Thursday,
July 2nd, 2026. My name is Gerish Wart
and I'm your host with the news of the
last 24 hours on edge.
>> Daily report of the news of the last 24
hours powered by Yish 24 provided to you
by the click.
I'm wishing everyone a an easy and
meaningful tannis. Today the 3 weeks
begins. The talis is over today in my
about uh let's see it already ended in
London or in Europe and all the other
places people listen to me here on edge

America at least. I don't know yet in
Europe. Still finding out. A 60-day
countdown to the final US Iran deal
starts today, but the talks already
paused for the funeral. Which funeral of
Ali Kamay the and Iran is already
threatening to break the deal. Great
news from Israel. The group of missing
missing Eden wrestler have been found
safe and sound. This morning, Russia
just hit Kiev with its biggest attack of
the entire war last 5 years. We could
say 5 years already. At least 21 people
are dead. And Open AI, the chat GPT
company, is offering the US government
5% stake of the company, which is worth
about $42 billion. All this and way more
here on Edge. But first, Lemonade

So, the talks between America and Iran
in Doha are finished, and now a 60-day
clock is running to reach the final
deal. But the clock is already stopping
for a few days from July 4th to July 9th
for the funeral of Iran's Supreme Leader
Ayatah Ali Kamay and also because
America has because of the 250th
birthday. After the funeral, both sides
plan to open direct line, a hotline,
telephone line, and keep talking. A
quick reminder of who we're talking
about here.
Ayatah Ali Hamay the spiritual leader
for many Shia in Muslim in the Muslim
world was killed at basically I think 86
years old at his own compound in the
middle of Tehran on Shabaz for those of
you remember the first day of the war
the funeral was pushed off until today
because of the fighting till now he was
kept in a morg in a fridge a freezer and
Iran's parliament speaker Mahmud Galib
Muhammad Galibah the one who's
negotiating right is turning that
funeral into a rally, calling the entire
country, the whole country to show up
and demand what he called blood
vengeance. His words, "The nation's call
for vengeance must ring in the ears of
the entire world." And we know exactly
what revenge he has in mind. Just two
weeks ago, he spelled it out loud. The
true way to avenge the martyed Imam is
the liberation of Yerushim. He picked a
quite a day to threaten. I mean, I
picked the day to tell you the news.
Picked on today
is the day we mourn the walls of being
broken through. You know, we could turn
this into an opportunity.
Hashem wants us so badly that he breaks
the walls of come through it. Good way
to think of it. Anyway, point is that we
have to we have to yearn for to be built
in it in its yoy and in its beauty and
should gather us all together.
And here is what the same galibuff's
life looks like behind the scenes. The
new New York Times is reporting that
this spring, Iran gave him and foreign
minister Iraqi military escorts and kept
changing their travel plans at the last
minute after America passed along
warnings that Israel might kill the two
of them in the middle of the
negotiations. One time, Galib's plane
made an emergency landing in Mushhead.
Iranian security got word that two
Israeli fighter jets had crossed into
Iranian airspace to go after his
aircraft. So the man calling for
vengeance is the same man hiding from
Israeli jets. Israel's defense minister,
Israel Katz, sent a very clear message
to Thran. He said that Iran Supreme
Leader Mushami is marked for death. Iran
is furious. Their foreign minister
warned of an immediate and powerful
response. He even told the US to quote
muzzle its pets in Tel Aviv. The threats
are flying and as always, while the
politicians talk, the missiles the the
militaries prepare. And look who's
coming. Russia is sending former
president Limitri Medvev
as Putin's personal envoy. China, you
know the one who always speaks about
nuclear giving nuclear to Iran. China is
sending a top lawmaker, didn't name
them. India is sending its deputy
foreign minister and Pakistan's prime
minister himself, Shabbaz Sharif, who
led the talks in the peace will be there
in person around 30 countries. Yes, in
all with crowds pouring in from Iraq,
Afghanistan and Pakistan.
