Israel Today: Ongoing War Report - September 17, 2026, 08 PM Eastern

Stay updated with Israel Today: Ongoing War Report. This episode covers the US Treasury's sanctions against the Iranian cryptocurrency exchange BitBank for its alleged role in funding the IRGC. We also examine a critical report from B'Tselem accusing Israel of dismantling Palestinian life in the West Bank, alongside the IDF's strong rejection of these claims. Diplomatic developments include the UN General Assembly approving video participation for Palestinian officials after US visa denials, and discussions on rebuilding Gaza. Domestically, Prime Minister Netanyahu frames upcoming elections as a Left vs. Right struggle, and we hear a poignant story of remembrance from a former Gaza hostage marking one year since his release.
