  Speaker 1: In the United Kingdom, Prime Minister Andy Burnham has ruled
• 0:15
  Speaker 1: out any future partnership with the Green Party. This decision
• 0:19
  Speaker 1: follows the party's recent conference where it passed a motion declaring,
• 0:22
  Speaker 1: Zionism is racism. Prime Minister Burnham unequivocally condemned the motion,
• 0:27
  Speaker 1: calling it wrong and anti-Semitic, and stated his party will
• 0:31
  Speaker 1: have nothing to do with such a position. In Jerusalem,
• 0:34
  Speaker 1: the Grand Mufti has issued a religious ruling, a fatwa,
• 0:38
  Speaker 1: against the purchase of olive products from West Bank settlers.
• 0:42
  Speaker 1: This move comes in response to escalating settler violence targeting
• 0:46
  Speaker 1: Palestinian olive trees and farmers. The ruling states it is
• 0:49
  Speaker 1: forbidden to buy goods stolen from Palestinian trees, deeming it
• 0:53
  Speaker 1: an encouragement of theft and an empowerment of the occupier. Meanwhile,
• 0:57
  Speaker 1: in northern Gaza, Israeli troops have completed operations over the
• 1:01
  Speaker 1: past four months, neutralising approximately eight kilometres of underground terror
• 1:05
  Speaker 1: tunnels and dismantling numerous terrorist infrastructure sites. Over 100 terrorists
• 1:11
  Speaker 1: were reportedly eliminated during these operations. On the international stage,
• 1:16
  Speaker 1: conflicting reports emerge regarding discussions between Prime Minister Netanyahu and
• 1:21
  Speaker 1: former US President Donald Trump. Some reports suggest Netanyahu urged
• 1:25
  Speaker 1: Trump to take military action against Iran, before upcoming Israeli
• 1:29
  Speaker 1: and US elections, citing Iranian nuclear developments, while the Prime
• 1:34
  Speaker 1: Minister's office denies this. Meanwhile, analysis indicates the chances of
• 1:38
  Speaker 1: renewed conflict between the United States and Iran could increase
• 1:42
  Speaker 1: following America's mid-term elections, with Iran reportedly preparing for near-future
• 1:47
  Speaker 1: conflict and targeting economically damaging sites. Domestically, a million-dollar lawsuit
• 1:52
  Speaker 1: filed by Ronan Barr against Prime Minister Netanyahu is reportedly
• 1:56
  Speaker 1: making headlines. In separate developments, senior Israeli security officials are
• 2:01
  Speaker 1: said to be casting doubt on Prime Minister Netanyahu's assertion
• 2:05
  Speaker 1: that Egypt's intelligence chief visited Israel prior to October 7,
• 2:10
  Speaker 1: with officials claiming they would have been aware of such
• 2:12
  Speaker 1: a visit. Additionally, a petition has been filed with the
• 2:15
  Speaker 1: High Court of Justice concerning low-income reservists who are reportedly
• 2:19
  Speaker 1: losing municipal property tax discounts because their reserve payments push
• 2:23
  Speaker 1: them above income limits. In the north, Hezbollah reportedly fired
• 2:27
  Speaker 1: an anti-aircraft missile at an IDF drone operating over southern Lebanon,
• 2:33
  Speaker 1: indicating continued cross-border activity. In economic news, two people were
• 2:37
  Speaker 1: seriously injured in an explosion at an intel factory in
• 2:40
  Speaker 1: Kiryat Gat, with suspicion of a hazardous material leak. On
• 2:45
  Speaker 1: a positive note, the Apache helicopter deal has reportedly returned
• 2:48
  Speaker 1: to its track, and in more uplifting news, the Museum
• 2:52
  Speaker 1: of Moroccan Jewish Culture has opened its doors in Fes, Morocco.
• 2:56
  Speaker 1: This marks a historic first, as it is the first
• 2:59

• 3:06
  Speaker 1: rich heritage of Moroccan Jewry. For continuing coverage of antisemitism
