[00:00:00] more or healthier? An egg from Israel is both
[00:00:03] tasty and healthy. We, the farmers, ensure a
[00:00:06] continuous supply to all of Israel in routine and in emergencies. And you
[00:00:10] will enjoy the taste and be healthy. An Israeli egg, fresher
[00:00:13] and healthier.
[00:00:15] Tonight on Kan
[00:00:19] News.
[00:00:20] Government or
[00:00:23] elections. I intend to open the second day
[00:00:26] of consultations. The round of consultations with. announced his retirement from the Portuguese national team.
[00:00:31] entry into Syrian territory
[00:01:32] Hello and good evening, the talks continue
[00:01:48] at this hour at the President's Residence as representatives of the party
[00:01:52] are currently submitting their recommendation and later
[00:01:56] this evening representatives are also expected to arrive. The Joint List
[00:01:59] announced this evening that it also recommends Gadi Eizenkot
[00:02:02] to form the government. In doing so, it joined Ra'am,
[00:02:06] the Democrats, Yisrael Beiteinu and Together.
[00:02:09] Jewish Power, Religious Zionism, Zehut
[00:02:12] and Shas, recommended Netanyahu. United Torah
[00:02:15] Judaism announced that it will not recommend any
[00:02:18] candidate. And while Israel is discussing the future
[00:02:21] of the government and the state,
[00:02:24] that this the world is watching and examining and also
[00:02:26] conveying messages, we. You hear from a Saudi official
[00:02:34] that as long as Netanyahu is in the picture, there is nothing
[00:02:37] to talk about. Yes, Tal, so indeed,
[00:02:41] a Saudi official who is involved
[00:02:44] in this matter tells me this evening that as long as Netanyahu is in power
[00:02:47] with the current government, normalization is simply
[00:02:51] not on the table, as that Saudi official tells me. As I said,
[00:02:54] the Saudis have not yet officially commented. Now I need to say the following.
[00:02:58] According to that Saudi official, Netanyahu only wants to cause problems
[00:03:02] from the kingdom, he doesn't want peace but escalation, he
[00:03:06] explains that the Saudis have no personal problem
[00:03:09] with Netanyahu, but his policy does not allow any
[00:03:12] progress in relations between the countries. Saudi Arabia wants peace, wants negotiations,
[00:03:16] wants the Israeli-Palestinian issue to be resolved on the basis of a two-state
[00:03:19] solution, but Netanyahu is not there, and Tal, regarding who might
[00:03:23] replace him, that Saudi official tells me, and this is also interesting,
[00:03:26] Saudi Arabia has no interest in the identity of the Prime Minister in Israel, this is an internal
[00:03:30] Israeli matter. What is important from our perspective is that whoever it may be, he
[00:03:33] will want to conduct negotiations and solve the problems that have been ongoing for 70 years with
[00:03:37] the Palestinians, and in this context we will say that as we have already published
[00:03:40] in the past, that Saudi official tells me that in Saudi Arabia they are finding it difficult to link
[00:03:44] normalization with Israel to the Palestinian issue and not to other issues,
[00:03:48] for example Israeli aid to Saudi Arabia in the current fighting
[00:03:51] against the Houthis in Yemen. Thank you very much, Roi, you are of course staying with us
[00:03:55] for more, and as I said, all this is happening as the talks continue
[00:03:58] at the President's Residence. Shahar Glick, our correspondent, we turn to you
[00:04:02] who is there this evening. Shahar, so far no
[00:04:05] surprises and the President continues to still examine the question
[00:04:09] of unity.
[00:04:12] That's right, Tal. So we actually have one last faction left. The Likud
[00:04:16] party will arrive here later this hour. Now representatives of
[00:04:19] are here, and the situation is clear: 46
[00:04:23] recommend Netanyahu, 67 recommend Eizenkot. We all know to whom
[00:04:27] the president is expected to entrust the mandate. He has a week to do it.
[00:04:31] It's likely he'll do it even sooner, but during this day, we hear President
[00:04:34] Herzog with his questions also trying to direct the people
[00:04:38] in front of him towards the government, and it's not hard to read between the lines what he
[00:04:42] wants. It seems the president wants unity, because what he highlights
[00:04:45] in the questions he asks the representatives is how problematic the situation
[00:04:49] is, how at the end the parties' declarations contradict each
[00:04:53] other, how challenging it will be for Lieberman to sit with the support
[00:04:57] of the Arab parties or for the ultra-Orthodox parties to sit with whom and so on.
[00:05:00] Therefore, it is reasonable to assume that after this stage, when the president gives the mandate, there are
[00:05:04] 28 days for Gadi Eizenkot, and if he doesn't succeed, that is
[00:05:07] the stage where an extension is requested. At the President's Residence, they are considering, we know, not to give
[00:05:11] that extension. It is very likely that this is what will happen because Herzog does not want to continue
[00:05:15] to flounder in the current situation, he wants to push everyone as quickly as possible
[00:05:18] to a stable government. If Gadi succeeds, we will do it with him, if he does not
[00:05:22] succeed, we will try to really push for unity in this sense as
[00:05:25] quickly as possible. And in the meantime, the change bloc is preparing for what happens one
[00:05:29] step before that. Today, all the opposition factions are signing
[00:05:32] a demand to convene the Knesset to vote on a new Knesset Speaker
[00:05:36] as early as next week. So Knesset Speaker Amir Ohana says, I will not
[00:05:40] cling to the horns of the altar. The Likud is still. Whether to even put forward
[00:05:43] their own candidate against the candidate that the opposition parties will bring,
[00:05:47] or to let them do it alone and allegedly show the public
[00:05:50] outside their cooperation with the Arab parties. The Likud
[00:05:54] has not yet made a decision. Shahar, thank you very much. At this stage, you continue to update
[00:05:58] us on developments there this evening at the President's Residence, and more about
[00:06:02] the talks and recommendations at the President's residence in Shahar
[00:06:05] Glick's report. We recommended Ben
[00:06:08] Gantz. The recommendations phase is
[00:06:14] nearing its end, with the last remaining parties today. We are at war against
[00:06:18] Hamas, a criminal terrorist organization, an enemy,
[00:06:21] unequivocally. Do you see Hamas as a terrorist organization? Even before
[00:06:25] we became Ra'am, a political party that strives for integration
[00:06:29] and citizenship, we were an Islamic movement. You can't always
[00:06:33] put us to this test, the test of loyalty,
[00:06:36] the test of upholding the law, the dignity of people,
[00:06:40] life itself, the security
[00:06:43] of people, you can't. The President went one step further this time with piercing questions
[00:06:47] and challenged everyone who entered the room with twists and turns. All the debate about
[00:06:51] "we will die and not be drafted." This is a very deep issue. The count of the House
[00:06:54] of Israel, the brave ones went out to war. This is a sentence we did
[00:06:58] not say. And what do you say about it? I also know that there was a party
[00:07:02] that tried to raise it. From our lives and the length of our days, that the Torah
[00:07:05] revives us, and extends our days. All were forced
[00:07:09] to deal with their most difficult issues.
[00:07:12] That's right.
[00:07:16] In the South it was not possible to pass. 67 seats, this
[00:07:20] means a clear
[00:07:22] desire of the majority of the citizens of the State of Israel
[00:07:26] for a different government. Without any
[00:07:29] of the elements that today make up this government. It could be
[00:07:32] that many of the Arabs of Israel went out
[00:07:36] to vote in response to the behavior of your party and your
[00:07:39] leader? I think that is.
[00:07:44] And if there is a significant security campaign,
[00:07:47] Iran, Hamas, things like that, do you leave,
[00:07:51] do you stop your support, how will that be? We will make
[00:07:54] strategic decisions, the public did not choose
[00:07:57] us to bring Netanyahu and bring him back.
[00:08:01] Faction after faction, Knesset representatives entered, some of them only decided at the last
[00:08:04] minute on whom to recommend? The Joint List in 1,
[00:08:06] with all its components, decided
[00:08:09] to recommend. We came today
[00:08:15] to present to you our recommendation to task
[00:08:18] Gadi Eisenkot with forming the government. We
[00:08:22] will recommend Gadi Eisenkot for the position of Prime Minister
[00:08:26] of Israel. Mr. President, first of all, we
[00:08:29] recommend Benjamin
[00:08:32] Netanyahu, our Prime Minister, the leader of the national camp, for the premiership. We come
[00:08:36] with a decision to recommend Gadi Eisenkot
[00:08:39] to form the new
[00:08:43] government. Members of the Council of Torah Sages instructed us not to recommend
[00:08:46] a candidate for Prime Minister at this stage. The CEO of the Democratic
[00:08:49] Party tweeted criticism of Herzog's questions and claimed
[00:08:53] that he voted for the Likud. At the President's Residence they did not remain silent. I will only
[00:08:57] say that I understand that while we are sitting here,
[00:09:01] the CEO of your party tweeted that the President voted for Likud.
[00:09:04] Yesterday they accused him of being pro-Arab. Today he voted
[00:09:08] Likud. The President's role is to care for all the people
[00:09:11] of Israel. In his role as President, he said it here, to ask
[00:09:14] difficult questions and receive clear answers. At this hour, the last representatives
[00:09:18] of Yisrael Beitenu and the Likud party, the balance of power will be 67
[00:09:22] for Eisenkot against 46 for Netanyahu. The President has until Tuesday
[00:09:25] to officially announce whom he will entrust with the mandate, but with high probability he
[00:09:29] will entrust it to Eisenkot much earlier.
