- 0:12Speaker 1: In international security news, reports indicate Israel warned its US
- 0:17Speaker 1: and German partners three weeks prior to publication about a
- 0:20Speaker 1: potential threat from Iranian intelligence services targeting US military bases
- 0:25Speaker 1: in Germany. Concerns are focused on bases like Ramstein and Spangdahlem,
- 0:30Speaker 1: linked to US operations supporting the conflict with Iran. Domestically,
- 0:35Speaker 1: a Channel 12 investigation has revealed documents that reportedly reached
- 0:39Speaker 1: Prime Minister Netanyahu months before the October 7 massacre. This
- 0:43Speaker 1: reporting continues to raise questions about the Prime Minister's awareness
- 0:46Speaker 1: of warnings at the time. On the security front, an
- 0:50Speaker 1: indictment has been filed in Jerusalem District Court against a
- 0:53Speaker 1: 22-year-old pharmacy student from Beit Hanina. He is charged with
- 0:57Speaker 1: preparing a murderous terrorist act. including plans to use explosive
- 1:02Speaker 1: devices and poisons against Israeli security forces and civilians. Separately,
- 1:07Speaker 1: reports citing the Wall Street Journal suggest the FlyJubai co-pilot
- 1:10Speaker 1: who attempted to hijack a flight to Tel Aviv had
- 1:13Speaker 1: intended to crash the plane into an Israeli target, like
- 1:17Speaker 1: Ben-Gurion Airport, due to the situation in Gaza. A new
- 1:20Speaker 1: study from the Jerusalem Center for Security and Foreign Affairs,
- 1:24Speaker 1: authored by Lieutenant Colonel, Reserve, Jonathan Daho-Halvey, details how Hamas
- 1:29Speaker 1: employed sophisticated strategic deception. The study indicates Hamas used double
- 1:34Speaker 1: agents as late as the eve of the October 7
- 1:37Speaker 1: invasion to feed false information to Israeli intelligence, creating a
- 1:41Speaker 1: false sense of routine, a tactic acknowledged by Hamas officials. Domestically,
- 1:46Speaker 1: Israeli police are preparing for a complex Thursday. They face
- 1:50Speaker 1: potential ultra-Orthodox protests against IDF-draft evader arrests, coinciding with a
- 1:55Speaker 1: large concert at Ramat Gan Stadium, expected to draw 17,000 people.
- 2:01Speaker 1: This combination raises concerns about significant traffic congestion and road
- 2:05Speaker 1: blockages in the Tel Aviv metropolitan area. In the political arena,
- 2:10Speaker 1: ahead of the October 27 elections, Yoaz Hendel has called
- 2:14Speaker 1: on Ofa Winter to sign a surplus vote-sharing agreement and
- 2:18Speaker 1: jointly pledged to join only a Zionist government devoid of
- 2:21Speaker 1: Haredi or Arab parties. Meanwhile, recent polling suggests opposition parties
- 2:26Speaker 1: are not achieving their hoped-for voter traction from outside their bloc,
- 2:30Speaker 1: largely impacting each other. Adding to the political discourse, Rabbi
- 2:34Speaker 1: Yitzhak Yosef has publicly criticised MK Itamar Ben-Givir for ascending
- 2:39Speaker 1: the Temple Mount against rabbinical rulings. In defence news, senior
- 2:43Speaker 1: officials allege that the Ministry of Finance deliberately sabotaged a
- 2:47Speaker 1: critical Apache helicopter procurement deal, actions they describe as detrimental
- 2:52Speaker 1: to Israel's security. On a more positive note, six Israeli
- 2:56Speaker 1: civilians were honoured with the Presidential Award for Civilian Heroism
- 2:59Speaker 1: for their bravery in preventing the attempted fly-Jubai hijacking. Israel
- 3:04Speaker 1: Bonds also received the President's Medal of Honour for its
- 3:07Speaker 1: economic support. For continuing coverage of antisemitism around the world,
