00:00:01Beresheet sheltered housing in the Jerusalem mountains, and now
00:00:14B. Our next update
00:01:06in the House of Representatives, from this coming January, President
00:01:09Trump will face a confrontational Congress. With us is Nathan
00:01:13Guttman, our correspondent in Washington. And President Trump
00:01:16announces that the veto will start working, the veto he has
00:01:19against the Senate and against the House of Representatives.
00:01:23Yes, Arieh, President Trump is already preparing for the new reality
00:01:27and actually accepts the fact that his
00:01:30Republican party lost the majority in both houses. Trump,
00:01:34on the one hand, says that he will respect the election results,
00:01:38on the other hand, he quickly posts a picture of his veto hat,
00:01:42making it clear that he will block the legislation of the Democrats in the new
00:01:45Congress by means of the veto right,
00:01:48the veto right that is granted to him. We need
00:01:51to note in this context, first of all, the results themselves.
00:01:55The counting is still ongoing, but already at this
00:01:58stage, there is a majority of... 51 senators
00:02:02for the Democrats out of the hundred in the Senate,
00:02:05and the counting is still ongoing. There are still a number of states. What is particularly
00:02:09interesting regarding the Senate are the states where the Democrats
00:02:13won, deep red
00:02:16states, states considered Republican strongholds,
00:02:19including, for example, first of all,
00:02:22of course, Texas, but also South Carolina and Iowa,
00:02:26and Ohio and Kansas, and they haven't counted yet.
00:03:01We listened, we listened to the American people, we went, we sat with them in the kitchen, we heard what
00:03:05they wanted and we dared them, says Schumer. He mainly means
00:03:08the issue of the cost of living, and also of
00:03:12democracy, of the future of democracy, two issues that, according to polls,
00:03:16are what worried the voters and what made them vote
00:03:19against the
00:03:22Republicans in the end. This was
00:03:25in the Senate. In the House of Representatives, the Democrats also won.
00:03:29They are expected to rule there with a large majority. The next
00:03:32Speaker of the House will be Hakeem Jeffries. He will be
00:03:36the first African American to hold this
00:03:39position. By the way, regarding Israel, Jeffries is considered one of
00:03:42the moderates in his party, a kind of moderating force against
00:03:46the progressives in everything related
00:03:48to Israel.
00:03:51The issue of the war in Iran was of course in the background
00:03:55of this election campaign, not so much in the question of what Iran
00:03:58is doing, but in the question of how it affects the American
00:04:02public in fuel prices, the cost of living
00:04:05and inflation. Donald Trump now has to decide what he does with
00:04:08this war. He said that he does not intend to attack
00:04:12immediately after the elections, after
00:04:15the midterm elections. On the other hand, he did not rule out this
00:04:18possibility. He has a relatively short window of opportunity
00:04:22to do so, because in January the new Congress will convene,
00:04:25and the Democrats have already made it clear that they will not allow military actions
00:04:29without Congress. Thank you, Nathan Guttman
00:04:32in Washington. We will return to this issue of the midterm election results
00:04:36in the United States. Now to the harsh
00:04:39reactions in the political system to the demand
00:04:42of the head of the Shin Bet, David Zini, who was appointed by Gali Be'erav
00:04:46Mayra, to allow him to investigate Knesset members Tibi and Abbas
00:04:49and the chairman of Balad, Abu Shahada, on suspicion
00:04:52of foreign involvement in swaying the elections. Investigation sources
00:04:56claim that there is no evidentiary basis for Zini's demand,
00:04:59so said this morning our police reporter, Lunovsky. Good
00:05:03morning to you. Good morning, Arieh. This is an unprecedented
00:05:06event in the enforcement system that leads to a confrontation also within the Shin Bet, between senior
00:05:10officials in the organization and the head of the Shin Bet, Zini, whose role was also covered extensively here
00:05:13this week, and also to a very unusual public confrontation
00:05:16between the legal advisor and the head of the Shin Bet, when the root
00:05:20of the confrontation, as you said, is Zini's desire to investigate
00:05:24senior officials in the Arab parties on suspicion of election fraud, without
00:05:27there currently being any material,
00:05:30any investigation material, any indication of their involvement without suspicion or evidence, only on
00:05:34the basis of some desire to conduct a comprehensive examination of the integrity of the elections in Arab society
00:05:38following those known complaints that we know about
00:05:41election fraud. Or or falsifications. And I will explain. According to
00:05:45Avishai Greenzeig's publication in 24, Zini
00:05:48raises in the meeting the names of four senior officials who should be investigated with a warning,
00:05:52exactly so. One of them is a Knesset member about whom there is
00:05:55indeed information that he received money from an unknown source for alleged
00:05:58use in the elections. But regarding the other
00:06:02three, Ahmed Tibi, Mansour Abbas, Sami Abu Shahade, checks
00:06:06that we conduct with sources familiar with the details
00:06:09of the investigation show that for them there is no
00:06:15election fraud or foreign
00:06:17involvement. So, in fact, out of four senior officials, regarding
00:06:20three, at least for now from the known material, material that has been presented,
00:06:24there is currently no indication whatsoever, and therefore here
00:06:28the question marks arise. I will tell you another point on this matter,
00:06:31on Sunday, in the joint statement of Solberg, the legal advisor and the head of the Shin Bet,
00:06:35they announce the establishment of a joint investigation team
00:06:39for this matter, for the police, for the Shin Bet, and for the prosecution, but...
