Israel Today: Ongoing War Report - Update from 2025-10-07 at 22:06

HEADLINESSharm talks push hostage release ceasefireIsrael demands 48 hostages freed promptlyRegional mediators converge for breakthroughThe time is now 7:00 PM in New York, I'm Noa Levi and this is the latest Israel Today: Ongoing War Report.Good evening. This is the hour’s update on the crisis surrounding Gaza, the broader regional dynamic, and the efforts to secure a durable pause in fighting. Diplomats and mediators continue to press for a framework that would release Israeli and Palestinian hostages, end hostilities, and lay down verifiable guarantees to prevent a relapse into war. Talks in Sharm el-Sheikh, Egypt, appear to be intensifying, with mediation teams from the United States, Egypt and Qatar coordinating with Israeli and Palestinian representatives. A central question remains: can a comprehensive, enforceable ceasefire be paired with a phased release of hostages and a credible withdrawal plan for Gaza, while addressing the security concerns of Israel and the political sensitivities of Hamas?Two years after the October seventh attack, Israel and the families of victims and hostages are again focused on the same core issues: securing the return of all remains and captives, ensuring humanitarian aid continues to flow, and preventing a flare-up that could widen the conflict. In Washington, President Donald Trump has described a framework built around those aims, and his aides say there is a real opportunity to reach a deal. Trump’s team has underscored a commitment to ensuring that hostages are freed and that any agreement is backed by international guarantees. The White House notes that senior American mediators will stay closely involved as negotiations proceed, with other regional players joining in to press for progress.Within the negotiations, Israel’s position remains clear and anchored in security. Officials say they want all forty-eight remaining hostages freed promptly and exactly as laid out in the first phase of the Trump-proposed plan. Israel also emphasizes the need for realistic guarantees that the agreement will be observed and that any future arrangements will not leave Israel exposed to renewed threats. In parallel, Egyptian and Qatari mediators are working to balance the demands of Hamas—who insist on terms that include precise security guarantees, a staged withdrawal, and the release of certain convicted militants—with Israel’s insistence on the primacy of hostage release and safety for its civilians.On the ground and in the political arena, voices within Israel continue to urge caution. A number of relatives of those attacked and killed in the early days of the Gaza conflict have publicly opposed concessions that would release certain militants, warning that such moves could invite further bloodshed. Among those voices is the family of a soldier who was killed in the line of duty; their relatives have argued that releasing specific prisoners could embolden fighters in the future and complicate Israel’s security calculus. At the same time, supporters of a negotiated end to the fighting point to the human cost on both sides and stress that a credible, monitored ceasefire could spare further suffering.Beyond Gaza, regional diplomacy has grown more active. Turkish officials are engaging as part of the broader mediation effort, with Ankara’s intelligence leadership participating in discussions. Qatar’s prime minister has signaled willingness to participate in shaping a comprehensive framework, while American mediators and senior advisers travel between capitals to press for a path to resolution. The talks also draw in Egyptian authorities, who have long been central to brokering pauses in the conflict. In this environment, the United States is presenting a vision of a robust, internationally backed framework aimed at ending the war while preserving Israel’s security and addressing humanitarian needs in Gaza.At the same time, the political theater around the Gaza crisis continues to feature voices far beyond the negotiating rooms. In Europe, public demonstrations and political statements reflect widespread concern about the war and its humanitarian impact, alongside support for Israel’s security needs. In several capitals, activists have debated the balance between solidarity with Palestinians and the imperative of combating terrorism. Within Israel, the memory of the October seventh massacre remains a forceful national touchstone, shaping public opinion and policy discussions as authorities weigh ongoing security threats against the prospects for peace through strength.Turning to the human dimension, President Trump has held discussions with families affected by the war as part of commemorations tied to the two-year anniversary of the tragedy. He has described the moment as a catalyst for decisive action and has publicly stated his belief that breakthroughs are near, while reaffirming support for hostages and families waiting for news. In parallel, members of the Trump circle have continued to engage with regional partners and Israeli leaders, signaling a concerted push to finalize elements of the plan that would bind all sides to a cease-fire and a hostage-release framework.In addition to the central Gaza talks, a number of related developments have kept attention divided. There have been high-profile statements and claims surrounding detention and treatment in relation to maritime and border actions connected to Gaza, including commentary from figures outside the region who have alleged abuses; Israeli authorities have declined to characterize such statements as reflective of the broader situation, emphasizing that Israel adheres to its obligations and is guided by its security needs and the rule of law. Meanwhile, memorial ceremonies and ceremonies of remembrance for victims and the missing continue to be held across the country, underscoring the enduring pain and resolve of families awaiting answers and justice.Looking ahead, the immediate question is whether the parties can bridge remaining gaps on three interlocking issues: the scope and sequencing of hostage releases, the terms of a de-escalation and withdrawal from Gaza, and the guarantees that would reassure Israel and the international community that the violence will not resume. American, Egyptian, and Qatari mediators are expected to play a pivotal role in shaping a final package, with Israel and Hamas prepared to be pragmatic but firm in safeguarding core security needs and humanitarian considerations. If talks proceed with momentum, a formal breakthrough could be announced in the coming days, or the parties may stall as they press for additional concessions.This hour’s update will continue to monitor the negotiations closely, including any shift in positions from Hamas on disarmament or security guarantees, any new assurances offered by regional mediators, and the stance of the United States as President Trump and his administration pursue a path they describe as peace through strength. We will also watch for any changes in the publicly stated positions of the Israeli government, the families of hostages, and the various international partners who have a stake in resolving this crisis.For now, the situation remains tense but active, with diplomacy pressing forward in parallel with the indispensable security measures Israel must maintain to protect its citizens. We will bring you the next hourly briefing with the latest developments as they unfold. This is the latest reporting from the crisis in Gaza and the surrounding region.Thank you for tuning in to this Israel Today: Ongoing War Report update.I'm Noa Levi.

