Global Advisories Urge Citizens to Flee Iran
US to Host Gaza Reconstruction Fundraiser
Former Moscow Rabbi Rejects Conversion Plan
The time is now 1:02 AM in New York, I'm Noa Levi and this is the latest Israel Today: Ongoing War Report.
In the conflict with Iran and its Regional Proxies, multiple governments have told their citizens to leave Iran within the next 24 hours, including China, Russia, Turkey, Azerbaijan, Germany, Pakistan and South Korea, joining warnings the United States has issued earlier this week. The United States is also urging its citizens to exit Iran by land to Armenia or Turkey, noting that such advisories can indicate an imminent attack but do not prove it. Observers point to the evacuation of American service members and their families from bases in the region as another signal to watch, even as timing remains uncertain. President Trump said Iran wants a deal and that there is time to reach one, stressing that talks could continue early next week and that Iran will not obtain nuclear weapons.
In the US Policy Concerning Israel, the White House plans to host the Gaza Board of Peace for Gaza on February 19, in conjunction with Netanyahu’s visit to the United States, described as an initial fundraising-style meeting to advance Trump’s Gaza plan. The gathering is expected to focus on raising money for the reconstruction of the Gaza Strip and on implementing the second phase of the Gaza peace deal, according to reporting citing a US official and diplomats on the board.
In Israeli Domestic Politics, a former Moscow rabbi says he rejected a proposal to convert Russians that surfaced in the Epstein recordings. The plan described would bring Russians who have converted to Judaism to Israel as a demographic measure to preserve Israel’s Jewish majority. Netanyahu responded by accusing former prime minister Ehud Barak of seeking to “select” Jews for immigration and warned that the political left was attempting to “replace the people” after electoral defeats. The Epstein recordings, released in connection with a Justice Department disclosure, date to around 2013 and capture Barak discussing loosening the Orthodox rabbinate’s control over conversion and opening the door to large‑scale conversion as a policy option.
In Uplifting News, All Moms Lie is highlighted as a sports dramedy from KAN that airs on Sunday and Thursday nights on KAN 11 and is available at kan.org.il. The series follows Eli, a depressed single mother in Jaffa, whose son writes that he would like to be disabled; when he challenges her to join a women’s catchball team, she is drawn into a story about risk, resilience and community. The Book of Ruth, directed by Esty Shushan, portrays Ruth, a young haredi wife and mother, as she navigates tragedy and personal meaning; Shushan’s work, rooted in activism for women’s voices in the haredi world, opened in Israeli theaters and speaks to a wide audience, secular and religious alike. Finally, From Kassel to the home front shares the memory of a Holocaust survivor through the lens of a deputy commander in Battalion 7475, linking his sense of duty to his grandfather’s experiences and underscoring a belief that “never again” requires action today.
