- 0:12Speaker 1: France has joined a UK-led sanctions regime against Israeli towns
- 0:16Speaker 1: in Judea and Samaria, prompting Jerusalem to consider retaliatory measures,
- 0:20Speaker 1: according to World Israel News. Foreign Minister Gideon Saar signalled
- 0:25Speaker 1: Tuesday that Israel's response would not necessarily be limited to Britain, stating...
- 0:30Speaker 1: Steps against Israel will not remain without a response. Israel
- 0:34Speaker 1: is considering measures similar to those taken against the UK,
- 0:37Speaker 1: which included closing the British consulate in Jerusalem and removing
- 0:41Speaker 1: personnel from the Civil Military Coordination Centre. Reports from jpost.com indicate. Meanwhile,
- 0:48Speaker 1: mounting evidence suggests US pressure is causing London to de-escalate
- 0:52Speaker 1: a diplomatic crisis with Israel, triggered by British sanctions, according
- 0:56Speaker 1: to Israel Today. French officials argued their policy targets settlements
- 1:00Speaker 1: rather than Israel as a whole, citing rising violence and
- 1:04Speaker 1: Israel's decision to issue tenders for construction in the Eon area,
- 1:08Speaker 1: east of Jerusalem. In parallel, a senior Biden administration official
- 1:12Speaker 1: told the Jerusalem Post that the US had no knowledge
- 1:15Speaker 1: of any specific warning from the United Arab Emirates about
- 1:19Speaker 1: Hamas's impending, major move, before the October 7 massacre. This
- 1:24Speaker 1: follows reports in outlets like Haaretz claiming UAE President Mohammed
- 1:28Speaker 1: bin Zayed. Al Nahyan spoke with Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu
- 1:32Speaker 1: over a week before the attack, warning of a major
- 1:35Speaker 1: move that could lead to bloodshed. Prime Minister Netanyahu has
- 1:38Speaker 1: instructed his lawyers to sue Haaretz and journalist Shlomi Eldar
- 1:42Speaker 1: for libel over the report, calling it completely fabricated and
- 1:46Speaker 1: part of a sinister plot with clear political timing, according
- 1:50Speaker 1: to the Prime Minister's office. Haaretz, however, stated it stands
- 1:53Speaker 1: by its report. The Prime Minister is demanding the article
- 1:57Speaker 1: be deleted, an apology published, and one million Israeli shekels
- 2:01Speaker 1: in compensation, reports indicate. Turning to Gaza, the IDF and
- 2:06Speaker 1: ISA carried out precision strikes destroying three weapons storage facilities
- 2:10Speaker 1: belonging to Hamas and Palestinian Islamic Jihad, as well as
- 2:14Speaker 1: a rocket launch pit, according to reports. Intelligence indicated these
- 2:18Speaker 1: sites were accessed by Hamas terrorists for consolidation and operations.
- 2:23Speaker 1: On the regional front, reports have emerged from Iran indicating
- 2:26Speaker 1: popular unrest in multiple cities. This comes as President Trump
- 2:31Speaker 1: previously urged the Iranian people to rise up, and Prime
- 2:34Speaker 1: Minister Netanyahu has stated that toppling the regime is now
- 2:37Speaker 1: a central objective that is within reach. In domestic political news,
- 2:42Speaker 1: Tzedvika Foghul stated that his chosen state path is not
- 2:46Speaker 1: compatible with MK Itamar Ben-Givir's vision for the composition of
- 2:50Speaker 1: the next political list, and that their decision to part
- 2:53Speaker 1: ways was not due to conditions for a ministerial role.