[00:09:31] Yes, so after the round of recommendations today, Herzog is expected to entrust the mandate
[00:09:35] to Eisenkot. Our correspondent Yaara Shapira, hello Yaara, and you also join
[00:09:39] this report that this purchase will happen earlier
[00:09:43] than usual. Yes, Herzog is expected to expedite the entrustment of the mandate to Eisenkot,
[00:09:46] he can, he has until Wednesday, he can,
[00:09:50] theoretically, if there is no need for further deliberation, to entrust the mandate
[00:09:53] even earlier, and indeed given the majority of recommenders for
[00:09:56] Eisenkot, the President is expected to entrust him with the mandate as early as the beginning
[00:10:00] of next week, probably even before the swearing-in of the Knesset. Counter-intuitively,
[00:10:04] this is bad for the change bloc. This is bad for the change bloc,
[00:10:08] because from the moment the mandate is given, the days are already counting
[00:10:11] and in the meantime they have not yet. Replaced the Knesset Speaker, so they cannot take
[00:10:15] action. The moment Gadi Eisenkot's
[00:10:18] mandate expires, they will have to lose control
[00:10:21] of the Arrangements Committee that sets the Knesset's agenda. Therefore,
[00:10:25] if they want to utilize every day for parliamentary activity, they would actually
[00:10:29] be happy with 28 (days), assuming there's no extension of another
[00:10:32] 4 days, and the president is seriously considering not extending it in order to pressure
[00:10:36] the parties to reach compromises, so it's not certain they are happy
[00:10:39] about this advancement, but that is how it appears it will be done
[00:10:43] at the President's Residence. Yaara, thank you very much. Shas party was one
[00:10:46] of those who recommended Netanyahu. Daniel Grosby, hello
[00:10:50] Daniel, you are bringing the first statement from Aryeh Deri regarding the composition
[00:10:54] of the government. For the first time after the defeat in the elections, as I said,
[00:10:57] from 11 seats to six, Aryeh Deri says today in an interview
[00:11:01] with Yodeh Aler in a Haredi news program called
[00:11:04] Zirat HaHadashot (The News Arena), he says there that Shas recommended
[00:11:08] Netanyahu so that, pay attention, he will head a broad
[00:11:11] government. This is a way of saying in other words, a unity
[00:11:15] government of some kind or something close to it. Let's hear
[00:11:18] what he said.
[00:11:20] You know, as someone who really maintained the religious bloc, you continue on that
[00:11:24] path. We will maintain the religious bloc for the honor of the Torah and also to preserve
[00:11:28] tradition. What the Council of Torah Sages instructed us, they instructed
[00:11:31] our representatives, to recommend Netanyahu
[00:11:35] to head a broad government. Yes,
[00:11:38] and if we pay attention to whom this is directed, at the end, as I said, this is a nice line,
[00:11:42] people usually listen to it on kosher phones, very popular
[00:11:46] in the ultra-Orthodox public, and this is an attempt again to authorize. We saw the Yahadut
[00:11:49] HaTorah distancing itself from Netanyahu, also Deri, who again remained with
[00:11:53] Netanyahu still, but nevertheless says there might be an option here for something
[00:11:57] more than that, this is intended for ultra-Orthodox ears,
[00:12:00] and as I said, this brings this angle that perhaps this is the direction
[00:12:03] they are going. Thank you, Daniel, and Raka, the battle over recruitment,
[00:12:06] Liel Keiser, hello Liel, you are reporting that in the coming
[00:12:10] days, a significant measure to prevent
[00:12:13] funding for draft evaders will come into effect. That's right,
[00:12:17] Tali, actually hundreds of Haredi Yeshivas, organizations
[00:12:21] that group Haredi Yeshivas, will lose in the coming days,
[00:12:24] within a week or two, the tax benefits they enjoy
[00:12:27] worth tens of millions of shekels. Let's remember, the move actually started
[00:12:31] about four months ago. The Tax Authority approached
[00:12:34] about a thousand Haredi organizations, those that enjoy
[00:12:38] tax benefits that allow those who donate to them to receive
[00:12:41] tax exemption, which naturally leads to an increase in donations to them
[00:12:44] and requires them to declare whether draft evaders study in them, based
[00:12:48] on the assumption that an entity that subsidizes draft evaders cannot enjoy
[00:12:52] tax benefits from the State of Israel when it is ostensibly trying with the other hand.
[00:12:55] To incentivize enlistment, the Tax Authority approaches about a thousand Haredi
[00:12:58] yeshivas, but according to the information we have received throughout those
[00:13:02] four months and until the deadline three
[00:13:05] weeks ago, more than almost 70% of these
[00:13:09] yeshivas, about 650 yeshivas, simply refrained from responding to the Tax
[00:13:13] Authority's request. The assumption is that they are not just ignoring
[00:13:17] the Tax Authority, but it is clear to them that if they submit their student lists
[00:13:21] to the Tax Authority, it will be clear that there are many draft dodgers among them, people
[00:13:24] who have not regulated their status with the State
[00:13:28] of Israel, and therefore these yeshivas, these organizations
[00:13:31] are expected to have their tax benefits revoked
[00:13:35] in the coming days. The implication is tens of millions of shekels a year.
[00:13:38] We saw the Haredi parties fight very hard against this
[00:13:42] issue. You know, alongside other measures and things, this sanction
[00:13:45] bothered them greatly because it is worth a lot of money, and as we
[00:13:49] are reporting this evening, hundreds of yeshivas will lose this benefit
[00:13:52] in the coming days. 650 yeshivas.
[00:13:57] Thank you very much, Liel, thank you. And more on the negotiations to form
[00:14:00] the government, and those calling for a unity government in Yaara
[00:14:04] Shapira's report. My esteemed colleagues,
[00:14:07] please. The mandate has not yet been given to Eisenkot to form
[00:14:11] a government, but in the political system, it is already estimated that this is the likely
[00:14:14] direction, and they are acting accordingly. The Likud is calling on Eisenkot to turn
[00:14:18] to negotiations with them instead. I think the government should be
[00:14:21] a broad national government, with as many participants as possible at the helm. to the possibility
[00:14:34] of forming a minority government, among other things using the argument
[00:14:37] that the representatives of the Arab public were elected due to Sarah's
[00:14:41] intervention. We ask
[00:14:43] the President to also now take care of Israeli
[00:14:47] democracy and allow the Shin Bet and the police to allow
[00:14:50] them to investigate this matter to its conclusion. And in any case, it will not be
[00:14:54] easy to form a government in this way. Lieberman said
[00:14:58] he would not allow it, and even in the Joint List, they will not necessarily
[00:15:01] agree on a shared path. We do not see him as someone
[00:15:05] who can advance the political project that we
[00:15:09] are interested in advancing. We see that there is a distance between us, we
[00:15:12] say, he knows he is distant from us, we know that we
[00:15:15] are distant from him and his policy. Is
[00:15:19] that it? We have a promise to the voters, and therefore
[00:15:22] in the meantime, they are focusing on a possible project: replacing the Knesset
[00:15:26] Speaker. The current Speaker, Ohana, announced in the meantime
[00:15:30] that the customary time for electing a Knesset Speaker is the time of forming
[00:15:33] the government, with the exception that a letter bearing
[00:15:36] the signatures of at least 61 Knesset members is submitted.
[00:15:40] We will do everything to ensure that these are Ohana's
[00:15:43] last days as Knesset Speaker
[00:15:46] of Israel. Just as it was not clear that we would all recommend the same
[00:15:50] candidate, and behold, 67 recommend
[00:15:53] Eisenkot. By Monday, there will be one agreed-upon
[00:15:56] candidate for the change bloc and a new Knesset
[00:16:00] Speaker. And the change bloc is already working on that. If everything goes
[00:16:03] as planned, Ohana can start packing his bags.
[00:16:09] And after the recommendations, what will be the next step for the Arab parties? Hello,
[00:16:13] Nasreen Ibrahim Abu Gosh. So what are the plans? That's a big
[00:16:17] question. And now is the real test for the Arab
[00:16:20] parties with 19 mandates after they recommended
[00:16:23] Eisenkot, so where to now? Will they receive
[00:16:26] some kind of compensation after they voted for Eisenkot? Let's start
[00:16:30] with the Joint List, which has already set boundaries
[00:16:33] for cooperation. They know they are
[00:16:36] not entering the coalition, but indeed they
[00:16:39] will provide some strength and will
[00:16:43] strengthen the government from afar. From my questions
[00:16:46] to party officials, I asked them about
[00:16:50] compensation, with all the meetings that took place
[00:16:53] before, and they didn't answer, they kept silent,
[00:16:56] probably there is some compensation that will all be revealed
[00:16:59] after if Eisenkot succeeds in forming an alternative
[00:17:03] government. If we talk about Ra'am, then of course Mansour Abbas always chooses
[00:17:06] a completely different approach. He is so eager
[00:17:10] for Eisenkot to hurry and form a government without
[00:17:14] even coalition conditions, and then
[00:17:17] everything will work out. So currently, the big question is,
[00:17:21] where to now? We also saw today Mansour Abbas dealing
[00:17:25] with a question he has dealt with not for the first time, and not
[00:17:28] only him. And still they cannot answer
[00:17:32] yes or no to the question that interests all of Israeli society, one cannot ignore
[00:17:36] it, why is there no... clear answer about
[00:17:39] Hamas. This question, I asked the
[00:17:42] senior officials in the Arab parties, they feel
[00:17:45] that this is always the question that the media constantly
[00:17:49] brings up as a condition
[00:17:52] for their entry into politics or for loyalty. They always feel
[00:17:56] that we are on trial.
