Netanyahu’s defeated alliance

Utj, UTJ, announced on Monday that it would leave the government of the Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu alliance due to a long -term dispute related to the new recruitment bill in the country. This step leaves Netanyahu with a parliamentary majority of only one seat; If more parties resign as well, it may severely limit Netanyahu’s ability to rule and make Israel a step closer to new elections.

Israeli religious students have always been exempt in compulsory military service in the country that apply to most other Israeli youth. However, these exemptions were canceled last year after the Israeli Supreme Court ruled that they rise to the level of discrimination against the secular majority in the country and ordered the government to start formulating religious students.

This decision sparked anger within the extremist Orthodox Jewish community, whose members argue that their men are serving the country through their intensive religious studies and that compulsory military service will threaten this tradition and their way of life. Netanyahu has since worked to resolve the issue by pressuring a new military recruitment bill in parliament. The new draft law is developing a plan to integrate the extremist gradual in the army while it is likely to cut the general financing of individuals or religious schools (known as Yasifas) that fails to participate in the program. Even so, Utj legislators said the proposal is very harsh.

In a statement announcing his resignation from the coalition, Dijel Hatra, one of the two factions who make up UTJ, were martyred “repeated violations by the government of its obligations to ensure the status of the holy Yashiva students who participate hard in their studies.”

It is still unclear whether SHAS, the other super party within the Netanyahu coalition, will take a similar step. Although Monday’s announcement puts Netanyahu, who is being tried for corruption, under greater political pressure, he has not yet indicated that his government has collapsed. Utj members have 48 hours before their resignation applies. In addition, Parliament is scheduled to go on the summer vacation at the end of July, which may allow Netanyahu to avoid voting to dissolve parliament and use the interlocking period to re -evaluate UTJ to the alliance.

“God willing, everything will be fine,” said Mickey Zohar, Minister of Ministers of the Likud party in Netanyahu.

Elimination of the coalition can also increase Netanyahu’s ability to make concessions to Hamas in the ongoing ceasefire talks in Qatar, where the Israeli leader will have to rely on the extremist right -wing parties in the coalition, who strongly oppose the end of the war in gas, to maintain its parliamentary majority.

Albanians visit Beijing. Australian Prime Minister Anthony Albaniz met with Chinese President Xi Jinping in Beijing on Tuesday. The exchange was part of the six -day Albanz visit to China, and was aimed at reaffirming the economic relations between the two countries, especially amid global financial uncertainty caused by US President Donald Trump’s tariff.

“Australia’s relationship with China is important – for our economy, our security, and the stability of our region,” Albaniz wrote on a social media. Meanwhile, Shi repeated that Beijing and Kenbera should continue to deepen their relationship “regardless of how the international scene developed.”

Although trade has been a major axis, security concerns are on the horizon of the meeting, as Canberra faces increasing concerns about Washington’s commitment to Okos, and the security partnership consisting of Australia, the United States and the United Kingdom. Albaniz’s journey with Australia, which has never conducted military exercises in cooperation with 19 countries, including the United States, Japan, the United Kingdom and India.

Nafidia chips. NVIDIA, an American photography company and a company in the most valuable world, said on Monday in a company blog post that it would resume selling the H20 advanced computer chips to China after the Trump administration said it would agree to these shipments.

“Today, I announced that the US government has agreed to provide licenses to start charging H20S,” Ginsen Huang, the company’s CEO, who is currently working in China for a visit, told reporters. “It is innovative and dynamic here in China that it is really important for American companies to be able to compete and serve the market here,” Huang added.

This step is a reflection of the policy that was previously announced in mid-April, when the United States government said that NVIDIA will require a special license to sell chips-which is used to develop artificial intelligence and was specially designed to bypass export controls-Bekin. The government’s decision in April forced the company effectively to stop the sale of H20 chips.

However, in the wake of the recent United States of Chinese talks in London and an effort to pressure by Huang and other technology leaders, who have argued that restrictions will limit the competitiveness for us, it seems that the Trump administration has changed its course.

The independent body will have three months to provide its initial results.

The recent allegations come in a time when the political turmoil of Ramavusa, who has made a promise to combat the problems of settlement in South Africa. However, the announcement of a new committee was announced. “These allegations gave the president an opportunity to show bold and firm leadership,” the Democratic Alliance, which is part of the ruling coalition in Ramavusa, said in a statement. “Instead, he once again contracted the executive responsibility towards the committee, and South Africa has become sarcastic from the modern stores, task teams and commissions they see as buying time and avoiding accountability.”
