You're listening to Israel Today ongoing war report. I'm Noah Levi.
2
00:00:12.130 --> 00:00:15.410
A significant escalation occurred over the weekend as a missile
3
00:00:15.429 --> 00:00:19.690
attack struck King Khalid Airport in Riyadh, Saudi Arabia, killing
4
00:00:19.690 --> 00:00:23.850
12 people and injuring over 300. The Jerusalem Post reports
5
00:00:23.910 --> 00:00:26.949
this marks Saudi Arabia's most serious attack in a decade
6
00:00:27.449 --> 00:00:31.179
amidst its ongoing battle with the Houthis. The situation also
7
00:00:31.239 --> 00:00:35.969
touches upon international diplomacy, with reports indicating President Donald Trump's
8
00:00:36.030 --> 00:00:41.049
transactional foreign policy approach may influence direct US military intervention,
9
00:00:41.670 --> 00:00:45.350
particularly as Saudi Arabia has resisted joining the Abraham Accords.
10
00:00:45.869 --> 00:00:50.909
In parallel, tensions remain high regarding maritime security. Iran's chief
11
00:00:50.950 --> 00:00:55.340
security official, Mohsen Rezi, stated that the United States' response
12
00:00:55.420 --> 00:00:58.759
to Iran's seven conditions for reopening the strategic Strait of
13
00:00:58.799 --> 00:01:03.359
Hormuz was insufficient. Razi told state media that further negotiations
14
00:01:03.380 --> 00:01:07.269
would not take place until Iran's conditions are met. The
15
00:01:07.310 --> 00:01:10.269
Strait of Hormuz is a critical conduit for approximately a
16
00:01:10.329 --> 00:01:13.870
fifth of the world's oil and liquefied natural gas. Turning
17
00:01:13.909 --> 00:01:18.439
to the crucial US-Israel relationship, former National Security Advisor Phil
18
00:01:18.459 --> 00:01:20.900
Gordon issued a stark warning in an interview with the
19
00:01:20.920 --> 00:01:24.959
Jerusalem Post. Gordon believes ties have collapsed and may be
20
00:01:25.099 --> 00:01:29.079
irreparably damaged, citing a dramatic decline in American support for
21
00:01:29.140 --> 00:01:33.000
Israel over the past year. He suggested this deterioration could
22
00:01:33.040 --> 00:01:37.019
prove permanent. From Gaza, the Israeli military has released new
23
00:01:37.060 --> 00:01:40.980
intelligence and footage asserting that Hamas continues to use Kamel
24
00:01:41.049 --> 00:01:45.510
Adwan Hospital in Jabalia, northern Gaza, and its surrounding area
25
00:01:45.530 --> 00:01:49.689
for military activities. According to the military, Hamas terrorists are
26
00:01:49.709 --> 00:01:54.150
planning attacks and rebuilding capabilities, exploiting the presence of patients,
27
00:01:54.430 --> 00:01:58.049
medical personnel and civilians as cover. This follows a December
28
00:01:58.049 --> 00:02:03.780
2024 operation, where Israeli forces reportedly discovered weapons and detained
29
00:02:03.859 --> 00:02:08.319
over 240 terrorists at the facility. Globally, analysis of recent
30
00:02:08.360 --> 00:02:12.639
pro-Palestinian protests suggests they were coordinated in advance by the
31
00:02:12.680 --> 00:02:17.439
London-based Global Alliance for Palestine, or GAFP. This coalition of
32
00:02:17.479 --> 00:02:22.879
around 200 organisations, reportedly prepared campaign slogans, media messaging and
33
00:02:22.939 --> 00:02:27.449
protest tactics, aiming to shut down city squares, encircle government
34
00:02:27.469 --> 00:02:31.629
buildings and blockade corporate hubs, according to documents reviewed by
35
00:02:31.650 --> 00:02:35.870
the Jerusalem Post. Meanwhile on social media, a notable trend
36
00:02:35.889 --> 00:02:39.530
has emerged on X, with hundreds of non-Jewish users publicly
37
00:02:39.560 --> 00:02:45.750
declaring themselves Zionist over the past week, following a recognisable template. Domestically,
38
00:02:45.949 --> 00:02:49.189
Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu has demanded that the justice system
39
00:02:49.289 --> 00:02:54.289
prosecute participants in the NAZA documentary. In a letter, Netanyahu
40
00:02:54.310 --> 00:02:59.069
cited severe security offences, criminal defamation and damage to Israel's
41
00:02:59.110 --> 00:03:04.520
diplomatic and security interests, stating the film severely damages Israel's standing.
42
00:03:04.939 --> 00:03:09.280
This demand comes as a counter-documentary, NAZA, The Real Story,
43
00:03:09.699 --> 00:03:14.039
was released to rebut the original film's allegations. In other developments,
44
00:03:14.240 --> 00:03:18.319
the investigation into an alleged fly-due-by-terror plot is reportedly widening,
45
00:03:18.759 --> 00:03:22.800
with the arrest of two additional Maldivian copilots. Reports indicate
46
00:03:22.840 --> 00:03:27.530
they knew the principal suspect and had previously flown to Israel. Separately,
47
00:03:27.729 --> 00:03:31.009
a passenger was arrested in a Fula after allegedly assaulting
48
00:03:31.030 --> 00:03:34.949
a bus driver and using racial slurs. For continuing coverage
