  Speaker 1: banned weapons. which release numerous submunitions over a wide area
• 1:03
  Speaker 1: and can remain dangerous for decades. Human Rights Watch noted
• 1:07
  Speaker 1: that while these specific attacks did not result in civilian casualties,
• 1:11
  Speaker 1: the use of cluster munitions in civilian areas is a
• 1:14
  Speaker 1: violation of international law. Hezbollah has denied using these weapons,
• 1:19
  Speaker 1: though the UN has also confirmed Hezbollah fired unguided rockets
• 1:22
  Speaker 1: into populated civilian areas. On the political front, Prime Minister
• 1:27
  Speaker 1: Benjamin Netanyahu has accused Palestinian politician Mohamed Dahlan of fabricating
• 1:32
  Speaker 1: a Haaretz report alleging the UAE warned Israel of an
• 1:36
  Speaker 1: impending attack before October 7th. Dahlan's representatives have denied this,
• 1:41
  Speaker 1: calling it a political manoeuvre. This comes as growing evidence
• 1:45
  Speaker 1: suggests that Prime Minister Netanyahu was indeed alerted to an
• 1:48
  Speaker 1: impending Hamas attack prior to the October 7th events, raising
• 1:52
  Speaker 1: significant questions. Meanwhile, Knesset Speaker Amir Ohana commented on British

• 2:28
  Speaker 1: accompanying family members. About 6,000 individuals entered Gaza during the

  Speaker 1: same period. This information emerges as senior Israeli officials debate
• 2:37
  Speaker 1: the possibility of encouraging Gazans who wish to leave to
• 2:40
  Speaker 1: resettle elsewhere. Foreign Minister Gideon Saar, however, has stressed that
• 2:45
  Speaker 1: Israel is not planning any forced removals. In Germany, the
• 2:49
  Speaker 1: far-right party, Alternative for Germany, or AFDI, secured a significant
• 2:53
  Speaker 1: victory in the Saxony-Anhalt state parliament election. This win presents

  Speaker 1: a dilemma for Israel, given the AfD's alleged ties to neo-Nazism,
