[00:00:01] Beresheet sheltered housing in the Jerusalem mountains, and now
[00:00:14] B. Our next update
[00:01:06] in the House of Representatives, from this coming January, President
[00:01:09] Trump will face a confrontational Congress. With us is Nathan
[00:01:13] Guttman, our correspondent in Washington. And President Trump
[00:01:16] announces that the veto will start working, the veto he has
[00:01:19] against the Senate and against the House of Representatives.
[00:01:23] Yes, Arieh, President Trump is already preparing for the new reality
[00:01:27] and actually accepts the fact that his
[00:01:30] Republican party lost the majority in both houses. Trump,
[00:01:34] on the one hand, says that he will respect the election results,
[00:01:38] on the other hand, he quickly posts a picture of his veto hat,
[00:01:42] making it clear that he will block the legislation of the Democrats in the new
[00:01:45] Congress by means of the veto right,
[00:01:48] the veto right that is granted to him. We need
[00:01:51] to note in this context, first of all, the results themselves.
[00:01:55] The counting is still ongoing, but already at this
[00:01:58] stage, there is a majority of... 51 senators
[00:02:02] for the Democrats out of the hundred in the Senate,
[00:02:05] and the counting is still ongoing. There are still a number of states. What is particularly
[00:02:09] interesting regarding the Senate are the states where the Democrats
[00:02:13] won, deep red
[00:02:16] states, states considered Republican strongholds,
[00:02:19] including, for example, first of all,
[00:02:22] of course, Texas, but also South Carolina and Iowa,
[00:02:26] and Ohio and Kansas, and they haven't counted yet.
[00:03:01] We listened, we listened to the American people, we went, we sat with them in the kitchen, we heard what
[00:03:05] they wanted and we dared them, says Schumer. He mainly means
[00:03:08] the issue of the cost of living, and also of
[00:03:12] democracy, of the future of democracy, two issues that, according to polls,
[00:03:16] are what worried the voters and what made them vote
[00:03:19] against the
[00:03:22] Republicans in the end. This was
[00:03:25] in the Senate. In the House of Representatives, the Democrats also won.
[00:03:29] They are expected to rule there with a large majority. The next
[00:03:32] Speaker of the House will be Hakeem Jeffries. He will be
[00:03:36] the first African American to hold this
[00:03:39] position. By the way, regarding Israel, Jeffries is considered one of
[00:03:42] the moderates in his party, a kind of moderating force against
[00:03:46] the progressives in everything related
[00:03:48] to Israel.
[00:03:51] The issue of the war in Iran was of course in the background
[00:03:55] of this election campaign, not so much in the question of what Iran
[00:03:58] is doing, but in the question of how it affects the American
[00:04:02] public in fuel prices, the cost of living
[00:04:05] and inflation. Donald Trump now has to decide what he does with
[00:04:08] this war. He said that he does not intend to attack
[00:04:12] immediately after the elections, after
[00:04:15] the midterm elections. On the other hand, he did not rule out this
[00:04:18] possibility. He has a relatively short window of opportunity
[00:04:22] to do so, because in January the new Congress will convene,
[00:04:25] and the Democrats have already made it clear that they will not allow military actions
[00:04:29] without Congress. Thank you, Nathan Guttman
[00:04:32] in Washington. We will return to this issue of the midterm election results
[00:04:36] in the United States. Now to the harsh
[00:04:39] reactions in the political system to the demand
[00:04:42] of the head of the Shin Bet, David Zini, who was appointed by Gali Be'erav
[00:04:46] Mayra, to allow him to investigate Knesset members Tibi and Abbas
[00:04:49] and the chairman of Balad, Abu Shahada, on suspicion
[00:04:52] of foreign involvement in swaying the elections. Investigation sources
[00:04:56] claim that there is no evidentiary basis for Zini's demand,
[00:04:59] so said this morning our police reporter, Lunovsky. Good
[00:05:03] morning to you. Good morning, Arieh. This is an unprecedented
[00:05:06] event in the enforcement system that leads to a confrontation also within the Shin Bet, between senior
[00:05:10] officials in the organization and the head of the Shin Bet, Zini, whose role was also covered extensively here
[00:05:13] this week, and also to a very unusual public confrontation
[00:05:16] between the legal advisor and the head of the Shin Bet, when the root
[00:05:20] of the confrontation, as you said, is Zini's desire to investigate
[00:05:24] senior officials in the Arab parties on suspicion of election fraud, without
[00:05:27] there currently being any material,
[00:05:30] any investigation material, any indication of their involvement without suspicion or evidence, only on
[00:05:34] the basis of some desire to conduct a comprehensive examination of the integrity of the elections in Arab society
[00:05:38] following those known complaints that we know about
[00:05:41] election fraud. Or or falsifications. And I will explain. According to
[00:05:45] Avishai Greenzeig's publication in 24, Zini
[00:05:48] raises in the meeting the names of four senior officials who should be investigated with a warning,
[00:05:52] exactly so. One of them is a Knesset member about whom there is
[00:05:55] indeed information that he received money from an unknown source for alleged
[00:05:58] use in the elections. But regarding the other
[00:06:02] three, Ahmed Tibi, Mansour Abbas, Sami Abu Shahade, checks
[00:06:06] that we conduct with sources familiar with the details
[00:06:09] of the investigation show that for them there is no
[00:06:15] election fraud or foreign
[00:06:17] involvement. So, in fact, out of four senior officials, regarding
[00:06:20] three, at least for now from the known material, material that has been presented,
[00:06:24] there is currently no indication whatsoever, and therefore here
[00:06:28] the question marks arise. I will tell you another point on this matter,
[00:06:31] on Sunday, in the joint statement of Solberg, the legal advisor and the head of the Shin Bet,
[00:06:35] they announce the establishment of a joint investigation team
[00:06:39] for this matter, for the police, for the Shin Bet, and for the prosecution, but...
