1:08You're listening to Israel Today ongoing war report. I'm Noah Levi. In Israeli domestic politics, significant shifts are underway ahead of the upcoming election. Former ministers Jillard Erden and IELT shaped announced Sunday they will not participate in the race, citing the perceived absence of a viable path to form a broad unity government. Jpost.com reports Erden stated that after campaigning, it became clear most Israelis prioritize, selecting a prime minister over a unity government. And his unity party was unlikely to cross the electoral threshold. Meanwhile, a KAN news poll cited by Jpost.com projects a new party formed by Yo's handle and Yaren Zellika to cross the electoral threshold with four seats. This development could complicate government formation. As the poll suggests neither Benjamin Netanyahu's block, nor Gadi Eisenkot's block, would reach the 61 seats needed to form a majority. According to the poll, the Netanyahu block is projected at 56 seats. And the Eisenkot block at 55, both falling short

2:10when Hendel and Zellika's party is included. In election-related legal news, Israel's high court has dismissed a petition from expatriate Israelis challenging their exclusion from voter roles. Jpost.com reports. The court cited procedural grounds, stating the case was filed too late, and petitioners had not exhausted statutory appeals processes. Turning to the situation in Gaza, US envi-jard Kushner told reporters that the United States is beginning to understand the scale of Gaza's militarization, describing it as beyond your comprehension, and demilitarization will not be easy. Jpost.com reports Kushner also noted that Washington and Jerusalem agree on the desired end state for Gaza. Though he suggested Israeli political considerations, particularly an upcoming election, are making the process a little irrational. The Times of Israel also reports on the situation in Gaza, noting that a father and daughter were reportedly killed in a strike in Gaza City, which the IDF stated targeted a terror operative.

3:12In the West Bank, Israel police announced the arrest of two Israeli teenagers, suspected of involvement in recent violent attacks on the Palestinian village of Kusra, Jpost.com reports. This follows the earlier arrest of a West Bank resident in connection to the same incidents. Police stated the investigation involved testimonies and evidence collection, aiming to bring all participants to justice. Regarding regional tensions, the Times of Israel reports that a top US official indicated a nuclear deal with Iran may not be reached. Although the capability to produce a bomb might be dismantled, additionally maritime traffic in the state of Hormuz has fallen to its lowest level since May, following reported US and Iranian strikes on ships.