[00:18:00] And that's the question, actually, if you answer that Hamas
[00:18:03] is an organization and you say it's an organization, then you are marked with a V
[00:18:07] and. The Joint List and also Ra'am, I don't think they
[00:18:10] are afraid or hesitant to answer that question, but they refrain because they
[00:18:14] know that the media and also politicians pose this question
[00:18:17] specifically even after the elections and after
[00:18:20] the high voter turnout in the Arab
[00:18:24] society as an obstacle for the Arab parties,
[00:18:28] and here they say no, if this question is also posed
[00:18:31] to Jewish parties, in one way or another,
[00:18:35] understanding. In the parties and with their
[00:18:39] representatives, that this is a question that the Israeli public
[00:18:43] asks itself, a question of whether indeed one can trust
[00:18:46] the Arab parties on a question that lies at the core
[00:18:49] of the concerns of the Israeli Jewish public? I
[00:18:53] think that what we see from the Arab
[00:18:56] parties, without them even answering that question, because
[00:18:59] it is Israeli law that Hamas is a terrorist organization and it is not a question
[00:19:03] at all, and the Arab parties are politicians who respect
[00:19:07] the laws in Israel. Next
[00:19:10] week they will even swear allegiance to the State of Israel, so
[00:19:14] I don't think that question should be asked at all,
[00:19:17] as long as it is also a law enacted within the State
[00:19:21] of Israel, but unequivocally it is a complex
[00:19:24] question, I everyone knows that the Israeli public
[00:19:27] expects or awaits an answer
[00:19:31] from the Arab parties, but as long as the media poses it
[00:19:34] to the parties. Thank you very much,
[00:19:39] the routine multi-arena situation assessment discussion
[00:19:42] that was supposed to take place was canceled. Gili Cohen, we
[00:19:45] turn to you, Gili, with the details on
[00:19:47] this matter.
[00:19:50] Yes, Tali, hello. This story of the discussion, the multi-arena
[00:19:53] situation assessment discussion that takes place every week
[00:19:57] under the Prime Minister's authority, perhaps indicates what is happening
[00:20:00] behind the scenes, and we will bring the details as we
[00:20:03] know them. Uh, yesterday this discussion was supposed to take place, uh,
[00:20:07] a routine discussion. It was postponed, postponed to today, and today
[00:20:10] the participants of the discussion received a notification that it was canceled.
[00:20:13] No reason was given, except that this is a discussion that happens almost every
[00:20:17] week, and relates to a variety
[00:20:20] of sectors. Certainly at this time, when there is still
[00:20:24] a state of alert regarding the Iranian issue,
[00:20:27] and we are after the midterm elections in the United
[00:20:30] States, this has implications, even the cancellation
[00:20:33] of this discussion. As mentioned, no reason was given.
[00:20:37] At least from what I know, to the participants of the discussion
[00:20:40] who are raising all kinds of questions as to why this discussion
[00:20:44] was postponed? So let's say or canceled, at least for now, let's say
[00:20:48] that we contacted the Prime Minister's office regarding.
[00:20:50] Why the discussion was canceled? So far no
[00:20:53] response has been received from the Prime Minister's office on this
[00:20:56] matter. Gili, thank you very much. In the United States, the counting
[00:21:00] of votes in the midterm elections is still ongoing,
[00:21:02] and the Democrats estimate that by its end, their power
[00:21:05] in Congress will grow even more. In the meantime, both sides can only
[00:21:09] agree on one thing. The war in Iran is
[00:21:12] the cause of the United States' statements. And relations with
[00:21:15] Israel are a political burden. Our correspondent in Washington, Nathan
[00:21:19] Guttman. The situation after the elections
[00:21:22] looks less optimistic
[00:21:24] for Israel.
[00:21:27] Perhaps to recover from the blow his party suffered in the elections,
[00:21:31] President Trump flees to his favorite place, the renovation work at the White
[00:21:35] House.
[00:21:42] The renovations are progressing well, but Trump struggled to advance his agenda
[00:21:45] in the next two years.
[00:21:48] close to an extinction level.
[00:25:34] The bottom line for the Israeli government is not simple, it will face
[00:25:37] a strange coalition of Republicans in key positions who want
[00:25:41] to block the war and see relations with Israel as a burden,
[00:25:44] and Democrats in Congress who think Israel is morally flawed and therefore
[00:25:48] should be distanced from.
[00:25:52] It seems Israel needs to strategically re-evaluate in so many
[00:25:55] areas. Nathan Guttman, we continue with you. Good evening, Nathan. In the Trump
[00:25:59] administration, there is already talk of resignations and dismissals. The failure in the elections,
[00:26:03] but President Trump rushes, meaning the pressure is mounting, but he
[00:26:07] rushes.
[00:26:10] Yes, Tali, meanwhile Trump stands behind his administration officials, but
[00:26:13] in Washington there is a growing recognition that the war
[00:26:16] in Iran is a political burden and it is what caused
[00:26:20] the Republicans' failure, and therefore there is a lot of buzz
[00:26:23] on the Republican side. At the White House they are aware that there are pressures
[00:26:27] on President Trump to fire Secretary of Defense Pete Gastat, who
[00:26:31] is identified more than anyone with the failure of the campaign against Iran, which has been going on
[00:26:35] for nine months and there is no end in sight. Trump meanwhile stands
[00:26:38] behind Gastat. There is also talk of senior generals involved
[00:26:42] in managing the war being fired or replaced in their
[00:26:46] positions. And there is also a second side, those who want to distance themselves from their desires,
[00:26:50] especially those who consider themselves possible candidates
[00:26:52] in 2028. We saw Vice President Jay Dines actually
[00:26:56] saying in the most public way, the policy of this administration does
[00:27:00] not represent me. And there is also talk that Marco Rubio
[00:27:03] may resign sometime soon just to distance
[00:27:07] himself from the war and this administration towards
[00:27:10] a future run. Amidst all this political buzz, one also needs
[00:27:14] to prepare for war. President Trump promised to end it soon,
[00:27:17] the moment of decision is approaching, an agreement or war,
[00:27:21] and the fact that war is not popular and not politically
[00:27:24] profitable, will certainly be part of his considerations. Nathan,
[00:27:27] thank you very much, and all this situation does not do
[00:27:31] well for the world's stock markets, the stock market for stocks declined this evening with sharp
[00:27:35] price drops. We return to you on this matter, Liel. Yes, Nathan
[00:27:38] said, you know that the war is not good politically for Trump, first
[00:27:42] of all, also not good economically, and against this background, we also see
[00:27:45] sharp declines in the US stock market today, with concerns about rising interest rates
[00:27:49] there due to rising fuel prices and as a result, among other things,
[00:27:53] due to this issue, very, very sharp price drops in the Tel Aviv stock
[00:27:56] market today. Tel Aviv 35 drops
[00:27:59] by 3% and seven tenths. Tel Aviv 125
[00:28:02] dropped by almost 3 and a half percent, and in general,
[00:28:06] when we look at what has been happening here in the last ten days since election
[00:28:09] day, we see that both leading indices of our stock market,
[00:28:13] each of them has fallen by more than 9%, which is a dramatic
[00:28:17] plunge in 10 days,
[00:28:20] profits of months that simply were erased
[00:28:23] in one fell swoop of a perfect storm, if you will, on the one hand, political
[00:28:26] instability here with us and an understanding that it might be that we
[00:28:29] are again. A release of election rounds or the formation of
[00:28:33] an unstable government, also that statement by President
[00:28:37] Trump that passed here in the stream of events, but a dramatic statement
[00:28:41] for our economy, and the fog around it has not yet cleared, what is the meaning
[00:28:44] of that statement by Trump, that he is stopping security aid
[00:28:48] to Israel, mix that with what is happening in the United States, and behold
[00:28:51] the investors in Tel Aviv are getting
[00:28:55] a good example of the possibilities
[00:28:59] inherent in this political chaos. Absolutely, Liel, thank you very much again.
[00:29:02] Thank you. In the name of Europe, fighter jets were scrambled,
[00:29:06] airports were closed and thousands were removed from flights.
[00:29:09] All because of false reports of bombs on commercial
[00:29:13] aircraft, and what looks like a coordinated and malicious wave.
[00:29:16] Who is behind the method that paralyzes fleets
[00:29:20] of aircraft with the push of a button and how much does it cost
[00:29:22] the global aviation industry? Itamar Weissman with
[00:29:26] the details. A simple, dry email notification
[00:29:29] brings an entire continent to a halt. The flights that took off for Rome today completed their flight
[00:29:32] at a military base in Normandy, escorted by fighter jets, and the reason was not
[00:29:36] an attempted hijacking or a suspicious suitcase, but fear of a ticking bomb.
[00:29:40] Allegedly.
[00:29:42] In the air, anonymous alerts
[00:29:48] were sent to airline companies, airports, and local police about bombs
[00:29:52] located in the luggage compartments of planes.
