• 0:08
  Speaker 1: The time is now 6.01am in New York. I'm Noah
• 0:11
  Speaker 1: Levi and this is the latest Israel Today, ongoing war report.
• 0:15
  Speaker 1: In regional impacts, the National Security Council warns that Iran
• 0:19
  Speaker 1: and its proxies remain the leading global terror threat to
• 0:22
  Speaker 1: Israelis and Jews, while stressing that no new travel warnings
• 0:25
  Speaker 1: were issued. The NSC said terrorist organisations and individual attackers
• 0:30
  Speaker 1: are continue to seek opportunities to target Israelis and Jews
• 0:34
  Speaker 1: worldwide ahead of the High Holy Days. The warning notes
• 0:37
  Speaker 1: that the threat has broadened as Israel confronts Iran, Hezbollah
• 0:40
  Speaker 1: and Hamas, and that hostile rhetoric and incitement feed motivation
• 0:44
  Speaker 1: among attackers. The NSC highlighted the third anniversary of the
• 0:48
  Speaker 1: October 7 massacre as a particularly sensitive period, while cautioning
• 0:53
  Speaker 1: that October 2026 could see large protests, some violent, alongside
• 0:58
  Speaker 1: intensified attempts to carry out attacks. Iran and its proxies
• 1:02
  Speaker 1: are identified as the main global terrorist threat, with Tehran
• 1:05
  Speaker 1: driven in part by retaliation for blows it has suffered
• 1:08
  Speaker 1: in recent years. In US policy concerning Israel, Israeli security
• 1:13
  Speaker 1: agencies have thwarted dozens of plots against Jews abroad over
• 1:17
  Speaker 1: the past year, while maintaining heightened vigilance ahead of the
• 1:20
  Speaker 1: Jewish holiday season. A senior National Security Council official told
• 1:25
  Speaker 1: the Jerusalem Post that Iran and Hezbollah are expanding efforts
• 1:28
  Speaker 1: to carry out attacks against Israelis and Jews worldwide. With
• 1:32
  Speaker 1: a growing number of plots and preparations, the official said
• 1:36
  Speaker 1: Iran has devoted increasing resources to promoting terrorism globally, including
• 1:41
  Speaker 1: through the Islamic Revolutionary Guard Corps, Quds Force and intelligence bodies.
• 1:46
  Speaker 1: He added, there are many people who wake up in
• 1:47
  Speaker 1: the morning and their entire mission is to promote attacks
• 1:50
  Speaker 1: against Israelis and Jews around the world. In Israeli domestic politics,
• 1:55
  Speaker 1: Chili Tropper and Yos Hendel announced they would pursue separate
• 1:59
  Speaker 1: political paths, while stressing that their ideological partnership and decades-long
• 2:03
  Speaker 1: friendship remain intact. In a joint statement, the pair recalled
• 2:07
  Speaker 1: their two decades as neighbours and friends, and their past
• 2:10
  Speaker 1: service together in the reserves, saying they chose to serve
• 2:14
  Speaker 1: the public through the political arena in ways both together
• 2:17
  Speaker 1: and separately, but with a very similar ideological outlook. the
• 2:21
  Speaker 1: move follows their earlier plan to run together in the
• 2:23
  Speaker 1: upcoming Knesset election as Zionist-Homther reservists, aiming to build a
• 2:28
  Speaker 1: broad Zionist coalition. They said the partnership had forged an
• 2:31
  Speaker 1: important place for itself and attracted supporters, but faced with
• 2:35
  Speaker 1: recent weeks, they would proceed on separate tracks while keeping
• 2:38
  Speaker 1: common ground. In a Hebrew-language report, Israel Prize laureate Adi
• 2:43
  Speaker 1: Altshuler joined Eisenkot, a development reported in that outlet. In
• 2:47
  Speaker 1: Antisemitism and Anti-Jewish Hate, The Israeli-American Council has launched a
• 2:52
  Speaker 1: petition calling on Ed Sheeran to drop rapper Macklemore from
• 2:55
  Speaker 1: the remainder of the tour, after he used his opening
• 2:57
  Speaker 1: set to advocate for free Palestine. The show at MetLife
• 3:01
  Speaker 1: Stadium in New Jersey featured Macklemore calling for freeing Palestine
• 3:06
  Speaker 1: and accusing Israel of genocide, with a video montage including
• 3:09
  Speaker 1: Gaza imagery. Stop Antisemitism posted on X that Jewish patrons
• 3:14
  Speaker 1: should not be subjected to such propaganda, and complained that
• 3:17
  Speaker 1: fans paid for a show only to be confronted by
• 3:20
  Speaker 1: on-stage politics. The IAC petition argues for refunds and apologies,
• 3:25
  Speaker 1: and for McLemore to be removed from the tour. In
• 3:28
  Speaker 1: uplifting news, a modern-day pilgrimage to Jerusalem is described as
• 3:32
  Speaker 1: a journey of personal growth and connection, rather than ritual alone.
• 3:36
  Speaker 1: Four Christians and three Jews, speaking six languages across six days,
• 3:41
  Speaker 1: and covering 111 kilometres from Jaffa Port to Jaffa Gate,
• 3:45
  Speaker 1: joined by Michigan resident Jodie Burnett and her husband John Belsher.
• 3:49
  Speaker 1: The group included participants from Taiwan, Catalonia, West Virginia and Israel,
• 3:55
  Speaker 1: and faced language barriers that were navigated through gestures, glances
• 3:58
  Speaker 1: and shared songs. Guided by an English-speaking leader, the travellers
• 4:02
  Speaker 1: stayed in Christian monasteries, Arab villages and Jewish quarters, forging
• 4:07
  Speaker 1: bonds and gaining perspectives on the diverse tapestry of the land.
