Episode Details

Today on Israel Today, we begin with a deadly Houthi missile strike on a commercial ship in the Bab el-Mandeb Strait, killing two Pakistani nationals and one Indonesian. In the West Bank, the IDF has demolished the home of the terrorist responsible for the July attack that killed Maj. Yuval Ezra and Capt. (res.) Benayahu Mellet. On the diplomatic front, reports suggest Jared Kushner is leading US pressure on Israel regarding a Gaza roadmap, a plan Israel objects to. We also cover Israel updating the US on Turkey's military expansion in Syria, an apparent antisemitic attack on Israelis in Montenegro, and developments in Israeli domestic politics ahead of the upcoming elections, including concerns about foreign interference.
