- 0:35Speaker 1: the dire situation of Iran's Baloch minority, telling the Jerusalem

- 0:48Speaker 1: at least 108 Baloch individuals executed in Iran so far
- 0:52Speaker 1: this year, and Iran's practice of branding minority groups as

- 1:23Speaker 1: its alliance with the National Hispanic Christian Leadership Conference. This
- 1:27Speaker 1: collaboration aims to combat antisemitism through advocacy for safe worship
- 1:31Speaker 1: legislation and new educational initiatives. In media news, Christiane Amanpour,
- 1:37Speaker 1: CNN's chief international anchor, is departing the network. Her extensive
- 1:42Speaker 1: career has drawn sharp criticism from some Jewish and pro-Israel
- 1:45Speaker 1: viewers who have accused her coverage of Israel and the
- 1:48Speaker 1: Palestinians of giving insufficient weight to Israeli security concerns and
- 1:53Speaker 1: mischaracterizing events. In Israeli domestic politics, election manoeuvring is underway.
- 1:59Speaker 1: Finance Minister Beit Salel Smotrich has reportedly offered Ofer Winter,
- 2:03Speaker 1: leader of the People of Israel party, a ministerial position,
- 2:07Speaker 1: alongside directorates for voluntary emigration from Gaza and Haredi enlistment,
- 2:12Speaker 1: in exchange for withdrawing from an upcoming election. Prime Minister
- 2:16Speaker 1: Netanyahu has also urged Winter to step aside, warning that
- 2:19Speaker 1: a fractured right-wing vote could lead to a left-wing government.
- 2:23Speaker 1: Similar efforts were reportedly made to entice Moti Leitner, head
- 2:26Speaker 1: of the Chayadi Public Party, with a special advisor role. Meanwhile,
- 2:30Speaker 1: Haredi protesters blocked Highway 4 near Rannana, demonstrating over a
- 2:35Speaker 1: misunderstanding about a young man's custody. Authorities clarified he had
- 2:39Speaker 1: been transferred to military police as a deserter. In a

- 2:55Speaker 1: announced a plan to ban an app, citing claims that
- 2:57Speaker 1: it aims to prevent the use of data by Jerusalem.
- 3:00Speaker 1: This follows a similar plan to ban the app entirely
- 3:03Speaker 1: in Iraq. And in uplifting news, Majin David Adom, Israel's
- 3:07Speaker 1: national emergency medical service, has inaugurated 96 new ambulances. Donated
