Daily Briefing June 9: Day 612 – Will Shas Bring Down the Coalition?
This briefing offers a concise update on key developments in Israel and beyond. In today’s discussion, political correspondent Sam Sokol explores rising tensions caused by the demand from ultra-Orthodox parties for exemptions from military draft. With Shas party leader Aryeh Deri signaling his party’s possible exit from the ruling coalition, Sokol explains that Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu is under mounting pressure. The issue even spurred an arson attack at a synagogue connected to Shas. Despite the intensity of these events, sources suggest that any breakdown in the coalition might delay fresh elections, allowing the existing government up to five more months to reorganize and search for alternative arrangements.
New Approaches in Biblical Research
Archaeology reporter Rossella Tercatin presents two significant research findings that could reshape our understanding of ancient texts. A breakthrough algorithm is now being used to decipher layers of oral traditions and editorial interventions in the Bible, by analyzing the frequency and patterns of words. In parallel, a radiocarbon dating study applied to the Dead Sea Scrolls aims to clarify their chronological origins and determine whether these documents are original editions or early copies. Together, these studies open new avenues for exploring the history behind these foundational texts.