HEADLINESTrump backed ceasefire framework nears final dealHostage family condemns Thunberg imageWar anniversary reshapes Israeli politicsThe time is now 6:00 PM in New York, I'm Noa Levi and this is the latest Israel Today: Ongoing War Report.This is the 6:00 PM update. We begin with a rapid roll of developments shaping the Gaza war and its reverberations around the region and beyond.Yeela David, the sister of hostage Evyatar David, publicly condemned Greta Thunberg for sharing Evyatar’s image in a post focused on Palestinian prisoners, calling the act a “joke” and demanding the post be removed. The moment underscored the highly charged battle over imagery in the information environment surrounding the conflict, as relatives of hostages push back against what they see as instrumentalization of their loved ones.In Stockholm, Greta Thunberg amplified controversy by alleging torture of Gaza flotilla detainees in Israeli custody, saying she and others were kidnapped and subjected to harsh treatment. Israel’s Foreign Ministry rejected the characterization, reiterating that detentions followed standard procedures and emphasizing Israel’s insistence on safeguarding all prisoners of war and civilians while combatting Hamas’s use of civilians as shields. The case has sharpened questions about treatment of detainees and the broader narrative surrounding Gaza-related detentions.Across Europe, tensions flared outside the Israeli embassy in Athens, where pro-Palestinian demonstrators clashed with police in what authorities described as high-profile protests marking two years since the Hamas attack on Israel. The scene reflected the international dimension of the Gaza war, with protests erupting in multiple capitals as parties examine the ramifications of the ongoing fighting, hostage crisis, and humanitarian needs.Back in Israel, President Isaac Herzog marked the two-year anniversary of October 7 with reflections that the nation’s soul was “torn apart,” while Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu described the period as a moment of critical decisions. The government has faced both the existential questions raised by the war and mounting domestic debate about how best to proceed in pursuit of the hostages’ return and a sustainable end to the conflict.On the diplomatic front, decisive days are anticipated in talks over a broader Israel-Hamas ceasefire deal. An Egyptian source, speaking to Asharq Al-Awsat, signaled optimism that a Trump-backed framework could be finalized in the near term if a positive atmosphere persists. The discussions have progressed on the hostages-for-ceasefire framework and potential withdrawal maps, even as Hamas has pressed for additional guarantees and the release of certain convicted terrorists, including figures seen as pivotal to Hamas’s internal calculations. US involvement remains central, with senior American mediators and President Trump’s team in Sharm el-Sheikh to help bridge gaps, alongside Israeli and Arab mediators. In parallel, Israeli Strategic Affairs Minister Ron Dermer and Qatari officials have been positioned to join the talks, and Turkish intelligence chief Ibrahim Kalin is traveling to Egypt to participate in the negotiations. Hamas officials, including Khalil al-Hayya, have publicly framed the talks as a path to ending the war through guarantees from the international community, the United States, and the deal’s backers, even as they insisted on conditions intended to shape the timeline and terms of a potential ceasefire and hostage release.President Trump, who has framed the effort as a breakthrough opportunity, has said the hostages should be released immediately and has warned Hamas of “total annihilation” if it refuses to relinquish control of Gaza. Trump’s involvement has included meetings with hostage families and a push to secure international guarantees for any deal, with White House participation extended to high-level diplomacy from Washington.A separate geopolitical thread concerns public sentiment inside Israel. A Times of Israel analysis based on recent polling indicates a shift from early-war unity to growing perceptions of division, suggesting that the political and social landscape inside Israel is evolving as the Gaza conflict stretches into its second year. The finding reflects the pressures of civilian casualty concerns, security threats, and political debates over strategy, resilience, and national identity.In the domestic front, Greta Thunberg’s social media post linking to a photo of a Hamas-hostage figure drew sharp backlash from the hostage family and others who argued it distorted the context and weaponized personal tragedy for political ends. Critics argued such posts obscure the realities on the ground and risk diminishing the humanity of individuals who have been seized.International security interests continue to unfold in other arenas. The Danish defense ministry reportedly remains interested in Israel’s Iron Dome predecessor Barak 8 as a potential system to counter drone incursions, highlighting how the Gaza war is influencing defense procurement decisions in Europe. In Rome, Italian Prime Minister Giorgia Meloni has faced an international inquiry over alleged complicity in genocide connected to the Gaza campaign, with protests intensifying as Rome reassesses its stance on Israel’s operation yet maintains formal ties.Turning to broader regional and human-interest angles, Elizabeth Tsurkov, the Israeli-Russian researcher released after two years in Iraqi captivity, described how her captors turned up the television volume to hear about the Oct. 7 assault, underscoring the personal dimensions of the crisis and the way narratives echo through captor and captive alike. Berlin marked the Oct. 7 anniversary with gatherings viewed by many as controversial, illustrating how memory, politics, and protest intersect in the international arena as the war rages on.Finally, the broader context remains a constantly shifting landscape of hostage negotiations, humanitarian access, regional diplomacy, and domestic politics. The conversations in Sharm el-Sheikh, with participation by American and regional mediators, aim to lay groundwork for a durable pause in fighting and the safe return of hostages, while all sides brace for the next developments as the two-year anniversary of the crisis closes in.This update will continue to monitor the human impact of the conflict, the evolving hostage negotiations, regional reactions, and the domestic political responses in Israel, with periodic briefings as events warrant.Thank you for tuning in to this Israel Today: Ongoing War Report update.I'm Noa Levi.

