Israel Today: Ongoing War Report - Update from 2025-09-23 at 13:07

HEADLINESIDF tightens Gaza City encirclement, evacuations surgeAbbas unveils UN-backed Gaza governance planFrance recognizes State of Palestine, reshapes diplomacyThe time is now 10:01 AM in New York, I'm Noa Levi and this is the latest Israel Today: Ongoing War Report.This is the 10:00 AM update on events shaping Israel, Gaza, and the wider region.The Israeli Defense Forces have tightened their operation around Gaza City as part of Operation Gideon’s Chariots II. Officials say the encirclement comes after an intensive phase in which roughly 600,000 Gaza City residents have already evacuated, with IDF units moving deeper into the city and preparing for further combat operations. The battle for Gaza City continues to unfold as civilians flee evactuations surge, underscoring the humanitarian toll of a campaign that Israel says is aimed at degrading Hamas’s ability to wage war and to prevent further hostages from being seized or harmed.In parallel, Israel’s border posture remains in flux. The Allenby Bridge, the main crossing between Jordan and the West Bank, is being shut to passenger and cargo traffic from the Israeli side starting Wednesday, with Jordan confirming a two-way closure as investigations into a recent terror incident proceed. The disruption adds another layer of pressure on the region’s already complicated transit and security dynamics as Israel seeks to manage the war while maintaining regional ties.On the political front, a marked shift is evident in the Palestinian arena. In a highly watched address to the United Nations, President Mahmoud Abbas outlined a roadmap built around a permanent ceasefire, the delivery of humanitarian aid through UN channels, and a transition in Gaza that would place governance in the hands of a Palestinian Authority security apparatus, with Hamas disarmed and excluded from future governance. Abbas stressed that the State of Palestine should take on full governance and security responsibilities in Gaza and the West Bank under international oversight, with elections and a constitutional framework to be established after the war ends. He reaffirmed condemnation of violence and occupation while insisting that peace must be rooted in the two‑state solution, with East Jerusalem as the capital of a Palestinian state.In a parallel diplomatic surge, France formally recognized the State of Palestine, framing the move as a step toward peace and a dismantling of Hamas’s capacity to provoke renewed violence. French President Emmanuel Macron argued that recognizing a Palestinian state is the only path to lasting security for Israelis and Palestinians alike and called on other nations to follow suit. The declaration was presented as part of a broader international effort to mobilize recognitions and lay groundwork for negotiations, with France signaling readiness to participate in stabilizing and rebuilding Gaza in coordination with regional and international partners once conditions allow.The United States, under President Donald Trump, has signaled a parallel emphasis on “peace through strength” and a renewed American role on the world stage. In advance of his anticipated remarks at the United Nations General Assembly, Trump is expected to criticize moves to recognize a Palestinian state while highlighting US efforts to end conflicts and to portray a restored American influence as essential to regional stability. Officials reference Trump’s prior emphasis on defeating terrorism and reducing conflicts through robust security measures, including operational efforts against Iran’s nuclear program and its regional proxies, and a commitment to backing Israel’s security in its battles against Hamas. The administration stresses that any credible path to peace must ensure the release of hostages and the end of Hamas’s operative capabilities, while supporting broader regional diplomacy.Security developments continue to reverberate beyond Gaza. NATO condemned Russia for breaching Estonian airspace and asserted that allies will employ all necessary means to defend themselves and deter threats from all directions. While the specific confrontation remains distant from the Gaza front, the statement underscores the wider geopolitical frame in which Israeli security operates: a multilateral system oriented toward deterring aggression and supporting allies in volatile theaters.Within Israel, domestic concerns persist alongside wartime duties. A number of events have drawn attention to the social fabric and the civilian impact of the conflict: as Rosh Hashanah approaches, communities prepare for holiday observances amid security operations and heightened sensitivities; the ongoing conflict has spurred a range of responses from political leaders, faith communities, and civil society. The domestic narrative emphasizes the need for resilience, the protection of civilians, and the pursuit of a durable security framework that can coexist with the political and humanitarian imperatives of a potential ceasefire and reconstruction.In other security-related news from the region, authorities are monitoring developments tied to broader regional dynamics, including the posture of Iran and its proxies, the status of allied groups like Hezbollah, and shifting alliances that could influence future security calculations. While specific operational updates vary by day, the overarching theme remains: the war in Gaza is part of a larger regional mosaic in which actions in one theater reverberate across the Middle East and beyond. Observers stress that any lasting resolution will require careful negotiation, verifiable commitments on hostages, and a clear mechanism for the disarmament and containment of non-state actors that have sustained decades of conflict in the region.As these events unfold, the international community continues to press for a ceasefire and an orderly transition that protects civilians and enables humanitarian relief. The questions before the region remain: Can a sustainable, verifiable ceasefire coexist with a credible strategy to prevent Hamas from reclaiming operational capacity? Will the international diplomacy surrounding recognitions, interim governance, and reconstruction converge on a framework that preserves Israel’s security while fulfilling Palestinian aspirations for statehood? And how will the actions of major powers shape the timeline and texture of any durable peace process?That, for now, is the landscape as the day proceeds: a battlefield on the ground, a web of diplomatic moves in capitals from Paris to Washington, and a security calculus in which both Israelis and Palestinians seek a future in which security and dignity are finally realized, and where hosts of civilians can live with the promise of safety and opportunity. This is the best possible effort to convey the current state of play: a persistent challenge that demands steadfast resolve, rigorous diplomacy, and a commitment to peace that can endure beyond the next timetable or crisis.Thank you for tuning in to this Israel Today: Ongoing War Report update.I'm Noa Levi.

