- 0:12Speaker 1: Shin Bet and police have revealed a plot for a
- 0:14Speaker 1: large-scale terrorist attack in Jerusalem. According to reports, a 19-year-old
- 0:19Speaker 1: suspect from Beit Hananah had been preparing for two years.
- 0:22Speaker 1: His plan reportedly involved detonating a bomb at the Lion's Gate,
- 0:26Speaker 1: entering the Temple Mount, and opening fire on Israelis. Investigators
- 0:31Speaker 1: state the suspect was motivated by viewing footage of the
- 0:34Speaker 1: October 7 massacre and has been indicted. In a significant
- 0:38Speaker 1: shift in US policy, President Donald Trump announced that the
- 0:41Speaker 1: United States would end military aid to Israel later this year.
- 0:45Speaker 1: This announcement follows the blue wave in America, where Democrats
- 0:49Speaker 1: secured victories in the midterm elections, ushering in what some
- 0:53Speaker 1: are calling a new strategic reality for Israel. In legal
- 0:56Speaker 1: developments concerning terrorism, Alam Tamimi, who was responsible for the
- 1:00Speaker 1: 2001 Esbarro bombing in Jerusalem that killed 15 people, was
- 1:05Speaker 1: served with a US lawsuit via X, formerly Twitter. A
- 1:09Speaker 1: court ruled that legal papers could be delivered through social media,
- 1:12Speaker 1: as Tamami resides in Jordan and her exact address is unknown.
- 1:16Speaker 1: Rabbi Dr Mark Goldfeder, quoted by the Jerusalem Post, stated
- 1:20Speaker 1: that Tamami had previously believed she was beyond the reach
- 1:23Speaker 1: of American courts, but this ruling allows the case to proceed.
- 1:27Speaker 1: Tamimi was released in a 2011 prisoner exchange and now
- 1:31Speaker 1: lives in Jordan, but remains wanted by the US for
- 1:34Speaker 1: her role in the attack. Israel faces a new diplomatic
- 1:37Speaker 1: landscape after a series of election outcomes. Serbia, a former
- 1:41Speaker 1: supplier of ammunition, elected a new party that has pledged
- 1:45Speaker 1: to halt arms exports to war zones and explicitly stated
- 1:49Speaker 1: it will not be complicit in what it called Israel's
- 1:52Speaker 1: systematic attempt to destroy the Palestinian people in Gaza. In Brazil,
- 1:56Speaker 1: the election of a left-wing, anti-Israel president has dashed hopes
- 2:00Speaker 1: for closer ties. Domestically, Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu stated in
- 2:05Speaker 1: his first public appearance since election night that only a
- 2:08Speaker 1: unity government under his leadership can confront radical Islam, while
- 2:12Speaker 1: renewing allegations of foreign interference in elections. Meanwhile, proposals for
- 2:17Speaker 1: a governing agreement envision a new coalition focused on reforms,
- 2:21Speaker 1: including establishing an independent commission of inquiry into October 7.
- 2:26Speaker 1: and restoring democratic institutions. Globally, over 60,000 Christians and Jews
- 2:31Speaker 1: marched in Lima, Peru, in a March of Life event
- 2:34Speaker 1: to express support for Israel and condemn antisemitism. This demonstration
- 2:39Speaker 1: highlights what Israeli ambassador to Peru Gali Dagon described as
- 2:43Speaker 1: an alarming escalation in Jew hatred since October 7th. The
- 2:47Speaker 1: event also marked Peru's recent adoption of the IHRA definition
- 2:51Speaker 1: of antisemitism. In positive news, Majin David Adom paramedics have
- 2:56Speaker 1: conducted their first seven minutes training for the Secure Community Network,
- 3:01Speaker 1: a North American Jewish community security organization. This partnership aims
- 3:05Speaker 1: to bring Israeli emergency response expertise to Jewish communities across
- 3:10Speaker 1: the continent, empowering them with critical life-saving skills before professional
- 3:14Speaker 1: help arrives. For continuing coverage of antisemitism around the world,
