  Speaker 1: We begin with a developing incident in the vital Strait
• 0:14
  Speaker 1: of Hormuz. An oil tanker, identified as the Panamanian flag Delgaya,
• 0:19
  Speaker 1: exploded and caught fire after colliding with mines. Iran's IRGC
• 0:24
  Speaker 1: reported the incident on Monday, according to state media Fars,
• 0:28
  Speaker 1: though the exact timing was not specified. This maritime chokepoint
• 0:32
  Speaker 1: is critical for global oil transit. The tanker was carrying
• 0:35
  Speaker 1: Indian crew, and reports indicate 13 of 14 individuals have
• 0:39
  Speaker 1: been rescued, with search operations ongoing. This event follows weeks
• 0:44
  Speaker 1: after US President Donald Trump announced the removal of mines
• 0:47
  Speaker 1: from the strait, turning to reports of antisemitism. A Vietnamese
• 0:52
  Speaker 1: restaurant in Denver, Colorado named Sap Sua, is facing significant
• 0:56
  Speaker 1: public scrutiny after its Instagram account posted that Jews are welcome.
• 1:00
  Speaker 1: Zionists are not. This statement, shared by organisations like the
• 1:04
  Speaker 1: Jewish Alliance of Colorado and Stop Antisemitism, effectively excludes many
• 1:09
  Speaker 1: Jewish individuals. The controversy escalated when the restaurant's co-chef and owner,
• 1:14
  Speaker 1: Antony Nainuyen, reportedly stated that the establishment welcomes everyone except
• 1:19
  Speaker 1: those aligned with Israel's genocidal apartheid, Sikh, ethno-supremacist regime. Nuyen
• 1:25
  Speaker 1: also controversially claimed that Israelis were dancing and celebrating. during
• 1:29
  Speaker 1: the September 11th attacks. Watchdog groups are urging Colorado's Attorney
• 1:34
  Speaker 1: General to examine if this policy violates state anti-discrimination laws. Domestically,
• 1:40
  Speaker 1: Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu's ruling Likud party announced its intention
• 1:44
  Speaker 1: to file requests with the Central Elections Committee to ban
• 1:48
  Speaker 1: Arab-led parties RAM and the Joint List from participating in
• 1:51
  Speaker 1: the upcoming October elections. Likud stated there is no place
• 1:55
  Speaker 1: in the Knesset for parties that harm IDF soldiers. or
• 1:59
  Speaker 1: fail to recognise Hamas and Hezbollah as terrorist organisations. The
• 2:04
  Speaker 1: party also reiterated claims that rival candidate Gadi Eizenkot is
• 2:08
  Speaker 1: seeking to form a government with these parties. In response,
• 2:12
  Speaker 1: the joint list comprising Hardash, Taral and Balad denounced the
• 2:15
  Speaker 1: move as racist and vowed it would not be silenced.
• 2:19
  Speaker 1: This development comes amid polls indicating that neither the current
• 2:22
  Speaker 1: government bloc nor the opposition currently holds a clear majority.
• 2:26
  Speaker 1: potentially complicating coalition formations. Notably, Ram recently included its first
• 2:32
  Speaker 1: Jewish candidate on its slate. In international cultural news, Israeli
• 2:36
  Speaker 1: filmmaker Yuval Avraham's film, NAZA, which reportedly presents Israel's actions
• 2:42
  Speaker 1: in Gaza, recently won the special jury prize at the
• 2:45
  Speaker 1: 83rd Venice International Film Festival. The film, which reportedly presents
• 2:49
  Speaker 1: Israel's actions in Gaza, follows another of Avraham's works, No
• 2:54
  Speaker 1: Other Land, which previously won an award after portraying Israeli
• 2:57
  Speaker 1: actions in the West Bank. While NAZA received a lengthy
• 3:01
  Speaker 1: standing ovation, the report contrasts this with the difficulty Israeli
• 3:05
  Speaker 1: productions like the popular series, Forda, would face in gaining
• 3:09
  Speaker 1: similar international festival acclaim today. Suggesting, Forda's complex narrative about
• 3:14
  Speaker 1: the conflict is less favoured than narratives that portray Israel
• 3:18
  Speaker 1: primarily as a villain. The coverage also highlights scrutiny over
• 3:21
  Speaker 1: Avraham's past associations. Investigative journalist Aytan Fishbajer reported on Avraham's
• 3:27
  Speaker 1: long-standing relationship with Ahmed El-Nairuk, who serves as vice-president of
• 3:32
  Speaker 1: the Hamas-linked Euromed Human Rights Monitor, an organisation designated by
• 3:37
  Speaker 1: Israel as a terrorist entity known for spreading conspiracy theories.
• 3:41
  Speaker 1: El-Nairuk has made past statements supporting resistance fighters and his
• 3:45
  Speaker 1: brother was identified as a Hamas member. Israeli politicians, including
• 3:50
  Speaker 1: culture and sports minister Miki Zohar, have criticised the filmmakers.
• 3:54
  Speaker 1: with Zohar suggesting revoking citizenship. The IDF has also stated
• 3:58
  Speaker 1: its rejection of the film's allegations. For continuing coverage of