HEADLINES- Israel US alliance strengthens amid fragile ceasefire- Gaza sweep tightens as 48 hostages remain- Iran proxies under strain shift Middle EastThe time is now 9:00 AM in New York, I'm Noa Levi and this is the latest Israel Today: Ongoing War Report.This is the 9:00 AM update. A fragile pause remains in the wider conflict as Israel and Iran navigate what officials describe as an uneasy ceasefire, with diplomacy and deterrence reinforcing a tense standoff. Washington’s administration under President Trump has signaled a steady, close partnership with Israel, stressing a policy of peace through strength and a shared aim to deter aggression while pursuing a path to stability in a volatile region. In parallel, France and Saudi Arabia issued a joint warning that any form of annexation by Israel would cross a red line in the international arena, urging leaders to renew commitment to a two‑state framework and to end settlement activity and violence. Throughout Europe, the mood is to test and press for a durable arrangement that could avert broader war, even as some Western capitals privately caution Israel against moves that could complicate hostage releases and diplomatic gains.On the ground in Gaza, the Israeli military continues a sweeping operation in and around Gaza City as part of an intensified campaign. Israeli forces have reportedly secured and cleared key urban spaces while attempting to preserve humanitarian access, even as the civilian toll remains heavy and the hostage crisis persists. Officials describe Hamas as being under pressure and fragmented, with the group’s leadership under strain as troops advance and civilian evacuations intensify. The hostage situation, with 48 individuals still held, remains a defining factor shaping both strategic calculations and international humanitarian efforts. The Israeli security objective remains clear: restore security for Israeli civilians while seeking the quickest possible path to the return of hostages, through negotiations and pressure that do not endanger civilians.In Lebanon, the Hezbollah challenge is being framed as a national security issue for Lebanon itself. Lebanese authorities have reiterated their commitment to the ceasefire and to sovereignty, emphasizing that their armed forces’ role is to defend Lebanon and its people rather than to act as a border shield for any external group. The discussions have sharpened around the presence and influence of Iranian proxies, with Beirut signaling a renewed insistence on accountability and compensation for victims of regional hostilities. The cross-border security environment remains fragile, and questions persist about how to reconcile Lebanon’s security needs with regional dynamics and internal political pressures.Iran’s network of proxies in the region is facing increased scrutiny and pressure. In Syria, analysts describe a degraded posture for Tehran’s allied forces amid shifting power dynamics and shifting allegiances, with questions about the future configuration of governance in Syria following long-standing conflict. The broader arc concerns Iran’s ability to project influence through its proxies and the implications for regional stability, including how this affects Israeli security calculations and the prospect for a sustainable peace process.In Yemen, Houthis continue to launch attacks that threaten shipping lanes and energy corridors in the region. The ongoing attacks contribute to a broader maritime security challenge and underscore the complexity of the conflict that stretches well beyond the immediate borders of Israel and its neighbors. The international response underscores a steady interest in preventing escalation that could threaten global trade and humanitarian access, while also keeping attention on the humanitarian conditions inside Gaza and the plight of hostages.International actions and diplomacy continue to shape the environment. The United States has expanded its pressure by offering a substantial reward for information about a senior Hezbollah figure tied to the Ta'laqi network, underscoring Washington’s focus on cutting off support structures for militant groups and reinforcing a policy of accountability. In parallel, Western capitals have pressed Israel to avoid unilateral steps that could complicate peace prospects, even as some governments seek enhancements to security cooperation and new stability plans for the Palestinian Authority as part of a broader stabilization approach.Security and intelligence developments outside the immediate conflict area also feature in today’s briefing. In New York, the US Secret Service announced the disruption of a sophisticated covert network that could have disrupted communications around the United Nations General Assembly. The operation involved thousands of SIM cards and hundreds of servers capable of enabling encrypted messaging and mass SMS traffic, posing a potential threat to security communications during a high-profile international gathering. Investigators stressed that there is no proven link between the incident and the UN assembly itself, but the episode highlights the continuing importance of safeguarding critical infrastructure during times of global attention.Europe also weighed in on public health and policy matters. The European Commission addressed comments from statements suggesting a link between a widely used medication and autism, noting that there is no evidence at this time to warrant changes to recommended usage. The issue remains on the radar of health authorities as policymakers balance science with public concerns.Domestically, Israel’s government announced the closure of the Allenby crossing with Jordan starting Wednesday and continuing until further notice, a move officials described as a security precaution reflecting the ongoing tensions in the region. The decision adds another layer to the daily life of Israelis and Palestinians who rely on cross-border movement for family, commerce, and humanitarian needs, and it will be monitored closely for humanitarian and diplomatic repercussions.Beyond the conflict, the cultural and political discourse continues to move in multiple directions. In Britain, a prominent right-wing figure commented on supporters of Hamas in the UK, underscoring the global polarization surrounding the conflict. Debates about media influence, celebrity involvement, and international responses to the war in Gaza persist, illustrating how cultural voices intersect with security concerns in a charged international climate.In a separate domestic development, Poland decided to open its borders with Belarus, reflecting shifts in regional security and migration policies that interact with broader European strategic considerations. In adjacent news, a Canadian funeral services company highlighted a mushroom-based approach to coffins and urns as an eco-friendly alternative, illustrating the growing market for sustainable end-of-life options in a world contending with climate and resource constraints.Looking ahead, the international community continues leaning toward a combination of deterrence, humanitarian relief, and a re-energized push for a negotiated two-state outcome. The United States remains engaged with its partners, prioritizing security for Israel, support for hostage relief efforts, and a peaceful resolution that guards civilian lives while addressing legitimate security concerns. In Israel, Prime Minister Netanyahu’s posture on the West Bank and potential annexation discussions is expected to feature in conversations with President Trump during their upcoming White House meeting, underscoring the enduring tension between strategic security calculations and evolving diplomatic pressures from allies and partners alike. As hostilities persist and diplomacy evolves, the fundamental question remains: how to secure lasting peace while preventing further suffering on all sides.

HEADLINESFragile Israel Iran ceasefire tests deterrenceSyria forms first parliament since Assad fallPalestinian state recognition gains global momentumThe time is now 8:00 AM in New York, I'm Noa Levi and this is the latest Israel Today: Ongoing War Report.This is the 8:00 AM news update. The uneasy ceasefire between Israel and Iran remains fragile as competing security calculations and international efforts shape the path ahead. Across capitals, officials and diplomats are weighing a range of options that would provide durable deterrence while seeking to avoid a wider confrontation. In the United States, the administration has reiterated support for Israel’s security while underscoring the goal of preventing further escalation, a stance historically associated with the peace-through-strength approach advanced during the Trump administration as a framework for close coordination with Israel to pursue security and stability in the region.In Syria, the government is moving to establish the first parliament since the fall of Bashar al-Assad, a milestone seen by many as a test of inclusivity amid a long war. Regional committees have chosen electoral colleges to elect two-thirds of the 210-member People’s Assembly on October 5; the remaining third will be appointed by President Ahmed al-Sharaa. Officials note the system aims to address data gaps and displacement, though critics warn it could constrain broader political participation and reconciliation.Lebanon faces continued pressure related to its security balance and the role of Hezbollah. While the group’s influence has been challenged by the ongoing conflict dynamics in the region, observers say Lebanon’s political and security institutions are seeking ways to reassert control and limit beyond-the-state armed influence. The military and security sectors in Lebanon remain deeply intertwined with regional rivalries, complicating efforts to stabilize the border area and governance in the south.In Gaza, Hamas has faced significant strain amid sustained Israeli pressure and the operational realities of a protracted war. The group has moved to suppress rival elements and those accused of aiding Israel, reflecting a broader effort to consolidate control as the battlefield shifts. The hostage issue remains a central, painful concern for families and for the broader international effort to secure a path to release or exchange