- 0:08Speaker 1: You're listening to Israel Today Ongoing War Report, I'm Noah Levi.
- 0:12Speaker 1: We begin with critical intelligence from the United Kingdom. MI5
- 0:16Speaker 1: Chief Sir Ken McCallum has sounded a serious alarm over
- 0:19Speaker 1: Iran's escalating campaign of intimidation, sabotage and violence on British soil,
- 0:24Speaker 1: with Jewish communities identified as principal targets. McCallum revealed that
- 0:29Speaker 1: over 50 arrests linked to Iran have been made in
- 0:31Speaker 1: Britain in the past year. He accused Iran's revolutionary guards
- 0:35Speaker 1: of operating through criminal proxies, linking them to a wave
- 0:39Speaker 1: of arson and sabotage attacks against synagogues, ambulances and Jewish
- 0:43Speaker 1: businesses across Europe. Concerns have also been raised about Iran's
- 0:47Speaker 1: exploitation of artificial intelligence for planning attacks. Meanwhile, in the
- 0:52Speaker 1: Middle East, Saudi Arabia reported four people wounded in Riyadh
- 0:56Speaker 1: by debris from intercepted Houthi missiles. In international forums, the
- 1:01Speaker 1: UN General Assembly has voted 95-5 to reaffirm the controversial
- 1:05Speaker 1: Durban Declaration. This comes 25 years after the original 2001
- 1:11Speaker 1: anti-racism conference, which was marred by anti-Semitic propaganda and anti-Israel hostility. Israel, Canada, Australia,
- 1:19Speaker 1: Argentina and Micronesia opposed the resolution. Israeli UN Ambassador Danny
- 1:24Speaker 1: Danon previously criticised the Durban Conference, stating it became a
- 1:28Speaker 1: platform for antisemitism and hatred of Israel. Meanwhile, on the
- 1:32Speaker 1: political front in the United States, a New York gubernatorial
- 1:36Speaker 1: debate saw Republican candidate Blakeman challenge incumbent Governor Hochul over
- 1:41Speaker 1: antisemitism and alleged ties to Mamdani. Turning to Israeli domestic politics,
- 1:46Speaker 1: Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu faces challenges in uniting right-wing parties
- 1:51Speaker 1: as an election approaches. Several smaller parties are reportedly at
- 1:55Speaker 1: risk of failing to cross the 3.25% electoral threshold, which
- 2:00Speaker 1: could lead to wasted votes and weaken his bloc. On
- 2:02Speaker 1: the security front, IDF Chief of Staff Lieutenant General Eyal Zamia,
- 2:07Speaker 1: speaking at a memorial ceremony, vowed to implement the lessons
- 2:11Speaker 1: learned from October 7. He stated the military is committed
- 2:14Speaker 1: to translating profound insights into concrete changes, updating security doctrine.
- 2:20Speaker 1: and building the IDF for the future to prevent future threats.
- 2:23Speaker 1: In business news, the return date for FlyJuby flights remains uncertain.
- 2:28Speaker 1: Reports suggest potential diplomatic strain between Israel and the United
- 2:32Speaker 1: Arab Emirates, stemming from disagreements over security and an ongoing
- 2:37Speaker 1: attack investigation. For continuing coverage of antisemitism around the world,
