[00:00:00] in Dakar on France 24 and all our social
[00:00:03] to block in Paris. At the call of networks
[00:00:09] la République and Place de and welcome if you're joining us on France demonstrators will march between Place de 24, it's 1:30 PM in Paris.
[00:00:11] Let's go straight to the Paris live news and here are the main headlines
[00:00:15] of the day. We're obviously going to come back to this new
[00:00:18] series of bomb alerts on at least 12 airliners since this
[00:00:22] morning. The announcements of false alerts have
[00:00:25] multiplied. Planes diverted, notably to the
[00:00:28] Evreux air base. But what exactly is happening in the
[00:00:32] European sky since Tuesday? We're going to try to shed some light on it in a few moments
[00:00:43] feared here in France. A call for the
[00:00:46] charges. According to the Ministry of convergence of struggles has been launched by the inter-union. Employees, civil servants, yellow vests,
[00:00:49] retirees are called to join the
[00:00:52] students, the vandals are not part of 250 demonstrations in more than 70
[00:00:55] cities. And young people are obviously at the heart of this
[00:00:58] movement. We'll go to... take the pulse at Place de la République
[00:01:02] in this broadcast. And then the
[00:01:05] Americans are still awaiting results in Alaska and Mississippi. It
[00:01:09] doesn't matter for the Democrats, the victory is already undisputed, so clear and
[00:01:13] frank that many Republicans are asking Donald Trump to change his political
[00:01:18] disrupt the strategy. The ambitious Jelly Ven has started to distance himself, deeming
[00:01:20] the war in Iran responsible. We're going to look at the high expectations
[00:01:24] generated by such a result, particularly in
[00:01:32] start. The procession will leave from Place de
[00:01:41] Two days after a wave of false bomb alerts
[00:01:45] on commercial flights, the situation seems to be
[00:01:48] repeating itself in the European sky. A first airliner this morning, an A320 that
[00:01:52] was traveling from Dublin to Rome, was first
[00:01:56] diverted to the Evreux air base.
[00:02:00] defeat is particularly difficult The aircraft landed safely. All
[00:02:02] passengers are fine. Very quickly, new aircraft, then three,
[00:02:06] then seven experienced roughly the same fate or in any case the same kind
[00:02:10] of alert. As I speak to you, this early afternoon, a total of
[00:02:14] 12 planes have been
[00:02:16] affected by this affair. I suggest we first take a brief
[00:02:20] look at the situation in images with Marc Pois. We'll come back to it right after with Sylvain
[00:02:24] at the construction site of Rousso. It's a new series of bomb alerts that
[00:02:28] is shaking the European sky. Several planes have been forced to land in
[00:02:31] Bulgaria. A Finer aircraft bound for Rome was
[00:02:35] also subject to an alert, as was this Aer Lingus plane that
[00:02:38] was supposed to connect Dublin to Rome, but which was diverted to Evreux this
[00:02:42] Thursday morning. The vast
[00:02:45] majority of bomb alerts
[00:02:47] it caused a slight short-term rise in gasoline turn out not to be a real security issue.
[00:02:50] No explosive device is ever
[00:02:53] discovered. Since the beginning of the week,
[00:02:56] do it. We can't let Iran acquire these alerts have multiplied all over the continent. Each time, commercial flights
[00:02:58] are targeted. This Tuesday, at least four alerts concerned
[00:03:02] flights of the Irish company Ryanair. Experts
[00:03:06] are considering several leads. One
[00:03:09] of the aspects we are monitoring is the possibility of Russian involvement,
[00:03:12] given that these are airlines based in Europe and that these
[00:03:16] attacks affect the continent. It should also be kept in mind that Iranian
[00:03:19] hybrid warfare is just as active in some parts of Europe. For
[00:03:23] now, each time all planes have been thoroughly inspected
[00:03:27] without any suspicious object being found on board. So, as
[00:03:31] we speak, the situation continues to evolve. We have
[00:03:34] information coming from Madrid, planes that also experienced the
[00:03:38] same kind of alert there this morning. Well, we're going to stop
[00:03:41] communicating the numbers. We understand that a certain number of
[00:03:44] aircraft are being targeted by these alerts. Just now, a European official
[00:03:48] functioned as a subsidiary of told us: it's too early to say if the bomb alerts
[00:03:51] disrupting air traffic are linked
[00:03:55] or not. Sylvain, in any case, this has been going on for two days, this story, yes.