arrangements, even as fighting continues in various districts of Gaza City and its surroundings.Across the region, the Israeli military continues to emphasize readiness and deterrence as operations on the ground in Gaza persist. The humanitarian and security dimensions are tightly linked, with civilians bearing the human costs of the campaign and emergency response services working to reach those in need under difficult conditions. Several Western governments have signaled willingness to assist Gaza-bound patients who might require care in the West Bank, a proposal Israel has previously scrutinized carefully in light of security considerations.In the broader security arena, the North Atlantic Treaty Organization condemned Russia for violating Estonian airspace, calling the incident part of a pattern of escalatory actions and vowing to defend itself and its partners. The episode underscores the ongoing volatility of European security dynamics as alliance members monitor risk to civilian and critical infrastructure from external provocations.Diplomatic discussions around Iran’s nuclear program continue on the sidelines of meetings at the United Nations. Iran and European powers are negotiating in an effort to prevent a fresh round of UN sanctions while pursuing what Tehran describes as its peaceful nuclear ambitions. Separately, Iran’s government has asserted that 60 percent enriched uranium remains buried under rubble and inaccessible, a detail that complicates outside assessments of its nuclear capabilities.A global wave of Palestinian state recognition is gaining momentum, with France, Belgium and other European Union members joining the United Kingdom and several partners in signaling support for a path that could reshape the debate over a two-state solution. The shift reflects a changing international posture as governments reassess long-standing questions about sovereignty, borders, and security in the region.On the humanitarian front, Western nations have offered to help treat Gaza patients in the West Bank, a stance Israel has previously questioned on security grounds. The issue remains delicate as authorities balance urgent medical needs with concerns about security disruptions and the potential for movement bottlenecks in and out of Gaza.Security developments outside the immediate Gaza context include a sophisticated network of equipment detected in New York aimed at disabling a cellular network during a UN General Assembly gathering. The finding has raised alarms about resilience of communications during major international events and the protection of emergency services.Cultural and human-interest stories offer a counterweight to the headlines. A new exhibit at the Museum of Islamic Art, titled Love Stories, is presented as a reminder of resilience and humanity amid security challenges. In the arts, Avner Bar Hama’s work is highlighted as an example of artistic depth and soul, reflecting the enduring human dimension of life even in times of strain.Domestic Israeli notes from this period include reporting of several local incidents: a 17-year-old rider injured in Abu Gosh after a traffic collision, a 37-year-old woman injured in a road crash near the Sea of Galilee, and a 30-year-old man who suffered significant injuries in a two-vehicle crash in Tiberias, all treated by emergency responders and transported to hospitals for care. In parallel, neighboring regional militaries continue to participate in and adjust to shifting security arrangements, with the Egyptian navy sending units to Turkey for a joint naval exercise—the first such collaboration in 13 years.As life persists alongside conflict, people in northern Israel and border towns are counting on a steady return to normalcy—rehabilitation of communities, rebuilding of local economies, and the restoration of daily routines. Culinary life and cultural events in places like Kibbutz Be’eri and Tel Aviv’s whisky scene illustrate a society seeking continuity and renewal even as security concerns shape daily decisions.This is your 8:00 AM update. We will continue to monitor developments across the region, including political transitions in Syria, shifts in Lebanon’s security landscape, the status of Hamas and hostages in Gaza, international diplomacy around Iran, and the evolving posture of global powers in response to the ongoing crisis. We will bring you further details as events unfold.Thank you for tuning in to this Israel Today: Ongoing War Report update.I'm Noa Levi.

HEADLINESGaza City offensive intensifies hostages in dangerGlobal backers back Palestinian state two-state pathSyria forms new parliament in post-Assad shiftThe time is now 7:00 AM in New York, I'm Noa Levi and this is the latest Israel Today: Ongoing War Report.Good morning. Here is your 7:00 a.m. regional update on the conflict, diplomacy, and related developments.Israel’s military operations in Gaza continue to push toward the most densely populated areas of Gaza City as the ground phase remains active. The fighting underscores a grim reality for Gazans that even as a broad diplomatic shift—world leaders recognizing a Palestinian state—gathers momentum at the United Nations, the immediate humanitarian and security concerns in Gaza persist. The recognition by Western governments does not equate to an end to the conflict or to relief on the ground, and civilians remain exposed to the risks of an ongoing offensive.In broader diplomacy, a global wave recognizing a Palestinian state has gained momentum. France, Belgium, and other European Union members have joined the United Kingdom and additional EU states in backing a pathway toward a two-state solution, signaling a significant shift in international posture as governments recalibrate their approach to the Israeli-Palestinian dispute.In a related humanitarian note, Western governments have offered proposals to allow Gazans to seek medical treatment in the West Bank or East Jerusalem. Israel has previously rejected such proposals on security grounds, and such discussions reflect ongoing tensions over access to care for civilians caught in the conflict, even as medical needs rise amid heavy fighting.On the Syrian front, authorities are moving to establish a new parliament, a milestone in the transition away from direct rule by Bashar al-Assad. Regional committees have selected electoral colleges that will elect two-thirds of Syria’s 210-seat People’s Assembly on October 5, with President Ahmed al-Sharaa appointing the remaining third. Officials say the system was chosen due to limited population data and large-scale displacement after years of war, though questions remain about inclusivity and legitimacy as Syria eyes a new political chapter.Iran’s regional influence remains a focal point of concern for many observers. Tehran reports that 60 percent enriched uranium remains buried under rubble and unreachable, a sign of the continuing uncertainties surrounding Iran’s nuclear program and the security implications for neighbors and the wider region. Israel has repeatedly warned that countering Iran’s destabilizing reach remains essential to regional security, and Prime Minister Netanyahu has asserted that defeating the Iranian axis is within Israel’s means, a refrain heard in public remarks to the IDF leadership.In Lebanon and the wider theater, the overall balance against Iranian-backed proxies remains a live issue, with Israel’s security posture and Lebanese political dynamics closely watched as actors reassess how to manage Hezbollah’s capabilities in light of ongoing regional pressures and domestic considerations inside Lebanon regarding the presence of militant groups.A separate update from the Gaza front emphasizes the humanitarian toll: the war’s most densely populated areas have witnessed intensified fighting, and casualty reporting continues to surface alongside the disclosures about hostages and missing persons. This is occurring even as recognition of a Palestinian state—coming from a broad international coalition—raises questions about the best path to a sustainable peace while combat operations persist.International travel and security developments also drew attention this morning. In Copenhagen and Oslo, unidentified drones disrupted air traffic, forcing flight cancellations and delays as authorities pursued their investigation into the source and intent behind the incursions. Danish officials characterized the operation as the work of a capable operator, and investigators are examining possible links to other incidents in the region. The disruptions follow a broader pattern of drone activity that has affected critical infrastructure across Europe in recent days, prompting renewed scrutiny of airspace security and countermeasures.In the United States, a legal development touched academic funding tied to protests over the Gaza war. A federal court ordered the restoration of more than $500 million in UCLA grants that had been suspended amid protests linked to Israel’s actions in Gaza. The ruling underscored ongoing tensions between national funding oversight and academic freedom, and it arrived alongside White House statements reaffirming a commitment to combat antisemitism as part of a broader message during the Rosh Hashanah period.On the ground in Gaza, reporting indicates that the Israeli Defense Forces are continuing to advance into populated areas, with officials describing significant movement toward humanitarian flashpoints. The situation for civilians remains dire, and the international community wrestles with how to balance security needs with calls for humanitarian access and protection of civilians.This morning also features a reminder of the broader regional volatility and the interconnected nature of these developments. While international recognition of a Palestinian state has gained traction, the practical and immediate realities of conflict—military operations, civilian suffering, hostages, and regional power dynamics—remain central to the daily narrative. The United States continues to align with Israel in pursuing security objectives while advocating for pathways to peace that reflect the interests of a broad international coalition, a stance consistent with the administration’s emphasis on peace through strength and robust ally cooperation.That is your 7:00 a.m. update.

