Iran hacked former ‘Israeli' Justice Minister phone during June war: Hebrew media
Iranian operatives successfully hacked the phone of former 'Israeli' Justice Minister Ayelet Shaked during the 12-day war in June 2025, according to Hebrew media reports. The breach, which was part of Tehran's ongoing effort to spy on current and former 'Israeli' officials, compromised Shaked's Telegram account. Sources close to Shaked said the hack was carried out after she clicked on a malicious link, a classic social engineering tactic. Although the Shin Bet, 'Israel's' internal security service, informed her of the breach approximately two weeks after it occurred, her associates reported that the Telegram account was "empty" and did not contain any sensitive information. The incident was not an isolated event. Shaked had been a persistent intelligence target for years. She was personally warned by then-Shin Bet director Nadav Argaman in 2016 and 2017, while she was a sitting minister, that Iranian operators were attempting to monitor her phone conversations. Although she left office in 2022, she had indicated an intention to return to political life, making her a continued target for long-term intelligence gathering.

What Does It Take to Become a Business Leader and Peacemaker? Avi Shaked's Gripping New Memoir, 'The Greater the Risk,' Reveals the Answer
Tel Aviv, Israel July 22, 2025 --( )-- From the scaffolds of construction sites to the global tech stage—and eventually, to the frontlines of Middle East peace negotiations—entrepreneur and visionary Avi Shaked has lived a life defined by courage, conviction, and calculated risk. His new memoir, 'The Greater the Risk: The Improbable Rise of an Israeli International Business Leader and Peacemaker,' is now available worldwide. This extraordinary true story follows Shaked's ascent from modest beginnings in Israel to his role as co-founder of online gaming giant (now EvokePlc), a publicly traded company employing over 12,000 people across the globe. But Shaked's journey didn't stop with business success. Using his wealth and influence, he took on an even greater challenge: pursuing peace between Israelis and Palestinians. In 'The Greater the Risk,' Shaked recounts his bold decision to fund and help draft the Geneva Accord signed in 2003, and his offer of $1 billion to the Palestinian government in support of a historic peace initiative. Against the backdrop of geopolitical conflict, family upheaval, and high-stakes entrepreneurship, Shaked's memoir is a rollercoaster of ambition, resilience, and purpose. 'Avi Shaked's gripping story is that of an Israeli who bridged the worlds of international business and peace-building—a particularly compelling subject given Israel's complex position in both global commerce and Middle Eastern diplomacy. The combination of business acumen and peacemaking efforts in one individual's story offers unique insights into how economic relationships can potentially serve diplomatic ends.' —Yoram Dori, biography writer and former strategic advisor to Israel's President Shimon Peres A #1 Amazon Bestseller in Historical Middle Eastern Biographies, 'The Greater the Risk' is more than a memoir—it's a timely call to action. It challenges readers to believe that with perseverance, vision, and a willingness to act for the greater good, even the most daunting obstacles can be transformed into opportunities for lasting change. Avi Shaked's life embodies this belief. A graduate of Ben-Gurion University, Shaked has led ventures across telecommunications, online gaming, and digital innovation. In 2025, he became chairman of Israel's 'Together We Succeed' party, championing equality and coexistence between Jews and Arabs. His goal in founding the party is to become Israel's next Prime Minister—and the leader who brings an end to the conflicts with Palestine, Syria, and Lebanon. Avi's memoir offers rare insights into the personal convictions behind his professional achievements—and the risks he took to make a meaningful difference.
