[00:00:00] scenarios to support ultra-Orthodox or
[00:00:03] Arab parties. Here another complication arises,
[00:00:06] which is the conscription law. The differences of the
[00:00:10] ultra-Orthodox parties regarding this issue may make
[00:00:14] their participation in any new
[00:00:17] Iran is no longer measured only by what happens on coalition more complicated, while the possibility of them remaining outside
[00:00:20] the two camps is still open. However, the most
[00:00:24] sensitive issue remains the case of Netanyahu himself. Herzog
[00:00:28] revealed that he proposed mediation under the supervision of his office to end
[00:00:31] the trial of the Prime Minister through a settlement,
[00:00:34] believing that the issue should
[00:00:37] end with a settlement
[00:00:38] of the war. However, Tehran and an admission of guilt. According to his account, Netanyahu
[00:00:42] has not yet responded to the mediation proposal,
[00:00:46] while the option is still on the table. Here
[00:00:49] two highly
[00:00:51] Washington wants a deal that sensitive issues intersect: the formation of a unity government on the one hand,
[00:00:54] and the possibility of a pardon for Netanyahu on the other.
[00:00:57] Can a pardon become part of
[00:01:00] a broader political settlement if the elections fail
[00:01:03] to produce a majority of 61
[00:01:06] seats, and Herzog insists on preventing a new
[00:01:10] round of elections? This scenario is being discussed
[00:01:13] behind the scenes, but it is not an announced agreement. Those close
[00:01:17] to Herzog reject the link between the pardon issue
[00:01:20] and the formation of the unity government, and they confirm
[00:01:23] that the review of the pardon request must be based on independent
[00:01:27] substantive considerations. Therefore,
[00:01:30] the real question is not only: who will form
[00:01:33] the government, but can Herzog use his position
[00:01:36] as president to push for a political settlement
[00:01:40] that prevents new elections? And can
[00:01:43] Netanyahu's legal case become part
[00:01:47] to complete the mission. Here, of this settlement? So far, there is no announced answer,
[00:01:50] but it is clear that the post-election battle may
[00:01:54] be, in the absence of a decisive outcome, more
[00:01:57] important than the battle itself.

[00:02:03] Occupation forces continued their attacks on southern Lebanon,
[00:02:06] targeting towns, residential areas, and civilian and
[00:02:10] health facilities, coinciding with incursions and military
[00:02:14] movements in a number of border areas, according to what was reported
[00:02:18] by the National News
[00:02:19] Agency.
[00:02:22] In a blatant and repeated violation of international
[00:02:26] laws and norms, and in the context
[00:02:28] forces in the region of the ongoing aggression against Lebanon.
[00:02:30] Despite the signing of the framework agreement that provides for a cessation
[00:02:34] of hostilities, the occupation forces continue to target
[00:02:38] health institutions and civil defense and health ambulance
[00:02:41] teams, in addition to violent and continuous
[00:02:44] strikes on all villages and towns in southern Lebanon.
[00:02:47] In this context, Israeli warplanes launched a two-phase
[00:02:51] raid on the old square neighborhood in the town
[00:02:55] of Nabatieh al-Fawqa, followed by a third raid that targeted
[00:02:58] ambulance teams that rushed to the scene of the two raids. The
[00:03:02] Lebanese Ministry of Health reported no casualties among
[00:03:05] paramedics or civilians as a result of the three
[00:03:09] raids, which left significant damage. The Lebanese Ministry of Health
[00:03:13] condemned the occupation forces' burning of Mays
[00:03:16] al-Jabal Governmental Hospital in Marjayoun district, which caused
[00:03:20] extensive damage to the hospital's main building and severe
[00:03:24] damage to medical equipment in all
[00:03:26] its departments. In Marjayoun, the phosphorus
[00:03:30] artillery also targeted the town of Qantara. The town of Zawtar
[00:03:34] al-Sharqiya, Nabatieh district, was also subjected to a violent
[00:03:37] attack by drones and explosive barrels.
[00:03:40] The occupation artillery targeted the towns of
[00:03:43] Mansoura, Sirbin, and Hadatha. The occupation
[00:03:46] also carried out a massive search operation in the town
[00:03:49] of Khiam.
[00:03:52] In light of this continuous escalation and the stalled negotiation process,
[00:03:56] the meetings of the United Nations General Assembly offer
[00:04:00] an opportunity for the Lebanese government and its delegation heading
[00:04:03] to New York, where official Lebanese sources confirmed
[00:04:06] that the issues of renewing the mandate of international
[00:04:09] peacekeeping forces, supporting the Lebanese army, strengthening its capabilities,
[00:04:13] and completing the political process to completely stop the aggression
[00:04:17] and begin the Israeli withdrawal from Lebanese territories
[00:04:20] constitute the main topics that the Lebanese
[00:04:23] delegation will focus on in its meetings on the sidelines of the General Assembly,
[00:04:27] most notably an anticipated meeting between the Lebanese
[00:04:30] government and the US Secretary of State. Bilal
[00:04:34] Hijazi, Palestine TV.
