  Speaker 1: You're listening to Israel Today ongoing war report. I'm Noah Levi.

  Speaker 1: Reports indicate that extensive planning is underway between Israel and
• 0:16
  Speaker 1: the United States for a potential third war with Iran,
• 0:19
  Speaker 1: focusing on achieving air supremacy and neutralising Iran's nuclear capabilities.
• 0:24
  Speaker 1: Foreign sources suggest that Israeli aircraft have rehearsed strikes deep
• 0:28
  Speaker 1: into Iranian territory, employing advanced tactics to overcome Iranian radar.
• 0:33
  Speaker 1: The strategy reportedly involves a division of sectors between Israeli
• 0:37
  Speaker 1: and US forces, with US President Donald Trump focused on
• 0:41
  Speaker 1: the deep underground pickaxe mountain nuclear facility. A significant concern
• 0:45
  Speaker 1: remains whether even powerful US bunker-buster bombs can ensure its destruction.
• 0:50
  Speaker 1: This comes as diplomatic efforts, mediated by Qatar, continue between
• 0:54
  Speaker 1: the US and Iran, though significant gaps persist, particularly concerning
• 0:59
  Speaker 1: Iran's nuclear programme, with both sides seeking concessions. President Trump
• 1:03
  Speaker 1: has expressed scepticism about Iran's reliability in negotiations. Meanwhile, in
• 1:09
  Speaker 1: the region, Syria is reportedly seeking to join the Turkey-backed
• 1:12
  Speaker 1: Mecca Pact alliance, an alliance seen by some as potentially
• 1:16
  Speaker 1: filling a power vacuum if Iran's regime falls. Israeli security sources, however,
• 1:21
  Speaker 1: express concern over a new Syrian army being formed with
• 1:24
  Speaker 1: Turkish support, composed of jihadist elements, which they view as
• 1:28
  Speaker 1: a potential threat. Iran's official response to the Mecca Pact
• 1:32
  Speaker 1: has been positive, with experts suggesting it may see the
• 1:35
  Speaker 1: alliance as a move away from US influence. In other news,
• 1:39
  Speaker 1: a congressional investigation into the American Psychological Association has concluded
• 1:44
  Speaker 1: that the organization allowed systemic anti-Semitism to spread, with leadership
• 1:49
  Speaker 1: allegedly appeasing anti-Israel groups and dismissing concerns from Jewish members.
• 1:54
  Speaker 1: The APA leadership has denied these conclusions. Separately, the Federation
• 1:58
  Speaker 1: of Jewish Communities of Spain is decrying conspiracy theories that
• 2:02
  Speaker 1: that falsely blame Jews for a recent fatal railway crash
• 2:05
  Speaker 1: near Toledo. These baseless theories, amplified by social media and
• 2:10
  Speaker 1: AI-generated content, link the accident to Israeli intelligence and Prime
• 2:14
  Speaker 1: Minister Netanyahu, prompting the Federation to highlight the harm these
• 2:18
  Speaker 1: narratives cause to Spain's Jewish community. Domestically, analysis suggests that
• 2:23
  Speaker 1: both Prime Minister Netanyahu and US President Trump could soon
• 2:27
  Speaker 1: find themselves in positions of executive power without sufficient legislative control.
• 2:32
  Speaker 1: a scenario driven by potential outcomes of US mid-term elections
• 2:36
  Speaker 1: and Israeli political deadlock. This could lead to a more
• 2:39
  Speaker 1: independent Knesset, with opposition parties potentially gaining agenda control. Separately,
• 2:45
  Speaker 1: the Central Elections Committee chairman, Justice Noam Solberg, has stated
• 2:50
  Speaker 1: that while allegations of foreign interference in the recent Knesset
• 2:53
  Speaker 1: election are serious and under investigation by the Shin Bet,
• 2:57
  Speaker 1: they do not affect the integrity or outcome of the vote.
• 3:00
  Speaker 1: and in a significant development for government formation. Former Prime
• 3:04
  Speaker 1: Minister Naftali Bennett's party will recommend Gadi Eizenkot as the
• 3:08
  Speaker 1: candidate to form the government to the president. On the
• 3:11
  Speaker 1: economic front, Israeli medical technology company ADOC has received significant recognition.
• 3:18
  Speaker 1: Its CARE-AI model has been named one of Time magazine's
• 3:21
  Speaker 1: best inventions of 2026 in the medicine and health category.
• 3:25
  Speaker 1: The model analyses medical imaging and clinical text, to help
• 3:28
  Speaker 1: doctors identify serious medical conditions earlier, enhancing diagnostic safety, and
• 3:34
  Speaker 1: is already used in numerous healthcare systems globally, including in Israel.