00:06:42Since then, three days, the Shin Bet is currently not cooperating with
00:06:45the police, has not transferred materials, so
00:06:48in practice, it is not implementing the decision of Solberg, Deputy
00:06:52Chief Justice of the Supreme Court and Chairman of the Election Committee,
00:06:55and this event is also in the background of the opposition expressed by the head of the Shin Bet this week
00:06:59to involve the police in the event, after there was some
00:07:03discussion about these suspicions, when professional sources say that a central part of what
00:07:06emerges in the information are criminal matters, which are not within the Shin Bet's authority, and therefore the police
00:07:10need to be involved, and all of this, of course. In the background, calls in the Likud
00:07:14and in the Netanyahu bloc not to accept the election results, and also claims that Zini
00:07:17should investigate the suspicions. The Likud says the legal advisor ties
00:07:21the Shin Bet's hands, refuses to allow the investigation into foreign intervention
00:07:25in the elections. On the other hand, Gadi Eizenkot
00:07:28says that the Likud and Netanyahu are trying to carry out a pogrom against democracy. He also
00:07:31sends a message to Zini, woe to him
00:07:34who abuses his position for political considerations. Yair
00:07:38Lapid even says that they are trying to steal the elections with the help of the government's
00:07:41stooges. In the security establishment, as he defines it,
00:07:44of course hinting at the conduct of the head of the Shin Bet. Also in the joint
00:07:48Ra'am, they reacted and said in the joint,
00:07:51Zini has gone off the rails, we will not allow Zini and Netanyahu to turn
00:07:55Arab votes into a security threat, and they add and say at
00:07:58the end of their statement, the public spoke its mind at the ballot box. This
00:08:02is the wording of the Joint List's response to this matter. Thank you,
00:08:05Runovsky, and the Attorney General published
00:08:08yesterday a very harsh statement against the head of the Shabak, David Ze'ev.
00:08:12On this matter, with us for a report is our legal commentator
00:08:16Tamar Almog. Hello, good morning Tamar. Hello Arieh, good morning. So
00:08:19yes, we are talking about a very unusual statement, and we are not saying this, but
00:08:23the Attorney General herself says so in her statement. "In a most
00:08:26unusual manner and in light of erroneous publications, the Attorney General
00:08:30wishes to convey that" - and pay attention to this sentence, which should be the most obvious
00:08:33in a state of law - "citizens or public officials cannot be investigated
00:08:37without evidence justifying it." But the hint
00:08:41regarding the conduct of the head of the Shin Bet, from the Attorney General's perspective,
00:08:44does not end here. She says that if the Shin Bet or any
00:08:48other entity has evidence that justifies an investigation, they are invited
00:08:51to present it. Everyone who needs to be investigated will be investigated, but people
00:08:55will not be investigated without an evidentiary basis. Three different ways to convey the message of the Attorney
00:08:59General that the Shin Bet, the head
00:09:02of the Shin Bet, is requesting to investigate people without having an evidentiary
00:09:06basis for it. The Attorney General also says explicitly that the Shin Bet has not
00:09:10been transferring materials for two days.
