Providence Puts a Disguised Israel Divestment Measure on the Ballot

Today’s lead: Providence voters will decide a binding divestment measure whose neutral-sounding text does not name Israel, even as organizers and opponents identify it as an Israel and BDS referendum.

Also tracking: Israel’s High Holy Day threat assessment, a boycott campaign targeting an Israeli amputee in an Adidas accessibility promotion, and the institutional stakes of the AfD’s surge in Saxony-Anhalt.

In the wire: U.S. pressure over a Vilnius Jewish cemetery, a Lebanese lawmaker’s opening to the Abraham Accords, and a Hamas cell found with a rocket in Samaria.