[00:29:55] because this is affecting europe that there could be a
[00:31:45] russian angle. we need to keep in mind though that Iranian
[00:31:49] hybrid warfare is just as active in certain pockets
[00:31:53] of Europe as well. there have been plenty of Iranian cyber
[00:31:56] campaigns around aviation and hacking incidents
[00:31:59] related to to aviation entities, and so we're looking as
[00:32:02] well at that. this is new normality,
[00:32:05] unfortunately, but what to do? we just need to
[00:32:08] understand the reality, not to be afraid, and this is
[00:32:12] exactly what Russia wants. It seems that the hackers who are currently disrupting flights
[00:32:46] in Europe never intended to blow up the plane, but rather to prove that one email can
[00:32:49] disrupt an entire continent, cost millions, and make airlines
[00:32:53] helpless against what appears to be new digital
[00:32:57] terror. Remember Netanyahu's statement about
[00:33:01] sanctions-circumventing crypto economics? That statement
[00:33:05] has probably been left behind, but the fear of sanctions from the world
[00:33:08] is still tangible. This danger is particularly troubling after the midterm
[00:33:12] elections. The United States now has legislative bodies much less
[00:33:16] friendly to Israel. Shaul Amsterdamski with everything that needs
[00:33:19] to be taken into account. Forget the elections for a moment. In a country
[00:33:23] where things happen at such a crazy pace, it's quite amazing that this clip
[00:33:26] was aired only two weeks ago. One needs to understand that there can be sanctions,
[00:33:30] and for banking sanctions, you need to organize an circumventing economy,
[00:33:33] and you know what it is? You know what these cryptocurrencies are that circumvent
[00:33:36] it, and I'm saying this about that too. A second before the elections, Prime Minister Netanyahu warned
[00:33:40] of a wave of sanctions on Israeli banks, and the truth
[00:33:44] is that this is a serious threat, especially to the Israeli economy,
[00:33:47] so much so that we thought it would be worth dwelling on it for another moment. Forget for a second all
[00:33:51] the circumventing economy and crypto, we've talked about that enough. Let's talk for a second
[00:33:55] about the sanctions themselves, because this is a big enough and tangible
[00:33:59] threat that will affect all our lives here. So one always comes up,
[00:34:02] let's break it down: who wants to impose these sanctions? Why specifically on
[00:34:06] banks? And what will it do to us? Give me a minute. This threat of sanctions
[00:34:09] is, in my opinion, not a sufficient threat.
[00:34:13] This is about '. There is someone who has their eyes on this ball. The Jewish
[00:34:17] People Policy Institute tracks all these sanctions
[00:34:21] and has done a complete mapping. According to this mapping,
[00:34:23] there are 131 sanctions on Israel from
[00:34:26] 57 countries or entities. Some of them are academic, some
[00:34:30] on specific Israelis, but really not only. The one leading this effort right now is
[00:34:34] Britain. In mid-October, a sanctions regime against companies and contractors
[00:34:37] and financial bodies that finance
[00:34:41] construction in settlements came into effect there. The trigger: a government decision to build 1200 housing
[00:34:45] units in the E1 area, an area that connects Jerusalem to Ma'ale
[00:34:48] Adumim, an area that has been in international political dispute
[00:34:52] for decades. Currently, another 11 Western countries
[00:34:55] are partners in the sanctions circle, from Canada to Sweden. They
[00:34:58] mainly boycott products that come from settlements, but
[00:35:01] Britain is trying to expand this, both the circle of countries
[00:35:05] and the sanctions. It is trying to make it so that it will simply be
[00:35:08] forbidden to do business with Israeli banks,
[00:35:12] and here lies the real big danger: banks. They are like the human
[00:35:16] organ system of every modern economy; without them, there are no loans, no
[00:35:19] businesses, no salaries, no construction, not even in settlements. If
[00:35:22] Britain and other countries declare Israeli banks as outcast, that
[00:35:26] means that foreign banks will not be able to work with them, because then they
[00:35:30] themselves will be exposed to sanctions. An Israeli pharmaceutical factory that wants
[00:35:33] to continue selling its drugs to Germany will not be able to, because
[00:35:37] the German bank will not be willing to transfer the payment. An importer wants
[00:35:40] butter from Holland? The supplier does not work with a bank under sanctions, so there is no
[00:35:44] butter. This is already especially dangerous, because Britain and the European Union are not just
[00:35:48] countries, they are our main trading partners.
[00:35:51] Banking sanctions from them could
[00:35:55] have a very heavy price. Remember the settlers whose accounts Bank Leumi
[00:35:58] froze in 2024? So
[00:36:00] that, just for the whole economy. Already today, Israeli
[00:36:04] academia and culture are boycotted. Recently, Israelis
[00:36:07] who flew to Holland said that at the airport, they rummaged through their
[00:36:10] bags to see if they had brought products from the settlements,
[00:36:14] and come on. That a few
[00:36:22] years ago, one of her whiskies won the title of the best in the world, she lost
[00:36:25] half of her customers because of Israel.
[00:36:28] And this is happening now, before the big wave. To get
[00:36:31] an illustration of what a big wave of sanctions looks like, just
[00:36:34] look at Russia, a superpower that for years
[00:36:38] prepared for war, prepared for sanctions, and yet, in 2022, the West
[00:36:41] froze about 300 billion dollars of Russia's foreign currency reserves that it had set aside.
[00:36:45] Yes, the Russian automotive industry almost completely collapsed by two
[00:36:49] thirds. One of the Russian car manufacturers continued to produce
[00:36:52] cars, but without airbags, there were no parts.
[00:36:55] And Iran, when the sanctions returned in 2018,
[00:36:59] its oil exports shrank to a tenth, and inflation jumped
[00:37:02] from 10% a year to more than 50. And still, both
[00:37:06] survive. How? Mainly because they have oil, and oil
[00:37:10] can be sold on the black market through all sorts of sanction-bypassing routes.
[00:37:13] Israel doesn't have that. We mostly have high-tech,
[00:37:16] and high-tech, well, you can't smuggle it in suitcases. But wait, because that's nothing
[00:37:20] compared to the grand finale, when the United
[00:37:23] States decides to impose sanctions on banks in Israel.
[00:37:26] The United States. It's the real deal in the end. The deep partnership we have
[00:37:30] with it is one of our most strategic assets, but also
[00:37:33] one of our biggest vulnerabilities. Remember during the war
[00:37:37] there was a moment when they didn't transfer ammunition to us and then we were in trouble? So sanctions are
[00:37:41] exactly the same thing, just 100 times worse. Public opinion in the United States towards
[00:37:44] Israel has changed a lot.
[00:37:47] Look, there are many Democratic elected officials
[00:37:50] who have already proposed imposing sanctions on Israel. Understood in the field
[00:37:54] of armaments and academia, which is bad in itself. Now, after
[00:37:58] the midterm elections, an American president can still fend off sanctions if the
[00:38:01] House of Representatives decides to impose them. But in 2028, after the presidential
[00:38:05] elections, a Democratic president will be elected, and if the sentiment
[00:38:08] against Israel remains as it is, then for the first time we
[00:38:12] might discover that our American friends have imposed
[00:38:15] sanctions on Israeli
[00:38:16] banks.
[00:38:22] Emanuel, a possible Democratic candidate for president in the United States,
[00:38:26] has already sharpened his stance. He is in favor of sanctions
[00:38:30] on Israeli banks as well, due to the financing of construction in settlements. And if such a thing
[00:38:33] happens, the engine of our economy, high-tech, will collapse. The big
[00:38:37] American companies operating in Israel and employing tens of thousands of workers,
[00:38:40] from Google to Nvidia, will not be able to continue doing so, because it will not even be possible
[00:38:44] to transfer salaries to their employees. There will be no exits, no
[00:38:48] tax payments to the state, our standard of living will plummet. On
[00:38:51] the way, you can say goodbye to online shopping, goodbye to trips
[00:38:55] abroad. Okay, after we've scared you. None
[00:38:58] of this is going to happen just like that tomorrow morning. Britain
[00:39:01] is indeed making progress. Trump could have stopped it, he chose not to. Never mind.
[00:39:05] Until the presidential elections in the United States, we have another two years. Forget about
[00:39:09] crypto and blockchain, that's nonsense. The Bank of Israel itself said
[00:39:12] that none of that really knows how to deal with financial
[00:39:16] sanctions. There's no way to prepare for sanctions,
[00:39:19] we need to prevent sanctions, which means
[00:39:22] that the Israeli government needs to convey a very clear message to the world, especially
[00:39:26] to the Americans, by the way. We are a sovereign country,
[00:39:29] but we also want to be part of the global game. How
[00:39:33] do you dance this delicate tango? I don't know, I'm just
[00:39:36] a journalist, but I do know who is supposed
[00:39:39] to know, and here I come to the elections that just happened. The party
[00:39:43] leaders are now racking their brains trying to form a government, and it will be difficult, maybe
[00:39:46] even very difficult, maybe it won't even succeed. I don't know. What I do
[00:39:50] know is that these elected officials just asked for our
[00:39:54] vote because they claim to know how to lead this country. Better,
[00:39:57] so let them do it. Dealing with sanctions must be part of
[00:40:01] their plans, because at least for now, this is the biggest threat to the Israeli economy
[00:40:05] in the short term, and in my personal opinion at least, the composition of
[00:40:08] the government will have an impact on the height of the wave,
[00:40:12] for better or worse, whether we like it or not. The Americans have already
[00:40:15] warned that if certain people are in the next
[00:40:18] government, it will be very difficult for them to stop these sanctions. Now,
[00:40:22] we are a sovereign country, we can decide whatever we want,
[00:40:26] we decide for ourselves. Americans, but every
[00:40:29] decision has a price. This hourglass is ticking. We have
[00:40:32] two years, at most, to defuse this bomb. It's time
[00:40:36] to start.
