  Speaker 1: Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu spoke with US President Donald Trump
• 0:16
  Speaker 1: last week, discussing the possibility of a renewed military campaign
• 0:20
  Speaker 1: against Iran. According to an Axios report, Netanyahu cited alleged
• 0:24
  Speaker 1: Iranian efforts to rebuild its nuclear capacity as the reason
• 0:28
  Speaker 1: for considering new strikes. Senior US officials told Axios that
• 0:32
  Speaker 1: this potential military operation could significantly impact both the upcoming
• 0:37
  Speaker 1: Israeli elections at the end of October and the US
• 0:40
  Speaker 1: midterm elections in early November. Sources said both the Israeli

  Speaker 1: In developments related to antisemitism, Israel has condemned the Netherlands
• 0:57
  Speaker 1: for its decision to ban Israeli football fans from attending
• 1:00
  Speaker 1: a Europa League match. Happel Bayer Sheva fans have been
• 1:04
  Speaker 1: banned from attending a match against AZ Alkmaar this coming Thursday,
• 1:08
  Speaker 1: reportedly over security concerns. Israel's foreign ministry posted a statement
• 1:12
  Speaker 1: on xslash Twitter saying that two years after Israelis were
• 1:16
  Speaker 1: attacked in Amsterdam, the Dutch decision bans the victims, not
• 1:19
  Speaker 1: the attackers. The ministry stated that Alkmaar's exclusion of fans
• 1:24
  Speaker 1: rewards those who threaten and incite violence, and runs counter
• 1:27
  Speaker 1: to the very spirit of sport. It also noted that
• 1:30
  Speaker 1: this exclusion comes amid a wave of anti-Semitic attacks in
• 1:33
  Speaker 1: the Netherlands, which the ministry described as increasingly becoming one
• 1:38
  Speaker 1: of the world's leading hotspots for anti-Semitism. This is the

  Speaker 1: second ban for Happel-Beyer-Chevar in less than a month, following
• 1:45
  Speaker 1: a similar situation in Leuven, Belgium. Local police also expressed
• 1:49