HEADLINESGaza City half evacuated as troops advanceCeasefire framework floated amid hostage talksDrones close Copenhagen Oslo airportsThe time is now 6:00 AM in New York, I'm Noa Levi and this is the latest Israel Today: Ongoing War Report.This is the 6:00 AM update. Good morning. The battlefield remains active in Gaza as Israeli forces press their Gaza City operation, with new detail shaping how observers assess the war’s trajectory and humanitarian impact. The Israel Defense Forces say that roughly half of Gaza City’s population has now evacuated south as troops advance deeper into the densely populated urban area. Initial casualty figures from Hamas-controlled Gaza indicate at least 29 people killed by Israeli fire in Gaza City, with 25 of those fatalities concentrated there as the fighting intensifies. An Israeli officer, Major Shahar Netanel Bozaglo, 27, a company commander, was killed in the city after Hamas gunmen fired an RPG at a tank during the combat, marking the first fatality among the IDF’s latest ground offensive. He was taken to hospital in critical condition before he died, underscoring the human costs already unfolding in the campaign’s current phase.In parallel, the war’s broader humanitarian dimension remains acute. Aid agencies and United Nations bodies have warned that the Gaza Strip’s health system is under extreme strain, and compassionate access continues to hinge on ongoing security considerations and blockade controls. A number of Western states have urged Israel to restore a medical corridor that would allow Gaza’s patients to receive treatment in the West Bank and East Jerusalem, as part of a coordinated set of measures to ease urgent medical needs. The joint appeal, signed by Austria, Belgium, Canada, France, Germany, Italy, the European Union, and Poland, calls for resuming medical evacuations and lifting restrictions on the delivery of medicines and medical equipment. Israel has historically rejected Gazan treatment in West Bank hospitals over security concerns, though it has occasionally permitted limited evacuations to other countries. The medical crisis in Gaza has long been a point of contention between humanitarian relief efforts and security calculations.Across the political and diplomatic spectrum, a new push for a ceasefire in Gaza has emerged. Senior Hamas officials have told the Saudi newspaper Asharq Al-Awsat that a fresh effort is underway to draft a ceasefire in Gaza. They suggest the next two weeks will clarify what each side is prepared to offer toward even a temporary pause that would halt the Israeli operation in Gaza City and open the door to more substantive talks. Reportedly, several Arab states are engaging in discussions aimed at ending the war entirely and securing a withdrawal of Israeli forces from residential areas. A proposed framework circulating in some channels includes the release of 10 hostages and the return of two bodies, including two US citizens, backed by American guarantees of a 60-day ceasefire and the delivery of humanitarian aid. Israel and Hamas have not publicly responded to these specifics. In parallel, media reports have circulated about a letter from Hamas to President Trump seeking a temporary 60-day ceasefire in exchange for freeing half the hostages, a development tied to mediation efforts that include Qatar and other mediators. The flow of mediations comes as concerns rise about the war’s toll on civilians and the disruption of daily life in Gaza and neighboring regions.On the international front, President Netanyahu has continued to frame the conflict within a wider regional context. In a recent address to the IDF General Staff, he reiterated his government’s stance that the defeat of what he terms the Iranian axis is within the realm of Israel’s capabilities and security responsibilities. The comment aligns with a broader line that views Tehran’s network of allies and proxies as a central strategic threat, even as the conflict in Gaza dominates headlines and international diplomacy. Meanwhile, in regional security shifts, observers note that a new Saudi-Pakistan mutual defense pact and related discussions could influence how Gulf and South Asian partners collaborate to manage shared security challenges, including concerns about Iran and regional stability. Analysts say the pact may redefine aspects of US influence in the region, as Riyadh seeks to balance partnerships and detachments with different powers while pursuing its own security and diplomatic goals.Outside the immediate theater, developments affecting Europe and beyond continued to ripple through the global security and travel landscape. Unidentified drones prompted major disruptions at Copenhagen and Oslo airports, forcing thousands of travelers to shift plans while authorities investigated the source and authorship of the incursions. Copenhagen's airport faced a four-hour closure, and Oslo’s facility a three-hour halt as police assessed the threat. Danish authorities described the incident as the work of a “capable operator” and noted that links between the Danish case and similar incidents elsewhere were not yet clear. The disruptions come amid a broader international backdrop of heightened sensitivities around drone activity near critical infrastructure, with ongoing investigations into cyberattacks at major European hubs affecting travel systems in recent days.In the United States, a federal judge ordered the restoration of certain federal research funds that had been frozen in reaction to campus protests related to Israel and Gaza. The ruling directs the government to restore more than $500 million in NIH, DoD, and transportation research funding to UCLA, finding that suspensions appeared arbitrary and capricious. The decision underscores how domestic politics in the United States—particularly around academic freedom and political expression on campuses—can become entwined with foreign policy debates about Israel, Gaza, and antisemitism. In a related domestic note, President Trump has used public appearances to press his stance on antisemitism and religious liberty, while continuing to challenge questions from the press, illustrating the ongoing tension between political discourse and policy on issues tied to the Middle East.Back in the region, the Gaza operation has drawn responses from humanitarian groups and rights organizations about the humanitarian crisis. Civilian suffering remains at the forefront of international concern as aid groups warn that Gaza City and other dense urban areas could face a sharply worsening situation if the fighting continues and the humanitarian corridors fail to keep pace with needs. The UN and aid agencies have repeatedly called for safe, reliable corridors for food, medicine, water, and shelter, along with viable options for evacuations of the wounded and vulnerable populations.Looking ahead, the situation remains volatile and fast-moving. If the new ceasefire track gains traction, observers expect the terms to hinge on the balance of guarantees and the viability of humanitarian access, as well as the political will of parties to restrain violence and begin negotiations that could yield a longer-term pause in hostilities. For Israel, maintaining security and protecting its civilians remains a fundamental priority, judged in the context of international support and regional dynamics. For Gaza’s civilians, the question is whether a credible, verifiable halt to fighting can be engineered quickly enough to avert further loss of life and collapse of essential services.That is the latest across Gaza, the region, and the international stage as of this morning. We will continue to monitor the evolving ceasefire discussions, the humanitarian situation, and the security posture in Israel and its neighbors, reporting back with updates as events unfold.Thank you for tuning in to this Israel Today: Ongoing War Report update.I'm Noa Levi.

