Five Of Israel's Latest 'Miracles' Leading Up to Its 69th BirthdayIn 2017, the perceived miracles keep coming. [JNS.org] With its forces vastly outnumbered by Arab armies, Israel's victory in the 1948 War of Independence was widely considered a modern-day miracle. The Jewish state shocked the world again in 1967 by significantly expanding its borders and reunifying Jerusalem during the Six-Day War.

Baseball fever Israel's squad, comprised of Jewish Americans who are eligible for Israeli citizenship, garnered significant attention from major mainstream media outlets. ESPN ran a feature article dubbing Israel's the "Jamaican bobsled team of the WBC," given its current underdog story. The New York Times ran with the headline, "With Mirth and a Mensch, Israel Upsets South Korea in WBC," referring to the team's mascot, the popular plush Hanukkah toy Mensch on a Bench. A 'new sheriff' at the UN During her speech at March's AIPAC policy conference, Haley described herself as the U.N.'s "new sheriff in town" and declared "the days of Israel-bashing are over." Haley, who in April assumed the U.N. Security Council's rotating monthly presidency, has promised to refocus the council away from the Israeli-Palestinian conflict. "The incredibly destructive nature of Iranian and Hezbollah activities throughout the Middle East demands much more of our attention. It should become this council's priority in the region," she said April 20. Start-up nation's $15 billion bombshell Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu said the Intel-Mobileye deal would lead to the creation of "thousands of additional jobs" in Israel.

The number of foreign tourists visiting Israel, meanwhile, reached an all-time high of 739,000 in the first quarter of 2017. Israeli Tourism Ministry officials hope 2013's record number of 3.54 million tourists visiting Israel will be surpassed this year.
