- 0:12Speaker 1: At the International Atomic Energy Agency's 70th General Conference, Israel
- 0:17Speaker 1: Atomic Energy Commission Director General Moshe Edri stated that Iran
- 0:21Speaker 1: possesses over nine tons of nuclear material outside of the
- 0:24Speaker 1: IAEA's safeguards. Edri specified that this includes 440 kilograms of
- 0:28Speaker 1: enriched uranium, which he described as equivalent to more than
- 0:33Speaker 1: 10 nuclear devices. He accused Iran's regime of violating UN
- 0:37Speaker 1: Security Council resolutions and continuing its efforts to expand its
- 0:41Speaker 1: missile and military nuclear capabilities. Edry pointed to Iran's threats
- 0:46Speaker 1: against Israel, the US, and Gulf states as evidence of
- 0:49Speaker 1: its intentions, noting that last week, the IAEA board reported
- 0:54Speaker 1: Iran to the UN Security Council for breaching its non-proliferation obligations.
- 0:59Speaker 1: the first such report in 20 years. In Gaza, the
- 1:02Speaker 1: IDF and Shin Bet have confirmed the elimination of a
- 1:05Speaker 1: senior Hamas terrorist operative in the southern Gaza Strip. Prime
- 1:09Speaker 1: Minister Benjamin Netanyahu and Defence Minister Israel Katz announced that
- 1:13Speaker 1: the IDF struck the commander of the Rafah Brigade, Nael
- 1:17Speaker 1: Abu Abid, also known as Abu Atir. The leaders issued
- 1:20Speaker 1: a clear message. No terrorist is immune and Hamas will
- 1:24Speaker 1: not be in Gaza. This operation follows the earlier elimination
- 1:28Speaker 1: this week of the Khan Yunis brigade commander and other
- 1:31Speaker 1: senior figures within the organisation. Meanwhile, Gaza channels report an
- 1:35Speaker 1: attack on two adjacent tents in the 80 ZMOD camp
- 1:38Speaker 1: in Mawasi, Khan Yunis, resulting in two fatalities from three
- 1:42Speaker 1: missiles and a suicide drone. Also in the West Bank,
- 1:46Speaker 1: a journalist holding dual Palestinian-American nationality, reportedly associated with an
- 1:52Speaker 1: Iranian media outlet, has been detained near Bethlehem. Regionally, a
- 1:56Speaker 1: significant unannounced military summit took place in Germany last week,
- 2:00Speaker 1: organised by US CENTCOM Chief Admiral Brad Cooper. The meeting
- 2:04Speaker 1: brought together military commanders from the United States, Israel, Saudi Arabia, Bahrain, Kuwait, Qatar,
- 2:11Speaker 1: the United Arab Emirates and Egypt. According to Israeli officials
- 2:15Speaker 1: speaking to Axios, the summit focused on the conflict with Iran.
- 2:19Speaker 1: Admiral Cooper reportedly reassured the chiefs of staff of continued
- 2:23Speaker 1: US military presence in the region, and briefed them on
- 2:26Speaker 1: plans to secure the Strait of Hormuz. The IDF Chief
- 2:29Speaker 1: of Staff, Lieutenant General Eyal Zamir, also briefed the Arab
- 2:33Speaker 1: nations on Israel's operational fronts. This gathering may signal strengthening
- 2:37Speaker 1: ties between Israel and Gulf states, with Israel's ambassador to
- 2:41Speaker 1: the UAE, Yossi Shelley, suggesting Kuwait could join the Abraham
- 2:45Speaker 1: Accords within four to six months. Domestically, recent polls indicate
- 2:49Speaker 1: a deepening political deadlock in Israel. with neither the current
- 2:53Speaker 1: coalition nor the opposition bloc appearing capable of forming a
- 2:56Speaker 1: 61-seat majority government, potentially leading to considerations of minority governments.
- 3:02Speaker 1: In the Galilee, Arab residents demonstrated against Jewish settlement, chanting
- 3:07Speaker 1: Long Live Palestine. Commenting on the situation, Yanon Magal suggested
- 3:11Speaker 1: that a right-wing government's return could lead to a fight
- 3:14Speaker 1: for the Galilee. Separately, opposition leader Yair Lapid has vowed
- 3:18Speaker 1: that his party will pursue equal rights for the LGBTQ
- 3:21Speaker 1: community and enable civil marriage if it joins the next government. Internationally,
- 3:27Speaker 1: a new political party has been registered for the upcoming
- 3:29Speaker 1: general election in New Zealand, named the Palestine Free from
- 3:32Speaker 1: the River to the Sea Party. Reports indicate the party
- 3:36Speaker 1: is linked to the Popular Front for the Liberation of Palestine,
- 3:39Speaker 1: or PFLP, and advocates for dismantling the state of Israel,
- 3:43Speaker 1: while supporting all forms of Palestinian resistance, including armed resistance.
- 3:48Speaker 1: Despite significant opposition submissions, the party was approved and will
- 3:52Speaker 1: receive taxpayer-funded election broadcasting money. For continuing coverage of antisemitism