[00:06:42] Since then, three days, the Shin Bet is currently not cooperating with
[00:06:45] the police, has not transferred materials, so
[00:06:48] in practice, it is not implementing the decision of Solberg, Deputy
[00:06:52] Chief Justice of the Supreme Court and Chairman of the Election Committee,
[00:06:55] and this event is also in the background of the opposition expressed by the head of the Shin Bet this week
[00:06:59] to involve the police in the event, after there was some
[00:07:03] discussion about these suspicions, when professional sources say that a central part of what
[00:07:06] emerges in the information are criminal matters, which are not within the Shin Bet's authority, and therefore the police
[00:07:10] need to be involved, and all of this, of course. In the background, calls in the Likud
[00:07:14] and in the Netanyahu bloc not to accept the election results, and also claims that Zini
[00:07:17] should investigate the suspicions. The Likud says the legal advisor ties
[00:07:21] the Shin Bet's hands, refuses to allow the investigation into foreign intervention
[00:07:25] in the elections. On the other hand, Gadi Eizenkot
[00:07:28] says that the Likud and Netanyahu are trying to carry out a pogrom against democracy. He also
[00:07:31] sends a message to Zini, woe to him
[00:07:34] who abuses his position for political considerations. Yair
[00:07:38] Lapid even says that they are trying to steal the elections with the help of the government's
[00:07:41] stooges. In the security establishment, as he defines it,
[00:07:44] of course hinting at the conduct of the head of the Shin Bet. Also in the joint
[00:07:48] Ra'am, they reacted and said in the joint,
[00:07:51] Zini has gone off the rails, we will not allow Zini and Netanyahu to turn
[00:07:55] Arab votes into a security threat, and they add and say at
[00:07:58] the end of their statement, the public spoke its mind at the ballot box. This
[00:08:02] is the wording of the Joint List's response to this matter. Thank you,
[00:08:05] Runovsky, and the Attorney General published
[00:08:08] yesterday a very harsh statement against the head of the Shabak, David Ze'ev.
[00:08:12] On this matter, with us for a report is our legal commentator
[00:08:16] Tamar Almog. Hello, good morning Tamar. Hello Arieh, good morning. So
[00:08:19] yes, we are talking about a very unusual statement, and we are not saying this, but
[00:08:23] the Attorney General herself says so in her statement. "In a most
[00:08:26] unusual manner and in light of erroneous publications, the Attorney General
[00:08:30] wishes to convey that" - and pay attention to this sentence, which should be the most obvious
[00:08:33] in a state of law - "citizens or public officials cannot be investigated
[00:08:37] without evidence justifying it." But the hint
[00:08:41] regarding the conduct of the head of the Shin Bet, from the Attorney General's perspective,
[00:08:44] does not end here. She says that if the Shin Bet or any
[00:08:48] other entity has evidence that justifies an investigation, they are invited
[00:08:51] to present it. Everyone who needs to be investigated will be investigated, but people
[00:08:55] will not be investigated without an evidentiary basis. Three different ways to convey the message of the Attorney
[00:08:59] General that the Shin Bet, the head
[00:09:02] of the Shin Bet, is requesting to investigate people without having an evidentiary
[00:09:06] basis for it. The Attorney General also says explicitly that the Shin Bet has not
[00:09:10] been transferring materials for two days.
[00:09:12] Materials that exist, as a continuation of what Lunovsky said, materials
[00:09:16] collected for the special investigation team, and therefore
[00:09:19] the Shin Bet is the one delaying the handling of the matter. What will happen
[00:09:23] from here, Arieh? We know to whom prophecy was given, but
[00:09:26] according to the exchange of words, it can be assumed that not everything
[00:09:30] will be resolved this morning. That is probably
[00:09:33] certain. Thank you very much, and with us now is the chairman of the Democrats,
[00:09:36] Yair Golan. Good morning to you. Good morning
[00:09:40] Ari, good morning to the listeners. First of all, on this matter, that the head of the Shin Bet, David Zini, is not
[00:09:43] right to want to use special means, if he
[00:09:47] suspects that there might be security offenses
[00:09:50] related to intervention, foreign intervention in the elections
[00:09:53] we went through?
[00:09:56] Look, Zini simply can't handle
[00:09:59] the pressure. Who is pressuring him? I said, I
[00:10:03] said when Zini was appointed to the position, and I remind
[00:10:06] you that this is a clearly controversial appointment, because it's clear
[00:10:10] that there were more suitable people than him. That he has
[00:10:13] two tests, one is the investigation of the Qatari affair, and the other
[00:10:16] is the fight against Jewish terrorism
[00:10:20] that is spreading throughout Judea and Samaria, threatening Israel's security, the security
[00:10:24] of all of us. Uh, he failed both these tests.
