- 0:12Speaker 1: British Foreign Secretary Ed Miliband has issued a strong warning
- 0:15Speaker 1: to Iran's Foreign Minister, Arbus Arachi, stating that the UK
- 0:19Speaker 1: will not tolerate any hostile activity, intimidation or threats originating
- 0:24Speaker 1: from Iran-linked groups on British soil. The two officials met
- 0:27Speaker 1: on the sidelines of the United Nations General Assembly in
- 0:30Speaker 1: New York. Miliband also urged Iran to pursue de-escalation and
- 0:34Speaker 1: diplomacy and stressed the importance of fully reopening the Strait
- 0:38Speaker 1: of Hormuz, warning that continued disruption to the key shipping
- 0:41Speaker 1: route could affect global security and economic stability. According to
- 0:46Speaker 1: the British Foreign Office, the Foreign Secretary made clear Britain's
- 0:49Speaker 1: commitment to confronting threats from Iran-linked groups operating in the UK.
- 0:54Speaker 1: This warning comes after Britain's National Cyber Security Centre reported
- 0:59Speaker 1: that Iranian state-linked cyber actors had used a spyware tool
- 1:02Speaker 1: known as Chosen Brick to steal sensitive information through spear-phishing campaigns.
- 1:07Speaker 1: In Brooklyn, a knife-wielding man chased a 24-year-old Jewish man
- 1:11Speaker 1: into his home while shouting anti-Semitic slurs, including Heil fucking Hitler,
- 1:16Speaker 1: before allegedly slashing bicycle tyres outside. Police arrested the suspect
- 1:21Speaker 1: and charged him with aggravated harassment as a hate crime
- 1:24Speaker 1: and menacing. This incident comes as, separately, a 66-year-old Jewish
- 1:29Speaker 1: rabbi was beaten in the face and body in a
- 1:31Speaker 1: different Brooklyn attack. While a suspect was arrested in the
- 1:34Speaker 1: rabbi's case, police have not classified it as a hate crime.
- 1:38Speaker 1: These events occur as the NYPD has recorded at least
- 1:41Speaker 1: 229 anti-Jewish hate crimes this year, making up 54% of
- 1:46Speaker 1: all confirmed hate crimes in New York City, and marking
- 1:49Speaker 1: an 8% increase from the same period last year, according
- 1:53Speaker 1: to World Israel News. From Israel, IDF reservist Neria Leiter,
- 1:58Speaker 1: son of Israel's ambassador to the US Yetiel Leiter, was
- 2:01Speaker 1: seriously wounded Wednesday when a Palestinian attacker rammed a vehicle
- 2:05Speaker 1: into him at a checkpoint near Beit Horon. Doctors said
- 2:08Speaker 1: his condition had stabilised after surgery, but his life remained
- 2:12Speaker 1: in danger. His older brother, Major Reserve Mosh Yedidia Leiter,
- 2:16Speaker 1: was killed fighting in Gaza in November 2023. In a
- 2:20Speaker 1: separate incident, former Prime Minister Naftali Bennett was escorted from
- 2:24Speaker 1: Moti's restaurant in Bnei Brak on Thursday evening, after a
- 2:27Speaker 1: disturbance broke out during his visit. Police arrested a suspect
- 2:31Speaker 1: after an object was thrown, which struck one of Bennett's
- 2:34Speaker 1: female staff members. Bennett was visiting the city for a
- 2:37Speaker 1: parliament event with yeshiva students. For continuing coverage of antisemitism
