  • Israel and the Occupied Territories 2015 Human Rights Report
    ISRAEL 2015 HUMAN RIGHTS REPORT EXECUTIVE SUMMARY Israel is a multiparty parliamentary democracy. Although it has no constitution, the parliament, the unicameral 120-member Knesset, has enacted a series of “Basic Laws” that enumerate fundamental rights. Certain fundamental laws, orders, and regulations legally depend on the existence of a “state of emergency,” which has been in effect since 1948. Under the Basic Laws, the Knesset has the power to dissolve the government and mandate elections. The nationwide Knesset elections in March, considered free and fair, resulted in a coalition government led by Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu. Civilian authorities maintained effective control over the security services. (An annex to this report covers human rights in the occupied territories. This report deals with human rights in Israel and the Israeli- occupied Golan Heights.) During the year according to Israeli Security Agency (ISA, also known as Shabak) statistics, Palestinians committed 47 terror attacks (including stabbings, assaults, shootings, projectile and rocket attacks, and attacks by improvised explosive devices (IED) within the Green Line that led to the deaths of five Israelis and one Eritrean, and two stabbing terror attacks committed by Jewish Israelis within the Green Line and not including Jerusalem. According to the ISA, Hamas, Hezbollah, and other militant groups fired 22 rockets into Israel and in 11 other incidents either planted IEDs or carried out shooting or projectile attacks into Israel and the Golan Heights.

  • Israel and Overseas: Israeli Election Primer 2015 (As Of, January 27, 2015) Elections • in Israel, Elections for the Knesset A
    Israel and Overseas: Israeli Election Primer 2015 (As of, January 27, 2015) Elections In Israel, elections for the Knesset are held at least every four years. As is frequently the case, the outgoing government coalition collapsed due to disagreements between the parties. As a result, the Knesset fell significantly short of seeing out its full four year term. Knesset elections in Israel will now be held on March 17, 2015, slightly over two years since the last time that this occurred. The Basics of the Israeli Electoral System All Israeli citizens above the age of 18 and currently in the country are eligible to vote. Voters simply select one political party. Votes are tallied and each party is then basically awarded the same percentage of Knesset seats as the percentage of votes that it received. So a party that wins 10% of total votes, receives 10% of the seats in the Knesset (In other words, they would win 12, out of a total of 120 seats). To discourage small parties, the law was recently amended and now the votes of any party that does not win at least 3.25% of the total (probably around 130,000 votes) are completely discarded and that party will not receive any seats. (Until recently, the “electoral threshold,” as it is known, was only 2%). For the upcoming elections, by January 29, each party must submit a numbered list of its candidates, which cannot later be altered. So a party that receives 10 seats will send to the Knesset the top 10 people listed on its pre-submitted list.

Whatever. Whenever. Wherever. Everyone’s a media publisher; everyone’s a media company. Technology has changed consumer behavior and expectations forever and is forcing dramatic evolutions of all forms of media and entertainment. How did this happen? Why did this happen? What will happen next? This course is designed to provide you with a r eal-world perspective for understanding the entertainment and media industry through the eyes of the technology -driven disruption that it is currently experiencing. By the end of this class, we hope that you will be conversant in the major issues, challenges, and opportunities that currently consume the management teams and investors/boards of media entities – both large and small. Through group work, class discussions and the investigation of real -life examples, you will further develop the skills/currency needed to succeed in any fast -moving business today. Having been fortunate to work at some of the most esteemed companies in media, I have experienced the dramatic changes that have consumed the media ecosystem. Today, with more content than ever, the proliferation of social media to distribute it, on- demand content like Netflix and Amazon, technology such as gaming computers and consoles, smartphones, and hardware like Roku and Amazon Fire, media players are all fighting for market share and revenues like never before.

Robert Wexler, President News Excerpts April 20, 2021 Ynet News Netanyahu Backs Direct Election for Prime Minister Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu expressed support for a direct election for the premiership as a way of ending the two-year cycle of inconclusive elections and to prevent a potential fifth. Netanyahu is also two weeks into a four-week window to form a coalition government in the wake of Israel's March 23 elections, a mission that has proven to be elusive. There is a solution to the political mess and a huge majority of the public supports it," Netanyahu told a meeting of his Likud party's Knesset faction. "Instead of forming absurd governments, for example with a prime minister who received only seven seats in the election, there will be direct elections for prime minister," he said, alluding to Naftali Bennett, who is said to be mulling a rotation agreement with Opposition Leader Yair Lapid.
