"I think she realized that waiting for a sufficient crackdown was not going to suffice," says David Bar-Illan, Netanyahu's director of communications and policy planning.

A cultural affairs show, aired last week, featured a claim by the host that that the Jews "exaggerate what the Nazis did to them," and profit from it by inflating the number of victims.

Lebanon's President Elias Hrawi said Thursday in Beirut that Lebanon will not stand for a unilateral Israeli-imposed deal. "Haaretz has a good reputation," says TIME's Johanna McGeary. "Lots of Israelis would like...
