On today's Israel Today: Ongoing War Report, we examine the US State Department's approval of a potential $24.3 billion F-35 fighter jet sale to Saudi Arabia, detailing expert concerns over Israel's military edge and regional security. We also report on antisemitism allegations that surfaced during Sweden's recent tight election, including ties to a far-right party. Finally, we hear from former Gaza hostage Bar Kupershtein as he marked one year since his release with a prayer service, reflecting on faith, the public's support, and the duty to remember all captives.
