- 0:08Speaker 1: You're listening to Israel Today ongoing war report. I'm Noah Levi. Today,
- 0:12Speaker 1: a significant report has emerged detailing a secret visit by
- 0:16Speaker 1: Egyptian intelligence chief Arbas Kamel to Israel just 11 days
- 0:20Speaker 1: before the October 7th attacks, according to an investigation by
- 0:24Speaker 1: the Atlantic Kamel Met with Israeli officials on September 26, 2023.
- 0:30Speaker 1: reportedly warning that Hamas was preparing for a major attack
- 0:34Speaker 1: and urging Israel to take steps to de-escalate tensions in Gaza.
- 0:38Speaker 1: While Kemal did not provide specific details or a timeline,
- 0:41Speaker 1: officials briefed on the visit stated the message was clear.
- 0:45Speaker 1: If you don't change course, Gaza is going to explode
- 0:47Speaker 1: in your face. This visit, documented in flight logs, has
- 0:51Speaker 1: drawn scrutiny for its urgency and the potential implications for
- 0:55Speaker 1: Israeli leadership awareness. In diplomatic developments, Iran has reportedly proposed
- 1:00Speaker 1: a plan aimed at halting hostilities and reopening the Strait
- 1:04Speaker 1: of Hormuz within seven days. This proposal, which also included
- 1:08Speaker 1: demands for the release of frozen funds and the lifting
- 1:11Speaker 1: of US naval blockades and oil sanctions, was conveyed through
- 1:14Speaker 1: mediators during UN General Assembly talks. However, US President Donald
- 1:19Speaker 1: Trump has reportedly rejected this proposal, according to the Wall
- 1:23Speaker 1: Street Journal. Sources indicate that President Trump informed his advisers
- 1:28Speaker 1: that he anticipates attacks against Iran, could resume after the
- 1:32Speaker 1: upcoming November midterm elections. On the northern front, IDF fighter
- 1:36Speaker 1: jets conducted multiple strikes this morning in the Sajjad and
- 1:40Speaker 1: Jabal al-Rafi areas in southern Lebanon. Meanwhile, Saudi Crown Prince
- 1:44Speaker 1: Mohammed bin Salman's security strategy is facing a critical test.
- 1:49Speaker 1: Houthi attacks are exposing the limits of regional alliances, even
- 1:53Speaker 1: as Saudi Arabia seeks assistance. While the US has refused
- 1:57Speaker 1: direct military action against the Houthis, it has provided intelligence
- 2:01Speaker 1: and targeting information. Saudi Arabia continues to rely on international
- 2:06Speaker 1: support for air defence and early warning capabilities, highlighting the
- 2:10Speaker 1: challenges in securing protection from Iran-backed proxies. Separately, a recent
- 2:14Speaker 1: assertion describes the United Nations as an anti-Semitic echo chamber
- 2:19Speaker 1: full of terrorist sympathisers in blue helmets, indicating significant allegations
- 2:24Speaker 1: of bias, and a lack of impartiality. For continuing coverage
