- 0:20Speaker 1: led by Vice President and Foreign Affairs, Trade and Justice
- 0:24Speaker 1: Minister Lionel Rawan Ngaimya, attended the historic ceremony. This event
- 0:29Speaker 1: underscores Nauru's consistent and long-standing support for Israel on the
- 0:33Speaker 1: international stage. As reported by jpost.com, Nauru has been a
- 0:37Speaker 1: steadfast friend, particularly at the United Nations, and notably recognised
- 0:42Speaker 1: Jerusalem as Israel's capital in 2019. The opening marks a
- 0:46Speaker 1: milestone in the diplomatic alliance between the two nations. Turning
- 0:50Speaker 1: to domestic affairs, Israeli Culture Minister Miki Zohar is urging
- 0:54Speaker 1: the revocation of citizenship for filmmakers Yuval Abraham and Rachel Shaw.
- 0:59Speaker 1: Their documentary, which alleges aided killing of Gaza civilians, recently
- 1:04Speaker 1: won an award at the Venice Film Festival. According to
- 1:07Speaker 1: the Times of Israel, Minister Zohar accused the filmmakers of
- 1:10Speaker 1: treason and of being willful in their pursuit of applause
- 1:13Speaker 1: from those he described as anti-Semites. On the regional front,
- 1:17Speaker 1: Israeli officials observe signs of deepening fractures within Iran's leadership.
- 1:22Speaker 1: Sources indicate that Supreme Leader Mujtaba Khamenei is increasingly leaning
- 1:26Speaker 1: on hardline commanders, including the Basij and Revolutionary Guard, amidst

- 1:36Speaker 1: in the UAE has separately issued a caution to Americans,
- 1:39Speaker 1: urging them to exercise heightened vigilance and exercise caution near
- 1:43Speaker 1: Jewish and Israeli sites in the region. This information comes
- 1:47Speaker 1: from UNIT. And finally, on the digital front, the Reddit
- 1:50Speaker 1: community focused on Israel is updating its civility rules. The
- 1:55Speaker 1: moderators of the r slash Israel subreddit are addressing a
- 1:58Speaker 1: recent increase in specific name-calling. As reported, they are re-emphasising
- 2:02Speaker 1: the community's rule to be civil and are clarifying the
- 2:05Speaker 1: offensive nature of certain terms. The moderators have provided historical
- 2:10Speaker 1: context for words like carpo, yudinrat and race traitor to
- 2:14Speaker 1: explain why their use is unacceptable and harmful. I'm Noah Levi,
