The Tikva Forum, a forum of families of hostages, dissented from the condemnation of the firing of Yoav Gallant as defense minister by the Hostages Family Forum and instead called the move an "opportunity."
"The dismissal of Minister Galant and the appointment of Israel Katz opens up an opportunity for us to make a strategic change regarding the return of the hostages," the Tikva Forum stated.
"The time has come to push with all our might Netanyahu's proposal for the return of captives through the release of the hostages for a large sum of money. We trust Minister Katz to increase and further intensify the military pressure on what is left of Hamas in Gaza. All means are kosher for the return of our children. We thank Minister Gallant for his work for the security of Israe...

Who is Yoav Gallant?
Yoav Gallant, recently dismissed as Israel’s Defense Minister, is a former general recognized for his practical, no-nonsense approach to security. Gallant built public respect for his role in managing Israel’s 13-month Gaza campaign and fostered strong ties with international allies, including US Defense Secretary Lloyd Austin, enhancing his influence on Israel’s defense policy.
Why did Netanyahu fire him?
Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu cited a “crisis of trust” and strategic differences in his decision to remove Gallant. Netanyahu’s office pointed to Gallant’s opposition to continuing an aggressive campaign against Hamas without clear objectives. Gallant criticized Netanyahu’s goal of “absolute vict...
The Prime Minister's Office rejected the reports that Prime Minister Netanyahu is planning to fire IDF Chief of Staff Herzi Halevi and Shin Bet chief Ronen Bar and stated, "The reports to the effect that the Prime Minister intends to dismiss senior officials in the security services are incorrect and are designed to sow discord and rifts. This is also the case with the mendacious reports that the haredi ministers were in on the matter. They learned about it from the media."
Baltimore, MD – Nov. 5, 2024 - BJL wishes a hearty Mazel Tov to Howard Kastner & Ronna Flaks on their engagement!

Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu fired Defense Minister Yoav Gallant on Tuesday evening.
Netanyahu explained that this is the result of a crisis of trust and significant differences between the two in the management of the war. "My highest commitment as Prime Minister of Israel is to maintain Israel's security and bring us to a complete victory," Netanyahu said in a statement after the dismissal announcement.
He added, "In the midst of a war, more than ever, full trust is required between the Prime Minister and the Minister of Defense. Unfortunately, although in the first months of the campaign there was such trust and there was very fruitful work, during the last few months this trust has cracked between me and the Minister of Defense."
"Significant gaps were discovered between m...

Baltimore, MD - Nov. 5, 2024 - Today is the day we get to exercise our constitutional and democratic right to cast our ballots in the General Election.

One was from someone from Montgomery County who works in Baltimore and will not be able to get back to Montgomery County in time. Can they still vote? The answer is yes. They will not have their Montgomery County ballot (with the local races, questions, etc.), but they will be given a Baltimore City or County provisional ballot, depen...
A historic election that saw an incumbent president drop his campaign, a woman rise to the top of the Democratic ticket and multiple assassination attempts against the Republican candidate will come to an end on Nov. 5.
But the outcome may not be known on election night.
It took four days for the race to be called for President Joe Biden in 2020 as mail-in voting expansions, and other changes made to help Americans participate during a global pandemic, delayed counting in several key states.
“It can take a few days and sometimes more,” said Barry Burden, the director of the Elections Research Center at University of Wisconsin-Madison.
An especially tight race, as expected this year, can make it even more difficult to call a winner in the hours after polls close, experts tol...
