00:00:20A senior official in the United Arab Emirates refutes the report that Prime Minister
00:00:24Netanyahu was warned by UAE President Ben Zayed before the October 7th massacre.
00:00:28In an interview with the Emirati newspaper National,
00:00:32the anonymous official explained that the Emirates
00:00:35discusses security issues with other countries through
00:00:39the relevant bodies and does not discuss such details
00:00:42at the leadership level. The official's remarks reinforce
00:00:46the official response of the Emiratis at the beginning of the month, which did
00:00:49not explicitly deny the conversation between Netanyahu and the UAE President.
00:00:53The President of the State, Isaac Herzog,
00:00:56announced today that he has decided to erase the criminal record
00:01:00of Elor Azaria, who was convicted in 2016 for shooting
00:01:04a neutralized terrorist in Hebron during his
00:01:07regular service. Roynovsky, our correspondent, we turn to you with the decision
00:01:10that is being made contrary to the position of the IDF. Yes,
00:01:14good morning, Yonatan, and the bottom line is, President Herzog
00:01:17decides to shorten the period of the criminal record, meaning to effectively erase the criminal record
00:01:21of Elor Azaria, contrary
00:01:24to the opinion of the army, in an official statement,
00:01:27long and full of justifications.
00:01:30Which begins, according to the President, by stating that the decision is in the spirit of these days
00:01:34of correction and reconciliation, and in fact
00:01:37he lists a series of justifications, among
00:01:40others, the time that has passed since the incident and especially
00:01:44his desire to remove the obstacles he currently faces in the areas of employment and
00:01:47to open a new chapter in his life.
00:01:50The significant point here is that this is done against the opinion of the Chief of Staff
00:01:54and against the opinion of the army. In fact, the army explains that there are a series of
00:01:57factors that examine such requests. The main reason
00:02:01why they objected to the deletion of the criminal record
00:02:05is that to this day Azaria has not expressed remorse for
00:02:08his actions, but they emphasize that their recommendation goes to the minister,
00:02:12the minister gives his opinion to the president, and of course
00:02:15the army's recommendation is a recommendation, the minister and the president can decide otherwise,
00:02:18what happened, so the bottom line is President Herzog
00:02:22decides to delete the criminal record of Elor Azaria
00:02:25contrary to the opinion of the Chief of Staff. Roy,
00:02:28thank you. In Europe, preparations are being made for Russia's attempts to expand the fighting
00:02:32in Ukraine to other countries on the continent. In Germany
00:02:35and Britain, they are refreshing emergency plans for the home front.
00:02:38Yoav Zehavi, our foreign affairs correspondent. Hello. Yes, hello
00:02:41Yonatan. So Europe is raising its alert level against Russia.
00:02:44Yesterday, Poland scrambled fighter jets and put its air defense systems
00:02:48on high alert following Russian attacks in Ukraine.
00:02:52Polish Prime Minister Donald Tusk warned last week that Russia
00:02:56could try to infiltrate drones or launch
00:02:59missiles into the territory of NATO countries, and then present those
00:03:03incidents as an accident in an attempt to test if NATO
00:03:06would respond. In the Baltic states, Latvia and Lithuania,
00:03:10they are strengthening their air defense. In France,
00:03:13President Macron orders the protection of critical infrastructure, and in Britain
00:03:16and Germany, they are also refreshing emergency plans for the home front.
00:03:20President Putin, on the other hand, the President of Russia, said over the weekend
00:03:23that some European leaders are openly preparing for war with
00:03:27Russia in order to divert public attention from their own troubles,
00:03:30of those countries. We will say, however, there is currently no indication of an imminent
00:03:34war, but Europe is clearly preparing for the possibility that the confrontation
00:03:37will spill beyond the borders of Ukraine. Thank
00:03:41you very much, Yoav. Now for the weather forecast. Today, there will be a slight
00:03:44drop in temperatures, and they will be normal for the season in most
00:03:47areas. Tomorrow, Monday, Yom Kippur, another slight warming, especially
00:03:51in the cities and inland. On Tuesday, temperatures will drop slightly,
00:03:55and on Wednesday, another slight cooling. And these are the entry times
00:03:59for Yom Kippur. In Jerusalem, the fast begins at
00:04:025:58. The fast ends at 7:13.
00:04:06In Tel Aviv, the fast begins at 6:22. The fast
00:04:09ends at 7:15. In Haifa, entry
00:04:13at 6:09, exit at 7:00, and in Beersheba,
00:04:17entry at 6:21, exit at 7:04.
00:04:20Also.
00:04:22And before we finish, here's what awaits you in the Kan News edition on Monday,
00:04:26after Yom Kippur.
00:05:07I was at the Carmel market not long ago, and someone
00:05:10shouts "Ziona" to me.
