About this listen
Military experts warn next Iran war brutal
Democrats split over Israel policy
Freed hostages recite Shema in Times Square
The time is now 12:01 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, military experts warn the next war with Iran would be brutal. The report notes American forces are staging at Ben-Gurion Airport, and there is mention of a pause or pullback involving senior security officials in Israel. In Europe, an El Al flight to Newark turned around and returned to Israel, adding to a day of tense developments.
In US Policy Concerning Israel, the Democrats need a nominee with a backbone on Israel issues. The editorial argues the Democratic Party faces a decision point: separate itself from activists who demand maximalist rhetoric on Israel, or keep courting them. An Axios post-election autopsy found Gaza was one of the few issues that cut across turnout, enthusiasm, and trust inside the coalition, and that Vice President Kamala Harris lost significant support because of the Biden administration’s approach to the Israel-Hamas War. The findings were reportedly kept secret because party leaders feared the fallout. Separately, Washington moved to calm Arab anger over Huckabee’s ‘promised land’ remarks, with senior Trump officials telling regional governments the ambassador’s comments were personal and not a policy shift, after he said it would be fine if it took it all when asked about biblical borders from the Nile to the Euphrates.
In Israeli Economy and Business, is paying a premium the smart strategy? Daniel Shabaks asks whether buying at a premium is the right move.
In Uplifting News, Freed Israeli hostages recite Shema prayer on New York City stage in front of thousands. Former Israeli hostages Matan Zangauker, Ilana Gritzewsky, and Segev Kalfon led thousands of Jewish teens in a communal recitation of the Shema at Times Square during the Chabad-Lubavitch CTeen International Summit. The event also honored the memory of those killed at the Bondi Beach terror attack, which occurred at a Chabad Hanukkah celebration in Sydney, including Rabbi Eli Schlanger. Rabbi Mendy Kotlarsky announced that a new CTeen center, “Rabbi Eli's CTeen Lounge,” will be built in Sydney in memory of Rabbi Schlanger. Kotlarsky said that light will have the final word despite a spate of antisemitic incidents.
