Speaker 1: The time is now eight one am in New York.
Speaker 1: I'm Noah Levi and this is the latest Israel Today
Speaker 1: ongoing war report in the conflict with Iran and its
Speaker 1: regional proxies. Reports indicate two developments. First, there are reports
Speaker 1: of the downing of an American drone over Marib Province
Speaker 1: in Yemen. Second, Hesberlah says its use of explosive drones
Speaker 1: has sharply declined, with three drones used yesterday, nine on
Speaker 1: May twenty seven, thirteen on May twenty six, eleven or
Speaker 1: May twenty five, and only one so far today. In
Speaker 1: US policy concerning Israel, Bruce Blakeman, the New York Republican
Speaker 1: gubernatorial candidate endorsed by President Trump, attended Thursday's Israeli Real
Speaker 1: Estate Expo in Midtown Manhattan to show his support for
Speaker 1: Israel and investment. He was among hundreds at the day
Speaker 1: long event. In the evening, as has become routine at
Speaker 1: similar events in the five boroughs of protesters gathered, Blakeman joked,
Speaker 1: they'll have two places they'll want to live in both.
Speaker 1: Throughout the day, representatives from dozens of Israeli real estate
Speaker 1: companies handed out pamphlets and information about properties for sale.
Speaker 1: Some of the properties being shown were in Jewish neighborhoods
Speaker 1: in Eastern Jerusalem, which many countries consider illegal. Blakeman trailed
Speaker 1: Hotchell by sixteen percentage points in Sienna's late April poll.
Speaker 1: Hotchell has pushed statewide Buffer's oonne legislation. In Israeli domestic politics,
Speaker 1: Israel is described in an opinion piece as losing the
Speaker 1: information war, with the author arguing that Israel rarely tries
Speaker 1: to engage public diplomacy and did not counter a New
Speaker 1: York Times column about month or Amira, leaving the impression
Speaker 1: that the government did not respond. The Peace emphasizes that
Speaker 1: Israel didn't try. Separately, another analysis notes that as Israel
Speaker 1: enters election season, opponents face a math problem. A leaked
Speaker 1: recording of Yegoland suggests he does not rule out forming
Speaker 1: a coalition with Harry parties, saying he would vote in
Speaker 1: favor if the government could be built without the LACUD,
Speaker 1: the Religious Zionist Party and Otzma yehued It, while criticizing
Speaker 1: rapid mass conscription as populism. In antisemitism and anti Jewish
Speaker 1: hate activists protest a Jerusalem real estate event in Manhattan,
Speaker 1: chanting statements such as from the water to the water,
Speaker 1: Palestine is Arab and brick by brick, wall by wall,
Speaker 1: Zionism will fall. Protesters affiliated with Pallorder and y slash
Speaker 1: Enjay waived a terrorist flag, and one participant wore a
Speaker 1: martyr poster in support of a deceased Palestinian Islamic jihad Gunman.
Speaker 1: Security barriers around the event were a focus of confrontations
Speaker 1: with police as protesters argued against Israeli control of Jerusalem.
Speaker 1: The organizers characterized the event as an illegal land sale.
Speaker 1: In Uplifting News, charity on Jay Gibbs's platform rose two
Speaker 1: hundred percent after October seven, signaling a shift to online giving.
Speaker 1: Donations from diaspora donors through jaygiv increased two hundred per
Speaker 1: cent since October seven, while donations from within Israel rose
Speaker 1: two hundred and twenty six per cent in the same period.
Speaker 1: About four hundred million nis were donated through jagiv in
Speaker 1: twenty twenty five, with one hundred and twenty five million
Speaker 1: Nis coming from diaspora sources. One in two Israelis donates
Speaker 1: at least once a year, and one in five do
Speaker 1: so online. Jaegif founder Orri Ben Schlomo said donors in
Speaker 1: New York, London and Toronto are now giving directly alongside
Speaker 1: Israeli's in real time, with transparency and more of every
Speaker 1: dollar reaching its goals. Thank you for tuning in to
Speaker 1: this Israel Today. Ongoing war report update, I'm Noah Levi.
