Gideon Levy: Israeli journalist on the latest in Israel-Iran tensions, ceasefire proposed by Egypt

Author: Newstalk ZB October 27, 2024 Duration: 4:35

The Israeli-Iranian war looks to have been put on pause for now.

Egypt's president is proposing a two-day ceasefire in Gaza in exchange for hostages.

The proposal follows retaliation strikes from Israel's army on Iranian military targets, including in Tehran – killing four soliders.

Israeli journalist Gideon Levy told Tim Beveridge Iran's defence systems were likely damaged.

“If Israel would like to attack Iran again, it will be easier because the defence systems, at least part of them, are neutralised.”

Meanwhile, Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu [ben yar min / net in yahoo] has been heckled at an October 7 memorial ceremony, by relatives of Hamas victims.

Levy says any response from Iran is on pause.
