Israel National News is stopping its round-the-clock news updates at this time in honor of Shabbat and the holiday of Passover. Jerusalem candle lighting time is 18:26 on Friday. Our North American desk will keep you informed until the 19:13 EDT candle lighting time in New York.
Shabbat will be immediately followed by the holiday of Passover. As such, the updates from Israel will resume Sunday night, following the conclusion of Passover at 19:446 Jerusalem time.
Shabbat Shalom and Chag Sameach!