HEADLINESGaza City battles intensify; 640k displacedIran sanctions risk escalation at UN talksCeasefire talks advance; 60-day truce on tableThe time is now 5:01 AM in New York, I'm Noa Levi and this is the latest Israel Today: Ongoing War Report.The fighting in Gaza has intensified as Israeli forces push deeper into Gaza City, with the Israel Defense Forces confirming the death of Major Shahar Netanel Bozaglo, 27, a company commander, after his tank was struck during combat by a Hamas fighter. The military says the operation has driven a large-scale displacement, with current estimates indicating about 640,000 Palestinians have evacuated southward as fighting deepens in the densely populated city. Medical officials report casualties rising in Gaza City as Israeli air and ground strikes target Hamas positions and infrastructure, while the army says it destroyed a Hamas weapons site and neutralized gunmen near advancing troops. Aid agencies warn the humanitarian situation is deteriorating as civilians bear the brunt of the confrontation.On the diplomatic front, Washington has barred Iranian diplomats from purchasing luxury goods as part of broader sanctions pressure. In New York, Iran and the group of European powers—Britain, France and Germany—are pursuing last-ditch talks at the United Nations to avert the restoration of UN sanctions. The Europeans have offered to delay any sanctions for up to six months to pave the way for negotiations, contingent on Iran restoring access for international inspectors and addressing concerns about its nuclear program. Tehran has indicated it intends to continue its path if a deal cannot be reached, while Iran’s foreign minister has urged partners to choose cooperation over confrontation. In Washington, officials emphasize a combined approach: pressing Iran to halt destabilizing activity while pursuing a diplomatic track that aligns with Israel’s security needs.Meanwhile, a renewed push for a Gaza ceasefire is taking shape. Senior Hamas officials told a Saudi newspaper that a new effort is underway to draft a ceasefire agreement, with discussions focusing on a temporary pause to allow humanitarian relief and set the stage for broader negotiations. The reports say the plan could involve releasing ten hostages and returning two bodies in a first stage, backed by American guarantees of a sixty-day ceasefire. Qatar is said to be mediating; neither Israel nor Hamas has publicly commented on the initiative. Some observers view this as a sign of momentum, while others caution that major obstacles remain and that any durable end to the fighting will require wider regional engagement.Domestically in Israel, the holiday period has brought a mix of developments. Two Israelis drowned at sea in separate incidents—one at Tel Aviv’s coast and another at the Sea of Galilee—prompting renewed cautions against swimming at unsupervised beaches. In other national headlines, a ninety-year-old man who was riding a motorized scooter sustained a head injury after a fall and was hospitalized. International and regional developments continue to shape the security landscape. Drone sightings disrupted air traffic at Copenhagen and Oslo airports, triggering cross-border investigations and raising concerns about aviation security in Europe. In Denmark, the prime minister said the drone incursions represent a serious challenge to critical infrastructure. In a separate turn, Turkey’s president saw his address at the United Nations briefly interrupted by a microphone glitch before resuming his remarks.Regional security trends continue to draw attention. Analysts point to a Saudi–Pakistan mutual defense arrangement as signaling a recalibration of security dynamics in the region and highlighting questions about US influence in the area. The death of Saudi Arabia’s leading religious authority was reported, marking a moment of change within the kingdom’s religious establishment. In Egypt, prominent rights defender Alaa Abdel Fattah was released after a presidential pardon, a development welcomed by rights groups and international supporters. The humanitarian situation in Yemen remains dire, with international organizations urging action to prevent famine as tens of millions face food insecurity.Looking ahead, the situation remains precarious. Israel is insisting on security measures and a credible path to reducing Hamas capabilities while protecting civilians, and it is watching with caution as ceasefire diplomacy continues. Iran faces continued sanctions pressure and the risk of renewed restrictions if talks collapse, even as Tehran maintains it will pursue its nuclear program if no agreement is reached. The coming days are likely to bring fresh diplomatic engagements, further troop movements on the ground in Gaza, and continued scrutiny of civilian humanitarian needs in the City and the broader region. We will monitor developments and bring you updates as they unfold.Thank you for tuning in to this Israel Today: Ongoing War Report update.I'm Noa Levi.

HEADLINES- Gaza death toll tops sixty five thousand- Netanyahu vows Iran Axis defeat within reach- Saudi Pakistan pact signals regional realignmentThe time is now 4:00 AM in New York, I'm Noa Levi and this is the latest Israel Today: Ongoing War Report.Today’s hourly update draws a still-tense picture from the Middle East and beyond as events unfold on multiple fronts.In Israel, Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu delivered what he described as a blunt assessment of the conflict’s strategic landscape, saying the defeat of Iran’s axis is within reach and underscoring a continued readiness to act. The remarks came at a time when Jerusalem is pressing ahead with a broad security posture against what it says are Iran’s nuclear ambitions and its network of proxies. In Washington, US officials have been working with Israel to shape a postwar framework for Gaza that they describe as “peace through strength,” seeking regional backing to enable an Israeli withdrawal and stabilize a post-conflict order. The plan envisions a role for Arab and Muslim partners in assisting with governance, security arrangements, and postwar reconstruction, while keeping Hamas disarmed and hostage issues resolved.On the nuclear file, Iran and the European powers are in last-ditch talks to prevent the revival of United Nations sanctions as Tehran previously faced the prospect of a snapback. Britain, France and Germany have pressed to extend the pause in sanctions while Tehran restores access for inspectors and addresses concerns about its stock of enriched uranium. Iranian diplomats say progress is possible, but several officials caution that the window is narrow and the outcome uncertain. Tehran has warned that it will continue its path if its terms are not met, even as it resists pressure and argues its program is for peaceful purposes. The discussions come as high-level exchanges are planned on the sidelines of the United Nations General Assembly.In Gaza, the humanitarian and military picture remains grave and fluid. The Hamas-run health ministry in Gaza says more than 65,000 people have been killed or are presumed dead in the fighting to date, a toll not independently verifiable and not disaggregated by civilians and combatants. Israel says it has pressed its campaign against Hamas, asserting it has killed more than 22,000 combatants and conducted additional operations inside Israel against militants. The number of hostages held in Gaza stands at 48, including 47 of the roughly 251 abducted on October seventh last year. Among those held are the bodies of at least 26 confirmed dead, with around 20 hostages believed alive and two others of grave concern to families and officials. Israeli authorities say they are pursuing a comprehensive ceasefire-hostage settlement that would see Hamas disarmed and all hostages freed, while the United States signals support for a broader, multiyear reconstruction and security framework in Gaza.The fighting has driven a massive displacement in and around Gaza City. Military commanders in the southern command estimate that about 640,000 residents have moved south in recent days, as air and ground operations intensify. Still in Gaza City, roughly 400,000 people remain in the vicinity, according to the latest assessments, with humanitarian access and delivery of aid continuing to face significant challenges amid ongoing combat and bombardment.In the broader arena, Israel says Hezbollah’s capabilities in Lebanon have been degraded by sustained pressure, while Lebanon’s leadership has voiced a desire to see the group weakened or expelled from the country. The dynamic remains delicate, with regional cross-border concerns continuing to shape policy and military posture on both sides of the border.In Yemen, attention remains on the continued Houthi activity in the Red Sea corridor. A British-flagged cargo vessel was reportedly attacked near Dubai, with authorities noting no injuries among the crew as the ship continued on its course. The incident adds to a pattern of tension and risk to maritime traffic in the region, underscoring the broader security challenges facing Gulf states and international shipping lanes.Internationally, a cluster of developments is shaping perceptions of power and influence in the region. A