[00:10:28] Afterwards, I said he has a third test, which is protecting Israeli
[00:10:31] democracy. He probably can't handle the pressure exerted on him from the Prime Minister's
[00:10:35] Office, and is essentially trying to illegally shackle
[00:10:39] Israeli democracy.
[00:10:41] Uh, this thing is simply inconceivable, and it testifies first of all to
[00:10:44] who appointed David Zini and how determined he is to fight
[00:10:48] democracy and essentially nullify the free elections
[00:10:52] and truly the... The truly impressive elections that took place here
[00:10:55] less than a week ago, and the second
[00:10:58] thing is that,
[00:11:01] when we return
[00:11:04] to power, we will examine every appointment responsibly and check every
[00:11:08] thing seriously and professionally, and whoever
[00:11:12] is not suitable and unable to fulfill
[00:11:15] their role will simply have to leave their position. Well, that's certainly a hint
[00:11:19] to David Zini, maybe also to the head of the Mossad, Gofman, but you need
[00:11:23] to form the government. I want to ask you first of all
[00:11:26] about this matter, following the defeat of President Trump
[00:11:29] and the Republicans in the midterm elections in the United States, do
[00:11:33] you think that if you succeed in forming the change government,
[00:11:37] it will be easier for you to return to bipartisan
[00:11:40] support for the State of Israel, even though
[00:11:43] it is a Democratic party,
[00:11:45] progressive, in fact parts of it are really anti-
[00:11:49] Israeli? I want to tell you, I have plenty
[00:11:52] of contacts with American administrations. From the past,
[00:11:56] especially from my time as Chief of the Home Front Command and as Deputy
[00:11:58] Chief of Staff, the approach was always a fundamental
[00:12:02] approach of the State of Israel, a non-partisan approach, an approach
[00:12:06] that says that we essentially know how to work with any American administration, whether
[00:12:09] it is Democratic or Republican.
[00:12:12] This approach, the one who violated it grossly and in a way
[00:12:16] that endangers the security interests of the State of
[00:12:19] Israel, is again Benjamin Netanyahu.
[00:12:23] Netanyahu essentially destroyed our relations with the Democrats,
[00:12:26] and they will have a rebuilding job, and I can... will you be able to do it with a Democratic
[00:12:30] party that has completely changed? I, I, I know the American
[00:12:34] scene well, I am convinced that we will know how to restore
[00:12:37] our relations with the United States. Our special relations with the United
[00:12:41] States are a strategic asset, and it is one of
[00:12:44] the most important and first tasks we will have to do is to restore
[00:12:47] our relations with the United States and reach a situation where we know how to work with
[00:12:51] the Trump administration and also with any other administration, and even if there is a Democratic
[00:12:55] administration. And to convince, and to convince the Trump administration first of all
[00:12:58] to continue with the security assistance of four billion
[00:13:02] dollars per year at least until 2028, as it should
[00:13:05] have been? Look, what's
[00:13:08] happening here is a dark political deal without
[00:13:12] any explanation, without any prior discussion with the heads
[00:13:16] of the security establishment. I remind you that American aid
[00:13:19] is a fundamental building block in the force building of the Israel
[00:13:22] Defense Forces, in the defense of all of us. And
[00:13:26] the fact that Netanyahu decides on his own to give up military
[00:13:29] aid for two years totaling 7.6 billion
[00:13:33] dollars without consulting with anyone, without explaining to anyone,
[00:13:36] without explaining to the citizens of Israel, why he is giving it up? This is something
[00:13:40] that smells, stinks of a dark
[00:13:43] political deal, what exactly did he promise
[00:13:46] President Trump in return, that's really not
[00:13:49] clear, uh, or what did he ask President Trump for in return, sorry,
[00:13:53] that's not clear. The support he received twice before
[00:13:57] the elections? Was that the deal in your opinion? It could be
[00:14:00] that's the deal, it could be that the deal is actually the cost
[00:14:04] of another attack in Iran. One thing
[00:14:07] is clear, Netanyahu is mortgaging the future, the security
[00:14:10] future of the State of Israel, for his personal
[00:14:13] needs and political needs. This is an act of unprecedented
[00:14:16] severity, which justifies by itself, it
[00:14:20] itself justifies the establishment of a Jewish inquiry committee to investigate
[00:14:24] why Netanyahu decides on his own to give up
[00:14:27] without any consultation with any party on 7.6
[00:14:30] billion dollars, which is, I say again, the cornerstone
[00:14:34] of the force building of the Israel Defense Forces. Now,
[00:14:38] let's talk, Yair Golan, about your meeting yesterday.
[00:14:41] You finally met together. In your opinion, who do you
[00:14:45] prefer to rely on
[00:14:48] for an Eizenkot government, if you manage to form it? On
[00:14:51] the Haredim or on the Arab parties? With whom will it be
[00:14:55] easier for you to run the country?
[00:14:58] I want to tell you, first of all, it was a good meeting, in a good
[00:15:01] spirit. I trust my
[00:15:04] partners, that all of us
[00:15:08] understand the gravity of the hour and the urgent need to form a stable
[00:15:11] government. We will find the formula. I can't tell
[00:15:14] you if it's Haredim, Arabs,
[00:15:17] a combination. We will find the formula, and this
[00:15:20] formula will be formulated in the basic principles
[00:15:23] of the government. Everyone who joins the government must agree to these basic principles.
