A recent Channel 12 poll reveals that only 19% of Israelis support the Netanyahu coalition's proposed IDF draft law, which is expected to maintain exemptions for most ultra-Orthodox men. Opposition to the law stands at 47%, with a significant portion believing it will lead to draft evasion among the ultra-Orthodox.
The poll also indicates a growing dissatisfaction with Netanyahu's leadership, with many calling for snap elections. A majority, 55%, believe elections should occur as soon as possible, reflecting public discontent following security failures.
Breitbart: New York Judge Juan Merchan Rules Trump Be Sentenced on Jan. 10 %
Justice Juan Merchan has scheduled President-elect Donald Trump's sentencing for January 10, following his conviction on 34 counts of falsifying business records related to payments made to Stormy Daniels during the 2016 election. The court emphasized the need to finalize the matter before Trump's inauguration.
Merchan noted that while presidential immunity may apply once Trump is sworn in, it is essential to impose the sentence beforehand to serve the interests of justice. The ruling follows a legal filing from Manhattan District Attorney Alvin Bragg, urging the court to proceed with sentencing.

Judge Juan Merchan has scheduled a sentencing date of January 10 for President-elect Donald Trump, who was convicted on 34 counts of falsifying business records. The charges stem from a 2017 payment made to adult film star Stormy Daniels.
Merchan indicated he is unlikely to impose prison time, suggesting an “unconditional discharge” instead. Trump's legal team has filed motions to dismiss the case, citing presidential immunity and other legal arguments. Critics argue the case undermines the transition to the presidency.

GB News: Labour's Winter Fuel Payment cut to cost taxpayer nearly £400m and 'plunge pensioners into poverty'
Labour's means-testing of Winter Fuel Payments for pensioners has led to a £380 million cost to taxpayers due to a spike in Pension Credit claims. Originally projected to save £1.4 billion annually, the policy has instead resulted in more retirees seeking benefits, eroding potential savings.
Analysts warn that the surge in applications could cost the government over £200 million annually, with many eligible pensioners still not claiming housing benefits. Critics argue that the means-testing decision may push tens of thousands into poverty, countering the intended fiscal benefits.

Breitbart: In Victory for Trump, Japanese Company Blocked from Buying U.S. Steel
President Biden has blocked Japan's Nippon Steel from acquiring U.S. Steel, citing national security concerns under the Defense Production Act. This decision aligns with former President Trump's stance against the deal, which was opposed by the U.S. Chamber of Commerce due to potential economic repercussions.
The acquisition would have marked a significant shift, as U.S. Steel has historical ties to the U.S. military and was crucial during World War II. Critics argue that blocking the deal could negatively impact steelworkers and the economy in key states.
The Epoch Times: Trump Wants to Eliminate the Debt Ceiling—What Is It and How Did We Get Here?
The U.S. government has reinstated the debt ceiling as of January 1, 2025, setting the stage for a contentious political battle involving President-elect Donald Trump and Congress. Trump has proposed either eliminating the debt ceiling or extending it to 2029, urging cooperation with Democrats.
The debt ceiling, established in 1917, limits the amount of debt the government can incur to meet its obligations. The ongoing debates over the ceiling have led to significant political maneuvering, with both parties using it as leverage. Experts warn that failure to address the debt ceiling could result in a default, which would have severe economic consequences.