HEADLINESHostages Remain Key as Gaza Tensions PersistSharm El Sheikh Talks Shape Possible PeaceIsrael Divided After Wartime Unity ErodesThe time is now 5:00 PM in New York, I'm Noa Levi and this is the latest Israel Today: Ongoing War Report.This is the five o’clock update. The broader security environment around Israel remains unsettled, with regional tensions shaping a cautious pause rather than a durable settlement. Officials say the dynamics around the Gaza theatre continue to hinge on hostage negotiations, deterrence, and regional mediation, even as political leaders stress the need for security measures and the resilience of civilian life.On the Gaza front, two years after the Hamas onslaught, Israel held a nationwide memorial in Tel Aviv. Tens of thousands gathered in Yarkon Park, with bereaved families and survivors sharing memories and though-provoking losses. The ceremony underscored the continued demand for the return of hostages, 48 of whom remain unaccounted for, as families and public figures voice both resolve and longing for resolution. In parallel, a public discussion has intensified about what guarantees and conditions might accompany any progress toward freeing captives, with US involvement framed by supporters as a pathway to broader regional peace through strength.Across the region, mediation efforts persist. In Washington, supporters of close US cooperation with Israel say the hostage talks could serve as a cornerstone for a wider arrangement, while Hamas maintains a demand that Israel withdraw its forces from Gaza before any comprehensive hostage release sequence can begin. The public posture from Jerusalem continues to emphasize security objectives and the protection of civilians, with officials arguing that any durable solution must address the threats that remain to Israeli communities and to regional stability.In related international developments, a number of high-profile voices and political figures weighed in on the Gaza crisis and its broader implications. In Athens, thousands gathered outside the Israeli embassy to mark two years since the October seventh attacks, reflecting ongoing international concern and solidarity with victims of the war. In Rome, Italian Prime Minister and other ministers faced international scrutiny as Rome faced discussions about its stance toward the Gaza campaign, including a denouncement to international bodies that has drawn protests and debate. In London, a controversial musician was charged under the Terrorism Act after displaying a flag associated with Hezbollah during a performance, illustrating how the crisis continues to echo in European political and cultural arenas. And in the realm of advocacy and media, Swedish activist Greta Thunberg faced backlash after sharing a post that used a photograph of an Israeli hostage in a discussion about the plight of Palestinian prisoners, prompting a debate over messaging and the careful handling of images in a polarized environment.Within Israel, domestic developments keep pace with the regional tempo. A prominent former commander involved in the Gaza conflict was cleared in a security information case, with the person thanking supporters and vowing to continue pursuing accountability for what he described as managerial failures. Netanyahu, marking the October seventh anniversary, reiterated a firm commitment to dismantling Hamas, signaling that the strategic posture remains firmly aligned with security through strength. In parallel, a broader, data-driven look at Israeli public sentiment released in a major research project shows a shift from early wartime unity to increased perceptions of division within society, underscoring the political and social tasks ahead even as security gains have been made.On the battlefield and in the corridors of diplomacy, regional actors continue to press for influence. A Turkish security office is reported to be entering talks with Israeli and United States representatives as part of cautious diplomacy around the Gaza crisis, while Israeli and United States officials are slated to meet in the Red Sea resort of Sharm el-Sheikh to discuss potential security and political arrangements. In Washington, the prospect of a broader Middle East peace framework tied to a hostage release is a recurring theme, with allies emphasizing that any durable agreement will be built on credible guarantees and verifiable steps.In Gaza and the occupied territories, hostages and their families remain at the center of the political calculus. Public messages from families during ceremonies and in interviews continue to press for concerted action to secure their loved ones’ return. Meanwhile, regional power dynamics complicate the path forward, as Iran and its allies stockpile influence and Israel remains determined to prevent attacks on its citizens and to preserve its legitimacy in defending itself against threats near and far.Separately, the international health and security landscape added a note of concern with confirmation of a new health alert linked to animal health in Iran, alongside