Iran expects up to 20 million people,
the biggest state funeral in the
country's history. The one person who
might not show up obviously is Mushami,
the son, the one and only, the new
supreme leader. He was wounded in the
same strike that killed his father, and
he hasn't been seen or heard in public
once since the war began. I guess he's
worried about the special offer, buy one
coffin, get one free, that the US and
Israel have basically coming his way if
he does indeed show up. and the two
sides are still far apart. That same
parliament speaker says international
inspectors will absolutely not be
allowed into the bombed nuclear sites.
The exact opposite of what President
Trump is demanding. Satellite pictures
show why the inspectors matter. The
tunnels at Iran's Isvahan nuclear site
are still packed shut with dirt. Iran
filled them earlier this year to protect
the enriched uranium believed to be
buried deep inside. Money is the other
fight. Iran claims that up to $3 billion
is being released for food and medicine.
And American officials say flat out that
no money is moving. And then there is
the straight of Hermus where Iran wants
to change every passing ship at all.
They want to charge, excuse me, every
passing ship at all. Claiming that the
strait is its own the straight is its
own water. It belongs to Iran. While
America and the Gulf countries insists
it's an international waterway. The
American offer on the table is corporate
and is basically like this. Cooperate
and the deal removes financial sanctions
worth a 100 times more than any toll.
Trump pointed out that 19 million
barrels of oil left the Persian Gulf
yesterday and he had he added that after
60 days he can do whatever he wants. A
member of the Iranian delegation
answered that Tehran is prepared to
destroy the American economy and despite
saying all that, yeah, the opposite is
happening. Fuel prices around the world
are falling fast. Oil is moving through
the Middle East again. Global oil prices
just had their biggest drop in 20 since
2020. And diesel saw its biggest monthly
drop in 26 years. How amazing is that,
right? Sometimes you can find light at
the end of the tunnel. On Truth Social,
Trump wrote, "Just as I promised, oil
prices are plummeting fast and gas
prices at the pump are dropping too, but
not as fast as they should be," he said.
He added, quote, "Gas prices will soon
be back to the record low prices
Americans enjoyed at the pump." He meant
his own presidency. And to mark
America's 250th birthday, a company
called the Freedom Fuel Network is
dropping prices at 25 stations around
Philadelphia on July 3rd. Trump praised
them and told other companies to do the
exact same.
The US and Israel have signed a deal for
a permanent American embassy in Urusim
and the rent is not more than $1. Yes,
that's the whole lease. 99 years $1 for
the land where America will build its
permanent embassy compound. At the
signing, Ambassador Mike Hakabe
expressed his religious beliefs
regarding the city's history, saying
that God made the decision to recognize
Jerusalem 3,800 years ago, and now
America is acknowledging it, too.
Israel's foreign minister Gdon Sar
called the United States indispensable
and no other country can even take its
space.
In Israel today marks 1,000 days since
the October 7th massacre
massacre and the families turned it into
a day of protest. The October Council,
which is a group of bereaveved families,
which are, you know, families grieving
and families of the former hostages, led
crowds to the Knesset and to the homes
of the government ministers, demanding a
state commission of inquiry into how
they allowed October 7th to happen,
something the government still hasn't
set up. A thousand days later, it got
heated. Protesters clashed with police
and accused them of using force to break
up the crowd. But most of the day was
quiet memorials, silent protests, and a
moment of silence at 10 in the morning.
Near the Gaza border, a convoy drove
through the hardhit communities. And the
Takuma administration, the government
office rebuilding the area, says the
final groups of displaced residents are
getting ready to come back home again to
their to the Yeshu. Now to the Sagis.
And this is interesting. Wednesday
evening, hundreds of vision of gathered
outside the justice ministry in to
protest the arrests of Bkarim. I said it
yesterday, I think. No chanting, no
blocked roads, just one hour of
uninterrupted to learning. They called
the cry of toy.
Listen to the cult. You can listen to it
yourself.
And inside the kesset, the big vote
happened. The basic law protecting Torah
study passed its first reading 63 votes
to 53 with Prime Minister Netanyahu
himself coming down to the to the to the
to the actual um compound to vote for
it. The law declared to study a
fundamental value of the state, the
legal shield meant to protect Bkarim
from the draft. The coalition is racing
to finish it before the Knesset
dissolves in the middle of July ahead of
the elections that must be held by the
end of October.