[00:15:27] Now, Lieberman hinted in his meeting
[00:15:31] with political reporters that the Haredim
[00:15:33] are preferred. Uh, of course, the price will be a blanket exemption.
[00:15:37] All Haredi draft dodgers who study
[00:15:40] in yeshivas, would you say that forming the change government
[00:15:44] with all the important implications that you
[00:15:47] and others attribute to forming a different government, is more
[00:15:51] important than equal service for everyone?
[00:15:54] I think it's still early, so
[00:15:57] to speak, to cut the ribbon, as long as there is no coalition agreement,
[00:16:01] and therefore, at the moment, nothing is being given up, but rather
[00:16:04] serious discussions are being held for all parties.
[00:16:09] I am impressed that these are really people who came to work and are doing an excellent
[00:16:12] job, as are we Democrats. We
[00:16:15] will eventually find the formula, and this formula
[00:16:19] will include, I repeat, basic principles,
[00:16:22] to which ultimately everyone who is part of the future coalition
[00:16:26] will be committed. Yes, you keep pushing, you said
[00:16:30] it before the elections, unlike others in the change bloc,
[00:16:33] that a government should be founded, a government
[00:16:36] that will last. Which is a completely legitimate thing, even
[00:16:40] with the support of the Arab parties. But the question is
[00:16:42] practical, what will happen for example with an Eizenkot government, if such
[00:16:46] a one is formed, when the IDF goes to war in Gaza against Hamas or
[00:16:50] in Lebanon against Hezbollah? The
[00:16:52] Joint List will immediately side with them, and also
[00:16:56] in Ra'am, gradually the members will withdraw. I
[00:16:59] want to say that this is one of the lies spread by
[00:17:03] Netanyahu's poison machine, again
[00:17:05] and again. As far as I know and as far
[00:17:08] as I am familiar with the negotiations, there is no discussion
[00:17:12] of the Joint List as part of the coalition.
[00:17:15] Not even external support? External
[00:17:18] support? Even external support will not be there if you go to war.
[00:17:22] I, I want to tell you, decisions
[00:17:25] to go to war are made in the political
[00:17:28] security cabinet. The Joint List will not be in that cabinet. There is
[00:17:32] no demand from Ra'am to be in that cabinet, and therefore there is no real
[00:17:35] substantive limitation on the ability of the State of Israel to make
[00:17:39] decisions on security matters. I tell you even more
[00:17:43] than that, the fear is of such a government
[00:17:46] in which Gadi Eizenkot and Yair
[00:17:49] Golan sit, and two former defense ministers, or
[00:17:53] should the fear be of another Netanyahu government, a financier
[00:17:57] of Hamas, that I asked about here, that's a fear
[00:18:00] of its stability and survivability of such
[00:18:03] a government. I tell you, I tell you, so to speak, enough trouble for the day.
[00:18:07] But... That's not the problem. Our problem is that we cannot afford
[00:18:10] another government led by a Hamas financier. And after the disaster
[00:18:14] of October 7th, we cannot afford another government
[00:18:18] that makes evasion its goal, on the background
[00:18:21] of which a defense minister is fired, and on the background of which the chairman of the Foreign Affairs
[00:18:25] and Defense Committee is replaced. We cannot afford another government in which ministers
[00:18:29] sit who support Jewish terrorism throughout Judea and Samaria,
[00:18:32] arm their people and essentially finance its activities. This
[00:18:35] is what is dangerous for the State of Israel. And we must change something faster.
[00:18:39] Yair Golan, chairman of the Democrats, I thank you very much. Good
[00:18:42] morning. Good morning. Now from the Likud, Minister of Diaspora Affairs,
[00:18:46] Amichai Chikli. Good morning to you, Mr. Minister. Good
[00:18:49] morning. First of all, I want to hear your reaction, I ask for your reaction
[00:18:52] to the Democratic victory in both houses of Congress in the United
[00:18:56] States. A blow to Israel? No? Absolutely
[00:19:00] clear. The Democratic Party is undergoing
[00:19:04] radicalization processes. You have more and more there. It's
[00:19:22] not that they are people, you know,
[00:19:24] leftists and with such and such differences
[00:19:28] regarding such and such a policy. These are people
[00:19:31] who are anti-Israeli to the bone, who deny
[00:19:35] the right of the State of Israel to exist.
[00:19:38] Uh, part of a phenomenon that we see all over the world of radicalization of the political
[00:19:42] system, by the way, apropos the conversation with... with
[00:19:45] Yair Golan, yes,
[00:19:48] and this is certainly a very, very heavy challenge for the State of Israel.
[00:19:52] Okay, let's move on to matters that are unfolding here with us, Minister Chikli, do you
[00:19:56] believe that contrary to the Attorney General's instruction, the head
[00:19:59] of the Shin Bet, David Zini, must investigate with a warning the heads of the Arab
[00:20:03] parties without evidence, and also with special means that only
[00:20:07] the General Security Service has, as if they are suspected of security offenses regarding
[00:20:11] foreign intervention in
[00:20:13] our elections? I cannot say about all the heads of the Arab
[00:20:17] parties, I, I, we currently have two Arab parties, I know
[00:20:21] that the matter is to what extent. We
[00:20:24] also have, in the opinion of Justice
[00:20:27] Solberg, suspicions that are serious
[00:20:30] suspicions regarding both foreign funding
[00:20:34] once, and also regarding the incitement that is...
