Israel Today: Ongoing War Report - September 30, 2026, 01 AM Eastern

On today's Israel Today: Ongoing War Report, we lead with U2 frontman Bono's controversial comparison of Israeli National Security Minister Itamar Ben-Gvir's remarks about Gaza residents to Nazi architect Heinrich Himmler. We also cover European nations implementing trade bans on West Bank settlements, drawing protest from thousands of Christians and strong condemnation from Israel. In Canada, concerns over increasing antisemitism are leading some Jewish residents to consider emigration, prompting US Republican officials to suggest offering refugee status. Finally, New York City Mayor Zohran Mamdani pledges to combat antisemitism, though his strategy may not include a formal definition.
