  Speaker 1: in the area and launched a manhunt for potential additional perpetrators.
• 0:46
  Speaker 1: The attack reportedly targeted a reservist battalion. Turning to international tensions,
• 0:52
  Speaker 1: former US President Donald Trump accused Iran of fabricating reports
• 0:56
  Speaker 1: of attacks on oil tankers and naval mines in the
• 0:59
  Speaker 1: Strait of Hormuz. In a Truth Social post, Trump stated
• 1:03
  Speaker 1: that Iran is attempting to drive up oil prices ahead
• 1:05
  Speaker 1: of the upcoming November midterm elections by creating these false incidents.
• 1:10
  Speaker 1: He also reaffirmed his commitment that Iran would not be
• 1:13
  Speaker 1: allowed to obtain a nuclear weapon, noting that the US
• 1:17
  Speaker 1: campaign against Iran has come at a political cost, but
• 1:20
  Speaker 1: is necessary. Trump suggested that further military action against Iran
• 1:24
  Speaker 1: might occur, stating Washington had already inflicted significant damage. He
• 1:29
  Speaker 1: argued that despite alleged fabricated reports, Oil is currently moving
• 1:33
  Speaker 1: through the Strait of Hormuz at a higher rate than
• 1:35
  Speaker 1: before the conflict. Domestically, Benny Gantz announced his withdrawal from

  Speaker 1: the upcoming election on Monday night. His Blue and White
• 1:43
  Speaker 1: Party was polling around 1%, far below the threshold needed
• 1:47
  Speaker 1: for Knesset seats. Gantz stated he had failed to convince
• 1:50
  Speaker 1: enough people of his path, but would continue working for
• 1:53
  Speaker 1: a unity government. His decision drew reactions from across the
• 1:56
  Speaker 1: political spectrum, with figures like Gadi Eisenkot and Yair Golan
• 2:01
  Speaker 1: calling it responsible. while Bezalel Smotrich suggested it was to
• 2:05
  Speaker 1: prevent vote waste for the left-wing bloc. The author reflects
• 2:08
  Speaker 1: on Gantz's difficult political trajectory, including his past decisions to
• 2:13
  Speaker 1: join governments during times of deadlock and crisis, and notes
• 2:16
  Speaker 1: the polarised environment that left little room for his approach.
• 2:20
  Speaker 1: The political landscape is also being shaped by recent mandate polls,
• 2:24
  Speaker 1: with one report suggesting a significant shift in momentum for
• 2:27
  Speaker 1: a particular party. In a separate development related to life
• 2:31
  Speaker 1: in the West Bank, A religious ruling by Rabbi Dov
• 2:34
  Speaker 1: Leor permitting Jews to harvest olives from Palestinian groves has
• 2:38
  Speaker 1: sparked significant debate. Rabbi Leor argued that the land remains
• 2:42
  Speaker 1: Jewish property and that Palestinians unable to reach their trees
• 2:46
  Speaker 1: due to security concerns could be presumed to have abandoned
• 2:49
  Speaker 1: the fruit. However, Rabbi Kenneth Brander, president of Oatora Stone,
• 2:54
  Speaker 1: has offered a strong counter-argument. drawing on Jewish legal sources
• 2:58
  Speaker 1: to explain that Jewish attachment to the land does not
• 3:01
  Speaker 1: negate the private property rights of non-Jewish inhabitants. Brander emphasised
• 3:05
  Speaker 1: that being unable to access a tree does not mean
• 3:07
  Speaker 1: surrendering its fruit and that disputes should be handled through
• 3:10
  Speaker 1: competent authorities. Several other rabbinical figures and organisations have also
• 3:16
  Speaker 1: supported Brander's position, stressing the importance of teaching restraint and
• 3:20
  Speaker 1: respecting others' rights, particularly to the younger generation. For continuing