[00:20:37] incitement in exchange for either
[00:20:40] fuel cards or cash. There are testimonies
[00:20:44] of envelopes that were passed, money that was passed, fuel cards
[00:20:47] that flooded the Negev on election day.
[00:20:50] And what they want to do is investigate these things thoroughly, investigate them thoroughly.
[00:20:54] But the Attorney General says, it's against the law
[00:20:57] to investigate without evidence, meaning there's no
[00:20:59] evidence. I want to explain something at this
[00:21:03] point, the General Security Service
[00:21:06] operates with several precautions, operates in Gaza, operates in Judea and Samaria against a population
[00:21:10] that is not, these are not citizens, and it also has work with Israeli
[00:21:13] citizens. In work with Israeli citizens, if you want to use tools
[00:21:17] that are effective investigation tools, for example, wiretaps, for
[00:21:21] example, breaking into cell phones,
[00:21:24] for example, all tools of security
[00:21:27] organizations, apropos what used to be
[00:21:30] Pegasus, every such action towards
[00:21:33] a citizen in the State of Israel requires
[00:21:37] full cooperation, yes, court orders,
[00:21:41] a prosecution that backs these things up. The Shin Bet cannot, it
[00:21:45] is very, very limited. Now you have suspicions, you want to provide
[00:21:48] evidence, in order to provide. You need to carry out investigation activities,
[00:21:52] and the Attorney General is preventing the General Security Service
[00:21:55] from carrying out investigation activities. But she relies on the law, which does not allow such an investigation
[00:21:59] without evidence, without
[00:22:00] suspicion. There is no law
[00:22:04] that prevents the Shin Bet
[00:22:07] from investigating suspicions in order to establish an evidentiary
[00:22:10] basis. What she is saying is absurd. In order to
[00:22:14] turn suspicion
[00:22:17] into evidence, an investigation must be conducted.
[00:22:20] Now, if there is no investigation approval for David
[00:22:24] Zini and his people, then they cannot fulfill their role, and then
[00:22:27] we don't understand who exactly transferred these fuel cards, how is it
[00:22:31] that suddenly the Negev is flooded with fuel cards? What are these testimonies that people
[00:22:35] are recording themselves with cash at polling stations? What about
[00:22:38] those suspicions against Knesset members who allegedly
[00:22:41] received cash in hundreds
[00:22:44] of thousands from other countries? There are all sorts of things here that require investigation.
[00:22:48] Now, without legal
[00:22:50] backing for the General Security Service, it's impossible to investigate, simply. And everything
[00:22:53] is fine. You don't recognize the results
[00:22:57] of the Knesset elections, so allow me. I didn't
[00:23:01] say I don't recognize them, I'm asking. I
[00:23:04] don't... We understand, again, I
[00:23:08] repeat, Solberg also said that there are
[00:23:12] things here that seem very serious, but overall the election
[00:23:15] results, the election results, that's what he said, it won't change the election
[00:23:19] results. I don't, I again, I didn't come
[00:23:23] to talk, that's not the point, in my opinion, the critical point,
[00:23:26] the critical point is to thoroughly investigate the matters. By the way, you
[00:23:30] understand that sometimes a thousand votes is the difference between... I'm a graduate
[00:23:33] of the New Right, it can be the difference between passing or not passing, it can be between a mandate
[00:23:37] for Ra'am and a mandate for Shas. I don't think that this investigation
[00:23:41] will now make changes of 10 mandates, but it can
[00:23:44] create changes. By the way, we also need to remember a few
[00:23:48] other things, there are parties here that...
[00:23:58] and they are parties that will swear in their members
[00:24:01] to the Knesset next Monday, and that
[00:24:05] can no longer be changed, even if your opinion of the parties is such or
[00:24:09] another. The Prime Minister this time also broadcasts
[00:24:12] all the time on social media things like "it's great that Arabs
[00:24:15] are integrating into state life and politics and everything
[00:24:19] is wonderful." But it's not always suitable for you. I want to ask you
[00:24:23] something about the issue of the Arab parties. I think that if there was election
[00:24:26] fraud here and if there was foreign involvement here and if it's possible
[00:24:30] that we need to disqualify a large part
[00:24:33] of this, it could indeed have an impact and we should
[00:24:37] not sweep it under the rug and say that in any case, no matter what, it's not
[00:24:41] accurate. We need to say that there were very, very serious events here.
[00:24:45] We see recurring
[00:24:46] patterns.
[00:24:49] Regarding
[00:24:58] the replacement of the Speaker of the Knesset, Amir Ohana, which is expected next
[00:25:02] week, you wrote somewhere
[00:25:05] that replacing Speaker of the Knesset
[00:25:09] Amir Ohana with the help of the Arab parties is a stab
[00:25:12] in the back. I am sure
[00:25:15] where were you in civics class? Playing
[00:25:18] paddleball at the beach? I want to say the following:
[00:25:22] what is happening here with the Arab parties is a very,
[00:25:25] very, very serious event. The Arab
[00:25:28] parties, the problem is not that the parties are, they have
[00:25:32] Arab voters, we are talking about radical
[00:25:35] parties, of terror supporters,
[00:25:39] anti-Zionist to the bone,
[00:25:41] and we have never had a partnership,
[00:25:45] that this partnership actually shapes
[00:25:48] where the country is going. But you know, I checked, I checked the Basic
[00:25:52] Law, I checked the Basic Law of the Knesset and also the Knesset Rules of Procedure.
