Italy halts defense deal with Israel

The time is now 8:01 AM in New York, I'm Noa Levi and this is the latest Israel Today: Ongoing War Report.

In Direct Israel-Iran Clashes, the head of Mossad said commitments will be fulfilled only after the Iranian regime is replaced, and that the mission would not be completed immediately with the end of hostilities.

In Iranian Retaliation, Iranian delegation to Islamabad for ceasefire talks faced urgent security threats en route, with officials warning of a potential attack on their aircraft; after talks concluded they returned to Tehran via an alternate route, with one aide noting that the United States is not trusted and that the regime is preparing for the next round of war; Iran described ongoing preparations while at the negotiating table and suggested negotiating teams could return to Islamabad this week.

In Regional Impacts, life in Kiryat Shmona returns to wartime normalcy as residents describe living with sirens, fear, attachment, and uncertainty, reflecting the strain of renewed conflict.

In US Policy Concerning Israel, Italy announced it will suspend automatic renewal of its defense cooperation agreement with Israel, meaning no new military training cooperation under the deal; in New York, nearly 100 far-left activists were arrested during protests demanding senators block the sale of bombs to the Israeli military; and in Washington, the Trump administration fired two judges who had blocked the deportations of anti-Israel protesters, part of a broader immigration enforcement action.

In Israeli Economy and Business, the Tax Authority extended the validity of the freeze on enforcement and collection actions due to the impact of Operation Shagat HaAri, delaying new seizures and enforcement until April 29, 2026; from April 30, 2026 enforcement will resume for all debtors except those eligible for relief under the operation, with relief extended through June 30, 2026 for those deemed eligible, and there will be online channels and a dedicated inbox for inquiries and arrangements, including special handling for reservists.

In Uplifting News, Holocaust survivors sang Am Yisrael Chai in Auschwitz to mark resilience; thousands gathered in Krakow for the March of the Living to honor survivors and teach future generations about resilience and resistance to hatred; and a Norwegian pastor’s collaboration with the Jewish community helped Jews pray in secret during the Holocaust, a testament to courage and solidarity.
