HEADLINES
Finish the job against terrorists, US urged
France-led sanctions pressure Israel over West Bank
Jewish unity tested by rising antisemitism
The time is now 10:00 PM in New York, I'm Noa Levi and this is the latest Israel Today: Ongoing War Report.
In US Military Role, a commentary repeats the message that you can’t negotiate with terrorists and urges the President to finish the job. The piece frames decisive action as essential in countering terrorist threats.
In US Policy Concerning Israel, France and allies eye coordinated sanctions to pressure Israel over West Bank, diplomats say. France is working with several countries to press ahead with coordinated national sanctions targeting individuals linked to violence in the West Bank, including asset freezes and travel bans; the measures are not finalized and different lists may be used by each country. The move comes amid escalating violence by extremist settlers in the West Bank and criticism of Prime Minister Netanyahu’s government for not prosecuting those involved and for settlement expansion aimed at undermining prospects for a Palestinian state. With EU consensus blocked, several countries have turned to national measures as the best option for now, and Britain and Norway are among those considering options, with announcements expected in coming days. The United States is weighing steps that could redirect Iranian assets to Gulf states to cover reconstruction of future damage and possibly losses already incurred; it remains unclear whether the plan would rely on frozen funds alone or include physical assets such as oil tankers. Separately, the US government plans to make Iranian assets available for repairs in Gulf states damaged by Iranian attacks, a move that follows directions from the Treasury to assess costs for damage already inflicted and to consider using Iranian assets for those repairs as well; the broader context includes stalled peace negotiations, with a mediator’s minister having traveled to Tehran with a letter for Iran’s Supreme Leader.
In Antisemitism and Anti-Jewish Hate, Jew vs Jew: New York, Israel, and the crisis of Jewish solidarity - opinion, the piece argues that rising antisemitism coincides with a widening rift among Jews over Israel, raising urgent questions about Jewish unity. The author shares personal reflections on New York and other experiences, illustrating how home, memory, and identity intersect with the current debate over Israel and the sense of solidarity within the Jewish community.
