- 0:12Speaker 1: Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu visited the Syrian border, stating, We
- 0:16Speaker 1: will not allow any terror army to establish itself on
- 0:19Speaker 1: our border. We are committed to defeating the terror regime
- 0:22Speaker 1: in Iran, and we will do it. His remarks come
- 0:25Speaker 1: amid assessments that Iran is reportedly preparing for a broad,
- 0:29Speaker 1: coordinated attack against Israel on multiple fronts. On the diplomatic front,
- 0:34Speaker 1: Western powers have submitted a proposed resolution to the UN
- 0:37Speaker 1: Security Council to report Iran for breaching its obligations under
- 0:41Speaker 1: the Nuclear Non-Proliferation Treaty, a move that would be the
- 0:44Speaker 1: first such referral in 20 years. Meanwhile, Iranian lawmaker Kamran
- 0:48Speaker 1: Ghazanfari recently warned that the Middle East is practically on
- 0:52Speaker 1: the brink of World War III, citing global tensions. In
- 0:56Speaker 1: southern Lebanon, the IDF conducted a planned explosion in the
- 1:00Speaker 1: village of Manshoury. Israeli Foreign Minister Gideon Saar stated on
- 1:04Speaker 1: Wednesday that the government does not plan to deport Palestinians
- 1:07Speaker 1: from Gaza. He told reporters, We are not planning to
- 1:10Speaker 1: expel or to deport anyone from the Gaza Strip. This
- 1:14Speaker 1: contrasts with recent proposals from Defence Minister Israel Katz and
- 1:18Speaker 1: far-right Security Minister Itamar Ben-Givia, who floated plans for voluntary emigration. Separately,
- 1:24Speaker 1: a new poll indicates a significant shift in Palestinian public opinion.
- 1:29Speaker 1: Over half, 55.8%, now view peaceful negotiations as the best
- 1:34Speaker 1: way to achieve their national goals, a substantial increase from
- 1:37Speaker 1: 28% in 2023. Only 13.3% favour armed resistance, down significantly
- 1:44Speaker 1: from 37.1% last year. Support for a two-state solution has
- 1:49Speaker 1: also grown. In judicial news, the Central District Court sentenced
- 1:53Speaker 1: a minor to 13 years in prison for the 2018
- 1:56Speaker 1: Jewish nationalist terror attack that killed Palestinian mother Aisha Rabi.
- 2:01Speaker 1: ordering maximum compensation to her family. In response to coordinated
- 2:05Speaker 1: international sanctions and trade bans, including the UK's decision to
- 2:09Speaker 1: ban trade with Israeli settlements, Israel's Foreign Minister Gideon Saar
- 2:14Speaker 1: has implemented retaliatory measures. These include closing the United Kingdom's
- 2:18Speaker 1: consulate in East Jerusalem, expelling British representatives, terminating UK forces
- 2:24Speaker 1: training of Palestinian Authority security forces, and banning entry for
- 2:28Speaker 1: several British MPs and other nationals. Additionally, Diaspora Affairs Minister
- 2:33Speaker 1: Amikai Chikli has instructed ministry officials to prepare proposals to
- 2:37Speaker 1: prevent representatives and activists of British organisations promoting boycotts against Israel,
- 2:42Speaker 1: such as Islamic Relief Worldwide, Oxfam and Save the Children,
- 2:47Speaker 1: from entering the country. Chikli stated these organisations have conducted
- 2:51Speaker 1: extensive anti-Israel activity, including promoting BDS. Israel's population has reached
- 2:57Speaker 1: an estimated 10.305 million residents, growing by approximately 124,000 people
- 3:04Speaker 1: over the past year, according to the Central Bureau of Statistics.
- 3:08Speaker 1: In military advancements, Elbitfuse unveiled capabilities for mass drone and
- 3:13Speaker 1: robot armies, allowing a few soldiers to direct hundreds of
- 3:16Speaker 1: autonomous systems. Concurrently, the IDF announced the opening of a
- 3:20Speaker 1: new branch dedicated to robots, drones, and AI battle forces
- 3:24Speaker 1: by December. Interest in Aliyah, or immigration to Israel, is
- 3:29Speaker 1: reportedly rising sharply from Western countries like Britain and France.
- 3:33Speaker 1: The UNIT Global Aliyah Summit also addressed key concerns for
- 3:36Speaker 1: new immigrants, focusing on comprehensive support for healthcare, jobs, banking
- 3:41Speaker 1: and housing, with a move towards more personalised absorption plans.
- 3:45Speaker 1: Prime Minister Netanyahu also approved Yehuda Eliyahu's appointment as interim
- 3:50Speaker 1: CEO of Agyemay, an organisation active in national projects in
