Israel’s Week in Photographs by Haaretz Photographers

Police raided the workplace of Social Equality Minister May Golan on Monday and summoned her for questioning in reference to an investigation into alleged fraudulent employment and the misuse of public funds for personal functions via nonprofit foundations.

Israel is at present in a “type of isolation,” Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu mentioned on Monday, including that just about two years into its conflict in Gaza, Israel should adapt. “We’ll need to develop weapons industries here. We’re going to be Athens and super Sparta. Over the next few years, we’ll have no other choice. We’ll have to defend ourselves and know how to attack our enemies.”

Captivity survivors and households of Israeli hostages held in Gaza demonstrated outdoors Netanyahu’s residency in Jerusalem, establishing tents in protest of the IDF invasion of Gaza City. According to army officers, the offensive would endanger the hostages.
