About this listen
Trump Netanyahu escalate Israel policy standoff
Pakistan joins Trump Gaza governance board
Beersheba court rejects Segev early release
The time is now 9:01 AM in New York, I'm Noa Levi and this is the latest Israel Today: Ongoing War Report.
In US Policy Concerning Israel, Trump insists on going jaw-to-jaw with Iran and Hamas as he presses a security-focused approach in Washington, while Prime Minister Netanyahu channels Churchill in public remarks and argues that talks with the terror groups and Tehran are futile and that more military pressure may be needed to reach goals. Trump has shown a willingness to order targeted military action in Yemen, Iran, Syria, Venezuela, Somalia and Nigeria, a posture that accompanies his preference for direct engagement rather than diplomacy alone in pursuing Israel-related aims. In Washington, Netanyahu has invoked Churchill in his speeches, reflecting a wartime frame, while the White House signals a different balance in pursuing regional objectives. Separately, Pakistan’s Prime Minister Shehbaz Sharif will attend the first meeting of Trump’s Board of Peace in Washington, scheduled for February 19, with Foreign Minister Ishaq Dar accompanying; the board, created under Trump’s Gaza plan to supervise Gaza’s temporary governance, would be expanded to tackle global conflicts, Trump has said, and more than 20 countries have agreed to join so far. Islamabad says it is joining in good faith as part of supporting the Gaza plan within the UN Security Council framework.
In Israeli Domestic Politics, the Beersheba District Court permitted publication that former minister Gonen Segev’s bid for early release was rejected by the parole board, which accepted the prosecution’s arguments and cited security assessments in weighing against shortening his sentence. Segev is serving an 11-year term handed down in February 2019 after he admitted to aggravated espionage and passing information to the enemy in a case involving Iranian intelligence. He was arrested in 2018 in an operation led by Shin Bet and Israel Police on suspicion of spying for Iran and maintaining ties with Iranian operatives, including meetings abroad and in Iran, and transferring information that included matters related to Israel’s energy sector and other state affairs.
In Israeli Economy and Business, Hamilton Lane’s Hartley Rogers says Israel remains a very strong player in global private markets. Rogers, Executive Co-Chairman of the firm, noted during a visit to Israel that private markets have expanded enormously over the years and that Hamilton Lane, a major allocator to private markets, has grown alongside the sector. The firm recently surpassed $1 trillion in assets under management and supervision, operates 23 offices worldwide, and employs hundreds of investment professionals, serving thousands of global investors, including leading pension funds. Rogers emphasized Israel’s growing appeal to institutional investors as private market investing remains a key growth area worldwide.
