Episode Details

This episode of Israel Today: Ongoing War Report covers significant developments in US policy toward Iran, with the military extending Middle East deployments and the Trump administration weighing declaring the conflict over while maintaining economic pressure. We also look at resilience efforts in Gaza, where farmers are rebuilding a vital seed bank destroyed by the war. Domestically, we discuss a religious leader's appeal regarding the discipline of soldiers, concerns over political threats from an activist, and a budget dispute impacting soldier DNA collection. Finally, a murder investigation in Jaffa yields an arrest and the seizure of a firearm.
