The time is now 11:01 AM in New York, I'm Noa Levi and this is the latest Israel Today: Ongoing War Report.
In the conflict with Iran and its Regional Proxies, exiled Iranian opposition figure Reza Pahlavi says a US military intervention could save lives and urges the Trump administration to pull out of nuclear talks, arguing there are signs the regime is on the brink of collapse and that an attack could weaken it or accelerate its fall. He spoke on the sidelines of the Munich Security Conference, where officials from Iran are barred, and said the goal would be to expedite the regime’s downfall while the streets rise again. At the same gathering, US Senator Lindsey Graham told a gathering of Iranians that he heard their cry and is here to help them remove the regime, declaring that the Ayatollahs must go and that freedom for the Iranian people is near. Across Europe, hundreds of thousands of Iranians gathered in Munich to show solidarity with the protesters and to call for the regime’s toppling, with many displaying symbols of resistance. In Tehran, reports say 51 Iranian lawmakers warned President Raisi to suspend negotiations with the United States, insisting that the US leadership is not interested in a deal.
In the Disputed Territories (Gaza, Judea and Samaria, East Jerusalem), French prosecutors in Lyon opened an investigation into aggravated violence after a 23-year-old man, Quentin D., was found seriously injured following clashes linked to an event featuring a Palestinian activist and a protest by the identitarian feminist collective Némésis. Officials say Némésis activists unfurled a banner before a fight involving dozens of people, and Quentin was hospitalized with a severe brain injury; he has been described as brain dead, and as of now no arrests have been announced. Separately, a Times Square ad in New York highlighted that the Palestinian Authority continues to pay salaries to prisoners who killed Jews, underscoring ongoing tensions surrounding the conflict.
In Israeli Domestic Politics, a report on military prison conditions shows that normative soldiers jailed for minor offenses are housed alongside deserters and criminals, guarded by young troops with limited training. An ex-inmate who sat with Captain Tomer Eiges described being treated harshly, saying they spoke to him “like an animal,” while the IDF insists the prison is constantly monitored and overseen to prevent abuses.
