About this listen
- IRGC member stops reporting since Jan 8
- Credit Suisse Nazi ratlines exposed
- Rothschild foundation funds Caesarea aqueduct restoration
The time is now 2:01 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, three weeks after the unprecedented massacre of protesters carried out largely by the IRGC and its Basij militia, there are growing signs of discontent among some IRGC members over the continued use of live fire against civilians. An IRGC member speaking through an intermediary says he has not reported to work since January 8 and has refused to return, citing severe depression and ongoing medical treatment. He notes that shoot-to-kill orders had been issued against protesters and harsh crackdowns were expected on January 8 and 9 and in the days that followed, but he was shocked by the level of violence, with some of his own family among the wounded or disappeared. Unconfirmed reports indicate the IRGC’s Intelligence Protection Organization, the body responsible for internal security oversight, sent confidential directives to commanders warning that any refusal to carry out orders would be met with consequences.
In Antisemitism and Anti-Jewish Hate, a UBS audit found Credit Suisse had 890 accounts potentially linked to Nazis, including 628 individuals and 262 legal entities. The investigation also found that Credit Suisse provided support to the ratlines that enabled Nazis to escape Europe and enter Argentina, opening and maintaining accounts for the Argentine Immigration Office. Barofsky testified that Credit Suisse provided funds to finance bribes, obtain fraudulent travel documents, and pay for living expenses and transportation for fugitives, including perpetrators of Nazi crimes.
In Uplifting News, the Caesarea Roman-era aqueduct will undergo a multi-million shekel preservation and restoration project. The agreement commits 15 million shekels to the effort from the Edmond de Rothschild Foundation, the Israel Antiquities Authority, and the Carmel Beach Regional Council, with an additional 24 million shekels from the Carmel Beach Regional Council to upgrade the aqueduct’s environs and the surrounding beach. The project, designed to protect a landmark built by King Herod about 2,000 years ago, is expected to take about 40 months. Separately, ANU’s Museum of the Jewish People in Ramat Aviv is hosting Framing females, then and now: ANU exhibition, highlighting 40 exclusively Jewish female photographers from past and present. In Jerusalem, Dr. Kobi Cherness, the Health Ministry’s district psychiatrist, has created 74 photographs of birds and other scenes for psychiatric and elderly patients. The exhibit at Herzog Medical Center’s Migdalor Clinic opened January 25 and will be shared across two floors, with plans to distribute the collection to other buildings; Cherness treats security forces personnel, noting that tens of thousands of IDF soldiers have been wounded since October 7.