routine global health monitoring. In the culture and politics arena, a broad mix of commentary and reporting reflects ongoing debates about media portrayal, public messaging, and the responsibilities of leaders and activists to convey accurate context in a war framework.In sum, the day’s reporting highlights a fragile balance: Israel remains committed to security and to pursuing a pathway toward peace through strength, while international diplomacy and domestic command decisions emphasize the urgency of safeguarding civilians, resolving hostage cases, and preparing for the next phase of the conflict in a way that can withstand regional and global scrutiny. As events unfold, audiences should watch for any concrete progress in hostage negotiations, any new security measures at home and in the surrounding arena, and continued diplomatic engagement aimed at breaking the cycle of violence while ensuring the safety of civilians and the protection of state interests.Thank you for tuning in to this Israel Today: Ongoing War Report update.I'm Noa Levi.

HEADLINES- Two-Year Memorial Demands All Hostages Freed- Trump Plan Aims All Hostages Freed- Iran's Influence Shrinks Amid Regional ShiftsThe time is now 4:00 PM in New York, I'm Noa Levi and this is the latest Israel Today: Ongoing War Report.Two years after the Hamas attack of October seventh, tens of thousands gathered in Tel Aviv for the national memorial in Yarkon Park, a day marked by silence, memory, and a collective resolve to press on. The ceremony was broadcast to communities across Israel and around the world as families of missing hostages, survivors, and public figures recalled the scale of the crisis and urged renewed effort to win release for the remaining hostages and to defeat Hamas’ rule in Gaza.Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu marked the moment by saying Israel was in a period of critical decision. He described the war as a seven-front struggle and said the nation would not rest until all hostages have been returned and Hamas has been dismantled. He spoke of the moral responsibilities of the state and the obligation to safeguard every Israeli life, while stressing that the security of the home remains the government’s highest priority.In the arena of diplomacy, talks toward a ceasefire and humanitarian arrangement in Gaza have inched into a more delicate phase. Hamas has presented new demands that could complicate agreement, including high-profile terrorist releases, assurances to prevent renewed fighting beyond a prospective pause, and, in some accounts, the deployment of additional security forces to monitor Israeli actions. Negotiators say the discussions are progressing on the technical and logistical aspects—such as hostage releases and aid convoys—while the political questions remain stiff. US mediators and regional partners continue to press for a framework that would permit aid to flow and hostages to be freed rapidly, with competing views over who should be released and under what conditions.President Donald Trump’s administration has framed the talks as offering a real opportunity for broader Middle East peace, insisting that all hostages be freed as a prerequisite to any significant political process. The plan discussed by Trump’s team would aim to release all living hostages within days of signing a first-stage agreement and to free thousands of Palestinian prisoners, with regional powers taking part and, in some accounts, external guarantees to prevent renewed fighting. Hamas has publicly insisted that Israel withdraw from Gaza once the last hostage is released, a stance that conflicts with Trump’s condition for an upfront release of all captives. The involvement of figures tied to the Trump White House, such as Kushner and Witkoff, and the participation of regional actors, including Qatar, have been cited by several outlets as shaping the negotiating dynamics.Beyond the ceasefire talks, observers note a broader strategic shift in the region. Iran’s influence, long a driver of the conflict’s regional calculus, appears more constrained. A two-year view shows Iran more isolated and facing internal fractures within its axis of allies, as regional actors weigh the costs of escalation. The landscape of Iranian proxies is shifting as Syria’s post-Assad governance stabilizes with difficulty, and Hezbollah’s leverage in Lebanon recedes in the face of military pressures and domestic strain. Meanwhile, Yemen’s Houthi campaign against targets in the region persists, contributing to ongoing security concerns for neighbors and global energy markets alike.Domestically, Israel is reporting continued battlefield and security developments. Three active Israeli reserve soldiers were wounded, two seriously, in what police and military officials described as an apparent grenade accident at a post near Khan Younis in southern Gaza during a pause in offensive operations. The incident occurred as Israeli teams paused to assess the path forward with hostage negotiations under way. Separately, a soldier from a different community was killed earlier in the holiday period by a stray bullet in a separate incident, underscoring the fragile security environment across the country.On the human story front, the two-year mark of the crisis has produced a succession of poignant moments. Freed hostages and their families were present in Washington and elsewhere to press for renewed action to secure all captives’ freedom. Arbel Yehoud, freed at a ceremony in Washington, spoke movingly about the need to bring home loved ones still held in Gaza. Survivors and relatives spoke of memory, loss, and the enduring hope that the day will come when all are back safe at home.In cultural and public debate, international figures continued to draw sharp reaction. A prominent climate activist faced harsh criticism after posting an image that juxtaposed Palestinian prisoners with a photo of an Israeli hostage, underscoring how advocacy in times of war can inflame tensions and invite scrutiny of motives and methods.Amid the solemn anniversary and the rough-and-tumble of diplomacy, a sense remains that the world is watching carefully how the ceasefire framework, hostage releases, and humanitarian aid converge.

