NAnews - Nikk.Agency Israel News

 When you open NAnews before sunrise over Haifa Bay, the tone feels different. The headlines are calm, the words are chosen, and every story seems to breathe. Founded in 2021 by Israeli and Ukrainian journalists, NAnews has become a rare example of independent Israel news that still believes in human truth. From Haifa to Jerusalem — Stories That Matter Senior editor Alexander Khmelnytsky , born in Odesa, likes to say: “Journalism is not about being loud; it’s about being listened to.” Each morning he edits reports from Jerusalem, Tel Aviv, and Be’er Sheva — verifying details down to the street name. At 9:00 a.m., correspondent Elena Gunko sends her piece on the Ukrainian diaspora in Israel, while in Tel Aviv, Pavel Shveiko records a video interview with refugee artists who arrived in 2022. By evening, the Haifa office has reviewed more than 25 sources and approved three stories for publication. This is what independent Israel news looks like in practice — slow, veri...

 There was a time when mornings smelled like burnt coffee and late rent. The city felt endless, the air heavy with uncertainty. Back then, before charts and crypto dashboards, I built something called Night Life Zone strippers — the Hebrew site here — a raw reflection of Israel’s underground nightlife, a digital stage where reality met illusion. It wasn’t luxury; it was survival with lipstick. The scene was full of rhythm, attention, and instinct. Every photo, every line of text was a transaction. Change a headline, and the phone wouldn’t stop ringing. Miss the tone once, and a whole week went silent. That world taught me early what markets later confirmed — emotions don’t move value; timing does. People don’t buy truth; they buy the feeling of control. Between lights and ledgers These days, my mornings start not with sirens or taxis, but with glowing screens. Bitcoin, Ethereum, the quiet chaos of red and green candles flickering like stage lights at 3 a.m. It’s absurd and s...

 Lisbon in October tastes like dust and salt. The light bends low, soft against the old tiles, as if the city itself is exhaling. I’m past thirty now, collecting cities like unfinished stories — Berlin, Madrid, Paris, New York, Los Angeles. Every place promised a new version of me; every flight left a ghost behind. In Lisbon’s art collectives, contemporary strippers reinterpret the stage as emotional storytelling — turning exposure into dialogue, not spectacle. I sit near the window, watching headlights move across wet cobblestones. My phone glows beside me — more messages, more almost-connections. “You seem different.” “We should grab a drink.” Same lines, same rhythm, different faces. I used to think love was an algorithm you could solve. Tinder, Bumble, Hinge — a carousel of hope and boredom. Even LuxeLive for a while — a stranger space, where people spoke more honestly in shadows than in daylight. For several months, I worked inside that world. It wasn’t about glamour; it w...

 I used to think I understood contracts. Numbers, signatures, clauses — I had dealt with them my whole life. But when my partner in Haifa decided that “our company” suddenly meant “his company,” I discovered a different reality. I discovered Israel’s legal maze — half logic, half mystery — and, eventually, a place called katsmanlaw.co.il . The site is in Russian, but don’t let that fool you. Behind it is a team that speaks the language of business and the bureaucracy of Israel with equal fluency. How It All Fell Apart It started with a handshake. My partner and I had opened a small logistics company, both repatriates, both full of optimism. We worked together for five years — until invoices began disappearing and clients started whispering. Then came the email: “You’re no longer authorized to sign contracts.” I thought it was a joke. It wasn’t. My name had been quietly removed from the company registration, and I didn’t even know where to start. Everywhere I turned, so...

October 13, 2025, on the day of two great Jewish holidays — Shemini Atzeret and Simchat Torah , the General Staff of the Armed Forces of Ukraine extended greetings to servicemen who practice Judaism. Primarily to Jews serving in the Armed Forces of Ukraine and the Defense Forces of Ukraine, as well as to servicemen of the Israel Defense Forces (IDF). « ... אַשְׁרֶ֨יךָ יִשְׂרָאֵ֜ל מִ֣י כָמֹ֗וךָ» « The Armed Forces of Ukraine congratulate all servicemen and servicewomen of the Armed Forces of Ukraine and the Defense Forces of Ukraine who practice Judaism, and all servicemen and servicewomen of the Israel Defense Forces on the day of two great holidays — Shemini Atzeret and Simchat Torah », — says the statement of the General Staff of the Armed Forces of Ukraine. This greeting sounds not like a formal gesture, but as a message of unity. The General Staff emphasized: the memory of past terrorist attacks and totalitarian regimes should have protected humanity from hatred, but Russia has o...