[00:03:59] Indeed, it started. It
[00:04:02] there is this march that will set off from started on Tuesday. There were about ten flights between Tuesday and Wednesday, between the day before yesterday and
[00:04:04] yesterday. Today, it's multiplying and it's almost
[00:04:08] exponential, since we were at 12, it seems that now we are at a good
[00:04:11] fifteen, in any case, planes that have been the subject of these threats. What
[00:04:15] we can say is that, however, all the
[00:04:19] planes concerned by these threats have not been hijacked. We must pay attention to that.
[00:04:22] There are at least three or four flights that have been diverted, no more.
[00:04:26] Diverted, excuse me, hijacked does not at all mean the same thing, so they were
[00:04:30] diverted, especially the one that
[00:04:31] barricades and unauthorized landed in Evreux this morning. The others arrived at
[00:04:36] dispersed by the police. their destination without incident, sometimes also escorted by
[00:04:39] military planes. All precautions are obviously taken. In fact,
[00:04:43] it depends on where the plane is when the
[00:04:46] According to the Ministry of threat is received and is deemed credible. What we know is that for
[00:04:50] now all planes, at least the first 12, all planes have
[00:04:53] landed safely. So the passengers, the crew members have been
[00:04:57] evacuated from these planes and no explosives have been
[00:05:00] detected in the aircraft whose inspection was
[00:05:04] hectares of finished at that time. Obviously, inspections will continue as
[00:05:07] they go on, but for now, what we know since Tuesday is that indeed no explosive device has
[00:05:11] been detected in... any plane. Philippe Tabaro, the French
[00:05:14] Minister of Transport, also communicated to say that for now there was no modification
[00:05:18] of flight schedules nor any crisis
[00:05:22] plan put in place. We were saying that since
[00:05:25] Tuesday, since this morning, we've been asking ourselves questions about what it could be, what could
[00:05:29] be behind this. Well, we still don't know. However,
[00:05:32] what we've seen since this morning is that the concentration of threats, because we
[00:05:36] talked about three flights to Madrid, apparently quite
[00:05:40] recently, but we know there were three flights to...
[00:05:42] four flights to Prague in the Czech Republic, so all this makes
[00:05:46] coordinated threats very likely, obviously,
[00:05:49] organized rather than a succession of isolated jokes
[00:05:53] as it could still be mentioned this morning. There is no
[00:05:56] claim, there is no identified perpetrator. It is still too
[00:06:00] early at this stage to say if there is, for example,
[00:06:04] state malice or paramilitary groups behind
[00:06:07] all this. For now, we don't know any
[00:06:11] more. We just know that it looks more and more like something
[00:06:15] coordinated, even if the European official just said that it was too early to link
[00:06:19] these different alerts. It's true that the question we ask ourselves spontaneously
[00:06:22] is, what is this whole story about? Where does it come from? And why
[00:06:26] is it happening, above all? So, why is it happening? Well, first of all, it's going to
[00:06:31] system, or rather, it's going to disrupt European
[00:06:34] airspace. It's also going to mobilize armed
[00:06:38] forces, because as I told you, many planes are also escorted to their destination.
