interim order preventing further transfers. This is supported by reports indicating that the court allowed the petition amendment and upheld the injunction freezing the transfer of funds to haredi educational institutions.

Most of the funds transferred to the ultra-Orthodox education networks were done without the approval of the Finance Committee, which is illegal.

During a Supreme Court hearing on January 8, 2026, a state representative admitted that approximately 90% of the funds allocated to ultra-Orthodox education networks were transferred without prior approval from the Knesset Finance Committee. Justice Yael Willner characterized this practice as 'illegal.' This admission and judicial assessment confirm the claim's accuracy.

Without sanctions, it is not a recruitment law.

The claim asserts that without sanctions, a law cannot effectively enforce military recruitment. This perspective is supported by various developments in Israel's conscription policies. For instance, in June 2025, a draft law was proposed to include personal and financial sanctions against yeshiva students who neither study Torah nor enlist in the IDF, indicating a belief that sanctions are necessary for compliance. Additionally, in August 2025, the Attorney-General criticized the government for not implementing sanctions on eligible ultra-Orthodox men who failed to report for duty, suggesting that the absence of sanctions undermines the law's effectiveness. These instances demonstrate a consensus among military and legal authorities that sanctions are essential for the enforcement of recruitment laws.

The government presented a plan to establish a new city specifically for the Haredi community.

The Israeli government has indeed presented plans to establish new cities specifically for the Haredi community. Notably, in February 2026, the government approved an initial move to examine the establishment of 'Plugot,' a new Haredi city adjacent to Kiryat Gat, intended to include up to 30,000 housing units. This initiative aims to provide a long-term housing solution for Israel’s rapidly growing Haredi population while preserving Kiryat Gat’s existing character. Additionally, in January 2026, a large-scale housing plan for the Hasidic community was presented, proposing about 500 housing units in Emmanuel, with plans to expand further. These developments confirm the claim that the government has presented plans to establish new cities specifically for the Haredi community.

Prices are rising and real wages are falling in Israel.

The claim that prices are rising in Israel is accurate, as the annual inflation rate was 2.6% in December 2025, indicating an increase in consumer prices. However, the assertion that real wages are falling is not supported by the available data. Average monthly wages reached a record high of 14,032.40 ILS in August 2025, and with inflation rates decreasing to 1.8% by January 2026, real wages are likely stable or increasing. Therefore, while prices are indeed rising, the claim about falling real wages lacks sufficient evidence.

Netanyahu defended the conscription exemption law after 1200 casualties and 923 soldiers killed in the war.

The claim states that Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu defended the conscription exemption law after 1,200 casualties and 923 soldiers killed in the war. While Netanyahu has indeed supported the conscription exemption law, the specific casualty figures mentioned are not fully corroborated by available data. As of January 2, 2025, the IDF reported 891 soldiers killed since the beginning of the war, with 558 in 2023 and 363 in 2024. The claim's figures are slightly higher and may not reflect the most current data. Additionally, the term 'casualties' can encompass both deaths and injuries, making the 1,200 figure ambiguous. Therefore, while the core of the claim is accurate, the specific numbers provided are somewhat misleading.

The ultra-Orthodox parties do not want to promote an exemption from military service; they want an exemption from bereavement.

The claim suggests that ultra-Orthodox parties seek exemptions from military service primarily to avoid the risk of bereavement. While it's true that these parties advocate for exemptions, their primary motivation is to allow their members to continue full-time religious studies, as military service is seen as a threat to their religious lifestyle. The claim oversimplifies their motivations by focusing solely on the avoidance of bereavement.

The Supreme Court issued an interim order against the transfer of funds because they are illegal.

The Supreme Court issued an interim order freezing the transfer of over one billion shekels to haredi educational institutions, citing concerns about the legality of these transfers. The petitioners argued that the funds were allocated unlawfully to institutions that do not teach core curriculum subjects and lack proper oversight. During the court proceedings, a state representative admitted that 90% of the funds were transferred unlawfully. Therefore, the claim that the Supreme Court issued an interim order against the transfer of funds because they are illegal is accurate.

A temporary injunction has been issued to freeze the transfer of over 1,090,000,000 shekels that were illegally transferred to ultra-Orthodox institutions.

The claim states that a temporary injunction was issued to freeze the transfer of over 1,090,000,000 shekels that were allegedly transferred illegally to ultra-Orthodox institutions. This is accurate. On December 31, 2025, the Israeli Supreme Court issued an interim order freezing the transfer of approximately 1 billion shekels to ultra-Orthodox educational institutions. This decision followed a petition by Yesh Atid party members, including Yair Lapid, who argued that the funds were allocated unlawfully. The court's injunction effectively halted the transfer pending further legal review.

The complaints against Judge Amit are found to be incorrect, according to the complaints commissioner appointed by the government.

The claim states that the complaints against Judge Amit were found to be incorrect by the government's appointed complaints commissioner. While it's true that the vast majority of complaints were dismissed, the commissioner did uphold one complaint regarding a conflict of interest, noting that Judge Amit should have disclosed his brother's involvement in a case he presided over. Therefore, the claim is somewhat misleading as it omits this significant detail.

69,300 educated young Israelis left the country this year according to data from the Central Bureau of Statistics.

The claim that 69,300 Israelis left the country in 2025 is accurate, as reported by Israel's Central Bureau of Statistics. However, the assertion that all these individuals were 'educated young Israelis' lacks specific statistical backing. While reports indicate that a significant portion of emigrants were young and educated, the exact proportion is not specified. Therefore, the claim is somewhat misleading due to the lack of precise data on the demographics of the emigrants.

The protests in Iran are happening due to the high cost of living and the government's failure in economic management, including budget cuts and political appointments in state companies.

The claim accurately reflects the situation in Iran as of late December 2025. Protests erupted due to a sharp collapse of Iran's currency, leading to soaring inflation and deteriorating living conditions. Demonstrators expressed frustration over the government's economic mismanagement, including budget cuts and political appointments in state companies. These factors collectively contributed to the widespread unrest.

