HEADLINES
Rovio: UN failed Iran action, program thwarted
Hamas Cairo talks seek demilitarization, arms terms
Police warned Netanyahu office hours before Oct 7
The time is now 4:01 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, Rovio says the United Nations did not act against the Iranian regime and that our intervention thwarted the nuclear program. He argues that pressure can be applied in different ways to the ayatollah regime.
In the Disputed Territories (Gaza, Judea and Samaria, East Jerusalem), Hamas plans to discuss demilitarization and NCAG appointments with Egyptian mediators in Cairo, presenting proposals that include pausing the use of all weapons until Israel withdraws its forces from Gaza and potentially surrendering heavy weapons and tunnel maps in exchange for permission to keep light arms. The discussions come as part of broader negotiations tied to implementing the peace framework discussed in New York media reports. Palestinians fear the loss of Gaza’s history as two years of war endure, with sites like the Great Omari Mosque in Gaza heavily damaged and heritage sites endangered alongside a death toll that the territory’s health ministry tallies in the tens of thousands, complicating recovery efforts. Late-night clashes were reported in Gaza’s Zaitoun district, with reports of Israeli drone activity assisting militia forces against Hamas and confirming casualties. Separately, a 30-year-old man was moderately injured in the Negev, with medical responders treating him at the scene and transporting him to a hospital.
In US Policy Concerning Israel, two rounds of talks are anticipated in Geneva on Tuesday, focusing on US‑Iran relations and on the Russia‑Ukraine war, with the American negotiating team represented by Jared Kushner and Jason Waitekoff (as described in the reporting).
In Israeli Domestic Politics, new testimony alleges police warned Prime Minister Netanyahu’s office at 8:00 a.m. to act immediately to prevent a mass tragedy in Nove, prompting questions about what the military secretary did with that warning. A separate release presents newly revealed footage detailing dramatic moments inside the police operations unit on the morning of the October 7 massacre, underscoring the high-stakes response during the crisis.
In Uplifting News, in Vienna, Dr. Tal Ben‑Shahar urges teaching happiness as a core part of Jewish education in a post‑October 7 world, emphasizing pride, resilience, and growth. He notes rising post-traumatic stress indicators and antisemitism, and points to happiness studies programs he has led at Columbia University and Centenary University as part of a broader approach to Jewish education and well‑being.
