- 0:48Speaker 1: Arab party leaders were not invited to this meeting. Turning
- 0:51Speaker 1: to international relations, Iranian Foreign Minister Arbas Arachi made headlines

- 1:03Speaker 1: while simultaneously labelling US President Donald Trump a bully, and
- 1:08Speaker 1: asserting Iran is a victim of terrorism. In a moment
- 1:11Speaker 1: captured by Fox News Digital, Arakchi was seen smiling and
- 1:15Speaker 1: dismissing a reporter's question concerning his government's alleged execution, torture
- 1:20Speaker 1: and imprisonment of over 900 Iranians this year. In Gaza,
- 1:24Speaker 1: the Israel Defence Forces announced the successful elimination of Saha Zakhar,

- 1:33Speaker 1: territory during the October 7 attacks. The operation took place
- 1:37Speaker 1: in the Nusirat refugee camp in the central Gaza Strip. Lastly,
- 1:42Speaker 1: a report highlights an animated video currently circulating in French.
- 1:46Speaker 1: The video uses puppets to illustrate allegations of sexual violence
- 1:50Speaker 1: that occurred on October 7 and criticises French journalists for
