About this listen

All tech news will be covered in tomorrow's coverage in a dedicated episode. Today we've got a broad snapshot of contemporary issues and events related to Israel, covering topics from global politics and finance to cultural and historical matters. Key economic and diplomatic developments include Bank Hapoalim's significant financing for the Kesem power station and Israel's pending gas export deal with Egypt, while geopolitical reports detail the use of the Israeli Arrow-3 defense system in Germany and the sale of the Spyder system to Georgia, alongside a report of a secret visit by Taiwan's Deputy Foreign Minister for defense talks. The sources also highlight international tensions, such as a diplomatic storm leading to mutual deportations between Ghana and Israel, and cultural discussions, like the condemnation of Taylor Swift over an Israel mention and the appointment of an Israel-defender to a CBS anchor job by Bari Weiss. Finally, the collection touches on internal resilience, noting US finance directors touring Israel to hear about the economy, the launch of a "Get to Know Israel" video series by Nas Daily, the expectation of 10,000 Birthright visitors, the discovery of a Maccabean battlefield near Jerusalem, and a report concluding that Hamas committed crimes against humanity on October 7.