Prices have increased for ice cream by 7.4%, legumes by 4.8%, canned goods by 7.6%, coffee by 12%, and chocolate by 18.4% this year.

The claim states that in 2025, prices increased by 7.4% for ice cream, 4.8% for legumes, 7.6% for canned goods, 12% for coffee, and 18.4% for chocolate. However, data from Israel's Central Bureau of Statistics indicates that in December 2025, the food price index increased by 0.3%, with specific increases of 2.8% for coffee and 2.4% for chocolate. Other items like ice cream and legumes showed decreases of 1.0% and 1.6%, respectively. While some products did experience price hikes, the percentages cited in the claim are significantly higher than the official statistics, leading a reasonable person to believe in a more severe inflation than actually occurred.

In the previous government, we dramatically reduced crime rates before Ben Gvir took office.

The claim states that the previous government dramatically reduced crime rates before Ben Gvir took office. However, available data indicates that Israel's homicide rate increased from 1.43 per 100,000 people in 2020 to 1.94 in 2021, a 36.18% rise. This trend suggests that crime rates were not dramatically reduced during the previous government's tenure. Therefore, the claim is false.

A terrorist attack occurred in the north, resulting in the murder of two Israelis.

On December 26, 2025, a Palestinian man carried out a combined car-ramming and stabbing attack in northern Israel, resulting in the deaths of two Israeli civilians: 68-year-old Shimshon Mordechai and 18-year-old Aviv Maor. This incident has been widely reported and confirmed by multiple reputable sources.

The Prime Minister committed not to engage in the Qatar Gate affair during the appointment of David Zini as head of the Shin Bet, and the Supreme Court turned this into a binding instruction.

The claim that the Prime Minister committed not to engage in the Qatar Gate affair during the appointment of David Zini as head of the Shin Bet, and that the Supreme Court turned this into a binding instruction, is partially accurate. While the Supreme Court did approve a compromise stipulating that the appointed Shin Bet chief would not engage in matters related to the 'Qatargate' affair until a formal conflict-of-interest arrangement was established by the Attorney General, it does not explicitly state that the Prime Minister himself committed to non-involvement. Therefore, the claim is somewhat misleading as it conflates the restrictions placed on the Shin Bet chief with those on the Prime Minister.

Netanyahu was the Prime Minister on October 7th, and no cover-up committee will help him escape that fact.

Benjamin Netanyahu was indeed the Prime Minister of Israel on October 7, 2023, when the Hamas-led attack occurred. ([en.wikipedia.org](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Benjamin_Netanyahu?utm_source=openai)) The claim also suggests that no committee, implied to be a 'cover-up' committee, will help him evade responsibility for the events of that day. This reflects public sentiment and criticism regarding Netanyahu's handling of the situation and his attempts to control the narrative through inquiries perceived as biased. ([aljazeera.com](https://www.aljazeera.com/news/2025/12/20/netanyahu-finally-announces-october-7-inquiry-why-are-israelis-furious?utm_source=openai)) Therefore, the claim is accurate in stating Netanyahu's position during the attack and the public perception of his accountability.

923 casualties occurred in the last two years to protect a group of draft dodgers who block roads and shout 'the army is worse than death'.

The claim states that 923 Israeli soldiers have died in the past two years to protect a group of draft dodgers who block roads and chant 'the army is worse than death.' Official data indicates that 891 IDF soldiers were killed between October 7, 2023, and early 2025, which is close to the number mentioned. Additionally, there have been protests by ultra-Orthodox groups against military conscription, with slogans like 'better death than the army.' However, the claim implies a direct causation between the soldiers' deaths and the actions of these protesters, which is not supported by evidence. The soldiers' deaths occurred primarily due to combat operations against Hamas and other adversaries, not specifically to protect these protesters. Therefore, while the numbers and events are accurate, the framing is misleading.

The government is failing to act against ultra-Orthodox draft dodgers who are avoiding arrest due to their violent actions, and the Defense Minister and Prime Minister are encouraging large-scale draft evasion and refusal.

The claim asserts that the government is failing to act against ultra-Orthodox draft dodgers who avoid arrest through violent actions, and that the Defense Minister and Prime Minister are encouraging large-scale draft evasion and refusal. While there have been instances of ultra-Orthodox protests against conscription, some involving clashes with police, there is no substantial evidence indicating that these individuals are avoiding arrest solely due to their violent actions. Additionally, the Israeli Supreme Court has mandated the government to enforce policies against draft evasion, including criminal proceedings and economic sanctions. However, reports suggest that the government has been slow to implement these measures, and proposed legislation has been criticized for potentially maintaining the status quo. Therefore, while the government may not be effectively enforcing draft laws, the claim that officials are actively encouraging draft evasion is an overstatement.

The government steals 60 billion shekels every year from the middle class and gives it to draft dodgers and corrupt individuals.

The claim that the government 'steals 60 billion shekels every year from the middle class and gives it to draft dodgers and corrupt individuals' is misleading. While there have been allocations in the budget that some critics argue favor certain groups, such as the ultra-Orthodox community, the specific figure of 60 billion shekels lacks substantiation. For instance, in the 2026 budget, over 5 billion shekels were allocated to haredi institutions and settlements, which is significantly less than the claimed amount. Additionally, the term 'steals' implies illegal activity, whereas these allocations are legally approved budgetary decisions. Therefore, the claim exaggerates the extent of the allocations and misrepresents the nature of the budgetary process.

The opposition will not cooperate with the coalition's proposal to establish a commission of inquiry regarding October 7th.

The opposition has publicly stated its refusal to cooperate with the coalition's proposal to establish a commission of inquiry into the events of October 7. Opposition leaders have criticized the proposed commission as a 'whitewash committee' designed to absolve the government of responsibility. They advocate for an independent state commission of inquiry instead. This stance is corroborated by multiple sources, including statements from opposition leader Yair Lapid and reports on the opposition's boycott of Knesset debates advancing the government's bill.

The proposal to raise salaries for Knesset members during a time when the middle class is struggling with the cost of living is disgraceful and disconnected from reality.