HEADLINESHamas preconditions stall Gaza ceasefire talksThree Israeli reservists wounded in grenade blastMeloni denounced to ICC over genocideThe time is now 3:01 PM in New York, I'm Noa Levi and this is the latest Israel Today: Ongoing War Report.This is a 3:00 PM update on events surrounding the Israel-Gaza conflict and the broader international reaction.Two years after the October seventh Hamas assault, a fragile pause has settled along the Gaza front as indirect talks move forward under mediation efforts in Egypt and other capitals. A plan advanced by the United States remains at the center of discussions, but negotiations have hit new hurdles. Hamas has pressed for preconditions, including the release of four high‑profile prisoners and a full pullout of Israeli forces before any hostage release, complicating the path to a broader ceasefire. At the same time, the ongoing hostage situation remains unresolved, with 48 captives still believed to be in Gaza. In Washington, freed hostages and their families used a ceremony two years after the attack to press for progress, and President Donald Trump has reiterated support for security guarantees for Gaza while signaling optimism that a deal could be near.On the battlefield, three active reservists were wounded in what the military described as an accidental grenade explosion at a post near Khan Younis in Gaza. Two were seriously injured and one moderately wounded; all were evacuated for treatment as talks continued. Across the broader campaign, Israeli leaders marked the anniversary of the attack with calls to persevere and to secure the release of all hostages, while continuing to confront Hamas and other threats. Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu underscored that the nation is engaged in a decisive effort across multiple fronts, stressing the objective of returning all hostages and neutralizing Hamas while ensuring Israel’s long-term security.Diplomatic and international responses continue to unfold. In Rome, Italian Prime Minister Giorgia Meloni said she had been denounced to the International Criminal Court over alleged complicity in genocide in connection with Israel’s Gaza operation, a development that drew sharp reactions across European capitals. Protests and vigils marking the second anniversary of the Hamas attacks took place worldwide, with demonstrations in London, Paris, Sydney, Melbourne and Berlin, among others; many events were framed by concerns over civilian casualties in Gaza and mounting antisemitism, while others stressed Palestinian rights. In Melbourne, pro‑Hamas graffiti appeared, drawing condemnation from officials in Australia and prompting security officials to review the incidents as potential terrorist offenses. Germany held a mile‑long memorial at Brandenburg Gate that featured photographs of victims, while in New York and other US campuses, groups organized vigils and demonstrations in memory of those affected by the conflict.Iran remains in the global spotlight for reasons beyond the Gaza war. The World Health Organization announced an outbreak of H5N1 in Iran, a development that adds to regional anxieties as Tehran continues to manage the pressures of the current security environment and the broader regional conflict. The announcement prompted questions about Iran’s capacity to respond, with implications for regional stability and international health monitoring.Back home in the United States and elsewhere, attention also turned to developments connected to cultural preservation and other non‑combat stories. Hebrew Union College and the Ohio attorney general reached a deal to safeguard about 600,000 rare books, papers and manuscripts in a major Jewish collection, preserving Biblical codices, illuminated manuscripts, communal records, legal documents, scientific tracts and incunabula for scholars and the public.In other political and security notes, discussions around the Gaza ceasefire plan continued to emphasize practical steps and guarantees rather than rhetoric alone. President Trump reiterated his view that peace in the Middle East could extend beyond Gaza as security commitments were discussed with visiting leaders, and aides noted that the plan’s first phase envisions hostage releases alongside a ceasefire, with ongoing assurances sought from mediating states.On the ground inside Israel and the occupied territories, the country remains in a state of heightened alert and readiness. Israeli officials have stressed the need to keep pressure on Hamas while pursuing a durable resolution that prevents a relapse into wider hostilities. The military has continued to monitor threats from various fronts and to prepare for potential escalations, with civilian protections and humanitarian considerations highlighted in every briefing.As the day progresses, officials urged continued restraint and a focus on verifiable progress toward the release of all hostages and the restoration of safety for Israeli communities while supporting humanitarian protections for civilians in Gaza. The world watches for signs of movement on the negotiating track, and for any steps that might translate into a sustainable end to the immediate crisis, even as new challenges arise from international diplomatic and health developments.That is the latest at 3:00 PM. We will continue to monitor the situation and report with updates as events unfold.Thank you for tuning in to this Israel Today: Ongoing War Report update.I'm Noa Levi.