00:09:12Materials that exist, as a continuation of what Lunovsky said, materials
00:09:16collected for the special investigation team, and therefore
00:09:19the Shin Bet is the one delaying the handling of the matter. What will happen
00:09:23from here, Arieh? We know to whom prophecy was given, but
00:09:26according to the exchange of words, it can be assumed that not everything
00:09:30will be resolved this morning. That is probably
00:09:33certain. Thank you very much, and with us now is the chairman of the Democrats,
00:09:36Yair Golan. Good morning to you. Good morning
00:09:40Ari, good morning to the listeners. First of all, on this matter, that the head of the Shin Bet, David Zini, is not
00:09:43right to want to use special means, if he
00:09:47suspects that there might be security offenses
00:09:50related to intervention, foreign intervention in the elections
00:09:53we went through?
00:09:56Look, Zini simply can't handle
00:09:59the pressure. Who is pressuring him? I said, I
00:10:03said when Zini was appointed to the position, and I remind
00:10:06you that this is a clearly controversial appointment, because it's clear
00:10:10that there were more suitable people than him. That he has
00:10:13two tests, one is the investigation of the Qatari affair, and the other
00:10:16is the fight against Jewish terrorism
00:10:20that is spreading throughout Judea and Samaria, threatening Israel's security, the security
00:10:24of all of us. Uh, he failed both these tests.
00:10:28Afterwards, I said he has a third test, which is protecting Israeli
00:10:31democracy. He probably can't handle the pressure exerted on him from the Prime Minister's
00:10:35Office, and is essentially trying to illegally shackle
00:10:39Israeli democracy.
00:10:41Uh, this thing is simply inconceivable, and it testifies first of all to
00:10:44who appointed David Zini and how determined he is to fight
00:10:48democracy and essentially nullify the free elections
00:10:52and truly the... The truly impressive elections that took place here
00:10:55less than a week ago, and the second
00:10:58thing is that,
00:11:01when we return
00:11:04to power, we will examine every appointment responsibly and check every
00:11:08thing seriously and professionally, and whoever
00:11:12is not suitable and unable to fulfill
00:11:15their role will simply have to leave their position. Well, that's certainly a hint
00:11:19to David Zini, maybe also to the head of the Mossad, Gofman, but you need
00:11:23to form the government. I want to ask you first of all
00:11:26about this matter, following the defeat of President Trump
00:11:29and the Republicans in the midterm elections in the United States, do
00:11:33you think that if you succeed in forming the change government,
00:11:37it will be easier for you to return to bipartisan
00:11:40support for the State of Israel, even though
00:11:43it is a Democratic party,
00:11:45progressive, in fact parts of it are really anti-
00:11:49Israeli? I want to tell you, I have plenty
00:11:52of contacts with American administrations. From the past,
00:11:56especially from my time as Chief of the Home Front Command and as Deputy
00:11:58Chief of Staff, the approach was always a fundamental
00:12:02approach of the State of Israel, a non-partisan approach, an approach
00:12:06that says that we essentially know how to work with any American administration, whether
00:12:09it is Democratic or Republican.
00:12:12This approach, the one who violated it grossly and in a way
00:12:16that endangers the security interests of the State of
00:12:19Israel, is again Benjamin Netanyahu.
00:12:23Netanyahu essentially destroyed our relations with the Democrats,
00:12:26and they will have a rebuilding job, and I can... will you be able to do it with a Democratic
00:12:30party that has completely changed? I, I, I know the American
00:12:34scene well, I am convinced that we will know how to restore
00:12:37our relations with the United States. Our special relations with the United
00:12:41States are a strategic asset, and it is one of
00:12:44the most important and first tasks we will have to do is to restore
00:12:47our relations with the United States and reach a situation where we know how to work with
00:12:51the Trump administration and also with any other administration, and even if there is a Democratic
00:12:55administration. And to convince, and to convince the Trump administration first of all
00:12:58to continue with the security assistance of four billion
00:13:02dollars per year at least until 2028, as it should
00:13:05have been? Look, what's
00:13:08happening here is a dark political deal without
00:13:12any explanation, without any prior discussion with the heads
00:13:16of the security establishment. I remind you that American aid
00:13:19is a fundamental building block in the force building of the Israel
00:13:22Defense Forces, in the defense of all of us. And
00:13:26the fact that Netanyahu decides on his own to give up military
00:13:29aid for two years totaling 7.6 billion
00:13:33dollars without consulting with anyone, without explaining to anyone,
00:13:36without explaining to the citizens of Israel, why he is giving it up? This is something
00:13:40that smells, stinks of a dark
00:13:43political deal, what exactly did he promise
00:13:46President Trump in return, that's really not
00:13:49clear, uh, or what did he ask President Trump for in return, sorry,
00:13:53that's not clear. The support he received twice before
00:13:57the elections? Was that the deal in your opinion? It could be
00:14:00that's the deal, it could be that the deal is actually the cost
00:14:04of another attack in Iran. One thing
00:14:07is clear, Netanyahu is mortgaging the future, the security
00:14:10future of the State of Israel, for his personal
00:14:13needs and political needs. This is an act of unprecedented
00:14:16severity, which justifies by itself, it
00:14:20itself justifies the establishment of a Jewish inquiry committee to investigate
00:14:24why Netanyahu decides on his own to give up
00:14:27without any consultation with any party on 7.6
00:14:30billion dollars, which is, I say again, the cornerstone
00:14:34of the force building of the Israel Defense Forces. Now,
00:14:38let's talk, Yair Golan, about your meeting yesterday.