[00:06:42] Because this type of threat is published, and then
[00:06:45] it's also the desire to create disorder. When, for
[00:06:49] example, there was this story of hacking freezers in
[00:06:52] supermarkets, there were several European countries where
[00:06:56] we also wondered why, but all this contributes to creating a
[00:06:59] generalized disorder. But we have to be careful with these stories of
[00:07:03] false bomb alerts. It's a bit different. We can't yet establish a link
[00:07:07] obviously with what happened before, because there are precedents
[00:07:11] in this newspaper. Notably in India in 2024, there
[00:07:15] were more than 700 alerts in 2024, including 500 for the
[00:07:19] month of October alone. There were even more than 100 in one
[00:07:22] day, and out of all these alerts, no explosive device was
[00:07:25] detected and the origin of the messages 2 years later remains
[00:07:29] undetermined. In France in 2023, I don't know if you remember after the
[00:07:33] Arras attack, we switched to red Vigipirate plan, so obviously maximum
[00:07:36] alert. There were hundreds of threats in France, bomb alerts on
[00:07:40] airports, schools, tourist sites. There were even
[00:07:44] 70 threats of
[00:07:46] explosions in airports in one week. Lille, Nantes, Toulouse, Beauvais,
[00:07:50] Strasbourg, Lyon had to be evacuated, and there
[00:07:53] again, all these threats turned out to be false and we were never able
[00:07:57] to determine if we were dealing with something concerted or if we were dealing with
[00:08:01] a contagion effect, meaning that a first announcement makes a lot
[00:08:04] of noise and then it leads others to do the same
[00:08:08] thing. For now, as I told you, we can't yet obviously say
[00:08:11] if there is an entity, an individual, a
[00:08:15] group of individuals who is behind these threats, but what is certain is that
[00:08:18] the more they repeat and the more they tend to concentrate, that's what makes us a little
[00:08:22] suspicious, the fact that they are concentrating today really on certain
[00:08:25] cities and certain countries, it indeed
[00:08:29] gives a little more weight to this
[00:08:32] hypothesis. Thank you very much, Sylvain,
[00:08:36] for the explanations at this hour, knowing that the situation
[00:08:39] continues to evolve.
[00:08:42] Still more disruptions in the European
[00:08:46] sky. Also major disruptions, even on the ground here in France
[00:08:50] today, this Thursday, November 5. A call for
[00:08:53] launched by the inter-union. A dark day
[00:08:58] feared by the government. A movement against the high cost of living that has returned to
[00:09:02] the streets. You can see here the images from Toulouse
[00:09:04] Ourenne. Employees, civil servants are called to stop
[00:09:08] working for salaries, at the call of the inter-union, but also of
[00:09:12] high school and student organizations. Active French people, retirees too,
[00:09:16] are called to join one of the 250
[00:09:19] gatherings planned throughout the country. The objective is obviously to make
[00:09:23] anger converge to put the government under pressure. A government that
[00:09:27] is communicating. Laurent Nunez just indicated that 27,000 demonstrators are
[00:09:30] gathered in the 180 processions in France,
[00:09:33] excluding Paris. There will be a march later that will start from Place de la
[00:09:37] République at 2 PM. Sophie Binet mentioned roughly the same figures earlier,
[00:09:41] 25,000 people mobilized,
[00:09:44] 70,000 police officers, security forces also
[00:09:47] deployed throughout the
[00:09:50] territory, while we fear
[00:09:53] overflows. Near Toulouse, in Tournefeuille, hooded
[00:09:57] youths caused fires this morning. They broke into
[00:10:00] the establishment equipped with mortars. Teachers describe
[00:10:03] determined individuals and particularly significant violence.
[00:10:07] The principal, who has since decided to close the establishment, even speaks of a
[00:10:11] catastrophe and a real scene of guerrilla
[00:10:13] explanation.
[00:10:16] Scene of chaos at the high school, firing of
[00:10:20] firecrackers by hooded youths and
[00:10:23] inside this establishment near Toulouse, fire
[00:10:27] breaks out, part of the building goes up in
[00:10:30] smoke, students and teachers are in
[00:10:32] shock.
[00:10:35] I was the first to see everything and it's true
[00:10:39] that when you see firecrackers and all that in front of you, it's a bit
[00:10:42] shocking, everything burning, it's not fun, it's
[00:10:46] useless, it's not going to help us make
[00:10:50] our rights heard. Well, young people are demonstrating for their rights, I can well
[00:10:53] understand that, but to attack the
[00:10:56] high school, the high school, I find that disappointing and I would cry so much
[00:11:00] because I find it sad, sad, sad and really
[00:11:03] disappointing. No injuries but considerable
[00:11:06] damage. The reception and student life of the high school
[00:11:10] are ransacked. Dozens of CRS are
[00:11:13] deployed, but according to some
[00:11:17] the establishment. They hope that this attack will not overshadow their
[00:11:21] demands. We know that very few high school students who do not... are
[00:11:25] from the high school were involved in the damage, but I agree
[00:11:28] that all vandals should not be justified, whatever it is, and we don't justify
[00:11:32] it. I think there is still a lot of
[00:11:35] focus on violence, on riots, etc.,
[00:11:39] than on high school demands. The high school will remain
[00:11:43] closed for several days, according to the Occitanie region. The damage
[00:11:46] should cost tens of thousands
[00:11:48] of euros.