HEADLINESGaza Ceasefire Stalls as Hamas DemandsKhan Younis Grenade Wounds IDF ReservistsFour UAVs Intercepted Near Yemen Red SeaThe time is now 2:00 PM in New York, I'm Noa Levi and this is the latest Israel Today: Ongoing War Report.At two o’clock in the afternoon, the latest developments center on a fragile path to a Gaza ceasefire, security concerns surrounding Israel’s international engagements, and high-stakes diplomacy underway in parallel tracks.Israeli officials remain cautiously optimistic about negotiations that could broaden a path to ending the Gaza conflict. The discussions in Sharm el-Sheikh, framed around a plan promoted by the United States, face new hurdles as Hamas has insisted that Israel release four high-profile prisoners and commit to a full Israeli pullout from Gaza before any hostage releases proceed. A senior Hamas figure indicated that the negotiating team’s stance is hardening, seeking guarantees to end the war even as discussions continue in Egypt and through mediators. Within Gaza, the latest operational setback on the ground involved a grenade incident at a military post in Khan Younis, leaving three Israel Defense Forces reservists wounded—two in serious condition and one moderately injured. The incident underscores the volatility of the current pause and the continued risk to personnel in the field.On the security front abroad, Israeli international engagements during this period are being tempered by heightened precautions. Security measures have been substantially increased for Israel’s World Cup qualifiers in Norway and Italy, as officials in Oslo and Rome coordinate with Israeli counterparts to manage the security risk around the matches. In the broader regional picture, diplomacy remains active behind the scenes as the Qatar prime minister is slated to join the talks in Egypt, reinforcing the coalition of mediators supporting the Trump administration’s ceasefire framework. Washington’s position remains that progress is possible, with President Donald Trump stating there is a real chance of a Gaza peace deal and indicating that US negotiators are actively involved in the talks in Egypt, alongside Steve Witkoff and Jared Kushner who are playing roles in the effort.Within the political and diplomatic arena, the discussions extend to the US administration’s public posture. The White House underscored that technical talks are taking place in Egypt and that the negotiators are working toward a framework in which hostages could be released and prisoners in Gaza could be addressed within a broader security agreement. In parallel, the Canadian prime minister was arriving in Washington for a joint press conference with President Trump, signaling continued broader engagement with Western allies as the United States and its partners seek to steady the path toward an enduring settlement.Two years after the October seventh violence, commemorations continued across Israel as part of a national reflection on the war’s toll and the ongoing hostage situation. Families of hostages and the missing attended ceremonies in Tel Aviv and Jerusalem, emphasizing the human dimension of the negotiations and the imperative of securing the release of those still held. International observers are watching closely as negotiators describe progress while acknowledging the deep gaps that remain, especially around hostages’ welfare and the conditions attached to any ceasefire or pullback.On the security horizon during the holiday period, a notable development involved four unmanned aerial vehicles that entered Israeli airspace from the southeast near Yemen and were neutralized over the Red Sea region, with no casualties or damage reported as a result of their interception. The broader regional picture remains sensitive, with authorities urging continued vigilance as talks advance.Amid these unfolding events, other noteworthy items include the ongoing legal and security dynamics surrounding the broader international community’s response to tensions in the region. In the United Kingdom, prosecutors indicated they would appeal a ruling that voided charges against a Northern Irish musician accused of displaying a Hezbollah flag at a concert, highlighting the continuing legal debates surrounding material support for designated groups. In Israel, the security apparatus prepared for holiday crowds and potential demonstrations, with the chief of staff directing heightened readiness and tactical drills to ensure that events pass without disruption and with maximum protection for civilians.As the day progresses, observers look for signs of practical steps—whether the prisoner releases can be linked to a credible, phased pullback by Israeli forces, and how the hostage negotiations might be unpacked into verifiable guarantees for safety and stability in the region. The overarching storyline remains clear: a tense but persistent effort to translate dialog and mediation into tangible outcomes, set against a backdrop of persistent security challenges, international diplomacy, and the enduring human impact of the Gaza conflict.Thank you for tuning in to this Israel Today: Ongoing War Report update.I'm Noa Levi.

