Wrong Information about ETA for Travelers to Israel I refer to the letter written today by Yitzchok Eliezer. You are right that Grandparents names are not asked, only parents name, and the mothers maiden name. I apologise for my mistake. However, you are totally wrong with saying that the State of Israel, by law, cannot demand or impose Israeli citizenship. It seems that you are unaware of this, but by Israeli law, every person born to a first-generation Israeli, automatically inherits mandatory citizenship as a second-generation Israeli. , whether he reported his birth or not. You can see this very clearly on the website of chaimvchessed . If a person wishes not to obtain Israeli citizenship, they must go through a very complicated bureaucracy procedure. There are various people living in Chutz Laaretz having trouble with this issue, when visiting Israel or when sending children to Yeshivas in Israel. A child of an Israeli citizen will not be granted a Visa in regular cases, if noticed that his parent is Israeli. You can verify this with all yeshivas in Israel. Be careful when dismissing other people’s information, without verifying it , as people may rely on your information and may incur trouble in the future. For anyone who doubts about how to complete the ETA or obtaining Israeli citizenship, I suggest to contact ChaimVchessed as they have great experience in these fields. S.G.Meir, Yerushalayim |

Starmer hails ‘year of change’ as he delivers first New Year message as prime minister, with plan for ‘more cash in your pocket’ in 2025 |
Sir Keir Starmer has hailed 2024 as a “year of change” as he shared his first New Year message as prime minister. But the Labour leader, who took office after a staggering general election victory over the Conservatives in July, admitted there is “still so much more to do” in 2025. It will include a plan to make sure there will be “more cash in your pocket”, as well as a raft of other initiatives for “change”. Almost six months into the prime minister’s time in Downing Street, Sir Keir is battling criticisms of his party’s management of the economy and the direction in which he is taking the country. Despite this, the Labour leader’s New Year message largely takes an optimistic tone, celebrating a “year of changing Britain for the better” and looking forward to a “fight for change” that will define “every waking hour of this government”. |

Russia Rejects Donald Trump’s Peace Proposal For Ukraine |
![]() |
Russia’s Foreign Minister Sergey Lavrov on Monday dismissed a peace plan reportedly being considered by U.S. President-elect Donald Trump’s team to end the war in Ukraine. Lavrov said Russia was “appalled” by reports suggesting Trump’s aides were exploring a plan that would temporarily halt fighting while leaving open the possibility of Ukraine joining NATO in the future. “Judging from numerous leaks and Donald Trump’s interview with Time magazine, their idea is to suspend hostilities along the line of contact and transfer responsibility for confrontation with Russia to the Europeans,” Lavrov said at a press conference. “We are not happy with proposals to delay Ukraine’s NATO membership by 20 years and to deploy European peacekeepers in Ukraine.” Trump has not disclosed specific details of his Ukraine strategy, insisting in the Time interview that revealing his plan would render it ineffective. However, he said he is committed to supporting Ukraine, with reports indicating his team is weighing options such as deploying European forces while deferring Kyiv’s entry into NATO. Retired Lt. Gen. Keith Kellogg, Trump’s pick as special envoy to Ukraine, has floated the idea of halting U.S. aid to Ukraine while threatening Russia with increased arms shipments as leverage to broker peace. Lavrov, however, warned that any approach involving Ukraine’s eventual NATO accession would be a “non-starter.” He reiterated Moscow’s longstanding stance that Russia would oppose Ukraine’s NATO membership “regardless of the territorial factor.” Russia has justified its 2022 invasion by framing NATO expansion into Ukraine as an existential threat, with Lavrov describing it as “aggressive absorption.” Lavrov added that any outreach to Moscow must come from Trump’s administration, cautioning that Trump would face significant obstacles even if he sought to “relaunch bilateral ties.” The Institute for the Study of War (ISW), a Washington-based think tank, said Lavrov’s comments reflect Russia’s refusal to compromise on President Vladimir Putin’s core demands. These include keeping Ukraine neutral, limiting its military capabilities, and reshaping its government. “Russia’s lack of flexibility will pose a major challenge to Trump’s goal of ending the war in Ukraine,” the ISW wrote in an analysis. |