The claim criticizes a proposal to raise Knesset members' salaries during a period when Israel's middle class is struggling with the high cost of living. Recent reports indicate that the cost of living in Israel has been rising significantly, with the State Comptroller noting that it is 'skyrocketing' and placing a heavy burden on households. Additionally, a survey revealed that approximately one-third of Israeli households are struggling to cope financially. Therefore, the claim accurately reflects the current economic challenges faced by the middle class in Israel.

Over 1,200 people have been killed and more than 920 soldiers have died in the last two years.

The claim states that over 1,200 people have been killed and more than 920 soldiers have died in the last two years. According to available data, from October 7, 2023, to May 2025, approximately 1,200 Israelis were killed, including both civilians and soldiers. Specifically, 891 IDF soldiers died between October 7, 2023, and January 2, 2025, and an additional 151 soldiers died in 2025, totaling 1,042 soldier deaths. While the total number of deaths aligns with the claim, the breakdown between civilians and soldiers differs. The claim underestimates civilian deaths and overestimates soldier deaths, leading to a somewhat misleading impression of the actual figures.

Germany has lifted the arms embargo on Israel.

The claim that Germany has lifted the arms embargo on Israel is accurate. In August 2025, Germany imposed a partial suspension on arms exports to Israel, particularly those that could be used in Gaza. This decision was reversed on November 24, 2025, following a ceasefire between Israel and Hamas, with Germany resuming arms exports on a case-by-case basis. This information is corroborated by multiple reputable sources, including Amnesty International and Al Jazeera.

The Knesset approved my proposal to adopt President Donald Trump's 20-point plan.

The Knesset approved the proposal initiated by Opposition Leader Yair Lapid to adopt President Donald Trump's 20-point plan. The vote passed with 39 members in favor and none against, as coalition members abstained from participating.

The Knesset approved a proposal to endorse and adopt President Trump’s 20 point plan on Gaza with a vote of 39 in favor and 0 against.

The claim that the Knesset approved a proposal to endorse and adopt President Trump's 20-point plan on Gaza with a vote of 39 in favor and 0 against is accurate in terms of the vote count and the proposal's content. However, the framing as 'overwhelmingly approved' omits critical context: the vote occurred in the absence of most coalition members, including Prime Minister Netanyahu, who boycotted the session. This absence indicates a lack of broad consensus within the Knesset, suggesting that the approval was not as comprehensive as the claim implies.

The government is taking 60 billion shekels from tax evaders, harming the Israeli middle class.

The claim that the government is taking 60 billion shekels from tax evaders, harming the Israeli middle class, is somewhat misleading. While the government has implemented measures to increase tax revenues, including targeting tax evasion and introducing new taxes, there is no specific evidence of a 60 billion shekel collection from tax evaders. Additionally, some of these measures, such as the special tax on bank profits and reforms in high-tech taxation, are aimed at sectors beyond the middle class. However, concerns have been raised that certain tax policies may disproportionately affect the middle class, suggesting that the overall impact on this demographic is complex and not solely due to actions against tax evaders.

Netanyahu is avoiding discussion because he knows we are aware of the details of the law and he cannot defend it.

Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu did cancel a planned statement on the controversial haredi (ultra-Orthodox) conscription bill on December 2, 2025, citing 'scheduling constraints.' Opposition leader Yair Lapid interpreted this cancellation as an avoidance tactic, suggesting Netanyahu knew the opposition was familiar with the bill's details and couldn't defend it. However, without direct evidence of Netanyahu's intent, attributing the cancellation solely to an inability to defend the bill is speculative. Therefore, while the cancellation occurred, the claim about Netanyahu's motive is somewhat misleading.

The government has rejected my law to nationalize KKL.

The claim that the government rejected a law to nationalize Keren Kayemeth LeIsrael (KKL) is accurate. On November 5, 2025, Yesh Atid leader Yair Lapid announced his party's withdrawal from the World Zionist Organization and called for the nationalization of KKL, citing systemic corruption. Subsequently, the Knesset voted down Yesh Atid's bill to nationalize KKL, with both opposition and coalition members clashing over the proposal. Lapid accused his rivals of corruption in response to the rejection.

There have been more than 920 deaths and over 20,000 injuries in the last two years.

The claim that there have been more than 920 deaths and over 20,000 injuries in the last two years is supported by multiple sources. By early February 2025, Israeli authorities reported approximately 845 soldiers and 69 police officers killed, totaling 914 deaths. Additionally, the Israeli Defense Ministry Rehabilitation Department observed more than 20,000 wounded service members since October 7, 2023, with mental health casualties comprising 56% of cases. These figures align with the claim, confirming its accuracy.

Two hostages remain in the Gaza Strip.

As of November 26, 2025, the claim that two hostages remained in the Gaza Strip is accurate. Reports from that date confirm that the bodies of two murdered hostages were still held in Gaza: Sudthisak Rinthalak, 43, from Thailand, and Ran Gvili, 24, from Israel. This information is corroborated by multiple sources, including the Jewish Federation of Greater Dallas and the United Nations Office for the Coordination of Humanitarian Affairs.

The Supreme Court announced that the mass exemption factory funded by the coalition is illegal and should not allow any funds to be transferred to exempt Haredim.

The Israeli Supreme Court unanimously ruled on November 19, 2025, that the government's broad exemptions for Haredi yeshiva students from military service are illegal and discriminatory. The court ordered the government to develop an effective enforcement policy within 45 days, including criminal and economic sanctions against draft evaders. Additionally, the ruling emphasized that the state must cease providing benefits to yeshiva students who avoid enlistment, as their continued presence in yeshivas implies evasion of the draft duty. This aligns with the claim that the Supreme Court declared the mass exemption system funded by the coalition illegal and prohibited the transfer of funds to exempt Haredim.

Netanyahu announced that he accepts the Security Council's decision including the principle of 'unifying the arenas' due to American pressure.

