HEADLINES
Iran Won’t Abandon Nuclear Drive, Hegseth Warns
US Seeks Stronger Regional Defenses Against China
Italy Bans Kanye West Over Security Concerns
The time is now 9:01 AM in New York, I'm Noa Levi and this is the latest Israel Today: Ongoing War Report.
In Direct Israel-Iran Clashes, Hegseh says Iran may not want to give up its nuclear ambitions now, but we believe that over time, at the negotiating table, it will indeed give up.
In US Military Role, Pentagon chief warns China buildup demands stronger regional defenses, with Hegseth urging Asian allies to boost defense spending to counter China's military rise; the United States seeks stronger, more self-reliant alliances and warns against freeloading, and says it stands ready to restart strikes on Iran if no deal is reached.
In Antisemitism and Anti-Jewish Hate, Italy bans Kanye West, Travis Scott concerts over security concerns. West has faced a wave of cancellations across Europe this summer following years of antisemitic remarks, including praise for Adolf Hitler, and Britain denied him entry in April. Scott has faced scrutiny over safety at his concerts since the 2021 Astroworld crowd crush.
In Uplifting News, Oren Nahari, a veteran journalist and former editor of foreign news at Channel 1, now faces ALS but remains active, continuing to write, lecture, lead historical tours, and spend time with his wife Vered. Shavuot at the Western Wall is described as a moment where prayer groups bring together Jews from many backgrounds, with the author balancing late-night Torah study and dawn prayers. Mike Huckabee, the US Ambassador to Israel, was honored at Yeshiva University with the Presidential Medallion for leadership and was lauded for his work to help free Israeli hostages after October 7. After a long delay at London Heathrow, a traveler is on a plane bound for Zürich for a Sunday at ICF Church. Thirty-six bereaved IDF parents traveled to Milan with Or L’Mishpachot, finding moments of friendship and remembrance as they carry their children’s memory forward.
