HEADLINESSaudi Source Demands Iran Regime Change NowUS Deploys Four Carrier Groups Near IranShaked Calls Bennett-Liberman Union to Topple NetanyahuThe time is now 4:01 PM in New York, I'm Noa Levi and this is the latest Israel Today: Ongoing War Report.In the conflict with Iran and its Regional Proxies, a Saudi royal family source told reporters that the path forward has shifted from limited military action to a fundamental regime change, beginning with the removal of Supreme Leader Ayatollah Ali Khamenei. The source said the regime must be eliminated one by one, and that the only solution is to change the regime in Iran in one way or another. They added that if the regime is overthrown, a strong government must rise that can concentrate power securely and avoid a weak technocratic model like that in Iraq. With protesters losing faith in outside options, the plan emphasizes removing top leadership first, starting with Khamenei, followed by elections. The source also noted that Crown Prince Reza Pahlavi is apparently not acceptable to the majority of Iranians.In the Disputed Territories (Gaza, Judea and Samaria, East Jerusalem), at the Berlin Film Festival a Palestinian-Syrian filmmaker Abdallah Al-Khatib charged Germany with being “partners in the genocide in Gaza by Israel,” prompting the German Environment Minister to walk out of the ceremony. The remarks highlighted controversy over Gaza and the festival’s stance on the war. The minister’s departure underscored a charged moment at the ceremony. Separately, a delegation of 26 UN ambassadors visited border communities near Gaza on an information tour that began at Auschwitz and concluded near the Gaza border, observing aid trucks and vowing never to forget what happened there or who was responsible.In US Policy Concerning Israel, analysts say the United States is mounting the largest military buildup in the Middle East since 2003, with four carrier strike groups in the wider region and roughly a dozen guided-missile destroyers deployed nearby. The posture signals a possible strike on Iran and has some analysts foreseeing regime change within weeks, though timelines remain uncertain. At the same time, talks appear to be moving forward on a nuclear track, with reports that nuclear negotiations with Iran are set for Thursday, described as a narrow diplomatic window that may offer Tehran a final chance before a broader US-Israeli military operation.In Israeli Domestic Politics, health officials say Israel’s health services are preparing for war by adapting medical care during emergencies, directing clinics without proper shelter to redirect patients to secure facilities and expanding telehealth so care can continue at home when needed. The plan prioritizes vulnerable groups and expands remote care as power reliability becomes a concern. Authorities have provided about 2,400 complex ventilated patients with personal generators capable of powering essential equipment for up to 72 hours, and these patients will be contacted if outages occur. On the political front, former justice minister Ayelet Shaked called for a right-wing alliance between Bennett and Liberman to offer a stronger alternative for right-wing voters, arguing Netanyahu should go home.In Uplifting News, Maccabi Tel Aviv captured the 47th Israel State Cup with a 109-90 victory over Bnei Herzliya, as Roman Sorkin paced the offense in the first half and Jaylen Hoard carried the scoring load after halftime. Hoard finished with 20 points, Blatt added 14 and eight assists, and Sorkin totaled 25 points to push the yellow-and-blue to the title in front of President Isaac Herzog.Thank you for tuning in to this Israel Today: Ongoing War Report update.I'm Noa Levi.
