Israel’s traumas, absurdities come into focus via a veteran photojournalist’s lens

The photojournalist Alex Levac has a new retrospective titled "Black Box," which features a selection of his celebrated works from the past 50 years. The Times of Israel notes the exhibition comes as the country deals with significant historical challenges.

In recent political developments, Yashar party leader Gadi Eisenkot has surpassed Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu in efforts to secure parliamentary support for a new governing coalition. According to the Jerusalem Post, Eisenkot has 67 parliamentarians endorsing his attempt to form a government, while Netanyahu has 46.

Eisenkot leads a change bloc of four Zionist parties holding 48 seats in the Knesset. To reach the 61-seat majority required to form a government, the bloc needs at least 13 more seats or a plurality if enough other parties abstain. President Isaac Herzog is expected to announce on Sunday who will be given the first opportunity to form a coalition, after which Eisenkot will have 28 days to negotiate.