00:14:41You finally met together. In your opinion, who do you
00:14:45prefer to rely on
00:14:48for an Eizenkot government, if you manage to form it? On
00:14:51the Haredim or on the Arab parties? With whom will it be
00:14:55easier for you to run the country?
00:14:58I want to tell you, first of all, it was a good meeting, in a good
00:15:01spirit. I trust my
00:15:04partners, that all of us
00:15:08understand the gravity of the hour and the urgent need to form a stable
00:15:11government. We will find the formula. I can't tell
00:15:14you if it's Haredim, Arabs,
00:15:17a combination. We will find the formula, and this
00:15:20formula will be formulated in the basic principles
00:15:23of the government. Everyone who joins the government must agree to these basic principles.
00:15:27Now, Lieberman hinted in his meeting
00:15:31with political reporters that the Haredim
00:15:33are preferred. Uh, of course, the price will be a blanket exemption.
00:15:37All Haredi draft dodgers who study
00:15:40in yeshivas, would you say that forming the change government
00:15:44with all the important implications that you
00:15:47and others attribute to forming a different government, is more
00:15:51important than equal service for everyone?
00:15:54I think it's still early, so
00:15:57to speak, to cut the ribbon, as long as there is no coalition agreement,
00:16:01and therefore, at the moment, nothing is being given up, but rather
00:16:04serious discussions are being held for all parties.
00:16:09I am impressed that these are really people who came to work and are doing an excellent
00:16:12job, as are we Democrats. We
00:16:15will eventually find the formula, and this formula
00:16:19will include, I repeat, basic principles,
00:16:22to which ultimately everyone who is part of the future coalition
00:16:26will be committed. Yes, you keep pushing, you said
00:16:30it before the elections, unlike others in the change bloc,
00:16:33that a government should be founded, a government
00:16:36that will last. Which is a completely legitimate thing, even
00:16:40with the support of the Arab parties. But the question is
00:16:42practical, what will happen for example with an Eizenkot government, if such
00:16:46a one is formed, when the IDF goes to war in Gaza against Hamas or
00:16:50in Lebanon against Hezbollah? The
00:16:52Joint List will immediately side with them, and also
00:16:56in Ra'am, gradually the members will withdraw. I
00:16:59want to say that this is one of the lies spread by
00:17:03Netanyahu's poison machine, again
00:17:05and again. As far as I know and as far
00:17:08as I am familiar with the negotiations, there is no discussion
00:17:12of the Joint List as part of the coalition.
00:17:15Not even external support? External
00:17:18support? Even external support will not be there if you go to war.
00:17:22I, I want to tell you, decisions
00:17:25to go to war are made in the political
00:17:28security cabinet. The Joint List will not be in that cabinet. There is
00:17:32no demand from Ra'am to be in that cabinet, and therefore there is no real
00:17:35substantive limitation on the ability of the State of Israel to make
00:17:39decisions on security matters. I tell you even more
00:17:43than that, the fear is of such a government
00:17:46in which Gadi Eizenkot and Yair
00:17:49Golan sit, and two former defense ministers, or
00:17:53should the fear be of another Netanyahu government, a financier
00:17:57of Hamas, that I asked about here, that's a fear
00:18:00of its stability and survivability of such
00:18:03a government. I tell you, I tell you, so to speak, enough trouble for the day.