[00:40:46] And next, the Kan News edition. Welcome
[00:40:49] to Midburn, a glimpse into the biggest event in Israel that leaves
[00:40:52] no one indifferent. Shopping
[00:40:55] month also for flights. Here's how to make your next
[00:40:59] vacation cheaper. And also football news, Cristiano
[00:41:03] Ronaldo announced his retirement from the Portuguese national team.
[00:41:20] Two years have passed since the Assad regime fell in Syria. Since then,
[00:41:23] IDF soldiers have been sitting in a security zone beyond
[00:41:26] the fence. On the ground, protests against Israel are starting
[00:41:30] and it seems no one is asking the strategic questions. Head of the
[00:41:33] Arab World desk, Roee Kais, and our correspondent in the North, Rubi
[00:41:37] Hammer, in a special annual project. to the fall of the Syrian dictator.
[00:41:40] לנפילת הרודן הסורי.
[00:41:54] Not, Ruby. Welcome to the Golan Heights. How nice, with you again. How
[00:41:57] wonderful, it's quiet here. But beneath the surface,
[00:42:01] it's bubbling. Absolutely, look, in a few weeks, Ruby, we will
[00:42:04] mark exactly two years since one of the most dramatic events that happened in the region,
[00:42:08] right across the border, the fall of the Assad regime after the civil
[00:42:11] war and the rise to power of the Islamist
[00:42:14] regime of Ahmed Asher al-Jolani, which led to IDF forces
[00:42:18] entering southern Syria right across the border here. The IDF
[00:42:21] today sits in nine outposts beyond the fence, from the Syrian
[00:42:25] Hermon to the Hamat Gader area right here on the other side. And it must
[00:42:29] be said that this deployment of IDF forces in southern Syria
[00:42:32] since the fall of Assad is in fact part of the Israeli security
[00:42:36] concept after the October sitting, meaning the desire
[00:42:39] to prevent, at all costs, any attempt
[00:42:42] at an incursion from Syrian territory into where we are. For about two
[00:42:46] years, soldiers from Division 210 have been building a new engineering barrier on the border between
[00:42:50] Israel and Syria, extending for about 70 kilometers. There is no
[00:42:53] barrier that will prevent infiltration; this barrier
[00:42:56] will delay and give us the time
[00:42:58] to react.
[00:43:02] You know, Roy, this security concept of sitting across the border works
[00:43:06] in Gaza and also in Lebanon, except here.
[00:43:10] Unlike other places, first of all, IDF observations control
[00:43:13] deep into Syrian territory, and the big problem is
[00:43:16] that IDF forces are inside the villages, clashing with
[00:43:20] the civilian population, and this is something that is constantly on the rise. Right, and you're
[00:43:24] mainly talking about the Asturonian population, but there's also another component, another side to the event,
[00:43:27] which is the Druze population, those who are in Jabal al-Druze
[00:43:31] and also in other areas of southern Syria, and in fact there
[00:43:34] they actually see this presence of the IDF as even a
[00:43:38] blessed thing, a kind of protection.
[00:43:56] Firstly, it will be a big blow to Suweida, which is allied with Israel under the covenant of
[00:43:58] blood and life. And we hope
[00:44:04] sacred alliance continues. Any Israeli
[00:44:07] withdrawal in the current and upcoming phase. A few
[00:44:23] months ago, the terrorists of
[00:44:26] the Haira went on a horrific rampage in Suwayda,
[00:44:30] the IDF attacked terrorists. The problematic framing in the Middle
[00:44:33] East, we, by our actions and mainly by our statements, are painting
[00:44:37] an entire population as collaborators. We need to ask
[00:44:40] ourselves why we framed this as help for our Druze brothers and not
[00:44:44] as foiling a terror threat against the State of
[00:44:46] Israel.
[00:44:50] Ruby, let's take a quick step back in time, because I remember
[00:44:53] that when the civil war was present, the IDF had
[00:44:57] what was called the Good Neighbor policy, which was
[00:45:00] responsible for humanitarian aid to people living
[00:45:03] across the border here in southern Syria, which also created a kind
[00:45:07] of revolution in their perception of Israel.
[00:45:19] And today it's hard to call what we're seeing good neighborliness, to our great
[00:45:22] regret. The Good Neighbor operation was essentially designed to maintain
[00:45:26] border security during a period of chaos. It was another divisional
[00:45:29] tool to maintain the security of the Golan Heights. Connections were
[00:45:32] formed that, without going into details, even today
[00:45:36] actually allow for some sort of dialogue with elements on the other
[00:45:40] side. And the IDF's activity today within Syrian territory, is that not something that undermines
[00:45:44] these achievements? Absolutely, in the end there is tactical
[00:45:47] activity with increasing civilian friction,
[00:45:50] more friction than we have today than in Gaza
[00:45:53] and Lebanon. The question needs to be asked whether it is
[00:45:57] serving a strategic policy that, in my understanding, is the removal
[00:46:00] of Turkey, or whether it is actually fueling hatred
[00:46:03] and anger in the Syrian street, serving its
[00:46:06] purpose and bringing Turkey closer to us.
[00:46:10] Yes, so thanks to good neighborliness, we turned from an enemy to a friend, but it seems there's
[00:46:14] again a change in trend. IDF forces are operating within the villages themselves,
[00:46:17] often causing damage to livelihoods, to agriculture,
[00:46:21] images that don't really reach
[00:46:24] us, but images of friction
[00:46:27] and clashes are coming out from there that resemble an intifada,
[00:46:29] absolutely.
[00:46:36] Her field was filled with trees.
[00:46:41] In half an hour, it was gone, because the Israeli occupation
[00:46:44] tanks entered it. Today, a young man from the village of Jamla
[00:46:48] was martyred by occupation bullets. He is one of the [unclear]. The
[00:47:24] in the south practically does not serve
[00:47:27] Israel and alienates Syria.
[00:47:30] Syria, which practically stood against
[00:47:33] Iran, offered a service to the region by expelling
[00:47:36] Iranian militias from Syria. Therefore, the Israeli
[00:47:39] presence practically in the south of the country will not
[00:47:43] provide, meaning, guarantee Israel's security in the long
[00:47:46] term. It will only lead to provoking
[00:47:49] the Syrians and will not encourage the Syrians.
[00:48:02] Ruby, and in fact, the situation created here across the border is that there is a population
[00:48:06] that is both poor and resentful, and also more brainwashed
[00:48:10] due to the increasing friction with IDF forces in southern Syria.
[00:48:14] And this provides fertile ground for those who were expelled from Israel
[00:48:17] two years ago, Iran and Hezbollah, to recruit
[00:48:20] people from here in order to carry out possibly terror activities
[00:48:24] against IDF forces? It doesn't take much for that, and it actually seems that Israel
[00:48:28] is getting bogged down in the Syrian mud there, and now try to withdraw
[00:48:32] the forces. You know, in the Middle East, that will be perceived as weakness, absolutely.
[00:48:35] There have already been several incidents where our forces' activity has been met
[00:48:39] with fire from terrorists on the other side. One must understand, in Syria,
[00:48:43] every house has weapons. Every person held a weapon to protect his
[00:48:46] home, absolutely. The direction right now is a negative
[00:48:50] direction against us. Right now, whoever is here
[00:48:53] are our fighters. 101 paratroopers
[00:48:56] are here. Israel needs to try to strive, in my understanding,
[00:49:00] for a security agreement. On the other side, there is
[00:49:03] a leader with very questionable people behind him. We do
[00:49:07] need to protect our border very strongly, but
[00:49:11] on the other hand, the diplomatic channel must happen. The prices
[00:49:14] we pay every day that we delay are greater, because the price of
[00:49:18] the gate in the international market has risen. It is much stronger
[00:49:21] today than before.
[00:49:22] and a half.
[00:49:30] The Golan Heights is full of such souvenirs from the Yom Kippur War. In fact, a war
[00:49:33] in which the term "conception" was coined. And we are here to try and check if
[00:49:37] we are not falling again into some kind of mental stagnation. Right. We need to ask
[00:49:41] questions, for example, why do we even need to sit in Syria? Where is this going? Until
[00:49:45] when, what is the goal? How do we not get entangled again
[00:49:48] in an 18-year occupation like in Lebanon? Many, many questions.
[00:49:52] Yes. I don't think we can provide the answers here, but at least
[00:49:55] we are raising this issue, so that it doesn't disappear again into some kind of conception.
[00:50:11] Imagine you wake up in the morning and discover that you don't have
[00:50:14] access to your money in the bank. That's what
[00:50:17] happened to millions of customers in Paraguay. One of the largest
[00:50:20] banks in the country collapsed.
[00:51:22] but did not meet capital requirements. All branches were closed, digital
[00:51:26] activity was frozen. Three million customers, almost half
[00:51:30] of the country's population, discovered they could not withdraw their savings.
[00:51:47] But as the details of the collapse become clear, it also becomes clear why
[00:51:50] this is directed specifically at the president. Peña held shares until last year
[00:51:54] in a group connected to the bank's owners. Upon taking office, he also
[00:51:58] appointed one of the bank's senior officials as the governor of the central bank,
[00:52:01] the person supposed to oversee the banking system. Now the governor... And so, within
[00:53:35] a few days, the collapse of one
[00:53:46] bank also led to the downfall of the country's president. But even after
[00:53:50] Peña's resignation, the crisis is far from over. Millions of citizens
[00:53:53] are still waiting for their savings, and the big question is who will take
[00:53:57] responsibility for the collapse that shook all of Paraguay.
[00:53:59] About
[00:54:03] 20 Jewish families.