[00:04:37] Senior officials in the US administration reported that President
[00:04:40] Donald Trump will not meet with Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin
[00:04:43] Netanyahu during the United Nations General Assembly meetings in
[00:04:47] New York scheduled for next week. Those sources,
[00:04:51] as quoted by Yediot Aharonot newspaper, explained that
[00:04:54] this is due to Trump's tight schedule and limited time.
[00:04:58] Another official in the US administration said that Netanyahu's
[00:05:02] presence in New York will be limited due to the upcoming
[00:05:05] Israeli elections.
[00:05:06] At
[00:05:12] a time when US President Donald Trump talks about Iran's
[00:05:16] desire to reach an agreement, Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin
[00:05:19] Netanyahu raises the ceiling of his rhetoric against the Iranian
[00:05:22] regime, calling for its overthrow.
[00:05:26] The American war on
[00:05:29] the ground. After months of war, the crisis has entered a more
[00:05:33] complex phase. How does the war end,
[00:05:37] and who writes the terms of the end? Trump says that Iran
[00:05:41] wants a deal. He talks about direct
[00:05:44] contacts with Tehran, and even says that the United States
[00:05:48] may be nearing the end
[00:05:51] does not confirm the resumption of direct negotiations, while
[00:05:55] it emphasizes that any new path must
[00:05:58] begin with its conditions. Here the gray area appears.
[00:06:04] does not seem like just a ceasefire, but rather a settlement
[00:06:07] that restricts Iran's ability to return to
[00:06:11] what it considers a threat, at a time when
[00:06:15] Tehran seeks to obtain an agreement that preserves
[00:06:18] its position and does not turn into a formula
[00:06:20] of surrender under the pressure of war and sanctions.
[00:06:24] Between the two positions, the maneuvering space is shrinking.
[00:06:27] The war did not remain within the Iranian or Israeli
[00:06:30] borders. Its repercussions extended to the Gulf,
[00:06:33] Yemen, and the maritime passages, while the Strait
[00:06:36] of Hormuz and Bab al-Mandeb became part
[00:06:39] of the negotiation equation itself, with a direct
[00:06:43] impact on global energy and trade. As for Israel,
[00:06:46] it sets a different ceiling. Benjamin Netanyahu
[00:06:49] says that overthrowing the Iranian regime has become a central
[00:06:52] goal, and he talked about its end being near,
[00:06:56] and that Israel is determined
[00:07:00] the question is no longer only whether Washington and Tehran agree, but
[00:07:04] whether Washington and Tel Aviv actually agree on the form
[00:07:07] of the end. If the American priority is to reach a settlement
[00:07:11] that ends the war and reorders Tehran's behavior, then
[00:07:14] the declared Israeli goal is to change the regime itself,
[00:07:18] and the difference between the two goals is not a detail, because it
[00:07:22] determines the shape of the day after the war. In Washington,
[00:07:25] political and economic pressures are increasing to end
[00:07:28] the conflict, while the administration continues to keep
[00:07:32] the escalation option open. Trump is preparing to consult with Gulf
[00:07:35] leaders about the next stage, while US
[00:07:40] remain on alert for escalation if political
[00:07:44] paths fail. As for Iran, it also faces
[00:07:48] a difficult equation. The continuation of the war raises the cost, but
[00:07:51] accepting a deal on American terms may mean making
[00:07:55] concessions that Tehran considers a blow to its regional
[00:07:59] position. Therefore, the real knot seems to be in
[00:08:02] the terms of exit. Washington wants to exit saying
[00:08:06] that it has imposed an agreement that achieves its goals.
[00:08:08] And Tehran wants to exit saying that
[00:08:12] it negotiated and did not surrender. And Tel Aviv wants the
[00:08:16] end of the war to be different from its beginning, so that
[00:08:19] Iran does not return to its previous position. Between
[00:08:23] these goals, the region remains suspended between two
[00:08:27] paths: an agreement that redraws the rules of confrontation
[00:08:30] or an escalation that reopens the doors of war. What will decide
[00:08:34] the direction will not be only what happens in Tehran or Washington, but the harder
[00:08:37] question: can each party accept an
[00:08:40] end that does not give it
[00:08:43] everything it wanted? The rise in fuel
[00:08:46] prices and disruption of navigation in the Straits of Hormuz and Bab al-Mandeb led to an increase
[00:08:50] in shipping costs.
[00:09:50] The Palestine Plastic Industry Exhibition opened with official
[00:09:54] and popular attendance, with the aim of encouraging national products
[00:09:57] to contribute to stimulating the Palestinian economy.
