Germany is preparing its military for a possible conflict with Russia by 2029, according to a leaked directive. Signed by Bundeswehr chief Carsten Breuer, the order calls for advanced long-range strike systems, enhanced air defense, and stockpiles of ammunition. Chancellor Friedrich Merz also lifted restrictions on weapon range to Ukraine, signaling a strategic shift. Germany plans to boost defense spending to 5% of GDP and may end its volunteer military model. The move comes amid economic strain and restructuring of legacy defense firms like ThyssenKrupp.

Leftist leader Yair Golan faced a storm of protests during his speech at the Sderot Conference in Beersheba, with right-wing hecklers calling him a “traitor” over his controversial Gaza remarks. Golan lashed out, accusing protesters of cowardice and blamed incitement like this for Rabin’s assassination. Following his comments about Israeli soldiers "killing babies," later clarified as a critique of government policy, Golan was banned from reserve duty. Ministers Ben Gvir and Katz escalated attacks, while Lapid and Gantz defended him.