defense pact between Saudi Arabia and Pakistan—seen by some analysts as signaling shifting regional alignments—has drawn attention to ongoing questions about US influence in the Middle East and South Asia. In Europe, cities face security concerns and travel disruptions linked to broader aviation and maritime security alerts, underscoring a global dimension to the regional upheaval. In Ireland, reports of tourism declines tied to political protests reflect how diplomatic stances toward Israel can have economic reverberations that touch travelers and local businesses.Human rights and diplomacy also appear in the mix. In Egypt, prominent activist Alaa Abdel Fattah was released after a pardon by President Abdel Fattah al-Sisi, a development that drew international attention and evoked ongoing debate about reform and political space in the region. In Asia, Japan’s foreign minister signaled at the United Nations that recognition of a Palestinian state is soon to be announced, a shift that would bear on the broader diplomacy enveloping the Israeli-Palestinian conflict.Back in Washington, discussions about Gaza continue to feature prominently. A recently disclosed letter from Hamas to President Donald Trump asked for a personal guarantee of a 60-day ceasefire in exchange for the release of roughly half of the remaining hostages, a proposal that would complement but complicate the broader push for a comprehensive peace and disarmament deal. Officials say Trump intends to address the plan in his meetings with Netanyahu and in his UN address, with the aim of securing Arab and Muslim backing for a regional stabilization framework. Netanyahu has indicated support for a comprehensive ceasefire-hostage agreement as the preferred path, though Israel remains wary of concessions that could be perceived as empowering Hamas.On the human dimension of the conflict, casualties on all sides continue to mount. Late last night, the Defense Ministry in Israel confirmed the death of a battalion commander in fighting in the northern Gaza Strip, a reminder that the war’s human cost is borne by both combatants and civilians. The military has emphasized protection of civilians amid a campaign to degrade Hamas’s military capabilities, while humanitarian groups urge greater access to assistance and protection for noncombatants.In domestic Israeli life, ordinary concerns persist alongside extraordinary danger. A traditional observance of Rosh Hashanah highlights themes of renewal and responsibility as Israel faces a security environment that remains unsettled. Reports on agriculture note a challenging moment for pomegranate growers, who say rising costs and competition from neighboring producers threaten a historically significant harvest that accompanies the High Holidays. The season’s symbolism remains potent in a country grappling with security, economic pressures, and the burden of war.Looking ahead, leaders in Jerusalem, Washington, and beyond are expected to hold talks and public engagements that will shape the near-term path in Gaza and the broader regional balance of power. The next days will include meetings on the Gaza plan with regional partners, continued diplomacy on Iran’s nuclear program, and ongoing scrutiny of security dynamics along Israel’s northern and southern fronts. The world watches as conflicting objectives, strategic calculations, and humanitarian concerns intersect in a region that remains deeply unsettled.That is the situation as it stands this morning.Thank you for tuning in to this Israel Today: Ongoing War Report update.I'm Noa Levi.

HEADLINESRobotic units carve path in Gaza SabraHamas seeks 60-day pause to free hostagesUS seeks regional buy-in for postwar GazaThe time is now 3:00 AM in New York, I'm Noa Levi and this is the latest Israel Today: Ongoing War Report.Good morning. This is your hour-by-hour update on the war and the wider regional and international picture, and what it means for security, diplomacy, and civilians.In Gaza, the fighting is entering another phase as Israeli ground operations continue around central Gaza City. Palestinian accounts describe a coordinated push in Sabra, with unmanned, “robotic” vehicles clearing a path for tanks to move through the Sabra neighborhood from Tel al-Hawa to Sabra, a route north of the city center. Reports say at least three to four of these robotic units detonated in recent hours in Sabra, with a map showing Sabra just north of Tel al-Hawa. Arab media and Gaza sources also say tanks have been roaming Tel al-Hawa since yesterday. Video footage circulating reportedly shows a tracked vehicle laying explosive charges inside Sabra, with smoke rising and damage spreading across dozens of structures. In another development, Palestinian sources say Israeli forces have entered the Shati refugee camp on Gaza’s western edge, an area that had not seen ground activity for more than a year and a half. Military movements reportedly followed prior aerial and artillery strikes, with bursts of fire visible across the camp as tanks and armored units moved in west of the Al-Quds Open University site, about 750 meters from the coast. The camp’s congested streets have long raised concerns about civilian harm, and authorities describe a sustained air, artillery, and ground campaign aimed at neutralizing threats and hindering militants in the area.The human toll remains enormous and difficult to verify independently. Gaza’s health ministry, run by Hamas, says more than 65,000 people have been killed or are presumed dead in the fighting to date. Israel counters that its own campaigns have killed more than 22,000 combatants in Gaza and that about 1,600 terrorists have been killed inside Israel during the same period. The civilian toll, as always, is the most contested and painful part of the story, with both sides arguing over civilian casualties and the use of dense urban areas for militancy.Hostages and captives remain a central, unresolved issue. Hamas and allied groups are holding 48 hostages in Gaza, including the bodies of at least 26 confirmed dead. Officials say roughly 20 hostages are believed to be alive, with two in potentially grave condition. The hostage crisis continues to color every ceasefire discussion and hostage negotiation, and efforts to reach a comprehensive ceasefire-hostage agreement are ongoing even as military operations press forward.On the diplomatic front, the war in Gaza continues to shape broader regional and international diplomacy. In New York, US President Donald Trump is slated to address the United Nations General Assembly amid questions about the US role and its approach to Gaza. The White House has outlined plans for a multilateral discussion, inviting leaders from Saudi Arabia, the United Arab Emirates, Qatar, Egypt, Jordan, Turkey, Indonesia and Pakistan to discuss Gaza and a post-war governance framework. Reports describe a US plan that envisions a withdrawal by Israel under a broader security and funding architecture, with a regional security presence to support reconstruction and governance. While Netanyahu has expressed support for a comprehensive ceasefire-hostage deal, sources familiar with the talks caution that parts of the plan, such as Palestinian Authority involvement in governance, could be difficult for Israel to accept. Hamas has separately circulated a letter to President Trump requesting a 60-day pause in hostilities in exchange for releasing roughly half of the remaining hostages, a proposal that has met resistance from Israeli officials who insist on a comprehensive deal that disarms Hamas and liberates all hostages.In parallel, US diplomacy is moving on other fronts. The Times of Israel reports that President Trump intends to meet Muslim leaders and discuss Gaza, seeking regional buy-in for a plan to end the war. US officials describe a framework they believe could form the contours of a post-war settlement, with international support, funding for transition, and a role for regional security arrangements while ensuring that Hamas is not re-empowered. The White House emphasizes a renewal of American strength and a pushback against what it calls decayed global institutions, while noting that any final settlement will require broad regional acceptance. Netanyahu is said to be familiar with elements of the plan but not fully aligned with every dimension of it, particularly governance arrangements that would involve the Palestinian Authority.Beyond Gaza, the broader Middle East scene shows continued diplomacy and strategic recalibration. A report on the sidelines of the UN gathering notes that Iran and Egypt’s foreign ministers met in New York, signaling ongoing regional diplomacy that could influence posture toward Israel and Iran’s proxies. In Washington, discussions about possible actions against international bodies tied to war-crimes investigations continue, with some discussions reportedly weighing sanctions on the International Criminal Court in The Hague. The aim, officials say, is to address concerns about investigations that touch Israeli officials and broader questions of accountability, though many governments and organizations warn that such moves could complicate existing international cooperation.On the broader security front, there are scattered incidents and developments beyond