  Speaker 1: A senior Lebanese official has suggested that Hezbollah would only
• 0:15
  Speaker 1: join a potential conflict between the United States and Iran
• 0:19
  Speaker 1: if Iran's regime survival is at stake, according to a
• 0:22
  Speaker 1: report from The National. The official indicated this red line
• 0:26
  Speaker 1: was previously crossed when Iran's late Supreme Leader Ayatollah Ali
• 0:30
  Speaker 1: Khamenei was killed in a joint US-Israeli strike, and that
• 0:33
  Speaker 1: Hezbollah had informed the Americans about this stance. Meanwhile, Hezbollah
• 0:38
  Speaker 1: operatives have reportedly been rearming since a lull in hostilities
• 0:41
  Speaker 1: began in June. Two Lebanese security sources speaking to Reuters
• 0:45
  Speaker 1: detailed how the group has received tens of millions of
• 0:48
  Speaker 1: dollars from Iran, adding to previous significant funding, to boost
• 0:52
  Speaker 1: its capabilities. There's a focus on procuring explosives and producing drones.
• 0:57
  Speaker 1: Reports also indicate the group is working to restore command-and-control structures.
• 1:02
  Speaker 1: In response, a US State Department spokesman stated Washington will
• 1:07
  Speaker 1: continue strangling Hezbollah's finances through sanctions, while a Treasury spokesperson
• 1:12
  Speaker 1: noted Iran is running out of money. In the West Bank,
• 1:15
  Speaker 1: Mariv News Flash reports that security forces apprehended 14 foreign
• 1:19
  Speaker 1: citizens near Lubin-e-Sharkia. They are suspected of violating a legal
• 1:24
  Speaker 1: order and remaining in a closed military area. Their case

  Speaker 1: has been transferred to the Population and Immigration Authority for
• 1:31
  Speaker 1: deportation proceedings, as part of efforts to prevent provocative activities
• 1:36

  Speaker 1: that following last week's election, Israel faces a political stalemate,
• 1:46
  Speaker 1: with neither Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu's bloc nor the opposition,
• 1:50
  Speaker 1: led by Gadi Eisenkot, securing enough seats to form a
• 1:53
  Speaker 1: coalition independently. A notable outcome was the strong performance of
• 1:57
  Speaker 1: Arab parties, with the Joint List and Ram together winning
• 2:01
  Speaker 1: a historic 19 seats. Analysts point to limited options to
• 2:05
  Speaker 1: break the deadlock, including a minority opposition government or a
• 2:09
  Speaker 1: unity government. The latter would require difficult compromises and pressure
• 2:13
  Speaker 1: on party leaders to join forces, potentially with support from
• 2:17
  Speaker 1: Avigdor Liberman's Yisrael Betenu, to form a stable coalition and
• 2:21
