- 0:08Speaker 1: You're listening to Israel Today ongoing war report. I'm Noah Levi.
- 0:12Speaker 1: The situation in Gaza continues to be marked by ongoing
- 0:15Speaker 1: displacement as Israel's yellow line demarcation moves westward. This line,
- 0:20Speaker 1: part of a ceasefire agreement from October 2025, has seen
- 0:24Speaker 1: Israeli forces expand their control to approximately 65% of Gaza,
- 0:29Speaker 1: an increase from the initially agreed-upon 53%. Residents like Mahmoud
- 0:34Speaker 1: Hazin in Shujaia are forced to move repeatedly, seeking safety
- 0:37Speaker 1: from shelling, drones and stray bullets, with each relocation offering
- 0:42Speaker 1: only temporary respite. Al Jazeera reports that this constant shifting
- 0:46Speaker 1: of boundaries restricts where Palestinian families can live and move.
- 0:50Speaker 1: Since the war began in October 2023, over 74,000 Palestinians
- 0:52Speaker 1: have been killed, with nearly 1,500 losing their lives in
- 0:55Speaker 1: the past year alone. In the United States, a new
- 1:02Speaker 1: network of wealthy, often lesser-known donors, is channeling millions into
- 1:06Speaker 1: political campaigns to influence policy on Israel. An investigation by
- 1:11Speaker 1: the Wall Street Journal, as reported by World Israel News,
- 1:15Speaker 1: identifies a super PAC called American Priorities, established in 2026.
- 1:19Speaker 1: This PAC is reportedly aimed at unseating pro-Israel Democrats and
- 1:24Speaker 1: challenging the influence of established groups like AIPAC during the
- 1:28Speaker 1: current 2025-2026 election cycle. Key contributors include technology executives Mohamed
- 1:35Speaker 1: Warkas and Omar Hassan, who together have donated over $ 2 million.
- 1:40Speaker 1: The funding appears to support candidates critical of Israel and
- 1:43Speaker 1: aspects of US policy towards the nation. On the business
- 1:47Speaker 1: and economy front, air travel faced disruptions on Tuesday due
- 1:50Speaker 1: to bomb threats targeting Delta Airlines flights connected to Israel.
- 1:55Speaker 1: A plane scheduled to depart from New York's JFK airport
- 1:58Speaker 1: for Tel Aviv was grounded, after police received a bomb
- 2:01Speaker 1: threat call. This incident followed a similar threat made against
- 2:04Speaker 1: a Delta flight that had arrived at Ben Gurion Airport
- 2:07Speaker 1: earlier that morning from New York. In both cases, security
- 2:12Speaker 1: forces conducted thorough inspections and evacuations, ultimately finding no suspicious
- 2:17Speaker 1: objects or explosives, with authorities suspecting a hoax. The threats
- 2:21Speaker 1: caused significant delays. For continuing coverage of antisemitism around the world,
