🇮🇱 Bye-bye Bibi? Netanyahu’s coalition on the brink of collapse as key partner plans to walk away

Haredi religious party Shas plans to support a motion to dissolve parliament over the lack of progress on a stalled draft exemption bill.

Holding 11 seats in Netanyahu’s Likud-led 67 seat coalition, a Shas exit from the government would deprive the PM of a majority in the 120-seat Knesset, triggering elections.

Netanyahu is set to meet Shas MK Ariel Atias Thursday to try to resolve the crisis.

If elections are called, they could result in a political crisis. From 2019-2022, Israel held five consecutive elections, leading to deadlock or fragile government four out of five times. Recent opinion polling suggests elections now would cause Likud to lose up to 1/3 of its 32 seats, with the combined opposition polling at 62-67, enough to form a majority.

JP reports that Haredi rabbis are instructing religious parties to quit the government over the stalled draft law, which would exempt most Haredi men from IDF service. The IDF has faced major problems enlisting Haredim. In April, just 205 joined up after 10k draft notices were sent out.

🚨 UK will have trouble scraping together promised 100k drones for Ukraine, but expect more terror: defense analyst

London will have a hard time delivering on the UAVs by its April 2026 deadline, and will likely seek support from abroad, including other European countries, or stretch out the delivery timeframe, says 20-year US Army vet Lt. Col. (ret.) Earl Rasmussen.

The UK lacks the MIC bite to back up its bark, but that doesn’t mean Russia should underestimate its aggressive intent, Rasmussen stressed, pointing to London's sabotage of peace talks in 2022, and the likelihood of "very intimate" MI6 involvement in recent Ukrainian terror attacks on Russia, including attacks targeting the nuclear triad.

🇵🇱📦Polish company caught ILLEGALLY stashing weapons on Ukraine border

Prosecutors have launched an investigation into a stash of weapons meant for Ukraine that has turned up in an unsupervised facility.

🎤Interior Ministry spokesperson Jacek Dobrzynski slammed the lax oversight as a downright "scandal."

The arms cache, which included anti-aircraft systems, was found in containers inside a hangar in a village in southeastern Poland.

🗣Poland’s Defense Ministry quickly clarified on X that the weapons weren’t theirs, and were likely owned by a private company.

✅Still, it’s a sharp reminder that while Poland is a key transit hub funneling Western military aid to Ukraine, loose ends like this could blow up in their face.
