REUTERS/Amir Cohen/File PhotoREHOVOT, Israel, July 17 - Every year, egg farmers kill 7 billion day-old male chicks because they cannot grow up to lay eggs and are the wrong breed for meat. A laboratory in Israel has a solution: what if the male eggs don't hatch? Day-old male chicks are normally "either macerated or suffocated or electrified. In some countries they do not even bother to cull their males properly,” explained Cinnamon, principal investigator at Israel’s Volcani Institute, which works to attain food security and food safety. The unhatched male eggs can be used for other purposes such as animal feed.

Tel Aviv, April 18 (Reuters) - Esther Paran navigated her way in a wheelchair through the throngs of Israelis marching through Tel Aviv in protest at government plans to overhaul the country's judicial system. Paran, 79, is one of roughly 147,000 Holocaust survivors still alive in Israel. They came to Israel in 1957 after a deadly uprising in Hungary that failed to end Soviet rule. [1/4] Esther Paran, 79, a Holocaust survivor from Hungary holds up a picture from her childhood, from her living room in Tel Aviv, Israel, April 13, 2023. Paran discussed her worries about Israel more stoically and with a sense of optimism that protesters' concerns will be heard.
JERUSALEM, Feb 13 (Reuters) - Israeli lawmakers engaged in a shouting match on Monday in a parliamentary committee deciding on government plans to overhaul the judiciary, a move President Isaac Herzog has warned risks tipping the country into "constitutional collapse". The plans, which would give rightist Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu greater control of appointments to the bench and weaken the Supreme Court's ability to strike down legislation or rule against the executive, have triggered widespread protests. Morning trains from Tel Aviv to Jerusalem were packed with people, many carrying Israeli flags and protest signs, heading to the demonstration. U.S. President Joe Biden has urged Netanyahu to build consensus before pushing through far-reaching changes, saying in comments published by the New York Times on Sunday that an independent judiciary was one of the foundations of U.S. and Israeli democracy.

Israeli startup makes inroads with personal flying vehicle

[1/5] An employee of Israeli startup AIR, sits in a prototype of AIR ONE, an electric vehicle designed to fly commuters on short trips far above streets overcrowded with cars in Beersheba, Israel December 18, 2022. The test-phase voyage may not look out of the ordinary at first given the huge progress made in drone technology. But this one, being developed by Israeli startup AIR, will be able to carry two people - an operator and passenger - as far as 100 miles on a single charge, the company says. Average day-to-day speed will be about 100 mph (160 kph) at an altitude of 1,200 feet (366 m), Plaut said.
