  Speaker 1: We begin with updates on the ongoing conflict with Iran
• 0:14
  Speaker 1: and its regional proxies. Despite significant Israeli and US strikes
• 0:19
  Speaker 1: in 2025 and 2026 that crippled Iran's nuclear facilities, sources
• 0:24
  Speaker 1: tell the Jerusalem Post that the potential future danger from
• 0:27
  Speaker 1: the programme remains real. While Iran is currently not operating
• 0:31
  Speaker 1: centrifuges for uranium enrichment, and its enriched uranium is not
• 0:35
  Speaker 1: easily accessible, a sizeable volume of advanced centrifuges reportedly survived
• 0:40
  Speaker 1: deep underground. Experts warn that even a few hundred salvaged
• 0:44
  Speaker 1: centrifuges could eventually be enough to secretly weaponise uranium, and
• 0:48
  Speaker 1: Iran is reportedly employing clandestine digging strategies to extract enriched
• 0:53
  Speaker 1: material and circumvent surveillance, adding to regional tensions and the
• 0:58
  Speaker 1: International Atomic Energy Agency has been unable to access Iran's
• 1:01
  Speaker 1: nuclear programme since June 2025. In southern Lebanon, Hezbollah launched
• 1:07
  Speaker 1: two explosive drones toward Israeli troops overnight, according to reports

• 1:16
  Speaker 1: conducted strikes on multiple Hezbollah terrorist infrastructure sites, including a
• 1:20
  Speaker 1: weapons storage facility, and targeted terrorists involved in weapons transfers. Meanwhile,
• 1:26
  Speaker 1: Iranian Parliament Speaker Mohammad Bagha Galibaf explicitly threatened that any

  Speaker 1: in retaliation against American energy interests throughout the region, sharply
• 1:39
  Speaker 1: escalating Tehran's threats amid renewed clashes with Washington. Turning to
• 1:43
  Speaker 1: the disputed territories, a senior Fatah official has declared it
• 1:47
  Speaker 1: impossible to hold Palestinian Authority elections in November, contradicting a
• 1:52
  Speaker 1: presidential decree. the official cited the lack of necessary steps,
• 1:56
  Speaker 1: such as a comprehensive national dialogue, as impediments. In Judea
• 2:01
  Speaker 1: and Samaria, a knife-wielding Palestinian terrorist stabbed an Israeli civilian
• 2:05
  Speaker 1: at the Mao's Yehuda farm. IDF troops launched a manhunt,
• 2:09
  Speaker 1: and the terrorist was later eliminated in the Aydna area
• 2:12
  Speaker 1: after attempting to stab soldiers. Prime Minister Netanyahu reiterated Israel's
• 2:17
  Speaker 1: commitment to eliminating terrorists, hunting those who dispatched them, and
• 2:21
  Speaker 1: destroying terrorist infrastructure in Judea and Samaria, warning that any
• 2:25
  Speaker 1: threat to Israel and its citizens will be met with
• 2:27
  Speaker 1: severe consequences. On a diplomatic note, Nauru inaugurated its first

• 2:51
  Speaker 1: Francesca Albanese has warned that the ongoing clearance of Gaza's
• 2:55
  Speaker 1: approximately 61 million tonnes of war rubble risks destroying critical
• 2:59
  Speaker 1: evidence of atrocity crimes and hindering the recovery of human remains.
• 3:04
  Speaker 1: She stressed that evidence should be gathered and human remains
• 3:07
  Speaker 1: identified before full clearance begins. Israel's government has historically disagreed
• 3:12
  Speaker 1: with Albanese's statements. Separately, a delegation of 20 US state
• 3:16
  Speaker 1: lawmakers visited Samaria, and pledged to introduce legislation targeting entities
• 3:21

• 3:47
  Speaker 1: government's current religion and state policies, particularly those accommodating Haredi demands.

• 3:57
  Speaker 1: in some form, and for cutting state funding for Haredi