[00:54:08] In houses secretly purchased and located on state lands, after no Jews had lived there since
[00:54:12] the Oslo Accords, the IDF was surprised by the move and claims that the entry
[00:54:16] into the homes was done without prior coordination and without approval.
[00:54:19] The details in Haim Goldich's report.
[00:54:32] 32 years after the end of the Jewish presence in Jericho.
[00:54:39] Yesterday, in a special operation by the Nachala settlement movement, more than 10 Jewish families moved
[00:54:43] into eight houses purchased on the outskirts of the city. Fix a mezuzah,
[00:54:46] amen. We said, listen, there's going to be something,
[00:54:50] a place where they need you, come live. We said,
[00:54:54] okay, we're available, let's hear it. We're not promising anything, you know, if it's in
[00:54:58] Antarctica, we won't come. There was a secret operation here
[00:55:01] that actually lasted several months of preparation.
[00:55:05] towards entry and implementation of sales transactions
[00:55:09] that were carried out here secretly. We, the families, actually
[00:55:12] didn't know about it in advance. We were told, do you want to be part of something
[00:55:15] big in settlement? We said yes. They said, be ready, we'll update you a day
[00:55:19] and a half before. They told us, we'll send you that morning where?
[00:55:23] And that morning they told us, we're entering Jericho. That's it. The IDF claimed to be completely surprised
[00:55:27] by the move and that they were still checking the status of the land, but in practice, the road
[00:55:31] and the area are secured by three IDF platoons that were diverted to the area.
[00:55:35] It's happening in coordination, we, uh, entered here
[00:55:38] with the council's backing, and in coordination. I feel, I
[00:55:41] saw the army and as far as I'm concerned, the army is protecting me. I think things are happening
[00:55:45] well. The army is the sovereign in the area, and by virtue of that, it
[00:55:48] secures all Jews in Judea and Samaria.
[00:55:51] We made this purchase ourselves,
[00:55:55] and I think the army is happy with what
[00:55:58] we are doing. We have a lot of armed escorts here, like a lot of people
[00:56:02] with weapons, long, short. The army is constantly
[00:56:06] patrolling here. Uh, there's no sense of fear at all. Also, we're
[00:56:08] in Petricho, we're not in the heart of Arab neighbors. There's more
[00:56:12] space here, and there's a safe feeling
[00:56:16] right now. The way to the new neighborhood is done in convoys that leave every
[00:56:19] few hours from the settlement of Mitzpe Yericho, through firing zones and gates that were installed
[00:56:23] in the place and are opened in various strange ways by the activists.
[00:56:27] The physical way here right now is a bit
[00:56:30] stressful. I drove here myself and it was like descents.
[00:56:36] Steep, I had butterflies in my stomach, but as for
[00:56:39] the surrounding population, I don't feel them. I'm here with the kids,
[00:56:43] I'm calm. The houses are located
[00:56:46] in the Ein al-Duyuk neighborhood, which sits mostly in Area C on Israeli
[00:56:49] state lands, and in recent years, the adjacent Hasmonean Palaces Farm
[00:56:53] began to encroach on the area. After the IDF and the Civil Administration demolished several illegal
[00:56:57] structures in the neighborhood and some of the residents left, the activists managed to buy
[00:57:00] eight houses through a circular transaction. We're talking about eight houses that were discovered.
[00:57:05] We are inside Jericho, these are eight houses scattered more or less, some
[00:57:08] are close, some are further away. Uh, we are
[00:57:11] about 20 families here right now occupying the houses. We actually bought
[00:57:15] the houses, uh, with money,
[00:57:19] and therefore they are ours. We were shocked, listen,
[00:57:22] we entered, we were shocked that it was a vacation
[00:57:25] home. It's also exciting to see. Today I went out, I'm in Beit
[00:57:29] Doron and I went out to the other houses to see, to experience,
[00:57:33] and it's really exciting. In some of the houses you can really see the city of Jericho
[00:57:37] and in some of the houses there are orchards,
[00:57:38] swimming pools.
[00:57:42] Exciting and special, but the legal situation is still unclear because
[00:57:46] buying an illegal house, even if it sits on state land, still
[00:57:49] requires confirmation of the legality of the place. The IDF currently
[00:57:53] does not know how to deal with the situation, and in practice, IDF forces are securing the passage
[00:57:56] of convoys that also pass through Area A and between inhabited Palestinian
[00:58:00] homes in Jericho. A day has passed so far without
[00:58:03] unusual incidents. Both the Palestinians and the IDF are trying to understand the magnitude of the event,
[00:58:07] and the activists promise that this is only the beginning. We, in the end,
[00:58:11] we are here until, God willing, permanent families arrive and we will move on to the next
[00:58:14] missions, whether it will be Nablus, whether it will be.
[00:58:21] What would the State of Israel look like in 2026
[00:58:25] without Iron Dome? In the Saturday news, they will mark 20 years
[00:58:29] since the development of this Israeli system. Peleg Natanel sat down for a conversation with
[00:58:32] the original developers of Iron Dome and with those who continue
[00:58:36] to develop it today at Rafael. Here's an excerpt
[00:58:39] from the report we will broadcast in the Saturday news.
[00:58:42] The Iron Dome system tonight intercepted for the first time a Grad
[00:58:46] rocket fired from Gaza towards
[00:58:48] the city of Ashkelon.
[00:58:51] This is a day and a moment that will not be forgotten. We don't know it's going to happen
[00:58:55] in advance. The whole team very much believed that it was
[00:58:58] possible to do this. The world did not believe, because in the history of
[00:59:02] defense industries, a missile world in such a short
[00:59:05] time, with such a small budget, with such a cheap interception cost. No one
[00:59:08] believed that there was even potential to achieve the
[00:59:12] achievement that then seemed
[00:59:13] imaginary.
[00:59:16] And it happened on a day when we had a team
[00:59:20] building evening. We were at karting, and I suddenly
[00:59:23] get a call from a friend who has a soldier
[00:59:26] friend in one of the batteries and he
[00:59:29] said: One-zero for Iron
[00:59:31] Dome.
[00:59:35] That's how we found out, a few seconds really after the first
[00:59:39] interception, there was a very big celebration and very great
[00:59:42] excitement.
[00:59:48] Behind this success of Rafael are the engineers of Iron
[00:59:52] Dome. This week we met the founding generation, who have been there
[00:59:55] since the first development, with the younger generation who are continuing
[00:59:59] Where are we going? The foundations
[01:00:02] were laid 15 years ago, and since then
[01:00:06] I really think what this system is doing today, if they had asked the company
[01:00:10] 15 years ago, it would have seemed imaginary to them, and I think with the same
[01:00:13] logic, our mission, of this generation, is
[01:00:17] to take this system and try to advance it another 15 years
[01:00:21] forward and stretch its boundaries to places that, if in the past
[01:00:24] what is now imaginary, then in the future it will also seem imaginary
[01:00:28] to those who are sitting
[01:00:29] here now.
[01:00:32] What happens when violence comes closest to home?
[01:00:36] Residents of a building in Holon claim that one of the neighboring families
[01:00:40] is making their lives miserable, from causing damage to the building to serious
[01:00:43] threats. Even security cameras did not stop
[01:00:46] the serious actions. The documentation
[01:00:50] and testimonies of the residents in Lori Sela's report.
[01:00:52] You left me outside the door a state summons from a few... this is not a state
[01:00:55] summons. Curses, harassment, and threats
[01:00:59] of murder. The lives of the residents of this building in Holon have become a daily
[01:01:02] nightmare. We are experiencing a continuous
[01:01:05] nightmare for almost a year,
[01:01:08] soon. By one family that is imposing complete
[01:01:12] terror on an entire neighborhood. Three of the families claim that the fourth is
[01:01:15] solely responsible. For what? For what not? From throwing a cup of coffee at
[01:01:19] a neighbor going down the stairs?
[01:01:23] To claims of serious harassment and threats of rape. Your mother?
[01:01:26] שלך?
[01:01:30] But the cameras didn't stop them, on the contrary. Here you can see
[01:01:33] young people and teenagers, some of them masked, coming out of the door and making
[01:01:36] obscene gestures at the camera. And that's the gentle part.
[01:01:40] Later, whoever came out of the apartment went straight to the lens, to make sure they were seen
[01:01:43] very well and made throat-slitting gestures with their hands.
[01:01:47] When the father of the family walked up the path to the building, he suddenly got fed up and broke
[01:01:51] one of
[01:01:51] the cameras.
[01:01:57] In another incident, the same young man went down the stairs with an iron crowbar and hit
[01:02:00] his neighbors' electricity cabinet, an elderly and sick couple,
[01:02:04] and even damaged it and cut cables.
[01:02:07] Very, very explicit and direct
[01:02:09] threats of death. No problem, I'll kill you, tell
[01:02:13] them in the message that you are rabbis. After your
[01:02:16] friend died today. We experienced sexual harassment from
[01:02:20] one of the family members there who actually
[01:02:24] decided to pull out his penis and say "come take it, come
[01:02:27] take it."
[01:02:32] This week, another confrontation occurred when animal rights activists protested
[01:02:35] outside the building following videos and claims that he abused cats
[01:02:39] and that his wife sprayed K-300 on their dog. We're not moving
[01:02:43] from here, you're playing innocent, I didn't understand
[01:02:46] the water. You're only a hero to the helpless. He was arrested,
[01:02:49] but the court decided there was no reasonable suspicion of abuse and the suspicion of threats
[01:02:53] and possession of weapons was not at a high level and released him under restrictive
[01:02:57] conditions. Even right when we were at the scene itself, he was
[01:03:00] caught kicking his neighbors'
[01:03:01] garden fence.
