About this listen
Nuclear Talks Restart as Warships Loom Offshore
Australia Opens Antisemitism Inquiry After Bondi Attack
Israel Faces Driver Shortage Amid License Delays
The time is now 11:01 PM 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, the US and Iran are set to resume nuclear talks in Geneva in what could be the last best chance for a deal, with US warships looming offshore and Iran warning it's ready to defend itself.
Australia’s highest-level public inquiry has opened hearings into antisemitism following the fatal Hanukkah shooting at Bondi Beach that left 15 people dead and dozens injured, with the royal commission chaired by former High Court Justice Virginia Bell examining the scope and drivers of antisemitism nationwide and set to recommend policy responses; it will also review the circumstances surrounding the December attack.
In Israeli Domestic Politics, the Knesset Special Committee on Foreign Workers met on Monday to discuss the allocation of foreign workers as truck drivers amid a dispute between government ministries and economic bodies over whether Israel is facing a shortage in the sector. Representatives from the Labor and Social Affairs Ministry, the Employment Service, the Manufacturers Association, Israel Ports, and the Truckers Council said there is a severe shortage of thousands of drivers, while representatives from the Transportation and Labor Ministries insisted that no shortage exists. Committee chair MK Ety Hava Atia said that a dispute between the Health Ministry and the Transportation Ministry is preventing some 23,000 locals from obtaining heavy vehicle driver’s licenses due to prolonged waits for examinations at the Medical Institute for Road Safety, harming the economy in the process, and noted that new applicants have been struggling since the Transportation Ministry ended its contract with medical management company Femi Premium, with transfer delays continuing because of staffing and budget disagreements.
In uplifting News, Tel Aviv teams keep winning while Jerusalem, Beersheba clubs triumph, as Maccabi Tel Aviv cruised past Ironi Ness Ziona 111-80 with Gur Lavy starring and Lonnie Walker returning from injury to score 18; next up is a EuroLeague date at Monaco on Thursday as the Yellow-and-Blue pursue a Play-In postseason berth, with Lavy totaling 31 points, Walker 18, and DiBartolomeo 14 in the win, while Desi Rodriguez scored 27 for Ness Ziona as Yuri Collins and Bryce Brown each had 14 in the defeat. Hapoel Tel Aviv beat Hapoel Holon 89-83, Hapoel Jerusalem downed Maccabi Ramat Gan 97-87, and Hapoel Beersheba crushed Maccabi Ra’anana.