The claim that Netanyahu announced his acceptance of the Security Council's decision, including the principle of 'unifying the arenas,' due to American pressure, is partially accurate. Netanyahu did welcome the UN resolution adopting the U.S. postwar Gaza plan, which includes elements of regional integration. However, he did not explicitly mention 'unifying the arenas' or acknowledge American pressure in his statements. Opposition leader Yair Lapid criticized Netanyahu, asserting that the acceptance was under U.S. pressure and marked a shift from Netanyahu's previous policy of separating Gaza from the West Bank. While Lapid's critique suggests American influence, Netanyahu's public statements do not confirm this. Therefore, the claim is somewhat misleading as it presents an interpretation not directly supported by Netanyahu's own statements.

There is broad public agreement on the need for a state commission of inquiry.

Multiple surveys conducted in late 2025 indicate strong public support in Israel for establishing a state commission of inquiry into the events of October 7, 2023. The Jewish People Policy Institute's November 2025 survey found that 88% of Israelis support opening such a commission. Similarly, the Institute for National Security Studies' October 2025 survey reported that 74% of the public supports establishing a state commission of inquiry, with support spanning both coalition (52%) and opposition (92%) voters. These findings demonstrate broad public agreement on the need for a state commission of inquiry.

The F35 deal was never part of the normalization agreement with Saudi Arabia because Israel's security requires maintaining a qualitative advantage.

The claim asserts that the F-35 deal was never part of the normalization agreement with Saudi Arabia due to Israel's need to maintain a qualitative military edge. While it's true that Israel has consistently emphasized preserving its qualitative military edge and has expressed concerns over F-35 sales to regional neighbors, reports indicate that Israel communicated to the U.S. that any F-35 sale to Saudi Arabia should be contingent upon Saudi Arabia normalizing relations with Israel. This suggests that the F-35 deal was indeed linked to normalization discussions, contrary to the claim that it was 'never part' of the agreement.

Meni Godard, who was kidnapped and murdered over two years ago, has been returned to Israel.

The claim accurately states that Meni Godard, who was kidnapped and murdered over two years ago, has been returned to Israel. Godard, a 73-year-old resident of Kibbutz Be'eri, was killed during the October 7, 2023, attack by Palestinian Islamic Jihad terrorists, and his body was taken into Gaza. His remains were returned to Israel on November 13, 2025, confirming the timeline mentioned in the claim.

Israeli law states that the first condition for receiving a pardon is an admission of guilt and expressing remorse for the actions.

While Israeli law does not explicitly require an admission of guilt and expression of remorse as conditions for receiving a pardon, legal experts and precedents indicate that such admissions are typically expected. For instance, in the 1984 Bus 300 affair, individuals admitted guilt before being pardoned. Legal scholars argue that granting a pardon without an admission of guilt is highly unusual and could undermine the rule of law. Therefore, the claim is somewhat misleading as it overstates the legal requirements.

The decision to close Galei Tzahal during an election year is an attempt to change the rules by a government that is afraid of criticism and knows it will lose the elections.

The claim suggests that the government's decision to close Galei Tzahal during an election year is an attempt to suppress criticism due to fear of losing the elections. While it's true that Defense Minister Israel Katz announced the closure of Galei Tzahal in November 2025, citing the need to preserve the IDF's nonpartisan character, there is no direct evidence linking this decision to an attempt to change election rules or suppress criticism. The closure has been met with legal challenges, including a Supreme Court freeze on the decision, indicating ongoing debate about its implications. Therefore, while the timing and context raise questions, the claim lacks concrete evidence to fully support its assertion.

There are still 5 deceased hostages in Gaza that must be returned.

As of November 8, 2025, reports indicate that there were five deceased hostages whose remains were still held in Gaza. This aligns with the claim made on that date.

There is a decision that Yesh Atid will not be part of any agreements with Zionist institutions.

Yesh Atid leader Yair Lapid announced on November 5, 2025, that the party decided not to participate in any agreements within Zionist institutions, citing corruption and political cronyism. This decision included withdrawing from the World Zionist Organization and rejecting positions within the organization. Multiple sources confirm this announcement and the reasons provided.

The corruption scandal in the Histadrut is a story of the corrupt Likud center.

The Histadrut corruption scandal primarily involved senior officials within the labor federation, notably Chairman Arnon Bar-David, who were implicated in bribery and fraud schemes. While the investigation did explore potential connections to senior Likud ministers, no concrete evidence has been publicly disclosed linking the scandal directly to the Likud party or its central committee. Therefore, characterizing the scandal as a story of the 'corrupt Likud center' is an exaggeration that lacks substantiated evidence.

Itamar Ben Gvir is a senior minister in the current government.

Itamar Ben-Gvir has been serving as Israel's Minister of National Security since March 2025, following his reappointment after a brief resignation in January 2025. Therefore, as of November 3, 2025, he holds a senior ministerial position in the current government.

The bodies of the kidnapped soldiers, Captain Omer Nautra, Colonel Asaf Hamami, and Sergeant Oz Daniel, have been returned for burial in Israel.

The claim that the bodies of Captain Omer Neutra, Colonel Asaf Hamami, and Sergeant Oz Daniel have been returned for burial in Israel is accurate. These soldiers were killed during the October 7, 2023, attacks and their bodies were abducted to Gaza by Hamas. On November 2, 2025, Hamas returned their remains to Israel, where they were identified and prepared for burial. This information is corroborated by multiple sources, including The Yeshiva World and Jewish News.

There was an anti-Zionist protest in Jerusalem where Israeli flags were burned and calls were made for Israel to be considered an enemy state.

Reports confirm that on October 31, 2025, anti-Zionist Jews burned the Israeli flag at the Sabbath Square intersection in Jerusalem, aiming to highlight the distinction between Judaism and Zionism. Additionally, in February 2025, Jerusalem police confiscated Palestinian flags and anti-Zionist posters in the Mea Shearim neighborhood, indicating ongoing anti-Zionist activities in the area. These events substantiate the claim of anti-Zionist protests in Jerusalem involving the burning of Israeli flags and calls for Israel to be considered an enemy state.

