Israel Today: Ongoing War Report - 9:00 PM

US, Israel Planning Major Strikes on Iran's Energy Infrastructure
Israeli Officials Clash Over Gaza 'Board of Peace' Framework
Rabbis Urge Against 'Genocide' Label for Gaza War; US Targets ICC

This is Israel Today: Ongoing War Report. We begin with reports of a significant military escalation being planned against Iran. Multiple outlets indicate the US and Israel are preparing extensive strikes on Iranian energy infrastructure, with President Trump ordering actions aimed at forcing Tehran's surrender. Domestically, Israeli political figures are publicly debating a proposed 'Board of Peace' framework for Gaza, while US policy moves include President Trump's campaign against the International Criminal Court to protect Israeli leadership. We also cover antisemitism concerns, including a union reversing divestment demands, hate graffiti, and a statement from Maine rabbis against the use of the term 'genocide' for the Gaza war.
