Israel's One Inch Away From New Government and Israeli Tweeps are Divided Over It

For some, the decision of the hawkish Naftali Bennett to join the centre-left government of Yair Lapid was a betrayal that should not be forgiven. But for others, it was a move in the right direction that could take the country out of its current stalemate.

French Open slammed for 'hypocritical' response to Naomi Osaka's mental health concerns

Four-time Grand Slam winner Naomi Osaka withdrew from the French Open on Monday, citing her mental health. The French Tennis Federation (FFT) has now released a response to her unexpected withdrawal. It isn't great.

Last Wednesday Osaka announced she would not be doing any of the usual post-match press during the tournament in order to protect her mental wellbeing. Acknowledging that she would likely be fined for this decision, the current World No. 2 expressed a desire that the money would go toward a mental health charity.

"I've often felt that people have no regard for athletes [sic] mental health and this rings very true whenever I see a press conference or partake in one," Osaka wrote in a note she shared on Twitter. "I've watched many clips of athletes breaking down after a loss in a press room and I know you have as well. I believe the whole situation is kicking a person while they're down and I don't understand the reasoning behind it." Read more...
