With no official government policy on the potential extension sovereignty over parts of the West Bank, diplomats have been left without the tools to stand up for Israel amid growing international criticism.Alternate Prime Minister and Defense Minister Benny Gantz inadvertently highlighted the challenging situation in his remarks at a Blue and White faction meeting on Wednesday.These days, there are significant diplomatic opportunities on the agenda that can improve and even change the face of the entire region, including, of course the peace plan proposed by the US government, Gantz said.Gantz added that, in the coming weeks, he and Foreign Minister Gabi Ashkenazi will review professional assessments on the matter, to bring the best results that will protect Israeli security and our national and international interests.We will act wisely and responsibly. That is the only way we can bring historic achievements that will strengthen Israels security for generations, he stated.But while Gantz and Ashkenazi take their time, international pushback against annexation from across the world from Beijing to Brussels has not waited for them to make a decision, and the matter is on the international political agenda.In some cases, like in the Czech Republic, its even on the domestic political agenda.

The Torah reading for Shavuot includes the Ten Commandments, following the opinion of one of the Tannaim (early Sages). This is, no doubt, the result of the rabbinic belief that the Torah was given on Mt. Sinai on Shavuot (Shabbat 86b).Even so, its very surprising that we read the Ten Commandments in public only on Shavuot and as part of the weekly portions of Yitro (Exodus 20) and Vaethanan (Deuteronomy 5).
