Episode Details

On Israel Today: Ongoing War Report, we cover the U.S. military confirming it fired on a vessel attempting to evade a blockade on Iranian ports in the Gulf of Oman. Israel's UN Ambassador Danny Danon stated at the Security Council that Jewish communities in the West Bank are permanent and not obstacles to peace. We also look at an alleged Iranian assassination plot against former President Trump, a security incident in Gaza, the official renaming of Tel Aviv's 'Hostages Square,' a fatal work accident in Rahat, and how a ZAKA humanitarian mission in Venezuela helped pave the way for renewed diplomatic ties.
