Netanyahu vows to seize Iran's enriched uranium
Netanyahu seeks zero US military aid funding
Abraham Foxman ADL leader dies

The time is now 9:01 PM in New York, I'm Noa Levi and this is the latest Israel Today: Ongoing War Report.

In Direct Israel-Iran Clashes, Netanyahu told CBS News' 60 Minutes that the war with Iran has achieved a great deal but is not yet over. He said there remains enriched uranium to remove, enrichment sites to dismantle, proxies that Iran supports, and ballistic missiles they want to produce, adding that there is still work to be done. When asked how Iran's supply of enriched uranium could be removed from the country, he replied, "You go in, and you take it out." He said that if there is an agreement, going in and taking it out would be the best way. Earlier on Sunday, US President Donald Trump said that the United States has Iran’s enriched uranium surveilled and is prepared to take action if it receives intelligence that action is being taken at the site, and that the United States would attain it “at some point,” with the Space Force involved.

In US Policy Concerning Israel, Netanyahu said he hopes to wean Israel off US military support within a decade as Israel pushes to strengthen ties with Gulf states, and he said he wants to draw down to zero the American financial component of the military cooperation. He noted Israel receives about $3.8 billion of US military aid a year, and the United States has agreed to provide a total of $38 billion in military aid to Israel from 2018 to 2028. He added that it is absolutely the right time to reset the US-Israeli financial relationship and that he wants to start now, not wait for the next Congress. While Israel has long had bipartisan consensus in Congress for military aid, support has frayed since the outbreak of war in Gaza in October 2023.

In Israeli Domestic Politics, in his first interview with US media since the war with Tehran began, Netanyahu denied pushing Trump toward war with overly optimistic forecasts of regime collapse, saying both leaders knew there was uncertainty and risk involved. The remarks came amid discussion of a New York Times report about his role in shaping Trump’s stance on launching the war with Iran.

In Antisemitism and Anti-Jewish Hate, Abraham Foxman, former ADL national director and Holocaust survivor, dies at 86. Foxman led the Anti-Defamation League for 27 years after surviving the Holocaust as a hidden Jewish child in Poland, and he became one of the world’s most influential voices against antisemitism and hate.