It's not a done deal because four
coalition members voted against it. The
legal establishment is fighting it and
the opposition promised to cancel it the
moment they form a new government. Two
more hearings and it becomes actual lawy
they call it.
Now let's talk about your shades.
Premium shades, you know, premium
windows, unbeatable, premium window
shades, unbeatable prices and zero
compromise. My home finish offers all of
these and more. Customers come back for
the prices, they come back for the
service, and they never come back for
the quality. And because they're the top
leading brand, they can allow themselves
to massproduce, which gives them the
opportunity to be cheaper than 90% of
the of their competitors. You can call
them today. They service Monty Monroe
upstate New York as well. Catskills and
even the New York City area. Ask them
about New Jersey. Hundreds of fivestar
reviews. People with happy, you know,
people are very happy with their shades.
Uh, blinds, shades, curtains.

In Gaza an Israeli drone killed Hamas
commander and four of his terrorists.
They were planning attacks on Israeli
troops. Now this strike caught them near
a hospital and a fuel station. So the
first reports out of Gaza said that
three Palestinians were killed. Turns
out those three Palestinians were
exactly this terror cell.
The Israelis also bombed a huge tunnel
infrastructure that apparently I I think
I told told you the story yesterday that
was underneath hospitals, underneath
mosques, underneath res regular schools
in the whole of Gaza, a huge tunnel for
10 years. Had Golden's body was held
there for 10 years as well. So that's
where I guess the kamas held their
hostages. Huge tunnel. They filled it up
with 30 ton of cement I think. and the
group planning Gaza's future. The board
of peace, the international body set
this is set up to run the rebuilding put
out a statement that UNRA, the UN's
Palestinian refuge agency has no place
in the new Gaza.
Now to that story from which I told you
about in the beginning,
it ended very well. baness. A group of
about 10 breastlid went missing
overnight inside the Palestinian village
of um Mukmas and for a few hours
everyone feared a kidnapping. New
reports say that the story started with
a police chase. Officers tried to pull
their car over and the group drove off
and they ended up inside the village
where their car crashed and local and
local local people local Arabs started
throwing stones at them like they
usually do in those places. They called
security forces saying that they felt
threatened and then contact was
basically lost. They lost contact with
them. The army took no chances. Special
forces, the Shinbet and a combat
helicopter went in and the roads around
the village were blocked. By morning,
every one of them was found alive and
safe. The military confirmed it. No
terror attack and no kidnapping.
Yesterday we reported the terrible
murder of Hatad Kamakib of Amos Getta in
Natanya and Wednesday which happened on
Wednesday and Wednesday Natanya said
basically wished him goodbye by making
thousands thousands of Eden walked with
the mita for 6 hours from the hospital
there. Um, Leonardo Hospital, Lani,
Laniad Hospital, which is in curious
sons, passed his med on to the to the
police say the attacker admitted to the
actual stabbing and he'll undergo
psychiatric evaluation in the coming
days.
How terrible, what a terrible tragedy.
So, let's talk about Halo. Halo 2, which
is a high functioning water. Halo O2.
Now, beat the summer heat with real
hydration. Halo 2 is a delicious high
functional pH9 plus alkaline water. It
flushes out toxins, cools inflammation,
and helps your body recover fast. Great
tasting water exactly when you need it.
Find Halo 2 at your local grocery stores
today, even in lemonade. You find it
everywhere. Halo 2, high functioning
water. A 37year-old woman from upstate
New York is facing up to 20 years in
prison for trying to fund Islamic
terrorists. The Justice Department says
that Katherine Beth Washburn, her name
is Washburn, tried to send $30,000 in
cryptocurrency to Palestinians Islamic
jihadists. Prosecutors say she made
about 80 transfers to someone she
believed was a terror fighter and wrote
a message saying she wished every day
was October 7th and she was arrested and
officially charged with supporting
terrorism.
New York is is heading up into a brutal
stretch of heat. Forecasters say that
the city could hit 100° Fahrenheit for
the first time since 2012, right before
July 4th. With a heat wave covering the
Midwest, the East, and the Northeast.