HEADLINES- Cairo pushes Gaza truce, hostage release- Biden backs phased withdrawal plan- Gaza toll tops 67,000 deadThe time is now 1:01 PM in New York, I'm Noa Levi and this is the latest Israel Today: Ongoing War Report.Good afternoon. At 1:00 PM in Jerusalem, the focus across the region remains on the Gaza ceasefire talks, the hostage release plan, and the wider security environment that touches Israel’s borders from the Mediterranean to the Gulf.In Cairo, indirect talks brokered by Egypt and with US involvement are moving into a decisive phase. The shared aim is a first phase that would establish a truce, secure the release of hostages, and permit an initial Israeli withdrawal from portions of Gaza. Officials familiar with the negotiations say progress is tangible, but the parties still differ on details that require practical interpretation on the ground. Hamas has pressing demands for guarantees and a clear timetable for Israel’s withdrawal, reflecting long-standing concerns that any agreement must be credible and verifiable. Qatar’s mediator in the talks said that if Hamas hands over the remaining hostages, that would mark a significant milestone toward ending the war, though it remains early to declare final agreements. Israel has publicly endorsed the framework, with Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu signaling support, yet the plan has not yet been approved by the cabinet or the Knesset, and discussions continue in the hours ahead.In Washington, the administration and its allies are pressing for progress. The White House has described ongoing conversations in Egypt as constructive, underscoring a 21-point framework tied to the Trump-era plan that envisions a phased Israeli withdrawal, the release of all remaining hostages, and corresponding concessions to reduce Hamas’s leverage. President Donald Trump has voiced optimism that a deal is within reach and has stressed the importance of ensuring all sides comply with any agreement, reflecting his stated aim of ending the conflict and preventing a return to violence. His team has indicated that there are red lines and safeguards to protect hostage families and to deter backsliding from any commitments reached at the talks.On the ground in Gaza and along the border, the Israeli military continues to balance restraint with readiness. While the Israeli army has halted offensive operations in Gaza as talks proceed, it has stressed that its priority remains the security of troops and civilians. There have been strikes attributed to Israeli forces in the Hamas-run territory, including targets in Khan Younis and Rafah, aimed at degrading Hamas’s capabilities and preventing attacks on Israeli forces. Medical authorities in Gaza report that more than 67,000 people have been killed or are presumed dead in the fighting, a toll that underscores the humanitarian cost of the conflict. Israel has said it has killed a substantial number of militants in Gaza and has noted casualties on the Palestinian side, alongside repeated assertions that it seeks to minimize civilian harm and to avoid using civilians as human shields.Two years after the October 7 assault, Hamas marked the anniversary with statements suggesting it views the episode as a turning point and reaffirming its goals, including a full ceasefire, the withdrawal of Israeli forces, and the return of displaced Palestinians. Hamas officials and affiliated media described the day as a milestone in their ongoing effort to rally support and press for a settlement that would end the war on terms favorable to their leadership and objectives.Security during the holiday period remains a top priority for Israel. The Chief of Staff directed the highest level of readiness for the duration of the Sukkot holiday, ordering drills, enhanced posture, and focused protection of critical events and gatherings. The defense establishment seeks to ensure that the public can observe the holiday with confidence, while maintaining the flexibility to respond decisively if circumstances require.In the wider regional context, security concerns persist beyond Gaza. Drones and other airborne threats continue to be a concern for border areas. Earlier today, unmanned aircraft activity near southern Israel prompted interceptions by air defenses, highlighting the ongoing risk environment that informs both regional diplomacy and domestic security calculations. The broader regional picture remains shaped by Iran’s network of influence across the region, including actions by proxies and allied movements, which adds complexity to any ceasefire or settlement and underscores the importance of credible assurances and close coordination with international partners.As talks proceed, observers in Jerusalem and Washington emphasize that any enduring arrangement will require accountability mechanisms, verified steps, and durable guarantees that both sides can accept. The United States, and its partners in the region, continue to advocate for an agreement that preserves Israel’s security needs while enabling humanitarian relief and a path toward stability.This is an evolving situation. We will monitor reports from Cairo, Jerusalem, and Washington and provide updates as new information becomes available.Thank you for tuning in to this Israel Today: Ongoing War Report update.I'm Noa Levi.

