It is currently Yom Kippur in Israel. The news channels have gone off air for the holiday and the Telegram channels have gone quiet.
But they still carve out a little exception for kidnapping peaceful activists in international waters who are trying to deliver baby formula to starving children.

<div class="field field-field-text"><p>Germany's Conservative Social Union (CSU) has blocked aid to the Palestine Authority in the occupied West Bank over fears it could "endanger" Israel.</p>
<p>The CSU, a member of the governing coalition, said it would temporarily halt 30 million euros ($35 million) pledged by Development Minister Reem Alabali Radovan of the centre-left Social Democrats (SPD) after a trip to the region last month.</p>
<p>Alexander Hoffmann, parliamentary leader of the CSU party, told the Bild newspaper the party wanted further "clarification".</p>
<p>Hoffmann's spokesman confirmed to AFP his comments that "humanitarian help is important, but it must be clear which concrete projects the money will be used for before the funds are approved". </p>
<p>"Projects that endanger Israel's security must be excluded."</p>
