- 0:08Speaker 1: Welcome to Israel Today, ongoing war report. Staying informed is key,
- 0:12Speaker 1: and this hour we're bringing you crucial updates spanning international implications,
- 0:16Speaker 1: vital diplomatic efforts and concerning incidents. I'm Noah Levi. We
- 0:21Speaker 1: begin with significant international developments. US officials have reportedly linked
- 0:26Speaker 1: Chinese entities to the July 17 Iranian missile, strike in
- 0:30Speaker 1: Jordan that tragically killed three American troops. The Wall Street
- 0:34Speaker 1: Journal reports this finding as the clearest evidence to date
- 0:37Speaker 1: of Chinese support, carrying lethal consequences for US forces. While
- 0:41Speaker 1: Beijing has rejected these allegations and demanded proof, American officials
- 0:46Speaker 1: are also raising concerns that such Chinese assistance could be
- 0:49Speaker 1: helping Iran track US naval assets, a capability that appears
- 0:53Speaker 1: to have become more effective recently. This comes amid previous
- 0:57Speaker 1: US sanctions on Chinese satellite companies for similar activities. Turning
- 1:02Speaker 1: now to diplomatic channels, US State Department officials have confirmed
- 1:06Speaker 1: that crucial talks between Israel and Lebanon will take place
- 1:09Speaker 1: next week. Moving from their originally planned location in Rome
- 1:12Speaker 1: to Washington DC, the agenda is set to focus on
- 1:16Speaker 1: ongoing developments and the implementation of a trilateral framework aimed
- 1:20Speaker 1: at restoring Lebanon's sovereignty while ensuring Israel's security. A subsequent
- 1:25Speaker 1: round of formal discussions is expected to be held in
- 1:28Speaker 1: Rome in October. We must also address reports of rising antisemitism.
- 1:33Speaker 1: In Phuket, Thailand, a planned Rosh Hashanah meal at a
- 1:36Speaker 1: local Chabad house was disrupted by an anti-Israel protest. Sources
- 1:40Speaker 1: say over 500 people marched, chanting slogans and reportedly issuing
- 1:45Speaker 1: messages that included antisemitic language. Organisers attempted to justify their actions,
- 1:51Speaker 1: by stating it was a step to protect the traditions
- 1:53Speaker 1: and customs of the Thai people from disturbances by foreigners,
- 1:57Speaker 1: though this has been seen by some as an attempt
- 1:59Speaker 1: to whitewash the antisemitism present in the demonstration. On a
- 2:03Speaker 1: different note concerning Jewish identity and history, a new book
- 2:06Speaker 1: by Professor Leila Corwin-Berman of NYU, titled Who is American?,
- 2:11Speaker 1: offers a critical look at the assumption that Jewish people
- 2:14Speaker 1: were routinely granted US citizenship without challenge. The work details
- 2:18Speaker 1: how Jewish status in America was often tested and reclassified,
- 2:22Speaker 1: exploring the impact of historical events like the establishment of
- 2:26Speaker 1: Israel and the rise of Zionism, which at times fuelled
- 2:29Speaker 1: suspicions about dual allegiance and influenced American citizenship laws for decades,
- 2:35Speaker 1: and finally, a moment of community connection as we approach
- 2:38Speaker 1: the High Holy Days. New York City Mayor Zoran Mamdani
- 2:41Speaker 1: extended Rosh Hashanah greetings to Jewish New Yorkers, sharing a
- 2:45Speaker 1: heartwarming video from City Hall. The clip shows him interacting
- 2:48Speaker 1: with young children, using traditional symbols like apples and honey
- 2:52Speaker 1: to wish for a sweet new year ahead. That's our
- 2:55Speaker 1: report for this hour. I'm Noah Levi, thank you for