Young people who are able to march in the streets can also serve in the military to defend Israel.

The claim suggests that young individuals participating in street protests are physically capable of serving in the military. While it's true that physical capability is a requirement for military service, the claim overlooks the complex socio-religious reasons many ultra-Orthodox Jews oppose conscription. Their resistance is rooted in religious beliefs and cultural practices, not necessarily physical ability. Therefore, the statement is somewhat misleading as it simplifies a multifaceted issue.

The Likud party attempted to appoint Yair Netanyahu to a senior position in Zionist institutions with a ministerial salary and benefits, but Yesh Atid discovered this at the last moment and prevented the appointment.

In late October 2025, the Likud party, through Minister Miki Zohar, proposed appointing Yair Netanyahu, son of Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu, to a senior position in the World Zionist Organization (WZO), specifically as head of the Public Diplomacy Department. This role included a salary and benefits comparable to those of a government minister. The appointment was part of a broader political agreement within the WZO. However, the opposition party Yesh Atid, upon discovering the proposed appointment, strongly objected, describing it as a 'disgraceful decision' and withdrew from the agreement, effectively preventing the appointment from proceeding. The vote on Yair Netanyahu's appointment was subsequently postponed by two weeks and ultimately did not occur. These events align with the claim made in the tweet.

Netanyahu was Prime Minister on October 7, 2023, and only a state commission of inquiry can examine why he did not prepare and ignored all warnings.

Benjamin Netanyahu was indeed the Prime Minister of Israel on October 7, 2023. Reports indicate that he received multiple warnings from the Intelligence Division between March and July 2023 about potential threats, which he reportedly ignored. Additionally, there have been calls for a state commission of inquiry to investigate the events leading up to October 7, 2023, and the government's preparedness and response. Therefore, the claim that only a state commission of inquiry can examine why Netanyahu did not prepare and ignored all warnings is accurate.

A law regarding military service exemption was presented to the Foreign Affairs and Defense Committee at the same time as a person was killed in Gaza.

On October 28, 2025, Chief Sgt. First Class (Res.) Yona Efraim Feldbaum was killed by Hamas sniper fire in Rafah, Gaza. The following day, October 29, 2025, a law regarding military service exemption was presented to the Foreign Affairs and Defense Committee. The claim accurately states that the law was presented at the same time as the soldier's death occurred.

The majority of the public, including the President, believes that anything other than a legally appointed state commission of inquiry is an attempt to deceive, conceal, and evade responsibility.

The claim states that the majority of the public, including the President, believes that anything other than a legally appointed state commission of inquiry is an attempt to deceive, conceal, and evade responsibility. According to a survey by the Institute for National Security Studies (INSS) published on November 3, 2025, a large majority of the Israeli public supports establishing a state commission of inquiry following the events of October 7. Additionally, reports indicate that more than 70% of Israelis favor an independent state commission of inquiry, similar to those established in the past to investigate major state-level failures. While specific statements from the President are not detailed in the provided sources, the substantial public support aligns with the claim.

Netanyahu announced that he won the war, despite being the Prime Minister on October 7th and bringing about the greatest disaster since the Holocaust.

The claim states that Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu announced victory in the war, despite being in office during the October 7, 2023, Hamas attack, which resulted in significant casualties and is described as the greatest disaster since the Holocaust. While Netanyahu did declare the war a 'complete victory' and referred to it as the 'War of Redemption' on October 19, 2025, the claim's framing suggests a direct causation between his leadership and the attack. This overlooks the complexities of the situation, including intelligence failures and broader security lapses. Therefore, while the core facts are accurate, the framing lacks nuance, leading to a somewhat misleading impression.

The government allowed Turkey and Qatar, ideological partners of the Muslim Brotherhood, into Gaza.

The claim that the government allowed Turkey and Qatar, ideological partners of the Muslim Brotherhood, into Gaza is partially accurate. Turkey and Qatar have been involved in Gaza-related discussions and mediation efforts. For instance, Turkish and Qatari officials have engaged in talks to preserve the Gaza ceasefire and discuss the second phase of the Gaza ceasefire deal. However, Turkey was excluded from a U.S.-led military conference on post-war Gaza in Qatar, reportedly due to Israeli opposition. Therefore, while Turkey and Qatar have been involved in diplomatic efforts concerning Gaza, the extent of their direct involvement in Gaza is limited, making the claim somewhat misleading.

On September 20, 2023, I warned of a major security disaster, but Netanyahu dismissed it as an exaggeration.

On September 20, 2023, Yair Lapid, then the opposition leader, publicly warned of an impending security disaster, expressing concerns about escalating violence and loss of deterrence. He criticized Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu for not taking sufficient action in response to these warnings. Netanyahu, in turn, dismissed these concerns, suggesting that such warnings were exaggerated. This sequence of events is well-documented in multiple sources, confirming the accuracy of the claim.

After the failed attack in Doha, Trump thought Netanyahu lost control and forced him into an agreement that Netanyahu did not want.

The claim suggests that after a failed Israeli attack in Doha, President Trump believed Prime Minister Netanyahu had lost control and subsequently forced him into an unwanted agreement. While it's true that Israel conducted an attack in Doha targeting Hamas officials, and that Trump exerted significant pressure on Netanyahu to accept a ceasefire deal, the assertion that Trump thought Netanyahu had 'lost control' is not directly supported by available evidence. Additionally, Netanyahu did express support for the agreement, indicating some level of concurrence. Therefore, the claim is somewhat misleading due to the lack of direct evidence regarding Trump's perception of Netanyahu's control and the implication that Netanyahu was entirely opposed to the agreement.

Egypt could have managed Gaza and helped us fight Hamas, but Netanyahu's lack of control led to Turkey and Qatar's involvement, which are ideologically aligned with Hamas.