[00:25:55] It says there: the Knesset may, by a decision of a majority
[00:25:58] of its members or by a larger majority as determined by law, remove
[00:26:03] the Speaker of the Knesset from office. It does not say that only with
[00:26:06] Jews or with a majority of Zionists, but with a majority
[00:26:09] of its members, and the Arab parties are
[00:26:12] in the Knesset, and in the Knesset Rules of Procedure, wait, second, second, second,
[00:26:15] second, and in the Knesset Rules of Procedure it says, the Knesset shall elect by open
[00:26:19] ballot the Speaker of the Knesset, and the Deputy
[00:26:22] Speakers. Again, nothing is said regarding
[00:26:24] their origin, gender, party, or whether they pray
[00:26:28] three times a day, but that's it, the Knesset shall elect the Speaker
[00:26:32] of the Knesset. That's all. That's not... So I want
[00:26:35] us to dwell for a minute on Yosef. The public does not know
[00:26:38] who Yosef Jabareen is, yes. From the Joint List. They don't know
[00:26:42] who Yosef Jabareen is. Yes.
[00:26:45] This is the man, yes, who wrote
[00:26:49] those, you know the vision documents of Arab-Israel?
[00:26:53] This is the man who wrote one of those documents from the Mossawa Center. This is a person
[00:26:56] who comes and says
[00:27:00] we do not recognize the State of Israel as a Jewish
[00:27:03] state. We demand the abolition of state symbols,
[00:27:06] we demand the abolition of the Law of Return, we
[00:27:09] demand official recognition of the Nakba. This is
[00:27:12] a party that, by the way, the Joint List,
[00:27:16] it ran legally for the Knesset and also received many votes,
[00:27:20] is composed of three, is composed of three elements,
[00:27:24] the most radical of them is Balad. Balad is from which emerged
[00:27:27] the spy Azmi Bishara, Basel Ghattas, who was caught providing
[00:27:30] phones to terrorists in prison.
[00:28:02] associations that belong to Hamas. Now you come and say
[00:28:05] these people, none of whom,
[00:28:09] not even the supposedly moderate among them, are able
[00:28:12] to define Hamas as a terrorist organization, you come and say,
[00:28:16] people who do not recognize the State of Israel as a Jewish
[00:28:20] and democratic state, by the way, according to the Basic Law of the Knesset, they are supposed to declare in order
[00:28:24] to enter, supporters, heart and soul
[00:28:27] supporters of the armed struggle in the State of Israel, and they are the ones who will decide
[00:28:31] who will be the Speaker of the Knesset, I think this is an absurd act. Okay,
[00:28:34] Minister Amichai Chikli, we will invite you again, unfortunately. I thank you very much for
[00:28:38] your words, good morning. Thank you. President
[00:28:41] Trump's announcement about the reduction of American security aid to Israel at the end of
[00:28:44] 2026 surprised professional bodies in Israel,
[00:28:48] the security establishment, the Ministry of Finance. Our political correspondent,
[00:28:52] Gili Cohen, has the details. The questions in Israel surrounding
[00:28:56] Trump's announcement are only growing, the security establishment was surprised
[00:28:59] to hear President Trump announce: In an interview with Fox
[00:29:03] News yesterday, when he was asked a question
[00:29:06] about it, about the security aid to Israel
[00:29:09] being cancelled, from now on, until now
[00:29:12] in Israel, no staff work has been received, or at least from what we know from senior
[00:29:16] officials, no staff work
[00:29:19] or a process explaining exactly
[00:29:22] what is going to happen has been received, and until now we have not heard any
[00:29:26] reaction from Prime Minister Netanyahu, even though we contacted his office
[00:29:30] several times, it was not received. Regarding
[00:29:33] the matters, the details themselves are very important, the aid agreement
[00:29:36] is set to expire at the end of 2028, this
[00:29:40] is an agreement that essentially stipulates that every year Israel will receive
[00:29:44] aid from the United States of 3.8
[00:29:47] billion dollars. This agreement, by the way, was signed
[00:29:50] during President Obama's term
[00:29:53] in 2016 and its implementation is
[00:29:57] until the end of the year, so does this mean that Israel will lose almost
[00:30:00] two years of aid worth almost eight billion
[00:30:04] dollars? The answer, at least for now, is not clear. It is true
[00:30:08] that Prime Minister Netanyahu was the one who proposed in his meeting
[00:30:11] in Mar-a-Lago with President Trump at the end of
[00:30:14] December 2025
[00:30:17] to go ahead with this move. But Netanyahu, in an interview
[00:30:20] with The Economist, said that this move, or
[00:30:24] at least his aspiration, was for the aid agreement between Israel
[00:30:27] and the United States to be canceled within a decade, i.e., the next
[00:30:31] agreement. Between Israel and the United States, and therefore there are
[00:30:35] many question marks and lack of clarity regarding this move. It
[00:30:38] is true that every year Congress is the one that needs
[00:30:41] to approve or cancel or even transfer the aid
[00:30:45] funds, so there are also political implications in the United
[00:30:48] States, and from January Congress will probably look
[00:30:51] completely different from what it was until now. Did
[00:30:55] Trump ultimately prepare the ground for the possibility
[00:30:59] that Congress would vote against the transfer of aid? Anything can happen
[00:31:03] in American politics, but it should be remembered that until now, despite
[00:31:06] the years of war, despite the criticism in the Democratic
[00:31:09] Party, even in recent years, the American
[00:31:12] House of Representatives approved the transfer of aid
[00:31:16] to Israel, a transfer of aid that, as mentioned, has continued
[00:31:20] throughout the years of war. Security
[00:31:23] officials say they were surprised by the announcement of US President Donald
[00:31:27] Trump to stop security aid to Israel at the end of the year.