Emergency plans are active in the city.
Connecticut uh uh sorry, Connecticut
turned on its extreme heat plan, and
Mayor Zar Ramadani is catching heat of
his own. for telling New Yorkers to set
their air conditioners to 78°.
Critics want to know why regular people
should sit in 80° homes to save energy
while Time Square stays lit 24 hours a
day. And his office is obviously fully
air conditioned on the lowest number
probably. Over in Europe, the heat has
already killed more than 2,100 people,
over a thousand of France and in Spain
alone also. And a third heat wave is on
its way to England, they say. You
believe this? Terrible. Hashem finds its
way his ways to kill people via
earthquakes, wars, or maybe sometimes
heats.
Oh, isn't this isn't Isn't this a wakeup
call? Nothing happens in the world for
nothing. It's a wakeup call for every
one of us. And in our own way, I'm not
going to tell you for what. You have to
find out yourself for what. An update on
Nancy Guthrie. A lot of you have been
asking me about this news and now it
came up in the news again. Yes, the
missing 84year-old mother of the TV host
Savannah Guthrie. The FBI just says
basically says that all ransom notes
were fake, just people trying to
basically take advantage of it and grab
some money. Even so, the case is still
being investigated as a real kidnapping
for ransom. And New York City is about
to take away nearly 30,000 parking spots
for garbage bins, giant containers
called Empire bins meant to finally get
the black garbage bags and the rats off
the sidewalks. Mayor Zoran Mamani is
moving ahead with it and don't expect
those parking spots back anytime soon.
The full roll out runs until the year
2032.
Yesterday, there was an incident. Oh
well, wouldn't call it an incident. Some
people did some stunt and they crawled
up to the antenna of the Empire State
Building, some sort of proposal, an
engagement proposal on the Empire and
they put up a massive flag, something
with freedom, something about freedom.
No protest, no free Palestine, just a
freedom thing. Some, you know, peace.

Force One we told you about yesterday.
Trump used it to open the brand new
Theodore Roosevelt Presidential Library
in North Dakota, arriving on a special
train called the Freedom 250 that
followed Roosevelt's own route. At the
event, he spoke with an AI version of
Teddy Roosevelt and used the speech to
warn that China is planning to take over
the Panama Canal, promising America will
not let that happen. Listen to this.
>> Keep your nerd and remember the nation
comes first. You get
>> I know you. You get yourself.
>> Well, I appreciate those words. Those
words are fantastic. And I just want to
say it's an honor to be with you today.
We are making a little bit of a tour.
Speaking to AI, the president to
Venezuela now where the earthquake death
toll has climbed to 2,295
people dead with more than 11,000 people
injured. Morgs are full, tens of
thousands of survivors are lying in
tents
and rescue teams are calling the area a
war zone, warning that disease comes
next because there is no clean water.
America's running the recovery. The
State Department is leading it with
search and rescue teams and from Los
Angeles County Fire, more than 900
American soldiers on the ground and
military satellites mapping which
buildings are safe and where the aid
should actually go. An advanced team
from Israel military and foreign
ministry landed Wednesday to help
coordinate these search and rescue
efforts. With their help, a 43-year-old
security guard in Venezuela was actually
pulled out alive from the rubble after
being trapped under a collapsed
sevenstory building for 8 days. And they
have to they they used special cameras
to find him there. He was still alive.
They're trying they're still trying to I
think they recovered him already, but
they were trying to do it for 3 days.
All of this is testing the brand new
relationship between Washington and
Karakas and Venezuela. Remember back in
January, right, the American military
forcefully removed Maduro after he
cheated in the 2024 elections and after
he became a threat to the United States
of America and Vice President Deli
Rodriguez took over. Many Venezuelans
are furious at the new government saying
it completely failed the rescue and
there is political fight on the top of
the rubble as well. Maria Corana
Mashado, the opposition leader whose
party defeated Maduru is trying to come
home to help and she can't get in. One
plane was to was turned around in
mid-flight over a miscommunication with
the US and on Sunday an airliner blocked
her from boarding a flight from Panama.