Gaza. A pair of drone-related disruptions affected air travel in Europe, with Copenhagen and Oslo reporting drone sightings that disrupted flights and led to temporary holds on thousands of passengers. Danish authorities stressed that there was no immediate evidence of a threat to passengers, but the incidents prompted quick responses to secure airspace. In Israel, domestic issues also surface. A significant demonstration in front of the home of Education Minister Yoav Kish drew police attention as supporters pressed for action on the ongoing concern for hostages, while other protests and police activity occurred in multiple locations as part of a broader cycle of political activism during a difficult period.In other regional and related news, an indicator of shifting geopolitical currents comes from the broader arc of diplomacy and economic engagement. The European Union and Indonesia announced a sweeping, nearly comprehensive trade pact that promises major tariff relief for EU exports to Indonesia, including cars and machinery. The accord, while primarily economic in scope, sits against a backdrop of shifting alliances and shared interests in trade, energy, and regional stability. In a separate domestic incident, a 70-year-old man was reported to have collapsed at a Tel Aviv beach and was transported to a hospital in critical condition, underscoring the constant vulnerability of civilians to a wide range of emergencies even amid national security concerns.As we move forward, the central thread remains clear: Israel pursues its security objectives with an emphasis on protecting civilians and pressing for a sustainable end to the Gaza war that would secure the release of hostages and disarm Hamas. The United States continues to align with that aim by seeking regional buy-in and practical steps that could enable Israel’s withdrawal under a governance framework, with international support for reconstruction and security. At the same time, the war has become a global test of diplomacy, international law, and the balance between security and humanitarian obligations, with Iran’s regional posture and the future of its proxies, the fate of Gaza’s people, and the stability of the broader region all riding on today’s decisions and tomorrow’s diplomacy.

HEADLINESFragile Iran-Israel ceasefire teeters on edgeNew Syrian government surfaces after Assad's fallLebanon pressures curb Hezbollah amid border tensionsThe time is now 2:00 AM in New York, I'm Noa Levi and this is the latest Israel Today: Ongoing War Report.This hour, the Middle East sits with a fragile pause in the confrontation between Israel and Iran, a ceasefire that has not yet admitted a lasting peace and remains vulnerable to shifting calculations on both sides. In parallel, observers note a realignment of Iran’s regional reach as the status of its proxies appears diminished, even as Tehran signals it remains committed to influence in the region. The question now is whether the current pause can hold long enough to allow diplomacy to catch up with military operations that have stretched across Gaza, Lebanon, Syria, and Yemen.In Syria, reports describe the emergence or consolidation of a new government following the ouster of Bashar al-Assad, a development that has intensified Israel’s concern with Iranian entrenchment and with the safety of border communities. Israeli officials have warned that any attempt by Tehran or its allies to extend influence near the Golan Heights will be met with a firm response, a position underscored by recent strikes aimed at Iranian-backed forces and allied militias. Those actions have also fed into a broader debate among regional partners about the balance between stabilizing pressure and the risk of wider confrontation.Lebanon remains a focal point, as Beirut presses to reduce Hezbollah’s presence within its borders. The Israeli Defense Forces have carried out operations that further degraded Hezbollah’s capabilities, while Lebanese authorities face domestic pressure to reassert sovereignty and curb Iranian-backed groups that operate beyond Beirut’s reach. The Lebanese state’s push to reassert control is watched closely by regional partners who fear spillover from any broader confrontation, including renewed clashes along the border.In Gaza, Hamas’ military capacity has weakened relative to the height of the conflict, yet the group’s hold on its captives and hostages continues to shape the dynamics of the war and any ceasefire negotiations. Israeli and Palestinian negotiators—along with international mediators—have signaled that the fate of hostages remains a core issue that any future agreement must address, a reality that keeps pressure on leaders in Jerusalem and in the region to seek a stable path forward without compromising security guarantees.Meanwhile, the conflict’s broad regional ripples persist as Yemen’s Houthi militants continue to conduct attacks that threaten shipping and energy infrastructure, complicating security calculations for Israel’s partners and for international actors urging de-escalation. The regional security environment remains tense as cross-border actions are weighed against humanitarian concerns in Gaza and the ongoing political transitions across the Arab world.On the international stage, five years after the Abraham Accords, Israel’s partners in the Gulf continue to recalibrate their relations with the Jewish state. While trade and people-to-people ties have grown in some sectors, officials and analysts caution that the post-October 7 war period has unsettled some partners’ expectations. Many emphasize the need to balance security cooperation with concerns about Palestinian rights and regional stability. The broader question for Washington’s allies is how much room remains for strategic gains through engagement with Israel as tensions with Iran’s network persist and as regional dynamics shift with new leadership and new alliances.The United States, under President Donald Trump, has pursued an “America First” foreign policy that edges away from traditional multilateralism and foreign aid in favor of a more transactional approach. Trump’s forthcoming address to the United Nations General Assembly is watched for signals about whether Washington will reaffirm or recalibrate its leadership role on Gaza, Ukraine, and other flashpoints. The policy stance described by officials and commentators emphasizes skepticism about sustaining extensive global cooperation while insisting on a security-first posture in defense of US interests and those of its allies, including Israel, with an emphasis on peace through strength and fortified deterrence.Domestically in Israel, attention remains on security and governance amid ongoing security challenges and political demonstrations. A 27-year-old officer, Shahar Netanel Bozaglo, from Migdal HaEmek, was identified as a soldier who fell in combat in northern Gaza, a loss that continues to shape national memory and the urgency of security decisions. In another domestic moment, a man in his seventies was rushed to hospital in Tel Aviv after a medical incident at Tel Baruch Beach; emergency crews treated him at the scene and transported him for advanced care, highlighting the ongoing toll of public incidents amid the country’s broader security concerns. Protests have also drawn attention, with demonstrators gathering outside the home of Education Minister Yoav Kisch in response to hostage issues and related policy debates, and police actions reported as authorities sought to manage crowds.On the humanitarian and cultural front, Israel continues to pursue medical and technological innovations, including advancements in PTSD treatment through neuromodulation devices—an area of medical progress that has drawn international attention and regulatory attention in the United States with new approvals signaling broader access to cutting-edge therapies for veterans and others affected by trauma.In parallel international developments, Egypt released prominent activist Alaa Abdel Fattah following a presidential pardon, underscoring ongoing political shifts in the region and the complex interplay between reform pressures and state security. And in global finance and policy circles, discussions continue around sanctions, diplomacy, and the fate of aid and research funding tied to universities and global institutions as governments weigh responses to crises from Gaza to Iran’s nuclear and missile programs.As this hour closes, the overarching pattern remains clear: a fragile ceasefire framework between Israel and Iran, shifting regional alignments as Syria and Lebanon redefine their political calculations, and a Gaza war that continues to influence hostage negotiations, humanitarian considerations, and international diplomacy. The United States and its allies face the challenge of balancing security assurances with regional stability, while Israeli leaders navigate the demands of defense and deterrence in a rapidly changing neighborhood. In Gaza, in Syria, in Lebanon, and across the Gulf, the next moves will be watched with caution by governments, soldiers, and civilians who live with the consequences of every decision made in boardrooms, capitals, and on battlefields.Thank you for tuning in to this Israel Today: Ongoing War Report update.I'm Noa Levi.