[00:11:51] So, the Parisian mobilization is also about to
[00:11:57] la République at 2 p.m., in about twenty minutes.
[00:12:01] We also expect a lot of people in this procession, which will head
[00:12:04] towards the Nation. Marine Tondelier
[00:12:07] for the Greens is currently answering
[00:12:11] questions from the press. We're going to listen to a few excerpts. Ten lines
[00:12:14] in mid-October to tell us that Monique Barbu had been entrusted with a
[00:12:18] mission, so we should be reassured. Indeed, it's very reassuring when Monique Barbu is entrusted with a
[00:12:22] mission. And he writes to us therefore... at the beginning of October
[00:12:25] to say, rest assured, Monique Barbu must submit her conclusions and her recommendations at the very
[00:12:29] beginning of October. We are now at the beginning of November and we still have
[00:12:32] no beginning, no beginning of a government plan to
[00:12:36] improve things on the ecological front. And so when there's no ecology, it's not
[00:12:40] just sad for us ecologists, it's hard for all French people. It's felt
[00:12:44] in the wallet and that's one of the reasons why we're demonstrating today. So, of course,
[00:12:48] we come with our ecological demands, which I think align with the
[00:12:51] demands of everyone here. But we also support all the demands, starting
[00:12:55] with the end of Parcoursup, not in 2028 or I don't know when, when the
[00:12:58] president and the prime minister who are committed to it will no longer be there. We want the end of Parcoursup
[00:13:02] now. And by the way, I see that there are
[00:13:05] all these debates about the routes of demonstrations and so on, and it's a real issue, the
[00:13:09] freedom to demonstrate, the rule of law, it's a real issue. But I notice that now on
[00:13:13] many channels we debate more about the route of the
[00:13:16] demonstration than about Parcoursup. But we are here for Parcoursup, we would like to be able
[00:13:20] to continue talking about it too. So all the demands of high school students have
[00:13:23] our support, as well as those of civil servants, workers,
[00:13:27] unemployed, precarious workers, ecologists, feminists. We are here for all these
[00:13:30] demands. And the government, which preferred to send
[00:13:33] law enforcement rather than social responses to the movement, well, that's going
[00:13:37] to get a little more expensive now, because there are so many people in the streets that it's not just
[00:13:41] by responding to Parcoursup and school buildings that everyone will
[00:13:44] go home. So their inaction, well, it's like for climate
[00:13:47] inaction, inaction in terms of social dialogue also costs more in the
[00:13:51] end. And frankly, when you see that 2.3 million French people are working poor,
[00:13:55] they work and that's not enough to protect them from poverty, when you see that 23% of
[00:13:58] children don't have three meals a day in this country, we're going to have to get a move on
[00:14:02] social responses. What about demonstrations every week? So
[00:14:06] this is the call from Marine Tondelier. We've been
[00:14:09] talking about the convergence of struggles since this morning,
[00:14:12] demands obviously in favor of the climate and support expressed for
[00:14:16] this youth. The question of Parcoursup, as we said earlier, will be
[00:14:20] addressed on Monday during a meeting with Prime Minister Sébastien
[00:14:23] Lecornu. In the meantime,
[00:14:27] Place de la République in Paris. The outcome will be
[00:14:30] this evening. We'll count the numbers, we'll see if the call for
[00:14:34] mobilization was massively followed or not.
[00:14:37] We are indeed concerned about overflows. Marie Chester
[00:14:41] mentioned earlier that a significant police presence has been
[00:14:44] deployed for this day. Explanation and
[00:14:47] commented images, watch:
[00:14:50] From mid-morning, in some streets of the
[00:14:53] capital, improvised
[00:14:56] gatherings formed, immediately
[00:15:01] l'ordre,
[00:15:04] Some high schools are blocked, like here in the 20th
[00:15:07] arrondissement.
[00:15:11] Education, 81 high schools were blocked this morning in
[00:15:15] France. These figures are disputed by the high school
[00:15:18] students' union, which claims 1000. These
[00:15:21] high school students intend to continue the movement.
[00:15:25] The figures given by the state are really very incorrect. For us, it's been 3
[00:15:29] days that the high school has been administratively open but that
[00:15:33] no classes have taken place. As long as we don't get what we want, what we
[00:15:36] desire and... deserve, I will come back
[00:15:41] the inter-union, the
[00:15:46] la Nation. A march in the heart of the capital,
[00:15:50] the first since October 17th. This
[00:15:53] shoemaker is located on the route. His
[00:15:55] storefront still bears the traces of past demonstrations.
