Iran is unlikely to halt its drive towards nuclear weapons following Presi=ent Donald Trump's refusal to recertify the Islamic Republic'= compliance with the 2015 nuclear deal, experts say. "Iran just k=eps threatening to do what it's already been doing—continuing=its path to nuclear weapons," said Emily Landau, director of th= Arms Control and Regional Security Program at Tel Aviv University'= Institute for National Security Studies. "The most it changes is t=e pace of progress and that's precisely the problem with the [nucl=ar deal]: it doesn't stop Iran."

UNESCO=in recent weeks has seen announcements from the U.S. and Israel of their=plans to withdraw from the agency over its anti-Israel bias. Simone Rodan=Benzaquen, director of the American Jewish Committee's European o=fices, said Azoulay "is generally regarded as a true professional=and expert in the field of culture and was a very respected igovernmentl=minister."

As a part of the new Big Idea gap year program in Israel’s de facto=cyber capital of Be’er Sheva, tech-savvy young adults can learn f=om the Jewish state’s “start-up nation” culture.