HEADLINESGaza City Push Escalates, Soldier KilledGulf States Wary Yet Working With IsraelFrance Recognizes Palestinian State; Netanyahu Expands SettlementsThe time is now 1:00 AM in New York, I'm Noa Levi and this is the latest Israel Today: Ongoing War Report.This is your hourly update. At this hour, the region remains on edge as a fragile ceasefire between Israel and Iran continues to hold only unevenly, with both sides warning that any misstep could escalate but with both also signaling a desire to avoid a full return to open conflict.In Gaza, the current military campaign to push into Gaza City has intensified. The Israeli Defense Forces report that more than 200 Hamas targets have been struck as additional units move into position, and the campaign is now marked by the first combat fatality in this latest phase: Major Shahar Netanel Bozaglo, a 27-year-old officer from Migdal HaEmek, was killed by RPG fire in Gaza City. His death underscores the high stakes of Israel’s push to reshape the battlefield in and around the city, even as humanitarian concerns and hostage negotiations continue to loom over the war’s trajectory. Israel has stressed that its actions aim at neutralizing Hamas and protecting civilians, while acknowledging the heavy price of combating an entrenched adversary in densely populated areas.Across the broader Middle East, the status of Israel’s regional partners remains mixed as the war unfolds. Five years after the Abraham Accords, the region’s alliance with Israel persists but faces scrutiny. Public opinion has cooled in several Gulf states, and some partners voice concern about the level of Israeli pressure or the potential spillover of regional tensions. Yet there is also evidence of continued practical cooperation. In the United Arab Emirates, for example, officials continue to emphasize the focus on Gaza relief and reconstruction planning, while maintaining a dialogue that spans security, business, and people-to-people ties. The core dynamic remains simple: Arab states see strategic value in a strong Israel to counter Iranian influence, even as they call for cooperative approaches to ending the Gaza war and stabilizing the region.At the same time, observers note that Israel’s post-October 7 military campaigns have altered regional perceptions. Some Gulf analysts caution that Israel’s expanded operations, including strikes in Syria and even discussions about broader regional reach, could redefine risk calculations for Arab partners. There is particular concern about how far Israel might go if threats to its security mount, and how regional partners would respond if American policy shifts or if Iran intensifies its regional activities. The Qatar strike, for example, drew attention as a rare instance of Israeli action against a long-standing partner state, prompting questions about diplomatic balance and restraint.Meanwhile, France’s recognition of a Palestinian state has generated mixed reactions in the West Bank. While some Palestinians welcomed the gesture as symbolic support for statehood, many view it as insufficient without concrete steps to end the Gaza war and to address daily hardships under occupation conditions. In Israel, Prime Minister Netanyahu pledged to expand settlements in the West Bank in response to foreign recognitions of a Palestinian state, underscoring the ongoing tension between international diplomacy and on-the-ground realities in the territories. The recognition backdrop also fuels broader debates inside Israel about strategy in the Palestinian arena as the Gaza war proceeds.On the diplomatic front in Washington, several Western governments have offered to assist with humanitarian relief for Gaza, including medical corridors and aid for patients in the West Bank. Canada, France, Germany, and others called for restoring medical evacuation routes to Gaza-adjacent territories to ensure urgent treatment for Gaza patients, while urging continued international engagement to prevent a broader humanitarian crisis. In parallel, US President Donald Trump announced plans to convene a multilateral visit with leaders from several Muslim-majority nations to discuss Gaza, signaling ongoing US engagement with regional partners and a shared interest in stabilizing the situation while protecting civilian lives. The White House stressed that Gaza would be a central topic of discussion, along with broader regional security concerns.Within Israel’s domestic and security landscape, the ongoing war is influencing political and security calculations. The recent hostilities have prompted heightened security measures domestically, including increased security for Jewish communities abroad and more robust preventive steps to deter threats from various fronts. The news cycle continues to feature stories of individual resilience and endurance, even as families mourn and communities rally around urgent humanitarian needs in Gaza and the West Bank.In other regional developments, Europe is looking to contribute to relief efforts and diplomatic channels. In the humanitarian sphere, Western governments have signaled willingness to contribute financially, medically trained personnel, and equipment to support relief efforts for Gaza patients being treated on Palestinian soil, contingent on safe, secure corridors for medical evacuations. Egypt also made a notable move by freeing activist Alaa Abdel Fattah, a development that reverberates in the broader conversation about civil rights and political expression in the region.In the United States, evolving domestic and foreign policy considerations continue to intersect with the Gaza crisis. The US remains focused on coordinating with allies and partners to press for humanitarian access, while reaffirming security commitments to Israel. The rhetoric around a strategy that blends deterrence with political and diplomatic engagement remains a touchstone of allied discussions as the war enters a critical phase with high stakes for civilians and for regional stability.As this hour closes, observers are watching to see whether international diplomacy translates into tangible relief and a sustainable path to peace. The region’s dynamics remain intricate: a push for security and deterrence on one side, a pull toward diplomacy and humanitarian relief on the other, all under the shadow of ongoing hostilities and the heavy human toll they produce. We will continue to monitor developments and bring you the latest as events unfold, with careful balance and clear-eyed reporting.Thank you for tuning in to this Israel Today: Ongoing War Report update.I'm Noa Levi.
