  Speaker 1: The International Criminal Court in The Hague is now the
• 0:15
  Speaker 1: focus of a new complaint filed by the Hind Rajab Foundation.
• 0:18
  Speaker 1: The foundation has accused Israeli medical personnel and senior health
• 0:22
  Speaker 1: officials of complicity in alleged torture, abuse and deaths of
• 0:27
  Speaker 1: Palestinian detainees at the SDE Teh Marne detention facility. The request,
• 0:32
  Speaker 1: submitted on Thursday, asks the ICC to investigate the involvement
• 0:36
  Speaker 1: of these individuals, including health ministry officials, hospital administrators, and
• 0:41
  Speaker 1: leaders of the Israel Medical Association. In connection with abuses
• 0:45
  Speaker 1: alleged to have occurred since October 7, the Foundation asserts
• 0:49
  Speaker 1: these acts could constitute war crimes, crimes against humanity, or
• 0:53
  Speaker 1: even genocide, citing guidelines it claims were issued by the
• 0:57
  Speaker 1: health ministry, and previously published testimonies regarding surgeries without adequate
• 1:02
  Speaker 1: pain relief and amputations due to prolonged shackling. The timing
• 1:06
  Speaker 1: of this submission coincides with the World Medical Association's General Assembly,
• 1:11
  Speaker 1: where representatives from the Israel Medical Association are participating. Shifting
• 1:16
  Speaker 1: focus to international dynamics, the concept of an October surprise
• 1:20
  Speaker 1: is resurfacing as a potential factor in the upcoming US elections.
• 1:25
  Speaker 1: This term, historically referring to outside interventions capable of influencing
• 1:29
  Speaker 1: election outcomes, is now being discussed in relation to Iran.
• 1:33
  Speaker 1: Theories suggest Tehran could engineer events, such as new attacks
• 1:37
  Speaker 1: on neighbouring countries to drive up oil prices, or internal unrest,
• 1:41
  Speaker 1: with the aim of impacting the US presidential race. The
• 1:45
  Speaker 1: discussion draws on past instances, including alleged actions in 1980
• 1:50
  Speaker 1: and 2009, and considers various scenarios, from military escalations to
• 1:55
  Speaker 1: internal Iranian uprisings. Domestically, the Prime Minister's office has publicly
• 2:00
  Speaker 1: recognised the creators of NAZA, The True Story, a film
• 2:04
  Speaker 1: that challenges allegations made in the controversial documentary, NAZA, regarding
• 2:09
  Speaker 1: IDF actions in Gaza. Tzipi Hotovli, head of the National
• 2:13
  Speaker 1: Public Diplomacy Directorate, presented certificates of appreciation, stating the film
• 2:18
  Speaker 1: defends Israeli soldiers by refuting what she called blood libels.
• 2:23
  Speaker 1: The government asserts the film, presents Israel's truth and the
• 2:26
  Speaker 1: morality of IDF soldiers. This comes as the original NAZA documentary,
• 2:32
  Speaker 1: which alleged the Israeli military incorporated projections of high civilian
• 2:35
  Speaker 1: deaths into targeting decisions and questioned the use of AI,
• 2:39
  Speaker 1: faces strong denials from the IDF. In parallel, a 2026
• 2:44
  Speaker 1: Hebrew University survey reveals a notable shift in Israeli identity
• 2:48
  Speaker 1: and perceptions. The findings indicate a strengthened sense of Israeli identity.
• 2:53
  Speaker 1: particularly among Jewish Israelis, who increasingly view the country as
• 2:57
  Speaker 1: more Middle Eastern than European. The survey also highlights a
• 3:00
  Speaker 1: significant gap in perceived safety for Jews, with Israelis overwhelmingly
• 3:05
  Speaker 1: reporting Israel as safer than Europe, a view not shared
• 3:08
  Speaker 1: equally by European respondents. Israelis also expressed growing scepticism towards
• 3:13
  Speaker 1: the European Union and identified France and Spain as countries
• 3:17
  Speaker 1: perceived as most antisemitic. Arab-Israeli respondents, however, were more likely
• 3:23
  Speaker 1: to report a weakened sense of Israeli identity. Finally, in
• 3:27
  Speaker 1: a health research update, a joint Australian-Israeli study has identified
• 3:31
  Speaker 1: the specific cellular mechanism by which premature birth disrupts kidney development.
• 3:36
  Speaker 1: Researchers at Hadassah University Medical Center and Monash University uncovered
• 3:41
  Speaker 1: how this disruption can lead to a lifelong shortfall of
• 3:44
  Speaker 1: vital kidney filtration units. The findings, published in iScience, could
• 3:49
  Speaker 1: pave the way for future preventative treatments to protect the
• 3:51
  Speaker 1: kidneys of babies born prematurely. For continuing coverage of antisemitism