[01:03:07] He, for his part, claims that all the incidents occurred during a period of psychotic attack
[01:03:11] for which he was hospitalized. And anyway, Sapir and her family are the ones
[01:03:15] who caused him harm and damaged the memory of his son who died in a traffic accident. My son
[01:03:18] on the floor? Look at that, look at that, it's also
[01:03:21] them. They claim I'm the criminal and I'm scary.
[01:03:25] Look at the hole they made here. I paid for everything I did in life, brother, 30
[01:03:29] years. 12 years I've been on a path, brother, they want to bring me back to the
[01:03:33] path, they'll get it, they'll
[01:03:35] get it.
[01:03:39] My father's, and it says rapist and fat. The argument we agreed
[01:03:43] to again escalated into curses and high tones. What's your
[01:03:46] name? Don't come near, from behind, what's your name? What's your name? You said
[01:03:50] you'd kill my cat. And mom, I didn't
[01:03:52] say that.
[01:03:55] The children.
[01:04:00] The police received a dismissive attitude, like in this conversation with the acting commander
[01:04:03] of the Holon station. The station is not
[01:04:06] obligated to tell you what's happening, and I don't work
[01:04:10] that question for you, and you are confused. If you
[01:04:13] continue to harass, eventually eventually
[01:04:17] you, you are complaining about everyone, you want me to
[01:04:21] give him so the apartment is empty there, what do you want? Calls to the
[01:04:24] 100 emergency line that we are being attacked
[01:04:27] and the police are not arriving. We understand that if nothing
[01:04:31] extreme is done now, the next murder
[01:04:34] will be at this address. The police stated in response, contrary to what is claimed,
[01:04:37] the Israel Police is acting decisively and continuously, and indictments have been filed
[01:04:41] in the ongoing conflict between the neighbors. Since the beginning of the conflict, dozens of investigation
[01:04:45] files have been opened due to mutual complaints of violence, threats, and violation of
[01:04:49] court orders. Alongside enforcement actions, station commanders in the district
[01:04:52] held meetings and conversations with family members, with the aim of responding
[01:04:55] to their requests and conveying that they must act according to
[01:04:57] the law.
[01:05:00] Something else now. Every year it happens: thousands of
[01:05:04] people disconnect from daily life, flock
[01:05:07] in convoys to the desert and build a temporary
[01:05:10] city of colorful exhibits, parties
[01:05:13] and tents, in the middle of nowhere. It comes to life for one
[01:05:17] week and disappears as if it never was. Midburn
[01:05:20] 2026 is taking place right now, and Itamar Meiri
[01:05:24] got a rare glimpse into Behind the scenes of an event
[01:05:27] that most of us don't really know. A report by Roni
[01:05:31] Efrati. When did you arrive
[01:05:34] here? In the morning. Six in the morning and the gates
[01:05:37] open when? Two. Two. Yes. So until
[01:05:40] then. Until then, buildings here. They pass the
[01:05:44] time. There are cars here, there are
[01:05:47] loudspeakers. What's
[01:05:49] the problem?
[01:05:54] Early morning at the foot of Har Tzin, as
[01:05:57] far as possible from any settlement in the country. Soon thousands
[01:06:01] and wait patiently
[01:06:04] for the moment when the unique desert city
[01:06:08] comes to life. Now the gates of the city, the gates of the city,
[01:06:11] the gates of the city, the craziest city in the world. From the moment
[01:06:15] you enter, everything that happens from now on is without
[01:06:18] money. People will dress you, feed you, entertain you,
[01:06:22] pamper you, take care of you. Everyone in the city
[01:06:26] wants to give you something. Where do you want to take me?
[01:06:30] Uh, let's go see the effigy, come on,
[01:06:32] effigy, you see him trying there at height.
[01:06:36] The Midburn people, the Burners, are kind
[01:06:39] and welcoming. They only have one request,
[01:06:42] don't call their city a festival. Everything you see
[01:06:46] here, people brought from home. What we call self-reliance,
[01:06:50] food, water, shelter, refuge, everything
[01:06:54] you need to survive in the desert. You're basically saying, there's no responsible adult here to take care of you,
[01:06:58] there's no suggestion box here. Whatever you want to happen,
[01:07:01] do it. You want something to happen, lead, initiate, take
[01:07:05] responsibility. Uh, we landed here almost a month ago,
[01:07:08] three weeks ago. You've been here almost a month and you were home, I was home for a
[01:07:12] night or two, there's no production I think that can
[01:07:15] buy with money what volunteers come and give
[01:07:19] from the passion of their hearts. Midburn is like a kind
[01:07:22] of alternative reality. Alternative reality. That's important
[01:07:26] these days, huh? Yes, we live in a complex reality. Here we
[01:07:30] come at such a moment, we need to be in some alternative reality, even utopian you could
[01:07:34] say. Iran is the chairman of the
[01:07:38] Midburn committee on the ground. He is the mayor in every sense
[01:07:41] of the word. What is needed?
[01:07:45] I'll tell them, okay, put it down for now, put it down.
[01:07:49] I was looking for renewal in my life. I'm
[01:07:52] a former religious person, and I found things here that were very
[01:07:56] strong for me in that they allowed me to bring out sides of myself that I
[01:08:00] didn't know. Hi, hello, how are you? Because in normal
[01:08:03] reality I was more involved in things
[01:08:07] of life, you know, work, business, such things,
[01:08:11] family, children. Suddenly here you go back to being a child, you can
[01:08:14] play, you can be foolish, ancient
[01:08:18] heart, fatigue after weeks of
[01:08:22] preparation, you won't see it on their faces, everyone is smiling, excited,
[01:08:25] like children. I came from the United States specially, I come every year, uh,
[01:08:29] you came specially from America, I came from America. You were
[01:08:33] in Burning Man, I was in Burning Man too, yes, we have nothing to be ashamed of, I understand, here
[01:08:36] there is a magic of people,
[01:08:39] that doesn't exist anywhere else in the world.
[01:08:43] We left the city for the Playa. The Playa is basically 800
[01:08:46] dunams of art gallery. Note,
[01:08:50] the largest art gallery. Art
[01:08:53] installations. Pirate ship. They brought their hearts, in the middle of the desert,
[01:08:56] they do live performances of many
[01:08:58] artists. Oh, there's a cold
[01:09:02] apple here. They put apples here with
[01:09:05] ice packs. You will walk here in the sun,
[01:09:09] you will be tired and weary, you will look for shade.
[01:09:12] Knowledge and you will have a cold apple here then, and then they ask
[01:09:16] you what your sin is. Here it is allowed
[01:09:19] to eat from the tree of knowledge, I understand here it's even necessary, we all eat from the tree of knowledge
[01:09:23] actually.
[01:09:26] We'll see a very special project
[01:09:30] here now of people who are really not so sane
[01:09:32] who built a desert in the middle of the desert. What
[01:09:36] would you most want people to know about Midburn that they don't know, that they
[01:09:40] think differently? I think they think it's a festival
[01:09:43] of naked men and women in the desert, and you're the proof that it's
[01:09:46] not.
[01:09:51] Bank operations, dream balance check, meaning withdrawal,
[01:09:55] fear deposit, love transfer, self-worth clarification,
[01:09:59] it's all nonsense, but nonsense,
[01:10:02] beautiful nonsense. Soon the police force will gather
[01:10:06] and declare that as far as they are concerned, the city can be opened
[01:10:09] to its exiled residents in real life. So hello and welcome
[01:10:13] to the wisdom of bourekas. Until then, there's time
[01:10:17] for the movie. The truth is, we're exhausted. Anyone
[01:10:20] who tells you otherwise is a liar. We've been in the field for four
[01:10:24] days, we're tired to death, but look
[01:10:27] at this thing, do you have something like this here on Channel 11? You
[01:10:31] don't, this is our home, but look how beautiful it is, come see the
[01:10:34] boulevard, would you find something like this
[01:10:37] in the desert, sir? You liked it, I just want
[01:10:40] you to see the most important sign.
[01:10:49] Dali Shapira, I am the owner and CEO of
[01:10:53] the studio, I deal with all the operations and logistics,
[01:10:56] and a mother of three children, and married to this handsome man
[01:10:59] here, Tali and Yaniv run a studio and a school
[01:11:03] for goldsmithing in Tel Aviv. A few years ago they discovered the family
[01:11:07] of Burners and fell in love. We wanted this for many years, a long time,
[01:11:10] we dreamed, we dreamed about it, we said let's start. So first of all you need to get tickets
[01:11:14] from somewhere, if you don't have tickets, if you don't volunteer somewhere, you can't
[01:11:18] get this ticket. We volunteered for the fire team. What is the fire
[01:11:21] team? They burn the effigy, so we need to protect
[01:11:24] people from jumping into the fire, and that's how we got
[01:11:27] into Midburn. For Tal and Yaniv, Midburn has special
[01:11:31] significance this year. This year we need
[01:11:33] to make the skin canopy. The skin canopy is a canopy that 24 years ago
[01:11:37] Tali and I got married, I built her a surprise canopy in the shape of a Star
[01:11:41] of David, so this year we are making this canopy. We are returning it to people,
[01:11:44] we announced that we are putting up a canopy, and whoever wants a home and whoever wants to come
[01:11:48] has a schedule, and there are about 14 couples already registered, everyone
[01:11:52] is going to do their renewals, their wedding, their commitment,
[01:11:55] their fun.