00:18:07But... That's not the problem. Our problem is that we cannot afford
00:18:10another government led by a Hamas financier. And after the disaster
00:18:14of October 7th, we cannot afford another government
00:18:18that makes evasion its goal, on the background
00:18:21of which a defense minister is fired, and on the background of which the chairman of the Foreign Affairs
00:18:25and Defense Committee is replaced. We cannot afford another government in which ministers
00:18:29sit who support Jewish terrorism throughout Judea and Samaria,
00:18:32arm their people and essentially finance its activities. This
00:18:35is what is dangerous for the State of Israel. And we must change something faster.
00:18:39Yair Golan, chairman of the Democrats, I thank you very much. Good
00:18:42morning. Good morning. Now from the Likud, Minister of Diaspora Affairs,
00:18:46Amichai Chikli. Good morning to you, Mr. Minister. Good
00:18:49morning. First of all, I want to hear your reaction, I ask for your reaction
00:18:52to the Democratic victory in both houses of Congress in the United
00:18:56States. A blow to Israel? No? Absolutely
00:19:00clear. The Democratic Party is undergoing
00:19:04radicalization processes. You have more and more there. It's
00:19:22not that they are people, you know,
00:19:24leftists and with such and such differences
00:19:28regarding such and such a policy. These are people
00:19:31who are anti-Israeli to the bone, who deny
00:19:35the right of the State of Israel to exist.
00:19:38Uh, part of a phenomenon that we see all over the world of radicalization of the political
00:19:42system, by the way, apropos the conversation with... with
00:19:45Yair Golan, yes,
00:19:48and this is certainly a very, very heavy challenge for the State of Israel.
00:19:52Okay, let's move on to matters that are unfolding here with us, Minister Chikli, do you
00:19:56believe that contrary to the Attorney General's instruction, the head
00:19:59of the Shin Bet, David Zini, must investigate with a warning the heads of the Arab
00:20:03parties without evidence, and also with special means that only
00:20:07the General Security Service has, as if they are suspected of security offenses regarding
00:20:11foreign intervention in
00:20:13our elections? I cannot say about all the heads of the Arab
00:20:17parties, I, I, we currently have two Arab parties, I know
00:20:21that the matter is to what extent. We
00:20:24also have, in the opinion of Justice
00:20:27Solberg, suspicions that are serious
00:20:30suspicions regarding both foreign funding
00:20:34once, and also regarding the incitement that is...
00:20:37incitement in exchange for either
00:20:40fuel cards or cash. There are testimonies
00:20:44of envelopes that were passed, money that was passed, fuel cards
00:20:47that flooded the Negev on election day.
00:20:50And what they want to do is investigate these things thoroughly, investigate them thoroughly.
00:20:54But the Attorney General says, it's against the law
00:20:57to investigate without evidence, meaning there's no
00:20:59evidence. I want to explain something at this
00:21:03point, the General Security Service
00:21:06operates with several precautions, operates in Gaza, operates in Judea and Samaria against a population
00:21:10that is not, these are not citizens, and it also has work with Israeli
00:21:13citizens. In work with Israeli citizens, if you want to use tools
00:21:17that are effective investigation tools, for example, wiretaps, for
00:21:21example, breaking into cell phones,
00:21:24for example, all tools of security
00:21:27organizations, apropos what used to be
00:21:30Pegasus, every such action towards
00:21:33a citizen in the State of Israel requires
00:21:37full cooperation, yes, court orders,
00:21:41a prosecution that backs these things up. The Shin Bet cannot, it
00:21:45is very, very limited. Now you have suspicions, you want to provide
00:21:48evidence, in order to provide. You need to carry out investigation activities,
00:21:52and the Attorney General is preventing the General Security Service
00:21:55from carrying out investigation activities. But she relies on the law, which does not allow such an investigation
00:21:59without evidence, without
00:22:00suspicion. There is no law
00:22:04that prevents the Shin Bet
00:22:07from investigating suspicions in order to establish an evidentiary
00:22:10basis. What she is saying is absurd. In order to
00:22:14turn suspicion
00:22:17into evidence, an investigation must be conducted.
00:22:20Now, if there is no investigation approval for David
00:22:24Zini and his people, then they cannot fulfill their role, and then
00:22:27we don't understand who exactly transferred these fuel cards, how is it
00:22:31that suddenly the Negev is flooded with fuel cards? What are these testimonies that people
00:22:35are recording themselves with cash at polling stations? What about
00:22:38those suspicions against Knesset members who allegedly
00:22:41received cash in hundreds
00:22:44of thousands from other countries? There are all sorts of things here that require investigation.
