The time is now 6:01 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, US Ambassador to Israel Mike Huckabee told the annual Presidents’ Conference that the United States and Israel are fully aligned on confronting Iran’s nuclear and ballistic-missile programs. He recalled recent meetings in Washington with President Trump and Prime Minister Netanyahu and warned that since 1979 Iran has called for the destruction of the United States and Israel. Huckabee noted that Iranian proxies and Hezbollah operate across the region, including in South America, and that if the world does not take the threat seriously there could be a need for war despite a preference for peace. He said Geneva will host another round of talks tomorrow and that he believes in peace but would act to secure the future if necessary.

In the Disputed Territories (Gaza, Judea and Samaria, East Jerusalem), Six indicted for posing as soldiers in West Bank jewelry store heist prosecutors say suspects from the Bedouin town of Hura donned IDF-style uniforms, carried an M-16 and airsoft rifles and stole four kilograms of gold and cash from a shop in Dhahiriya, firing at pursuers and briefly abducting a Palestinian man before their arrest.

In US Policy Concerning Israel, Netanyahu met today in his office in Jerusalem with US Senator Lindsey Graham.