[00:31:31] They emphasize that the security establishment faces difficult questions
[00:31:34] about procurement plans, financing military purchases, whether
[00:31:38] Israel is ready to replace American money with Israeli
[00:31:42] money, reports our military correspondent Carmela.
[00:31:45] The security establishment expressed surprise, a senior IDF official said, "We were very surprised."
[00:31:49] Security officials asked questions about funding planes, helicopters
[00:31:53] and ammunition, and also about the continuation of joint projects
[00:31:57] for missile defense, Arrow, Iron Dome and David's
[00:32:00] Sling. However, Major General (res.) Gideon Sheffer, former head of the
[00:32:04] Air Force and a senior official at Elbit and the National Security Council,
[00:32:08] and contrary to the descriptions of surprise from senior officials
[00:32:10] in the system, Sheffer says that the possibility of a change in aid
[00:32:14] has existed for years and that the need to prepare for Israel's
[00:32:17] funding is not new. However, one must distinguish between general
[00:32:21] knowledge and knowing about the cessation of aid
[00:32:24] specifically at the time announced by the President of the United
[00:32:27] States. If we need it, we will buy it, says Sheffer, estimating
[00:32:31] that the cessation of aid will not significantly harm the security
[00:32:34] of the state. Israel will continue to purchase from the United States what it truly
[00:32:38] needs, but the payment in dollars will come
[00:32:41] from its budget. Four billion dollars, this is an amount that the state of
[00:32:45] Israel can afford and it will come at the expense of other
[00:32:48] things. According to him, some of the deals have already been funded
[00:32:51] by aid money, and he also emphasizes the importance of reciprocal
[00:32:54] purchases from the industry in Israel. Aid
[00:32:58] provides the IDF with a significant funding source, but it also ties a large
[00:33:01] part of the procurement to American
[00:33:04] industries. Increased investment in Israel may strengthen
[00:33:07] local production, expand employment and exports, and reduce
[00:33:11] dependence on foreign ammunition, as well as American companies.
[00:33:22] A security official says, "Israel will continue to need American
[00:33:26] platforms, and developing alternatives requires time and money."
[00:33:30] "Alongside planes and ammunition, we must not neglect
[00:33:33] the people," says
[00:43:28] called? If it didn't happen with another tribe, they wouldn't
[00:43:32] react like this. Maybe they would send representatives to the family or
[00:43:35] something. But the attitude towards the black person in this
[00:43:39] way. They kidnap him with a firearm, adults,
[00:43:43] and take him to some remote
[00:43:46] place and abuse him for several
[00:43:49] hours.
[00:43:52] What is that called? I don't know what else to
[00:43:54] call it. The difficult-to-watch video, in which a dark-skinned
[00:43:58] young man is beaten and humiliated, was circulated on social media, but
[00:44:02] it seems that the incident did not manage to shock those who are supposed
[00:44:05] to deal with the problem. Everyone in Rahat is responsible for what happened yesterday
[00:44:08] to the young man, everyone who saw on social media,
[00:44:12] parents, mothers, everyone who saw the kidnapped
[00:44:14] child, and did not for a moment think that it would continue, that it would be
[00:44:18] a chain, leading to murder, I don't know where else it will go,
[00:44:21] so everyone in Rahat is responsible. Traffic reports sponsored by

[00:45:13] them. Among people, host
[00:45:16] them. I don't know what "padel" is? I don't know anything,
[00:45:20] okay? I did this. this.
[00:45:22] זה.
[00:45:25] This could lead to our elimination. Period. Scary
[00:45:28] pressure, atomic pressure. This, I have pressure
[00:45:32] in my chest. All the mess starts
[00:45:34] to party.
[00:45:37] Double the money, tonight. After the news, on Kan

[00:45:57] A few weeks ago, journalist Shlomi Eldar publishes the biggest
[00:46:00] scoop of his life, on the very
[00:46:04] same day, he discovers that the love of his life
[00:46:07] is over. A conversation.
[00:46:10] Frankly about love and betrayal,
[00:46:13] about the truth and about the poison machine, about the warning
[00:46:17] that the President of the Emirates gave Netanyahu, and also
[00:46:20] about how to rise from the lowest
[00:46:23] point. And you forgot that there was also cancer along the way, but it ended with good
[00:46:26] news. Saturday night
[00:46:29] at a meeting.