The claim suggests that Egypt could have managed Gaza and assisted Israel in combating Hamas, but Netanyahu's lack of control led to Turkey and Qatar's involvement, both ideologically aligned with Hamas. While Egypt has historically acted as a mediator and has been involved in ceasefire negotiations, there is no clear evidence that Egypt was willing or able to take over the administration of Gaza. Additionally, Netanyahu's government permitted Qatari financial support to Hamas since 2018, aiming to divide Hamas from the Palestinian Authority. However, attributing Turkey and Qatar's involvement solely to Netanyahu's actions oversimplifies the complex regional dynamics and the roles these countries have played. Therefore, the claim is somewhat misleading as it presents an incomplete picture of the situation.

The Israeli government has never been described in this way by an American administration.

In an October 2025 interview on CBS's '60 Minutes,' Jared Kushner, a senior advisor to President Trump, stated that Trump felt 'the Israelis were getting a little bit out of control' following Israel's botched September 9 strike on Hamas leadership in Doha. This characterization of the Israeli government's actions as 'out of control' is notably critical and unprecedented in the context of U.S. administrations' public statements about Israel. Opposition Leader Yair Lapid highlighted the uniqueness of this description, stating that 'no Israeli government has ever been described this way by an American administration.'

The 'Bismuth Document' is not a law; it is a way for them to say there is no law.

The 'Bismuth Document' refers to an outline submitted by MK Boaz Bismuth in October 2025, aiming to guide the formulation of a draft law concerning the conscription of haredi (ultra-Orthodox) individuals into the IDF. At the time of the claim, this document was not yet law but served as a basis for legislative development. However, characterizing it as 'a way for them to say there is no law' overlooks its role in the legislative process and the intent to establish a legal framework for conscription. Therefore, while it's accurate that the document was not a law at that moment, the implication that it was merely a means to avoid legislation is misleading.

The president saved the lives of the hostages and many more, including families of the deceased and soldiers who would not fall in battle.

The claim acknowledges President Trump's role in securing the release of 20 Israeli hostages from Hamas captivity in October 2025, which is accurate. However, the assertion that he 'saved the souls of the bereaved' and 'saved thousands of soldiers who will now not fall in battle' is more interpretative and lacks concrete evidence. While the peace deal may have prevented further conflict, attributing the salvation of thousands of soldiers' lives directly to the president is speculative. Therefore, the claim is somewhat misleading due to its extrapolation beyond verifiable facts.

President Trump has returned hostages and brought peace to the region.

President Trump played a significant role in negotiating the release of hostages held by Hamas and facilitated a ceasefire between Israel and Hamas in October 2025. This led to the return of 20 living hostages and the release of Palestinian prisoners, marking a substantial step toward peace in the region. However, while these actions contributed to de-escalation, they did not fully resolve all underlying conflicts or achieve comprehensive peace. Therefore, the claim that he 'brought peace to the region' is somewhat misleading, as it overstates the extent of the peace achieved.

The safety net promised for a hostage deal is real.

The claim that the 'safety net' promised for a hostage deal is real is supported by multiple sources. Israeli Opposition Leader Yair Lapid stated that Prime Minister Netanyahu has full political backing for advancing future hostage deals, emphasizing that such agreements pose no risk to the current government's stability. This indicates that the political 'safety net' is indeed in place to support the hostage deal.

The majority in the Knesset and the majority of the Israeli public support the Trump deal.

The claim that a 'clear majority' in the Knesset and among the Israeli public support the Trump deal is partially accurate but lacks nuance. While President Trump's address to the Knesset on October 13, 2025, was met with enthusiastic applause, indicating significant support among legislators, the political landscape is complex. Hard-right members of Prime Minister Netanyahu’s coalition, such as Finance Minister Bezalel Smotrich, opposed the Trump plan, citing ideological differences. Public opinion surveys from October 2025 show that while there was substantial support for ending the war and releasing hostages, skepticism remained about the long-term effectiveness of the agreement. Therefore, while there is considerable support, the claim overstates the unanimity and overlooks significant opposition within both the Knesset and the public.

Israel was the only candidate in the Middle East for a defense agreement with the US until Trump announced a defense and cooperation agreement with Qatar, which is a diplomatic failure for Netanyahu's government.

The claim suggests that Israel was the sole candidate in the Middle East for a defense agreement with the U.S. until President Trump announced a defense and cooperation agreement with Qatar, labeling this as a significant diplomatic failure for Netanyahu's government. While it's true that the U.S. and Israel have a longstanding security relationship, they do not have a formal mutual defense pact akin to NATO's Article 5. In contrast, in October 2025, President Trump signed an executive order pledging to defend Qatar if attacked, a commitment resembling NATO's mutual defense clause. This development marked a significant shift in U.S. foreign policy, as no other Arab nation had previously received such a guarantee. However, the claim's framing as an unprecedented diplomatic failure for Netanyahu's government is somewhat misleading, as it overlooks the complex and evolving nature of international relations and defense agreements in the region.

Donald Trump's 20-point plan is the best option currently available.

The claim that Donald Trump's 20-point plan is the best option currently available is subjective and reflects the speaker's opinion. While the plan, announced on September 29, 2025, aims to end the Gaza conflict through measures like a ceasefire, hostage exchanges, and Gaza's redevelopment, it has faced criticism for lacking binding commitments from Israel and excluding Palestinian participation. Therefore, presenting it as the 'best option' without acknowledging these critiques provides an incomplete picture.

Netanyahu should apologize to the citizens of Israel for the events of October 7, the political destruction, the attempt to promote a draft law during wartime, and for establishing the most extreme and destructive government in the country's history.

The claim asserts that Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu should apologize to Israeli citizens for several issues: the events of October 7, political destruction, attempting to promote a draft law during wartime, and establishing an extreme government. While it's true that Netanyahu faced significant criticism for his handling of the October 7 attacks and subsequent actions, the claim presents a subjective viewpoint. The characterization of his government as "the most extreme and destructive" is an opinion rather than a verifiable fact. Therefore, while the claim is rooted in real events and criticisms, it lacks the necessary context and objectivity to be fully accurate.

The government could have done construction work on Saturday to prevent traffic jams, which was done in the past by previous governments.