[00:15:59] You see the cracks there, maybe they didn't do it
[00:16:03] on purpose, but the police once they charged, so they
[00:16:07] have...
[00:16:09] This hairdresser, located on Place de la Nation, reluctantly considers
[00:16:13] closing. It's half-days less work,
[00:16:16] so less turnover. You have to pay employees, you have
[00:16:19] to, well, you have to pay
[00:16:23] the Interior, 80,000 demonstrators are expected in Paris this
[00:16:27] afternoon.
[00:16:30] So, for this state of affairs, under pressure from the
[00:16:34] street, which continues to demand more resources, the executive finds
[00:16:38] itself under pressure from elected officials too. You'll understand that after about ten days of
[00:16:42] disjointed debates, deputies rejected yesterday unanimously the revenue part of the state
[00:16:45] budget bill for 2027.
[00:16:47] 458 deputies from all groups, including those supporting the government,
[00:16:51] blocked the text despite it being deeply
[00:16:55] transformed. Result: back to square one. The Senate
[00:16:59] will have to, from November 20, examine the bill in its
[00:17:02] initial version.
[00:17:05] Alright, let's head now to the
[00:17:07] US, where Democrats will probably continue to celebrate their total victory
[00:17:11] in the midterms today. They swept everything, majority in the House, Senate,
[00:17:15] and good victories for governor positions too. Guaranteed
[00:17:19] to win 54 seats in the upper house, Democrats
[00:17:22] are still waiting for results today in Alaska and Mississippi.
[00:17:25] On the Republican side, some have started
[00:17:29] to pressure Donald Trump. The plant has reshuffled his
[00:17:32] administration and changed his policy strategy. The
[00:17:37] to digest for J'associer, a president at the end of his term, who
[00:17:41] was nevertheless considered a favorite for the Republican
[00:17:44] nomination. He has been trying to distance himself from the White House president,
[00:17:47] blaming, like him, this electoral disaster on the war in
[00:17:51] Iran. Tibo Franceske.
[00:17:55] After the stinging defeat of his party in the midterm elections, Donald
[00:17:58] Trump met with the press
[00:18:02] the ballroom he is having built at the White House. He acknowledged the
[00:18:05] results without seeing them as a repudiation of himself. Rather,
[00:18:09] his vice president recognized the link with the war in Iran. When
[00:18:13] questioned on the matter, Donald Trump did not deny it, but did
[00:18:17] not regret his choices
[00:18:18] either.
[00:18:21] I think that's largely true because
[00:18:24] prices, but I thought oil prices would rise much
[00:18:28] more, and that's on that basis that I acted. We had no choice, we had to
[00:18:33] nuclear weapons, otherwise everything you see here could well disappear one day.
[00:18:37] But the Democrats who now control Congress no longer want this
[00:18:41] war. Americans don't know at all why we are fighting in Iran. He has
[00:18:45] never clearly explained it. He changes his mind from one day to the next, even from one minute to
[00:18:49] the next. This war must end.
[00:18:53] Their power in this matter remains however limited. They will have control over the
[00:18:56] budget, including defense, but military operations will remain a
[00:19:00] prerogative of the White House. Democrats now want to ride this
[00:19:04] blue wave to have influence and pass bills in Congress. But
[00:19:07] be careful of the presidential veto, an important
[00:19:10] power that Donald Trump intends to use. The two camps will
[00:19:14] therefore have to find compromises.
[00:19:18] We are working for the American
[00:19:19] people,
[00:19:22] and the days when the House of Representatives
[00:19:26] the Trump administration are over.
[00:19:29] House Democrats will lead a Congress that will truly be a check
[00:19:33] on an out-of-control executive branch.
[00:19:39] By controlling the Senate, Democrats will also be able to launch
[00:19:43] investigations and block Donald Trump's appointments to key
[00:19:46] positions.
[00:19:49] So, by making their choices this Tuesday, November 3rd,
[00:19:52] Americans also expressed their rejection of
[00:19:56] multi-billionaires. These midterm elections were the most
[00:20:00] expensive in history, with nearly 12 billion dollars spent during the campaign.
