  Speaker 1: the Palestinian Authority, the bodies associated with them, and against
• 0:54
  Speaker 1: all terrorist infrastructure in Judea and Samaria. In order to
• 0:57
  Speaker 1: quickly bring about their complete defeat, Prime Minister Netanyahu echoed
• 1:01
  Speaker 1: this resolve, supporting the IDF's efforts to eliminate terrorists and
• 1:05
  Speaker 1: pursue those who send them, vowing, anyone who tries to
• 1:09
  Speaker 1: threaten the state of Israel and its citizens will pay
• 1:11
  Speaker 1: a heavy price. Recent IDF operations have uncovered significant weaponry,
• 1:16
  Speaker 1: including an M16 rifle and explosives in Aqaba, northern Samaria,
• 1:21
  Speaker 1: and a terrorist cell in Kabatia was arrested, believed to
• 1:24
  Speaker 1: be preparing for a major attack. In a separate incident,
• 1:28
  Speaker 1: IDF forces neutralised a Palestinian attacker near the village of
• 1:31
  Speaker 1: Kabalan after he stabbed an Israeli south of the cross
• 1:34
  Speaker 1: Samaria road. Police also reported the discovery of two Carlo-type
• 1:39
  Speaker 1: weapons and compatible magazines in an open area in the
• 1:42
  Speaker 1: Kafir Qasim sector. Meanwhile, Germany has asked the International Court
• 1:46
  Speaker 1: of Justice to reject a case brought by Nicaragua accusing
• 1:50
  Speaker 1: Berlin of violating the Genocide Convention by supplying arms to Israel.
• 1:55
  Speaker 1: Germany's legal advisers argue Nicaragua did not follow proper preliminary
• 1:59
  Speaker 1: steps and that much of the claim falls outside the
• 2:02
  Speaker 1: court's jurisdiction. Nicaragua, which broke off diplomatic ties with Israel
• 2:07
  Speaker 1: in 2024, will have an opportunity to argue its case.
• 2:10
  Speaker 1: On the international front, US Energy Secretary Chris Wright indicated
• 2:15
  Speaker 1: a potential shift in US strategy towards preventing Iran from
• 2:19
  Speaker 1: acquiring nuclear weapons. Speaking on ABC News, this week, Wright
• 2:23
  Speaker 1: stated that Washington might ultimately rely on military force rather
• 2:27
  Speaker 1: than a negotiated agreement. He said, there may not be
• 2:30
  Speaker 1: a nuclear agreement. It may be simply destroying their capabilities
• 2:34
  Speaker 1: to do it. Suggesting the US could continue targeting Iranian
• 2:38
  Speaker 1: nuclear infrastructure. While Wright stressed that the US remains, always
• 2:42
  Speaker 1: open for a deal. And President Trump prefers negotiations. These
• 2:46
  Speaker 1: comments signal a preparedness for a strategy focused on military
• 2:50
  Speaker 1: and economic pressure, amid stalled diplomatic efforts and resumed fighting
• 2:54
  Speaker 1: following a failed memorandum of understanding. In Yemen, reports suggest
• 2:58
  Speaker 1: that government forces are making limited gains against the Iran-backed Houthis.
• 3:03
  Speaker 1: Sources indicate advances in areas like the Haze district in
• 3:06
  Speaker 1: Hodeidah province and progress in Taiz and Al-Jawf. Despite these gains,
• 3:12
  Speaker 1: Houthi forces have continued their attacks, firing ballistic missiles at
• 3:15
  Speaker 1: Taiz city. A Houthi missile attack on a civilian gathering
• 3:19
  Speaker 1: in Taiz province a day prior reportedly killed four people
• 3:22
  Speaker 1: and injured nine. The overall picture remains one of escalating conflict,
• 3:27
  Speaker 1: with both Houthi and government forces intensifying their operations. In Germany,
• 3:33
  Speaker 1: the far-right AFD has achieved a historic victory in Saxony-Anhalt,
• 3:37
  Speaker 1: raising concerns about the future of Holocaust education and remembrance policy.
• 3:41
  Speaker 1: Questions have been raised regarding the stance of AFD leader
• 3:44
  Speaker 1: Ulrich Siegmund, on Germany's Nazi past, particularly his past refusal
• 3:49
  Speaker 1: to directly rank historical crimes and his initial comments following
• 3:53
  Speaker 1: the October 7th attack on Israel. Critics, including Joseph Schuster,
• 3:58
  Speaker 1: president of the Central Council of Jews in Germany, have
• 4:01
  Speaker 1: voiced concerns that Siegmund's statements may amount to a relativization
• 4:05
  Speaker 1: of the Shoah. Within Israel's domestic political landscape, May Golan
• 4:09
  Speaker 1: reported that she declined a ministerial offer from Ben-Jever, citing
• 4:13
  Speaker 1: a need for a personal break. Separately, the Haredi Public
• 4:17
  Speaker 1: Party announced they refused an offer from Wintour. Meanwhile, key
• 4:21
  Speaker 1: party leaders including Bennett, Eisenkot, Hendel and Ofer Winter are
• 4:26
  Speaker 1: proceeding with filing their candidate lists with the Central Elections Committee,
• 4:30
  Speaker 1: marking progress in the election process. On the economic front,
• 4:34
  Speaker 1: Israeli defence company Rafael Advanced Defence Systems, along with Aurelius Capital,
• 4:39
  Speaker 1: has signed a letter of intent to purchase Volkswagen's Osnabrück
• 4:43
  Speaker 1: plant in Germany. The plan is to establish production of
• 4:46
  Speaker 1: military vehicles, launchers and other defence equipment, including components for
• 4:51
  Speaker 1: the Iron Dome system. Spear UAV, another Israeli defence tech firm,
• 4:56
  Speaker 1: announced it has nearly 1,000 Viper 300 loitering munitions ready