00:22:48Now, without legal
00:22:50backing for the General Security Service, it's impossible to investigate, simply. And everything
00:22:53is fine. You don't recognize the results
00:22:57of the Knesset elections, so allow me. I didn't
00:23:01say I don't recognize them, I'm asking. I
00:23:04don't... We understand, again, I
00:23:08repeat, Solberg also said that there are
00:23:12things here that seem very serious, but overall the election
00:23:15results, the election results, that's what he said, it won't change the election
00:23:19results. I don't, I again, I didn't come
00:23:23to talk, that's not the point, in my opinion, the critical point,
00:23:26the critical point is to thoroughly investigate the matters. By the way, you
00:23:30understand that sometimes a thousand votes is the difference between... I'm a graduate
00:23:33of the New Right, it can be the difference between passing or not passing, it can be between a mandate
00:23:37for Ra'am and a mandate for Shas. I don't think that this investigation
00:23:41will now make changes of 10 mandates, but it can
00:23:44create changes. By the way, we also need to remember a few
00:23:48other things, there are parties here that...
00:23:58and they are parties that will swear in their members
00:24:01to the Knesset next Monday, and that
00:24:05can no longer be changed, even if your opinion of the parties is such or
00:24:09another. The Prime Minister this time also broadcasts
00:24:12all the time on social media things like "it's great that Arabs
00:24:15are integrating into state life and politics and everything
00:24:19is wonderful." But it's not always suitable for you. I want to ask you
00:24:23something about the issue of the Arab parties. I think that if there was election
00:24:26fraud here and if there was foreign involvement here and if it's possible
00:24:30that we need to disqualify a large part
00:24:33of this, it could indeed have an impact and we should
00:24:37not sweep it under the rug and say that in any case, no matter what, it's not
00:24:41accurate. We need to say that there were very, very serious events here.
00:24:45We see recurring
00:24:46patterns.
00:24:49Regarding
00:24:58the replacement of the Speaker of the Knesset, Amir Ohana, which is expected next
00:25:02week, you wrote somewhere
00:25:05that replacing Speaker of the Knesset
00:25:09Amir Ohana with the help of the Arab parties is a stab
00:25:12in the back. I am sure
00:25:15where were you in civics class? Playing
00:25:18paddleball at the beach? I want to say the following:
00:25:22what is happening here with the Arab parties is a very,
00:25:25very, very serious event. The Arab
00:25:28parties, the problem is not that the parties are, they have
00:25:32Arab voters, we are talking about radical
00:25:35parties, of terror supporters,
00:25:39anti-Zionist to the bone,
00:25:41and we have never had a partnership,
00:25:45that this partnership actually shapes
00:25:48where the country is going. But you know, I checked, I checked the Basic
00:25:52Law, I checked the Basic Law of the Knesset and also the Knesset Rules of Procedure.
00:25:55It says there: the Knesset may, by a decision of a majority
00:25:58of its members or by a larger majority as determined by law, remove
00:26:03the Speaker of the Knesset from office. It does not say that only with
00:26:06Jews or with a majority of Zionists, but with a majority
00:26:09of its members, and the Arab parties are
00:26:12in the Knesset, and in the Knesset Rules of Procedure, wait, second, second, second,
00:26:15second, and in the Knesset Rules of Procedure it says, the Knesset shall elect by open
00:26:19ballot the Speaker of the Knesset, and the Deputy
00:26:22Speakers. Again, nothing is said regarding
00:26:24their origin, gender, party, or whether they pray
00:26:28three times a day, but that's it, the Knesset shall elect the Speaker
00:26:32of the Knesset. That's all. That's not... So I want
00:26:35us to dwell for a minute on Yosef. The public does not know
00:26:38who Yosef Jabareen is, yes. From the Joint List. They don't know
00:26:42who Yosef Jabareen is. Yes.
00:26:45This is the man, yes, who wrote
00:26:49those, you know the vision documents of Arab-Israel?
00:26:53This is the man who wrote one of those documents from the Mossawa Center. This is a person
00:26:56who comes and says
00:27:00we do not recognize the State of Israel as a Jewish
00:27:03state. We demand the abolition of state symbols,
00:27:06we demand the abolition of the Law of Return, we
00:27:09demand official recognition of the Nakba. This is
00:27:12a party that, by the way, the Joint List,
00:27:16it ran legally for the Knesset and also received many votes,
00:27:20is composed of three, is composed of three elements,
00:27:24the most radical of them is Balad. Balad is from which emerged
00:27:27the spy Azmi Bishara, Basel Ghattas, who was caught providing
00:27:30phones to terrorists in prison.
