Transcript
- 0:08Speaker 1: You're listening to Israel Today ongoing war report, I'm Noah Levi.
- 0:12Speaker 1: Reports indicate heightened security as alarms sounded at US bases
- 0:16Speaker 1: in Jordan, including Muafak Salty Air Base. This follows reports
- 0:20Speaker 1: of sirens at a US installation. The activity coincides with
- 0:24Speaker 1: renewed US military planning concerning Iran, with Washington reportedly weighing
- 0:29Speaker 1: military escalation. President Donald Trump has insisted that Tehran cannot
- 0:33Speaker 1: pursue its nuclear programme without approval from Washington. Amidst this,
- 0:38Speaker 1: General Dan Cain, chairman of the Joint Chiefs of Staff,
- 0:42Speaker 1: was seen leaving the White House following a briefing for
- 0:44Speaker 1: President Trump on possible strikes. In other developments, Israeli authorities
- 0:49Speaker 1: are preparing for the expected evacuation of a Nachala outpost
- 0:52Speaker 1: near Gaza next week. Officials from KKLJNF and police toured
- 0:57Speaker 1: Simhoni Forest ahead of the planned move. Police hope for
- 1:00Speaker 1: an agreement but are preparing to use force if needed,
- 1:03Speaker 1: while activists plan to relocate elsewhere near the Strip. Turning
- 1:07Speaker 1: to American politics, a national poll of Jewish voters, surveyed
- 1:11Speaker 1: from October 28 to November 3, found that while the
- 1:14Speaker 1: future of democracy was cited as their top concern for
- 1:17Speaker 1: the 2026 midterm elections, antisemitism ranked third with 21% and
- 1:22Speaker 1: Israel fifth with 14%. The poll also noted President Trump's
- 1:27Speaker 1: announcement on election day regarding his plan to end the $ 3. 8
- 1:31Speaker 1: billion defence assistance to Israel before year-end. Domestically, Israeli politics
- 1:37Speaker 1: remain in a deadlock. Eisenkot faces difficult choices regarding government formation,
- 1:42Speaker 1: weighing options like minority rule, deals with Arab and Haredi parties,
- 1:47Speaker 1: or a unity government with Netanyahu, despite securing recommendations. And finally,
- 1:52Speaker 1: flights to Israel were disrupted by a wave of bomb
- 1:54Speaker 1: threats across Europe. A KLM flight from Bucharest to Tel
- 1:58Speaker 1: Aviv was among at least 27 passenger planes that faced
- 2:02Speaker 1: diversions or inspections due to hoax threats on Thursday. Separately,
- 2:07Speaker 1: Turkey's parliament has ratified a defence pact with Pakistan and
- 2:10Speaker 1: Saudi Arabia. For continuing coverage of antisemitism around the world,