[01:11:57] Shaylee,
[01:12:01] come help
[01:12:02] me.
[01:12:06] Shaylee is the youngest creator at Midburn
[01:12:09] 20-26, and this is going to be your first Midburn. Not sixth,
[01:12:13] how many sixths? Sixth already. Whoever thinks this is not a place
[01:12:16] for children, I've been in Midburn since first grade,
[01:12:19] growing up in Midburn and raising children in Midburn
[01:12:23] is raising them into a dream. It's not just that you meet
[01:12:27] a 15-year-old girl who does something uncharacteristic
[01:12:31] for her age. What, what attracted you to Midburn? It's like a parallel universe.
[01:12:34] Midburn is like, there's the routine and there's everything and there's
[01:12:38] the everyday, and then you come to Midburn and it's a magical
[01:12:41] and beautiful fairyland. That you can, that everything is there and everything there
[01:12:44] is different. She worked on her installation for many months with
[01:12:47] her mother and she has an important message to convey through it.
[01:12:51] The installation is called The Marionette. This installation actually talks about
[01:12:55] society's desire to control everyone, that everyone dresses the same and talks
[01:12:59] the same and behaves the same and likes the same things. There are people with
[01:13:02] differences, and instead of imprisoning them in a cage and putting some
[01:13:06] kind of label on them, let them blossom and be
[01:13:09] free.
[01:13:13] May it go well, may everyone arrive safe and sound,
[01:13:16] return safe and sound to their homes, and come on, let's have
[01:13:20] success.
[01:13:24] We started.
[01:13:28] A year of anticipation and preparations has come to an end. The thousands
[01:13:32] who gathered on the dilapidated access road are entering
[01:13:35] at their own pace through the city gates. How long did it take you to get to the gate? I'm curious
[01:13:39] two hours, two hours, yes, but
[01:13:42] that's okay, we always love it and we accept it, everyone is accepted here,
[01:13:45] but from the moment the city opens, television
[01:13:48] cameras are received a little less enthusiastically. Camp
[01:13:52] Baobab, the veteran, kindly agreed to host
[01:13:55] us on one condition: no nudity here. Ah, that's an
[01:13:58] important issue, very important, because why?
[01:14:02] Do they get confused? No, because there
[01:14:05] are areas, there are areas where they know,
[01:14:08] for nudity and sexuality, and other places
[01:14:11] are,
[01:14:14] this is the king of the desert, you just sit like this, and I take
[01:14:18] a trip in the Playa, take people on a trip in a wheelchair,
[01:14:21] and people have no problem.
[01:14:29] A lawyer for insurance companies in retirement, he's already counting
[01:14:32] 12 years of Midburn. From birth
[01:14:35] we are educated, always give, because you
[01:14:39] will receive, even if you give this, give because
[01:14:42] you will receive, but no, give because
[01:14:45] you give.
[01:14:51] Why didn't you want to come? Because I'm completely open.
[01:14:55] And I don't do drugs at all, so I thought it would be
[01:14:58] very problematic. I wasn't aware of all the amazing
[01:15:02] art here and all the amazing people
[01:15:05] here, and the crazy giving here of people and the good
[01:15:09] will.
[01:15:13] This is our first day, but let's see, it's fun so far, they're loving
[01:15:17] it. I'm with him, he's 10 months old, and with the older one
[01:15:20] who is three, and she's flying here, she's
[01:15:24] like already. How many installations, the most interesting
[01:15:27] installation is the microphone, yes, and the microphone here is amazing, great
[01:15:30] installation. A moment before the sun disappeared, we met the
[01:15:33] young artist and her marionette of freedom.
[01:15:37] There were challenges, we had to dig a pit and we forgot tools, and then
[01:15:41] we had to lift a bucket of 20 kilos of concrete into the pit
[01:15:44] into the base. This installation really talks about a style of
[01:15:47] freedom, about freedom that many people need to know is
[01:15:51] possible and that it doesn't have to be.
[01:15:55] To only follow the current. What do you love about the desert? Uh, I
[01:15:59] love everything, really everything. I loved
[01:16:00] the camps.
[01:16:03] I love the installations and the
[01:16:05] music.
[01:16:14] When darkness falls, the Playa area turns into a display of lights
[01:16:17] and colors. An artistic amusement park in the heart
[01:16:21] of the desert. What a different experience. It's something I've never
[01:16:24] experienced. Connecting to the atmosphere of togetherness, connecting
[01:16:28] to loving the world, frames of love.
[01:16:32] To see it happen, it's incredibly moving. Yesterday
[01:16:35] I cried, it was a moment when all our musicians went up
[01:16:38] and played, it was wow. What camp are you from? We
[01:16:42] are Mofet, Mofet, trade
[01:16:44] in human beings, we trade in human beings, you can rent human beings for fifteen minutes, half
[01:16:48] an hour, and where did this idea to trade in human beings come from? This wonderful woman,
[01:16:52] bathrooms in Koh Phangan, a meeting took place.
[01:16:57] Are you ready to propose under your chuppah? We
[01:17:00] are ready.
[01:17:03] It's so moving, because people feel it, the
[01:17:06] commitment, the giving, the love, the
[01:17:10] acceptance. It's some kind of symbol, of love, freedom,
[01:17:14] home.
[01:17:17] A one-time city that appears for a week and disappears as if
[01:17:21] it never was, a place where lawyers, managers, can.
[01:17:25] Shed the outer layer and be whatever they want, before
[01:17:28] they return to real life and start the countdown
[01:17:32] until the desert city comes back to life.
[01:17:50] 16 cyclists were killed this year, four
[01:17:53] of them on the road. On intercity roads, double
[01:17:57] the number from last year. One of them is our dear friend Rabbi Mai Itzik
[01:18:00] Barashi, may his memory be a blessing. How did the healthiest
[01:18:04] and most environmentally friendly hobby become so deadly? Is
[01:18:07] there a way to improve the situation? Here's an excerpt from Amir
[01:18:10] Geer's report that will be broadcast tomorrow on Friday
[01:18:13] News.
[01:18:20] First of all, I won't lie, I won't tell you that even with
[01:18:24] all the hours I ride on the road, it doesn't cross
[01:18:28] my mind 10 times during a workout. Why did I win
[01:18:31] this at all? What am I even doing here? It's dangerous, I have three
[01:18:35] children at home, every time he gets on the road, 10 years are taken from my life, unequivocally,
[01:18:38] but in the end, this is our sport, and that's part
[01:18:42] of it. How is the Israeli driver very
[01:18:46] impatient. Uh, yes, it's
[01:18:49] hard, it feels like people, people's
[01:18:53] time is more important than our lives, and that's, that's
[01:18:56] hard.
[01:18:59] This is the group that rode on the fateful Saturday, September
[01:19:02] 9th, with director Itzik Barashi,
[01:19:05] our dear friend and colleague at the Broadcasting Corporation.
[01:19:09] At this station, on Road 44 near the Nesharim
[01:19:12] interchange, they took their last riding
[01:19:15] break.
[01:19:17] It's not easy, you suddenly realize it could have been
[01:19:21] you, like we feel like I escaped
[01:19:24] death. We left here, it wasn't four
[01:19:27] or five minutes, 200 meters,
[01:19:30] our world was destroyed. That feeling of
[01:19:34] loss in an instant,
[01:19:36] that feeling that suddenly someone came
[01:19:39] and turned off the light.
[01:19:46] It's here he is not
[01:19:50] 10 meters in the air.
[01:19:53] I didn't want to see it, I didn't see it, I couldn't
[01:19:56] see it.
[01:20:04] It's unbelievable. Bicycle
[01:20:07] תאונות
[01:20:15] accidents that end in injury, we don't
[01:20:18] remember, but the injured continue to bear forever
[01:20:22] the heavy price.
[01:20:23] Not
[01:20:27] easy, uh, not least
[01:20:29] that this is
[01:20:32] me. Uh, not
[01:20:35] warm enough yet, need to bring
[01:20:50] They were injured just like me, I received rehabilitation, they are still in the process
[01:20:53] of rehabilitation, and the only thing I can do is
[01:20:57] go back to the track in order
[01:21:00] to erase this
[01:21:02] thing.
[01:21:11] The Israeli aviation industry is far from full recovery, it
[01:21:14] is already facing another upheaval. Arkia, the third largest
[01:21:18] of the Israeli companies, is about to be
[01:21:21] sold. So who will buy it and how will it affect us,
[01:21:24] the passengers? Noam Goldberg and Noam with all
[01:21:27] the details.
[01:21:30] Yes, Tali, Arkia has been facing quite a few challenges in the past
[01:21:34] year. On the one hand, dozens of new routes, both to the United States and
[01:21:37] to the East. It has tripled its market share at Ben Gurion Airport and launched
[01:21:41] a series of glamorous campaigns, and on the other hand, it has suffered
[01:21:44] huge losses due to the wars with Iran and also the rising
[01:21:48] prices of jet fuel. Arkia, which is a private company, is held
[01:21:51] by the Nakash brothers who also hold the Eilat port. They have been trying
[01:21:55] for at least two years to put the company up for sale and haven't really
[01:21:58] succeeded. The employees, on the other hand, are angry about the move, both for fear
[01:22:02] of dilution of their shares and for fear of layoffs
[01:25:29] of recommendations at the President's office has ended. Shahar Glick, we're coming
[01:25:32] back to you with the updates from this hour,
[01:25:35] Shahar. Yes, Tali, just now
[01:25:39] the Likud party is finishing its declaration after it
[01:25:42] recommended to the President of the State.