00:28:02associations that belong to Hamas. Now you come and say
00:28:05these people, none of whom,
00:28:09not even the supposedly moderate among them, are able
00:28:12to define Hamas as a terrorist organization, you come and say,
00:28:16people who do not recognize the State of Israel as a Jewish
00:28:20and democratic state, by the way, according to the Basic Law of the Knesset, they are supposed to declare in order
00:28:24to enter, supporters, heart and soul
00:28:27supporters of the armed struggle in the State of Israel, and they are the ones who will decide
00:28:31who will be the Speaker of the Knesset, I think this is an absurd act. Okay,
00:28:34Minister Amichai Chikli, we will invite you again, unfortunately. I thank you very much for
00:28:38your words, good morning. Thank you. President
00:28:41Trump's announcement about the reduction of American security aid to Israel at the end of
00:28:442026 surprised professional bodies in Israel,
00:28:48the security establishment, the Ministry of Finance. Our political correspondent,
00:28:52Gili Cohen, has the details. The questions in Israel surrounding
00:28:56Trump's announcement are only growing, the security establishment was surprised
00:28:59to hear President Trump announce: In an interview with Fox
00:29:03News yesterday, when he was asked a question
00:29:06about it, about the security aid to Israel
00:29:09being cancelled, from now on, until now
00:29:12in Israel, no staff work has been received, or at least from what we know from senior
00:29:16officials, no staff work
00:29:19or a process explaining exactly
00:29:22what is going to happen has been received, and until now we have not heard any
00:29:26reaction from Prime Minister Netanyahu, even though we contacted his office
00:29:30several times, it was not received. Regarding
00:29:33the matters, the details themselves are very important, the aid agreement
00:29:36is set to expire at the end of 2028, this
00:29:40is an agreement that essentially stipulates that every year Israel will receive
00:29:44aid from the United States of 3.8
00:29:47billion dollars. This agreement, by the way, was signed
00:29:50during President Obama's term
00:29:53in 2016 and its implementation is
00:29:57until the end of the year, so does this mean that Israel will lose almost
00:30:00two years of aid worth almost eight billion
00:30:04dollars? The answer, at least for now, is not clear. It is true
00:30:08that Prime Minister Netanyahu was the one who proposed in his meeting
00:30:11in Mar-a-Lago with President Trump at the end of
00:30:14December 2025
00:30:17to go ahead with this move. But Netanyahu, in an interview
00:30:20with The Economist, said that this move, or
00:30:24at least his aspiration, was for the aid agreement between Israel
00:30:27and the United States to be canceled within a decade, i.e., the next
00:30:31agreement. Between Israel and the United States, and therefore there are
00:30:35many question marks and lack of clarity regarding this move. It
00:30:38is true that every year Congress is the one that needs
00:30:41to approve or cancel or even transfer the aid
00:30:45funds, so there are also political implications in the United
00:30:48States, and from January Congress will probably look
00:30:51completely different from what it was until now. Did
00:30:55Trump ultimately prepare the ground for the possibility
00:30:59that Congress would vote against the transfer of aid? Anything can happen
00:31:03in American politics, but it should be remembered that until now, despite
00:31:06the years of war, despite the criticism in the Democratic
00:31:09Party, even in recent years, the American
00:31:12House of Representatives approved the transfer of aid
00:31:16to Israel, a transfer of aid that, as mentioned, has continued
00:31:20throughout the years of war. Security
00:31:23officials say they were surprised by the announcement of US President Donald
00:31:27Trump to stop security aid to Israel at the end of the year.
00:31:31They emphasize that the security establishment faces difficult questions
00:31:34about procurement plans, financing military purchases, whether
00:31:38Israel is ready to replace American money with Israeli
00:31:42money, reports our military correspondent Carmela.
00:31:45The security establishment expressed surprise, a senior IDF official said, "We were very surprised."
