1. NETANYAHU: PA WANTS CONFLICT AT ANY PRICE
by Hezki Baruch
Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu on Sunday opened the cabinet meeting with harsh criticism of the Palestinian Authority's refusal to attend the economic workshop organized by the United States in Bahrain, and its arrest of a Palestinian Arab businessman who attended the workshop.
"In recent days, the Palestinian Authority arrested a Palestinian businessman. What was his 'crime'? He attended an economic conference that was designed to advance the Palestinian economy. The Palestinian Authority later released the man due to American pressure.
"One thing is clear from all this. The Palestinians are determined to continue the conflict at any price - including at the price of the Palestinians' own benefit. This is not how one who wants to advance peace acts."
Later, Netanyahu referred to the efforts for a truce with Hamas, and promised to intensify sanctions on Gaza if balloon terrorism does not stop.
"We understand the distress of Gaza-area communities and are working to make it as easy as possible for them. Last week we applied sanctions on Hamas, including stopping fuel, and if necessary, we will impose much tougher means on them."
However, Netanyahu pushed aside criticism over the truce with Hamas and said, "These actions are done in consultation with all the security forces. I am not impressed by the propaganda of the various 'experts.' Many of them give us advice they themselves did not implement when they were in the position."
"Let us not be confused, they will also be the first to criticize us after we embark on a large-scale military operation, something we may have to do," he added. "What guides me is one thing, and one thing only - the security of the State of Israel."

2. WILL RESTAURANT OPEN ON SHABBAT BE CERTIFIED KOSHER?
by Arutz Sheva Staff
The Chief Rabbinical Council recently summoned the owners of the Bab Al-Yaman restaurant, Yehonatan Wadai, for a hearing on the appeal filed following the Rabbinate's refusal to grant the restaurant a kashrut certificate.
A few weeks ago, a petition was submitted to the Supreme Court by the Ne'emanei Torah v'Avoda movement, on behalf of Wadai, in which the rabbinate was asked to explain why it will not issue a kashrut certification for a restaurant that is open on Saturdays without desecration of the Shabbat.
Today the restaurant serves kosher food and opens its doors on Shabbat, as stated, without desecrating Shabbat. The food is prepared in advance and heated on Shabbat plates and the payment is made before or after Shabbat, just as is done in hotels in Israel and in many kosher restaurants around the world.
"The fact that the rabbinate refuses to give kosher certification to the restaurant is strange and makes no sense," says Yonatan and Da'i, the owner of Bab El Yaman, "If hotels can receive kashrut certificates, why do not we? I call upon the rabbinate to do the right thing and to strengthen the values of Shabbat."
Tani Frank, Head of Religion and State in the Ne'emanei Torah v'Avodah movement, who submitted the petition together with Wadai, noted that "the rabbinate should have an interest in strengthening restaurants that do not violate Shabbat and serve kosher food. This strengthens local small businesses, and we very much hope that the rabbis will work to bring the hearts closer together, examine the matter impartially, and allow Bab Al-Yaman and other restaurants to open their gates on Shabbat - without desecration of the Shabbat."

5. PA RELEASES BUSINESSMAN WHO TOOK PART IN BAHRAIN CONFERENCE
by Arutz Sheva Staff
Jason Greenblatt, the US Representative for International Negotiations, wrote on Twitter on Saturday night that the Palestinian Authority (PA) had released Salah Abu Mayala, a businessman from Hevron who took part in the US-led economic workshop in Bahrain this week.
"We are pleased the PA has released the Palestinian they arrested after attending the Peace to Prosperity workshop. We look fwd to continuing our conversation w all who attended the workshop & anyone else who wants a better future for the Palestinians," wrote Greenblatt.
Journalist Gal Berger reported on Saturday night on Kan 11 News that Abu Mayala was arrested upon his return home by the PA security forces.
Attempts to arrest other participants at the Bahrain conference were unsuccessful because the participants crossed the Green Line to Israeli-controlled territory.
During the Bahrain conference this week, the US administration unveiled the economic portion of its peace plan, which aims to raise more than $50 billion for the Palestinian Authority (PA) and create one million jobs for its residents within a decade.
The PA boycotted the economic conference in Bahrain, calling it a meaningless meeting that was part of a meaningless plan.
The PA, in fact, has been boycotting the US ever since Trump's recognition of Jerusalem as Israel's capital in December of 2017 and his relocation of the US embassy to Jerusalem.
6. SOURCE: ISRAEL PREPARING FOR MILITARY SOLUTION
by Orly Harari
A diplomatic source has warned that Israel will reapply sanctions against Hamas, including limiting fuel and electricity, if the quiet does not continue. At the same time, Israel is also preparing for a military solution.
Recently, at least 15 fires a day were sparked by incendiary balloons. Over the past week, 100 fires broke out in Israeli towns on the Gaza border - but the IDF has refrained from responding.
On Friday, 14 fires broke out near the Gaza border, and a police sapper neutralized an explosive device hidden in what looked like a book and attached to a cluster of balloons, which had landed in an agricultural field.
In addition, 7,000 Gazans took part in the weekly riots. One of them threw a firebomb at an IDF jeep driving near the southern Gaza border. No one was injured.
Thursday saw 25 fires from incendiary balloons, and another incendiary balloon landed in a home in the Eshkol Regional Council. By miracle, no one was injured.
Wednesday saw 19 fires, mostly in the Eshkol region.
7. BENNETT: WE WILL JOIN 'TECHNICAL BLOC'
by Arutz Sheva Staff
Former Minister Naftali Bennett announced that the New Right party would run in the upcoming elections as a "liberal right-wing" party.
"A party that believes in a free economy, security-related aggressiveness, the integrity of the people and the land, and welcoming Judaism," Bennett wrote on his Facebook account.
"A party that is not sectoral, but cares for all parts of our good people. We will join other parties in a technical bloc in order to ensure success," Bennett wrote. "Your insights help me a lot."
"Soon I will ask you, friends, for active assistance so that we will succeed in a big way."
A poll conducted by Prof. Camil Fuchs and published on Channel 13 on Wednesday indicated that if the elections were held today, Likud and Blue and White would win the same number of seats - 32 each.
According to the data, the Arab Joint List is the third largest with 12 seats and Yisrael Beytenu gets 7 seats.
Four parties win 6 seats - Shas, United Torah Judaism, Meretz and Ehud Barak's new party.
The Labor Party continues to weaken with 5 seats, United Right gets 4 seats, as does New Right.

US President Donald Trump and South Korean President Moon Jae-in met Sunday with North Korean leader Kim Jong Un at the Demilitarized Zone between North and South Korea.
The meeting took place at the Korean border village of Panmunjom, on the southern side of the border.
South Korean President Moon said that Trump and Kim were "brave" for agreeing to meet. "I hope President Trump will go down in history as the president who achieves peace on Korean Peninsula."
President Trump downplayed the significance of the meeting, saying that it would be "short" and "virtually a handshake, but that's OK. A handshake means a lot."
During the meeting, Trump reportedly invited Kim to the White House, CNN reported.
"I'm inviting you to the White House. From the first moment we liked each other," said Trump of Kim, "it's an honor for me. We came from the G-20 summit in Japan, and I wanted to meet with North Korean leader Kim Jong-un. We've come a long way.