Gazan claims: This is what will convince Hamas to accept a hostage deal |
A Palestinian resident of the Gaza Strip, who was interviewed anonymously by the newspaper ‘Israel Hayom’, said that he fears for his life and hopes to leave the Strip: “The thing I fear most in war is being killed as a result of a nearby bombardment against a target that I know nothing about. I hope to leave Gaza before it’s too late.” every”. He also spoke about his fear of Hamas: “Can you imagine that I would prefer Israel to put me in prison? I am very afraid of the possibility of being eliminated, but in any case I have lost everything that can be lost in the war. I only look forward to escaping from Gaza – whether it is to Israel or Egypt or the EU.” The Emirates. I tried several times and failed.” During the interview, he claimed that “Mohammed Sinwar has more control over the details of the military situation than Mihya Sinwar,” and noted that Hamas is waiting for a political or regional solution, but has not achieved it. According to him, “the current negotiations are an attempt by Hamas to buy time, what can convince it is “Only military pressure and taking control of the center of the Gaza Strip. Only then will he be able to make concessions.” He added that the chances of an agreement are low, due to Hamas’ inability to agree to a deal that does not end the war. “Hamas wants to survive, and the partial deal is only the release of hostages in exchange for a ceasefire. The residents of Gaza want a ceasefire, but Hamas does not want that,” he said. “They believe that the people’s victims are ‘tactical losses’ compared to the strategic goals.” “Hamas suffers from an existential problem. It has no way out of defeat and surrender. The movement is not present in the streets, and the organization’s members move around in civilian clothes to protect themselves,” he added, confirming that the terrorist organization “controls humanitarian aid and markets using forceful methods to subordinate the population to its policies. This “, even though he does not fully control the security situation.” He noted that “the recent Israeli attacks have weakened Hamas’s ability to control the Palestinian street and humanitarian aid. Its people can only stay for a short time.” Hamas also sends security personnel to abuse those who oppose it. “It’s like the medieval Inquisition, only these are immediate actions.” “On the ground without any legal basis.” He also said that Hamas carries out assassinations of those who oppose it, in order to silence and deter opponents. He noted that the operations are limited due to a lack of security control in some areas. In conclusion, a Gaza resident noted that he sees today as a real opportunity for peace “after an era of extremism and terrorism. Hamas led this era for ideological reasons that violate international norms, religions, and laws. |

Hamas said willing to free only 22 of 34 living hostages demanded by Israel in deal |
Palestinian terror group Hamas has partially rejected a list of hostages that Israel insists must be released in the first phase of any ceasefire deal, according to a Monday report. Kan news, citing an unnamed Palestinian source, said Hamas is willing to release 22 of the 34 hostages on the list, but is refusing to agree to the release of the other 12. Instead, the report stated, the group offered to release 22 living hostages and 12 bodies during the first phase of a potential deal. Israel turned down the notion and made it clear that it would only accept living hostages during the initial stage of a deal, the report added. The report did not provide further details on the hostages Hamas is reportedly refusing to release. Earlier this month, Egypt’s Al-Ghad outlet reported that Israel requested that 11 men considered by Hamas to be soldiers be included on the list of hostages to be released in the first phase of a potential deal. The terror group classifies all Israeli men of fighting age to be soldiers. Another stumbling block reported by Hebrew media is Hamas’s insistence that a proposed deal include the terms for an end to the war. The terror group was reportedly balking at recent remarks by Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu that Israel would resume fighting after the captives have been released. During a high-level meeting last week, Netanyahu told those present that Israel will resume fighting after a hostage deal if one comes about, Channel 12 reported Monday. “If there is a deal — and I hope there will be — Israel will return to fighting afterward. There is no point in pretending otherwise because returning to fighting is needed in order to complete the goals of the war. Saying this does not thwart a deal, it encourages a deal,” Channel 12 quoted Netanyahu as saying. The network said the remarks sparked fresh concerns among members of the hostage negotiating team, who believe that such comments — especially when made public — have made it more difficult to secure a deal, given that Hamas hopes to reach a permanent ceasefire. |