00:31:49Security officials asked questions about funding planes, helicopters
00:31:53and ammunition, and also about the continuation of joint projects
00:31:57for missile defense, Arrow, Iron Dome and David's
00:32:00Sling. However, Major General (res.) Gideon Sheffer, former head of the
00:32:04Air Force and a senior official at Elbit and the National Security Council,
00:32:08and contrary to the descriptions of surprise from senior officials
00:32:10in the system, Sheffer says that the possibility of a change in aid
00:32:14has existed for years and that the need to prepare for Israel's
00:32:17funding is not new. However, one must distinguish between general
00:32:21knowledge and knowing about the cessation of aid
00:32:24specifically at the time announced by the President of the United
00:32:27States. If we need it, we will buy it, says Sheffer, estimating
00:32:31that the cessation of aid will not significantly harm the security
00:32:34of the state. Israel will continue to purchase from the United States what it truly
00:32:38needs, but the payment in dollars will come
00:32:41from its budget. Four billion dollars, this is an amount that the state of
00:32:45Israel can afford and it will come at the expense of other
00:32:48things. According to him, some of the deals have already been funded
00:32:51by aid money, and he also emphasizes the importance of reciprocal
00:32:54purchases from the industry in Israel. Aid
00:32:58provides the IDF with a significant funding source, but it also ties a large
00:33:01part of the procurement to American
00:33:04industries. Increased investment in Israel may strengthen
00:33:07local production, expand employment and exports, and reduce
00:33:11dependence on foreign ammunition, as well as American companies.
00:33:22A security official says, "Israel will continue to need American
00:33:26platforms, and developing alternatives requires time and money."
00:33:30"Alongside planes and ammunition, we must not neglect
00:33:33the people," says
00:43:28called? If it didn't happen with another tribe, they wouldn't
00:43:32react like this. Maybe they would send representatives to the family or
00:43:35something. But the attitude towards the black person in this
00:43:39way. They kidnap him with a firearm, adults,
00:43:43and take him to some remote
00:43:46place and abuse him for several
00:43:49hours.
00:43:52What is that called? I don't know what else to
00:43:54call it. The difficult-to-watch video, in which a dark-skinned
00:43:58young man is beaten and humiliated, was circulated on social media, but
00:44:02it seems that the incident did not manage to shock those who are supposed
00:44:05to deal with the problem. Everyone in Rahat is responsible for what happened yesterday
00:44:08to the young man, everyone who saw on social media,
00:44:12parents, mothers, everyone who saw the kidnapped
00:44:14child, and did not for a moment think that it would continue, that it would be
00:44:18a chain, leading to murder, I don't know where else it will go,
00:44:21so everyone in Rahat is responsible. Traffic reports sponsored by

00:46:13about the truth and about the poison machine, about the warning
00:46:17that the President of the Emirates gave Netanyahu, and also
00:46:20about how to rise from the lowest
00:46:23point. And you forgot that there was also cancer along the way, but it ended with good
00:46:26news. Saturday night

00:47:59basketball league, it's true that it's the second division in
00:48:02Europe, but still what our Hapoel Jerusalem is doing
00:48:06there is very impressive, meanwhile it has a perfect record
00:48:09of five wins and zero losses, but tonight it
00:48:13is meeting a very difficult opponent that has the same record, which is Aris Thessaloniki
00:48:17from Greece, Yuval Zussman captain of Jerusalem is preparing for the challenging
00:48:21game. Yes, Aris is first and foremost a very, very strong
00:48:24and high-quality team, with a lot of abilities and talent in every
00:48:27position, they are aggressive, open, athletic, of course
00:48:31a very, very high-level coach, but we
00:48:34are doing the right preparation, we believe in ourselves, we know what we need to do,
00:48:38we understand the importance of this game which is probably for the top
00:48:41of the group, with our fans
00:48:42who are with us,
00:48:45we now move to football, yesterday in the Champions League, Manchester United

00:52:02Eldar publishes the biggest scoop of:
00:52:05his life. On the very same day, he discovers

00:53:30Yehuda Cola products after their deputy CEO signed a petition
00:53:34of the strikers? You beat me to it before I came to remove
00:53:37Yehuda Cola's products. Ramzi, Ramzi, what did I tell you

00:55:08register on Kan 11 and Kan Box.
00:55:23Hello, good morning, it's eight now. We have a news
00:55:25update. First, to the midterm elections in the United States,
00:55:29the Democrats gained control of both houses of the American
00:55:32Congress. Nathan Guttman, our correspondent.
00:55:39Yonatan, this is not just a blue wave, it's a blue tsunami, the Democrats
00:55:43conquered the majority in both the House of Representatives and the Senate, the vote count
00:55:46is still ongoing and the gap may still widen in the coming hours. What
00:55:50is most interesting are the states in which Democratic candidates won,
00:55:54states that were considered Republican strongholds, including
00:55:57South Carolina, Iowa and especially Texas.
