- 0:12Speaker 1: We begin today with an intriguing analysis of Israeli domestic politics.
- 0:16Speaker 1: According to reporting from jpost.com, Israeli media polls may be
- 0:20Speaker 1: misrepresenting public opinion. The claim is that by counting political
- 0:24Speaker 1: blocks in specific ways, a false impression of a close
- 0:28Speaker 1: race or even a right-wing advantage is being created for
- 0:31Speaker 1: Prime Minister Netanyahu. The analysis suggests that when all parties
- 0:35Speaker 1: opposed to Netanyahu's continued rule are counted together, they form
- 0:39Speaker 1: a solid majority in the Knesset, far exceeding the number
- 0:43Speaker 1: needed to form a government. This method, the report argues,
- 0:46Speaker 1: conflates bloc strength with governing coalition potential, becoming a significant
- 0:51Speaker 1: political tool. Turning to Gaza, UNICEF has released a sobering report.
- 0:56Speaker 1: According to UNICEF, over 340 Palestinian children have been killed
- 1:00Speaker 1: and hundreds more injured in the Gaza Strip since the
- 1:03Speaker 1: ceasefire agreement. The report attributes these casualties to Israeli attacks.
- 1:08Speaker 1: In the West Bank, tensions were evident during the annual
- 1:11Speaker 1: olive harvest. Reuters reports that dozens of militant Israeli settlers,
- 1:16Speaker 1: masked and clad in black, targeted Palestinians participating in the harvest.
- 1:20Speaker 1: On the diplomatic front, Chinese Foreign Minister Wang Yi, speaking
- 1:24Speaker 1: at a Baku summit, urged Israel to cease the forced
- 1:27Speaker 1: establishment of settlements. He also declared the Palestinian question to
- 1:32Speaker 1: be the century's greatest historical injustice. For continuing coverage of