[00:46:32] Looking back, we grew up in a completely
[00:46:35] crazy situation. Not a day goes by that they don't shoot at you. Everyone from the age of
[00:46:39] 16 received. beatings,
[00:46:41] fatalities,
[00:46:44] What are you willing to do to not give up on friendships? I'm even
[00:46:48] willing to die,
[00:46:50] that's how I lived, that only if there's... there's meaning,
[00:46:53] I lost my childhood at
[00:46:55] that age,
[00:46:57] הזה,
[00:47:00] our children grow up with a national mission. The greatest mission of
[00:47:03] a person in this world is for their children to be happy.
[00:47:07] Would you raise your children there? Children
[00:47:10] of Hebron, Saturday night after a meeting
[00:47:13] on Kan 11 and Kan
[00:47:15] Box.
[00:47:18] I just have one question. Everyone has just one question.
[00:47:23] They were a skeptical family, even
[00:47:26] in Europe,
[00:47:30] that it won't be less than three,
[00:47:31] okay,
[00:47:34] let them not pray if they suck us dry in America a few more years,
[00:47:38] yes,
[00:47:42] Sarah was there, come
[00:47:43] home.
[00:47:53] The Chamber Quintet, now
[00:47:55] on KanBox, everything is here. Let's start with the EuroCup
[00:47:59] basketball league, it's true that it's the second division in
[00:48:02] Europe, but still what our Hapoel Jerusalem is doing
[00:48:06] there is very impressive, meanwhile it has a perfect record
[00:48:09] of five wins and zero losses, but tonight it
[00:48:13] is meeting a very difficult opponent that has the same record, which is Aris Thessaloniki
[00:48:17] from Greece, Yuval Zussman captain of Jerusalem is preparing for the challenging
[00:48:21] game. Yes, Aris is first and foremost a very, very strong
[00:48:24] and high-quality team, with a lot of abilities and talent in every
[00:48:27] position, they are aggressive, open, athletic, of course
[00:48:31] a very, very high-level coach, but we
[00:48:34] are doing the right preparation, we believe in ourselves, we know what we need to do,
[00:48:38] we understand the importance of this game which is probably for the top
[00:48:41] of the group, with our fans
[00:48:42] who are with us,
[00:48:45] we now move to football, yesterday in the Champions League, Manchester United
[00:48:48] made a comeback and beat Roma 3-2 after falling behind.
[00:49:10] Tonight in the Champions League, English Liverpool will face Fenerbahçe
[00:49:13] of Turkey in Istanbul in one of the loudest stadiums
[00:49:17] in the world, according to Liverpool's Dutch striker Cody
[00:49:20] Gakpo.
[00:51:04] If I don't make 40,000 shekels here, Amnon, you are
[00:51:06] dead. The fact that you are not in the business, the business
[00:51:10] is collapsing. To run
[00:51:13] a business that is for vegans, I'm really cheating
[00:51:17] them. Go around among people, host
[00:51:20] them.
[00:51:22] I don't know what Padel is? I don't know anything, okay? I broke this.
[00:51:26] This.
[00:51:28] This could get us eliminated, period. Scary
[00:51:32] pressure, atomic pressure. I have
[00:51:35] chest pains. All the chaos is starting to party.

[00:51:58] Come and see. A few weeks ago, journalist Shlomi
[00:52:02] Eldar publishes the biggest scoop of:
[00:52:05] his life. On the very same day, he discovers
[00:52:08] that the love of his life

[00:52:43] fatalities,

[00:52:58] I lost my childhood at
[00:53:00] that age,
[00:53:02] our children grow up with a national mission. The greatest mission of
[00:53:06] a person in this world is for their children to be happy. Would
[00:53:10] you raise your children there? Children
[00:53:12] of Hebron, Saturday night after a meeting
[00:53:16] on Kan 11 and Kan Box.
[00:53:19] I am now in the market. Here they still
[00:53:23] sell Yehuda Cola products. Excuse me, excuse me, what happened? What, what, what
[00:53:27] happened? Are you really asking me, what happened? To sell
[00:53:30] Yehuda Cola products after their deputy CEO signed a petition
[00:53:34] of the strikers? You beat me to it before I came to remove
[00:53:37] Yehuda Cola's products. Ramzi, Ramzi, what did I tell you
[00:53:41] about Yehuda Cola, that if he had been with the completely pure, you would have
[00:53:44] melted with him? Cash register
[00:53:47] first after the news on Kan
[00:53:50] 11
[00:53:54] I just have one question, darling, everyone has just
[00:53:57] one question.
[00:53:59] They were a skeptical family, even
[00:54:03] in Europe.
[00:55:05] Final episode, Beersheba first after cash
[00:55:08] register on Kan 11 and Kan Box.
[00:55:23] Hello, good morning, it's eight now. We have a news
[00:55:25] update. First, to the midterm elections in the United States,
[00:55:29] the Democrats gained control of both houses of the American
[00:55:32] Congress. Nathan Guttman, our correspondent.
[00:55:39] Yonatan, this is not just a blue wave, it's a blue tsunami, the Democrats
[00:55:43] conquered the majority in both the House of Representatives and the Senate, the vote count
[00:55:46] is still ongoing and the gap may still widen in the coming hours. What
[00:55:50] is most interesting are the states in which Democratic candidates won,
[00:55:54] states that were considered Republican strongholds, including
[00:55:57] South Carolina, Iowa and especially Texas.
