Families often discover that their relatives stayed in displaced persons camps in Austria after the war. This may entitle children and grandchildren to citizenship, even if the family's origins are in another country.

The World Cup is over, and the European transfer market is about to explode. From Real Madrid's defensive overhaul under Mourinho to Chelsea's massive spending spree and Barcelona's hunt for a new striker, here is the interim summary of the biggest moves and what's still to come.

The Ministry of Finance is furious over the rejection of structural reforms like the Metropolitan Authorities Law. Monday cuts 20% of its workforce, the online money laundering industry is luring young people, Supergas will pay 36 million shekels in compensation, and the cottage cheese shortage highlights a broader issue of factory shutdowns due to a lack of foreign technicians.

Sebastian Rocci learned about data centers from YouTube, then flew to Silicon Valley to visit one. Now he promises the poor Imperial County in Southern California an economic renaissance: about 1,700 construction jobs, more than 100 permanent jobs in engineering and cybersecurity, and almost $30 million in annual tax revenue. Residents, however, are much less impressed.

From Maradona in front of tens of thousands in Naples to Burnley, "Shrek," and Hapoel Petah Tikva: signing videos have turned from a dry announcement into a viral show, where humor, creativity, and personality are sometimes just as important as the player himself.

Despite relative relief, extreme heat is expected in the Dead Sea area and the Arava, with temperatures in Eilat reaching 41 degrees. Warming is expected tomorrow, followed by a slight drop in temperatures on Sunday, with possible morning drizzles along the coastal plain.

The activities: wine workshops, a brain gym, an infrared sauna, and meetings at the bar. The audience: 67-102 year olds. The cost: a deposit of 2-6.5 million shekels per apartment, and another 10,000 to 20,000 shekels per month. The longevity trend has also reached assisted living and is changing the perception of old age. We spent 48 hours at the luxurious residential complex of the 'Ad 120'...

Prices are currently frozen with a downward trend. The Central Bureau of Statistics' apartment price index indicates a minimal decrease, but some argue that the actual decline is more significant. Meanwhile, some wonder how prices can be lowered proactively. What can the state and municipalities do about it, and how can the apartment production chain be addressed to reach a situation where more...

In recent years, local authorities have become dominant partners in urban renewal projects, not only as regulators but also as stakeholders requiring public spaces within residential developments. While this addresses the need for public infrastructure, developers warn that excessive or unclear demands can harm economic feasibility, create uncertainty, and delay project implementation.

Many apartments sold 'on paper' in recent years are nearing occupancy, requiring buyers to secure full payment. Amidst price stagnation and high interest rates, many are facing financial challenges. Experts discuss the risks of contract cancellations and the best ways to prepare for the final payment day.

How new office buildings and business parks have turned from a real estate tool into a tool for recruiting, retaining, and attracting employees. Do hybrid work, competition for employees, and the need to bring people back to the office affect the planning of office towers, business parks, and the tenant experience? We went to check.

Between developers promising price increases and CEOs reporting a 20% drop, Israelis are left without a compass. In the current reality, the answer to the question "should I buy now" depends mainly on the interest of the person advising you.

Is the residential culture in Israel changing, or is the price surge forcing a new reality? While many are torn between the aspiration for homeownership and the economic need for stable rent, the housing market struggles to provide answers, and industry leaders explain why the only way to lower prices is to expand supply from all directions.

Social networks and artificial intelligence are taking over the marketing and advertising world. Is the old and conservative real estate industry also racing in that direction? Are Instagram, TikTok, and Facebook the new sales offices? We spoke with professionals to understand what content works and what doesn't, what makes a client leave details, and what still requires a personal meeting.

Following the cancellation of TAMA 38 and the industry's shift toward large-scale 'Pinui-Binui' complexes, many old residential buildings are being left behind. Experts discuss whether alternative mechanisms, such as the 'Shaked alternative,' can provide the necessary strengthening and protection for individual buildings, or if they risk being excluded from urban renewal.

Despite falling transaction volumes and record-high housing supply, apartment prices are not showing a sharp decline. Experts attribute this to hidden discounts, developer financing constraints, and resilient baseline demand.

Once we have chosen a version of events, we focus on information that supports our views and ignore contradicting facts. This is called confirmation bias, but the mechanism is much deeper: we do not just choose what to see, but also decide how to interpret what we see.

The American allergy to Israel and its distancing on the international arena are not limited to 'Free Palestine' chants on campuses. Recent polls indicate a dramatic destruction of the value of the 'Israel' brand in the USA.

This is the true test of the agreement: not only whether Hezbollah will be disarmed, but who will fill the void that will be created. Sovereignty does not boil down to waving a flag, deploying soldiers, or words written on a page. The state must provide a roof for the displaced, compensate the families, and establish a dedicated reconstruction authority that will handle the rebuilding of the...

A public body that is required to decide on a question commissions a study in an orderly procedure. The researchers collect data, analyze it, and submit findings and professional interpretation. The decision remains in the hands of the decision-makers. A study is commissioned for the purpose of discussion. One can accept the recommendation. One can reject it. But there is a point to the...

Behind the impressive turnout for reserve duty lie hollow units, worn-out families, and compromised competence. The IDF must reduce service days, stop changing orders, create certainty, and return units to training — before it is too late.

Netanyahu lost support among some coalition voters, the Chief of Staff lost the ability to enforce the conscription law, and the Supreme Court and Knesset face further delegitimization. Almost all of us are losing, perhaps with the exception of Gadi Eisenkot, who is positioning himself as Netanyahu's successor.

Military pressure can help negotiations only when it is connected to a clear political offer. When the demand is effectively 'surrender, and then we will see,' even the weakest enemy will sometimes prefer to continue fighting. This is what degradation without a goal looks like: each stage is presented as a necessary answer to the previous one, until no one remembers what the original question was.