The claim asserts that previous Israeli governments conducted construction work on Saturdays to prevent traffic jams, but the current government does not, leading to significant congestion. Evidence supports this: in August 2018, Transportation Minister Yisrael Katz canceled planned Sabbath work on the Ayalon Highway due to political pressure, causing weekday traffic disruptions. Similarly, in May 2024, roadwork on the Ayalon Highway was moved from the weekend to Thursday, resulting in extensive traffic jams, following demands from ultra-Orthodox lawmakers to avoid Sabbath work. These instances indicate a shift in policy under certain governments, aligning with the claim that earlier administrations permitted Saturday construction to mitigate traffic, whereas the current government refrains from such practices, leading to increased congestion.

Netanyahu did not present a plan for the return of hostages or a way to end the war, and Hamas has not been defeated after two years.

On September 26, 2025, Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu delivered a speech at the United Nations General Assembly that was criticized for lacking a clear plan to secure the return of hostages or to end the ongoing conflict with Hamas. However, shortly thereafter, on September 29, 2025, Netanyahu endorsed a peace plan proposed by U.S. President Donald Trump, which included provisions for a ceasefire and the release of hostages. This indicates that while the initial speech may have lacked specific proposals, subsequent actions addressed these concerns.

Germany is the only country that will definitely oppose sanctions on Israel and has already informed the European Union of this.

The claim that Germany is the only country that will definitely oppose sanctions on Israel and has already informed the European Union of this is somewhat misleading. While Germany has indeed opposed EU sanctions on Israel, other countries, such as Hungary, Austria, and the Czech Republic, have also resisted such measures. Therefore, Germany is not the sole opponent. Additionally, Germany's position has been a subject of internal debate, with coalition partners urging the government to reconsider its stance. Thus, while Germany's opposition is significant, the claim overstates its uniqueness.

The unilateral recognition of a Palestinian state by Britain, Australia, and Canada is a political disaster and a reward for terrorism.

The claim that the unilateral recognition of a Palestinian state by Britain, Australia, and Canada is a political disaster and a reward for terrorism is misleading. While these countries did recognize a Palestinian state on September 21, 2025, their leaders explicitly stated that this move was intended to support a two-state solution and was not a reward for terrorism. For instance, British Prime Minister Keir Starmer emphasized that the recognition was to 'revive hope of peace for the Palestinians and Israelis' and clarified that Hamas 'can have no future, no role in government, no role in security.' Similarly, Australian Prime Minister Anthony Albanese stated that the recognition reflects Australia's commitment to a two-state solution, and Canadian Prime Minister Mark Carney offered partnership in building a peaceful future for both Palestine and Israel. Therefore, characterizing these recognitions as a reward for terrorism distorts the stated intentions of these governments.

Four cadets were killed in Gaza, two fighters were killed at the Allenby crossing, and hostages are dying in tunnels.

The claim accurately reports that four Israeli soldiers were killed in Gaza and two at the Allenby Crossing in September 2025. However, the statement about hostages 'dying in tunnels' lacks specific evidence or corroboration from available sources, making it unverified. Therefore, while the claim is mostly accurate, the unsubstantiated part renders it somewhat misleading.

Four soldiers were killed in battle in the Gaza Strip.

The claim that four soldiers were killed in battle in the Gaza Strip is accurate. On September 18, 2025, four Israeli Defense Forces (IDF) soldiers were killed and three others wounded when their Hummer transport vehicle ran over an improvised explosive device in Rafah, southern Gaza. The soldiers were identified as Major Omri Chai Ben Moshe, Lieutenant Ron Arieli, Lieutenant Eitan Avner Ben Itzhak, and Lieutenant Eran Shelem. This incident was widely reported by reputable sources, including The Jerusalem Post.

There was a serious attack today at the Allenby crossing where two Israelis were killed.

On September 18, 2025, a Jordanian truck driver, Abdul Muttalib Al-Qaisi, opened fire at the Allenby Bridge border crossing between the West Bank and Jordan, resulting in the deaths of two Israelis: 68-year-old Lieutenant Colonel Yitzhak Harosh and 20-year-old Sergeant Oran Hershko. The attacker was subsequently killed by Israeli security forces. This information is corroborated by multiple reputable sources, including Al Jazeera and The Jerusalem Post.

There are 100,000 potential recruits in the diaspora.

The claim that there are 100,000 potential recruits in the diaspora is based on IDF assessments estimating over 10,000 eligible individuals per age cohort in large Jewish communities, leading to a total exceeding 100,000. However, this figure represents potential recruits, not actual enlistments. The IDF has initiated programs to encourage diaspora youth to enlist, but the actual number of recruits from these efforts is significantly lower. Therefore, while the number reflects potential, it may give an exaggerated impression of immediate recruitment capabilities.

The cost of the F-35 aircraft used to bomb Iran is significant.

The F-35 aircraft incurs substantial operational costs. As of 2026, the cost per flight hour for the F-35A model is estimated to be between $34,000 and $36,000. This figure encompasses expenses such as fuel, maintenance, spare parts, and contractor support. Given these high operational costs, the claim that the cost of the F-35 aircraft used to bomb Iran is significant is accurate.

Under Netanyahu's leadership, Israel's credit rating was downgraded for the first time in history, and then again.

The claim states that under Netanyahu's leadership, Israel's credit rating was downgraded for the first time in history, and then again. While it's true that during Netanyahu's tenure, Israel experienced its first-ever credit rating downgrade by major agencies—Moody's downgraded Israel's rating from A1 to A2 in February 2024, and S&P followed by lowering it from AA- to A+ in April 2024—these downgrades were primarily attributed to the ongoing war with Hamas and other geopolitical risks, rather than solely to Netanyahu's economic policies. Therefore, while the downgrades occurred under his leadership, attributing them directly to his governance without acknowledging the significant impact of external conflicts is somewhat misleading.

Netanyahu is to blame for the diplomatic isolation, and this situation can be fixed.