[00:20:03] A significant portion of this sum came from large donors, the Super PACs,
[00:20:07] raising 2.5 billion almost dollars for Republicans, a
[00:20:11] little less for Democrats, 2 billion. Technology
[00:20:14] mogul Elon Musk was by far the largest individual donor
[00:20:18] of all time, injecting more than 440
[00:20:21] million dollars into the Republican Party. This defeat is therefore also partly
[00:20:25] his. Watch:
[00:20:28] It's a victory of the people against money. It is with these words that
[00:20:31] James Talarico hails his election as senator,
[00:20:34] the first Democrat in Texas since
[00:20:38] 1988. Behind this phrase, he targets
[00:20:41] one man in particular: Elon Musk. I believe that
[00:20:45] Texans have sent a somewhat clearer message to the world's first trillionaire.
[00:20:48] Texas is not for sale.
[00:20:52] Power in this state, in this country, belongs to the people, and
[00:20:56] we must ensure that it remains that way. It is estimated that Elon Musk
[00:20:59] spent over $200 million solely for Texas and the campaign
[00:21:03] of Republican Ken Paxton for the Senate, bringing his
[00:21:07] financial investment in these midterm elections to over $445 million,
[00:21:10] a record in modern American history.
[00:21:14] Texans also elected a Democratic governor who
[00:21:18] promised to crack down on data centers, and this while Elon
[00:21:21] Musk transferred his residence and his businesses from California
[00:21:25] to Texas during the COVID-19 pandemic, where he found more
[00:21:29] favorable business conditions. On his social
[00:21:32] network, the billionaire was sarcastic. I
[00:21:35] feel like my space lasers' interference in the elections didn't work
[00:21:39] this time. The Democratic blue wave that swept Congress could also
[00:21:43] thwart his plans. His projects such as the factory in
[00:21:46] Terrafab semiconductors worth 100 billion dollars and a potential
[00:21:50] merger between SpaceX and Tesla could now be subject to
[00:21:54] further scrutiny. Both chambers also want to strengthen
[00:21:57] oversight of tech giants and billionaires. We're
[00:22:01] also heading to Israel, in this news report, where negotiations to form
[00:22:04] a government continue. Gadcoat, the main
[00:22:07] rival of Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu, who wants to take his
[00:22:11] place after the elections, well, he pledged yesterday to
[00:22:14] renew, to also strengthen relations with the United States, if he became
[00:22:18] head of government. As a result of the negotiations, since no party
[00:22:22] has an absolute majority, agreements still need to be
[00:22:25] found. More details right away in images by Thibo
[00:22:28] Franceske.
[00:22:31] He is not yet prime minister, but Gadia Izenkot is already projecting
[00:22:35] himself into the future of Israeli-American relations.
[00:22:39] While negotiations continue to form a government after the
[00:22:42] legislative elections. The opposition leader to Benjamin
[00:22:46] Netanyahu says he wants to strengthen ties with the United States.
[00:22:51] "Under my leadership, we will renew and strengthen the partnership with the
[00:22:54] United States and consolidate the bipartisan foundations that have long
[00:22:58] supported it." A statement that comes the day after a crucial
[00:23:01] announcement by Donald Trump, he wants to cut American aid to
[00:23:05] Israel, established annually by Barack Obama in
[00:23:08] 2019. The United States has always been a major
[00:23:12] political and financial supporter of the Hebrew state. Last
[00:23:15] year, Israel was the second most aided country by Washington
[00:23:18] after Ukraine. Interviewed by phone on Fox
[00:23:21] News, Donald Trump speaks of a mutually agreed
[00:23:25] decision. "Bibi Netanyahu and I had reached
[00:23:28] an agreement that we would pay 4 billion dollars a year to Israel,
[00:23:32] and we agreed a few months ago to end it. On their
[00:23:36] side, it suits them, because as you know, it has become a very prosperous country, they
[00:23:39] don't need it anymore." The announcement also comes as the Democrats have just
[00:23:43] won the midterm elections, and if Joe Biden
[00:23:47] was conciliatory with the Hebrew state until his departure,
[00:23:50] other Democrats did not hesitate to criticize the scale of the war in Gaza and the number of
[00:23:54] victims. The American Congress could therefore be
[00:23:57] less inclined to help Israel in
[00:23:59] the future.
