APN's daily news review from Israel
Tuesday November 19, 2019
Quote of the day #1:
"First, it is worth dwelling on the reasons why the Prime Minister is bothering to organize emergency
conferences of the parties that support him. It is not the situation in the Gaza periphery and the collapse of
the hospitals, not the murdered women or the construction workers who fall to their deaths, but the war of
survival. And in this war - all victims are kosher. Even when it comes to 20 percent of the citizens of the
State of Israel."
--Yedioth commentator Chen Artzi-Srur on the incitement by Israeli Prime Minister Binyamin Netanyahu against the Knesset representatives of the Arab public.*
Quote of the day #2:
"I drove to the Knesset this morning from (my home in) Nokidm and got a phone call from an angry citizen, who said to me, ‘Be warned, if you join Netanyahu's coalition - you're done.’ After five minutes, I received another phone call: "Be careful, if you join the Gantz minority government - you're done." At the entrance (to the Knesset), a citizen told me that if there are another elections, I am over. We live in a fascinating reality.”
—Elections kingmaker and Yisrael Beiteinu chairman, MK Avigdor Lieberman, told Maariv Monday.

As a journalist who has reported on the Israeli-Palestinian
conflict for many years, I know how helpful being able to read the local media is, the news items, the Op-Eds
and the analysis, in order to get a fuller picture of what is happening on the ground and to get a pulse from
the commentators. That requires not only knowledge of the local languages, but also time, a limited commodity
for all.