She says the regime closed the
Venezuelan regime Maduro closed the
airspace to keep her out and to keep out
rescue teams as well and journalists.
The Trump administration sees it
differently. Officials are calling her
return attempt political opportunism,
saying she wants a photo op with the
aid. Officially, America is taking no
side on whether she goes back, and
everyone expects her to try again soon.
Russia just hit Kiev with the biggest
attack of the entire war. They say at
least 21 people are dead, including
children. Close to 90 are hurt, and the
numbers are still climbing. Russia fired
74 missiles and ballistic missiles over
over 500 drones in one night. 28 of them
ballistic missiles, like I said, and the
most ever fired at the capital in a
single attack. President Zilinski warned
the public hours in advance that massive
strikes was that that a massive strike
was coming and a record 52,000 people
spent the night deep inside the subway
stations while the explosions went on
above them. Ukraine hit back that same
night, striking one of Russia's biggest
oil refineries east of Moscow, setting
it on fire along with more more drone
attacks deep inside Russia and occupied
Crimea. Military and analysts say that
Russia is already preparing the next
round of cruise missiles. A listener
asked me a good question. How was I so
confident saying that Putin would never
drop a nuclear bomb on Ukraine? So, let
me explain my thinking first. It's not
like sending another missile even if
Russia, even in Russia, one man can't
just press a button, right? Launching a
nuclear weapon goes through a chain.
Codes, authorizations, top military
officials who all have have to go along
with it, you know, have to agree.
Second, a nuclear bomb doesn't stay
where you drop it. The poison in the air
drifts wherever the wind takes it,
including right back over Russia's own
border.
He'd be poisoning land he claims belongs
to him himself. Third, the whole world
flips on him in one second. Not just
America and Europe. Even his own
friends, China and India both warned him
publicly. No nuclear weapons. He'd lose
the only partners he has left. And of
course, the other country, the other
nuclear powers would have to respond.
And nobody, including Putin, wants to
find out what that looks like. So that's
why I said it with confidence. And he
can threaten all day, but that's a line
that costs him everything. So nuclear
powers today have a very very uh it's
not really so powerful at at the end.
It's not such a powerful threat because
of these threats because it's
essentially a threat to themselves
besides a crazy regime like Iran who we
can't trust and they could that that's
what they want. They want to use it.
They would use it. No, no questions
asked. Even if it affects them, they
would die to use it. Syria has its first
parliament um since Assad fell. 210
seats, 140 chosen through local
elections over the past month and 70
picked personally by the president
himself. President is Ahmed al-Shara,
the man who used to be going he used to
go by his war name, Al Gulani, back when
he was he led an armed Islamic group
tied to al-Qaeda, same group that threw
Assad out. Among his picks are those
about 15 women, which is very unusual
for an Islamic country, but he's doing
it as a sign that he wants to be a
democratic country again. The parliament
holds its first session on Monday.
Syrian foreign minister also traveled to
Beirut right after President Trump
suggested Syria should fight. He met
Lebanese President Joseph Aun. And then
Parliament Speaker um Nabi Berry, one of
allies. In Thailand, an 11-year-old boy
got behind the wheel of his parents'
pickup truck and drove it into a
procession of Buddhists, Buddhist monks.
At least eight of the monks were killed
and 14 others were hurt. 10 of them
seriously.
O Tatisa. What a terrible story that
was.
Anyway, let's continue. The answer is
yes. If you ask me why Capital Group,

the company behind chat GPT just offered
the US government 5% of itself that
stake is worth about $42 billion
CEO Sam Alman's pitch is simple. Let the
public own a piece of the AI companies
so that the public shares the wealth
with that AI creates and Washington
eases the pressure on the industry as
well. Under his plan, the government
would hold 5% of every top American AI
company anthropic Google Meta through a
special public fund and nobody has
agreed yet. Not the White House and not
the other companies.
So we will see what happens. In the
meantime, have an easy and meaningful
fast all of you and may we be z to see
these three weeks turn into days of and
into a yam.
We'll see you again tomorrow. Your host,