The claim that Netanyahu is responsible for Israel's diplomatic isolation is partially supported by evidence. In September 2025, Netanyahu himself acknowledged Israel's growing diplomatic isolation, stating that the country is entering 'a kind of isolation' and may need to adapt to a more self-sufficient economy. This admission suggests a recognition of the issue. However, attributing the isolation solely to Netanyahu's actions overlooks other contributing factors, such as international reactions to Israel's policies and regional dynamics. Therefore, while there is some truth to the claim, it lacks full context.

The stock market is in sharp decline, the economy is slowing down, and working people are the first to be affected. This government is destroying the economy.

The claim that "the stock market is in sharp decline" is somewhat misleading. While the Tel Aviv Stock Exchange 35 Index experienced a decline of approximately 4.3% over six days in mid-September 2025, marking the longest losing streak in 18 months, this drop was relatively modest and not indicative of a sharp decline. Additionally, the assertion that "the economy is slowing down" lacks context. Although there was a 3.5% contraction in GDP during Q2 2025 due to the war with Iran, the economy rebounded with a 12.4% annualized growth rate in Q3 2025. Therefore, while there were short-term economic challenges, the overall economic trajectory showed signs of recovery.

The operation in Qatar failed and Netanyahu is trying to cover it up.

On September 9, 2025, Israel conducted an airstrike in Doha, Qatar, targeting Hamas leadership. The operation failed to eliminate senior Hamas leaders, resulting instead in the deaths of lower-ranking members. This outcome led to significant international criticism and strained diplomatic relations, particularly with Qatar, which condemned the attack as a violation of its sovereignty. Reports indicate that Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu faced backlash for the operation's failure and subsequent handling, with some sources suggesting attempts to mitigate the fallout. Therefore, the claim that the operation in Qatar failed and that Netanyahu is attempting to cover it up is supported by available evidence.

My visit to the U.S. is a diplomatic visit because I met with key Democratic senators and a Republican senator who leads the subcommittee on the Middle East.

The claim states that the visit to the U.S. is diplomatic because it included meetings with key Democratic senators and Republican Senator Dave McCormick, who chairs the Senate Foreign Relations Subcommittee on Near East, South Asia, Central Asia, and Counterterrorism. Senator McCormick's position is confirmed by multiple sources, including his official Senate website and news reports. Therefore, the claim accurately describes the nature of the visit and the officials involved.

142 countries voted against us at the UN

The claim that '142 countries voted against us at the UN' refers to the UN General Assembly's adoption of the 'New York Declaration' on September 12, 2025. This resolution, which endorsed a two-state solution and called for the recognition of a Palestinian state, was supported by 142 countries, with 10 voting against (including Israel and the United States) and 12 abstentions. Therefore, the claim accurately reflects the voting outcome of this specific UN resolution.

The OECD report on education shows that classrooms in Israel are the most crowded after Chile, teacher salaries are lower, and about one-fifth of teachers resign in the first years. Students study more hours but have lower achievements, and inequality is high.

The claim accurately highlights several challenges in Israel's education system, such as large class sizes and lower teacher salaries. However, it misrepresents teacher attrition rates. The OECD report indicates that Israel has low overall teacher turnover, with 1.5% retiring and 0.6% resigning annually. Notably, 68% of those resigning have less than five years of experience, but this does not equate to one-fifth of all teachers resigning early. Additionally, while Israeli students receive more instruction hours than the OECD average, the claim lacks specific data on student achievements and inequality levels to fully substantiate these points.

A terrible attack occurred this morning in Jerusalem where four innocent Israelis were killed.

The claim states that four innocent Israelis were killed in an attack in Jerusalem on the morning of September 8, 2025. However, multiple reputable sources report that six Israelis were killed in the attack. For instance, Al Jazeera reported that six people were killed and at least 12 injured in the shooting at Ramot Junction in East Jerusalem. Similarly, The Jerusalem Post identified the six victims by name. Therefore, while the claim correctly identifies the occurrence of a deadly attack, it underreports the number of fatalities, leading to an incomplete understanding of the event.

Benjamin Netanyahu's management of security affairs endangers the citizens of Israel and has resulted in loss of life.

The claim that Benjamin Netanyahu's management of security affairs endangers Israeli citizens and has resulted in loss of life is partially supported by evidence. Reports indicate significant security challenges during his tenure, including a 55% increase in cyber incidents in 2025 and criticisms from the State Comptroller regarding failures in protecting critical infrastructure from missile threats. Additionally, Netanyahu's attempt to dismiss Shin Bet chief Ronen Bar amid investigations into his aides has been controversial. However, attributing these issues solely to Netanyahu's management is an oversimplification, as security matters are complex and involve multiple factors and agencies. Therefore, while there is some truth to the claim, it lacks full context.

If you didn't travel abroad this year because you couldn't afford it, it's because the government took your money and used it to fund flights to Uman for Shas voters.

The Israeli government allocated NIS 10 million to support flights to Uman for Rosh Hashanah pilgrims, many of whom are Shas voters. However, attributing an individual's inability to afford personal travel abroad solely to this allocation oversimplifies the issue. Government budgets encompass numerous expenditures, and this specific funding represents a small fraction of the overall budget. Therefore, while the claim contains a kernel of truth regarding the allocation, it exaggerates its impact on taxpayers' personal finances.

Netanyahu is primarily responsible for the October 7 disaster due to his actions and negligence regarding intelligence warnings.

The claim that Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu is primarily responsible for the October 7 disaster due to his actions and negligence regarding intelligence warnings is partially supported by available evidence. Reports indicate that Netanyahu received multiple warnings from the Military Intelligence Directorate between March and July 2023 about potential threats, including concerns over societal divisions and their impact on national security. Additionally, former IDF Military Intelligence Directorate chief Aharon Haliva stated that Netanyahu showed little interest in intelligence assessments and ignored warnings to better prepare for potential conflict. However, attributing primary responsibility solely to Netanyahu overlooks the broader systemic failures within Israel's intelligence and military apparatus. Investigations have highlighted misjudgments and operational inefficiencies across various levels, suggesting that the disaster resulted from a combination of factors, not solely Netanyahu's actions or inactions.