HEADLINESGaza Toll 67,000, Hostage Talks OngoingIran Israel Tensions Spark Gulf DeterrenceDamascus Kurdish Ceasefire Sparks Autonomy DebateThe time is now 12:00 PM in New York, I'm Noa Levi and this is the latest Israel Today: Ongoing War Report.This is your hourly news update. Major headlines this hour reflect a landscape of fragile pause, shifting alliances, and humanitarian strain from the Mediterranean to the Gaza Strip.First, on the broader security arc: the pause between Israel and Iran remains uneasy. Diplomats and security officials describe it as a careful balance that could tilt with a single miscalculation. Regional observers note that Tehran continues to signal readiness to respond to perceived provocations, while Jerusalem has repeatedly stressed that its security measures remain calibrated to deter threats from Iran and its networks. In the Gulf, Iranian state-linked media and officials have warned that any action affecting Iranian shipping would be met with swift retaliation, citing missile capabilities along the southern coast as a reminder of regional reach. The United States has underscored freedom of navigation and deterrence in the Gulf, even as it works with regional partners to manage tensions and to keep lines of communication open with Tehran.In Syria and the broader regional order, Damascus announced what it described as a comprehensive ceasefire with Kurdish forces after deadly clashes in Aleppo. The move follows a meeting between Syrian leadership and Kurdish representatives and includes arrangements on military deployment in the north and northeast. The development is being watched closely by international actors, including representatives of the United States, as it touches on the future governance of Kurdish areas and the balance of power inside Syria after the government’s reassertion of control in recent years. In Aleppo, civilians fled fighting in Kurdish-majority districts, even as state media and Kurdish forces reported varying incidents. The dynamics remain delicate, with Kurdish groups seeking guarantees for autonomy within a centralized state structure, a demand Damascus has resisted.Turning to Gaza and the Israeli-Hamas front: the humanitarian and military dimensions of the conflict remain stark. Palestinian health authorities continue to warn that the Gaza war has claimed a staggering number of lives—more than 67,000—roughly one third of the dead under 18, a toll that underscores the deep toll on civilians. Hospitals in Gaza report mounting pressure as shortages and crowded facilities persist. The United Nations children’s agency, citing access restrictions, says incubators from an evacuated hospital in North Gaza have not been released for transfer to facilities further south, contributing to a growing strain on newborn care. In parallel, the World Health Organization notes rising rates of premature and underweight babies in Gaza, amid ongoing disruptions to medical supplies and services.On the diplomatic and operational front in Gaza, negotiations continue over hostage releases and the conditions tied to any such exchanges. Hamas representatives described a two-day round of discussions focusing on maps for a future withdrawal and the timetable for freeing hostages, with the group insisting that the final release be paired with a broader agreement on Israeli withdrawal from Gaza. In parallel, reports from regional mediators indicate that Hamas seeks international guarantees to secure a comprehensive end to the conflict and a complete Israeli withdrawal, a stance that informs the tempo and the terms of any potential deal. The hostage issue remains a core driver of regional diplomacy, with families and advocacy groups pressing for transparency and progress.In Israel proper, domestic security events and the ongoing war environment continue to shape daily life and policy. An Israel Defense Forces soldier on leave was killed in a home incident in the West Bank settlement of Kiryat Arba after a Border Police officer discharged a personal weapon. A joint investigation by the military police and the Justice Ministry’s internal affairs department is underway to determine the circumstances. The tragedy has prompted renewed attention to the human costs of the conflict and to the procedures surrounding weapon handling by security forces.Two other developments touch on international politics and public life. Security concerns overshadowing sporting events drew formal notes from Italian and Norwegian authorities who said security measures will be heightened for World Cup qualifiers held in their countries, reflecting the persistent sense that large gatherings can become flashpoints in a volatile environment. On the global stage, the United States and several allied governments continue to pursue a policy of “peace through strength,” with a focus on deterring aggression and pressing for sustainable arrangements that preserve civilian safety, while remaining aligned with Israel’s security priorities as it faces multiple fronts.In political and public commentary, US President Donald Trump issued a letter thanking families of hostages who urged him to pursue peace efforts and to secure safe returns for those still missing. The letter emphasizes a commitment to bring all hostages home and to counter Hamas, framed within an overarching objective of ending the current hostilities. This reflects a continuity of regional policy discourse that prioritizes hostage recovery and security while seeking international backing for a durable settlement.International and cultural headlines of note include the continued discussion of broader security issues affecting Western democracies. In Britain, prosecutors are appealing a court decision to dismiss terrorism charges against a member of a music group tied to a controversial incident in London, a case that has drawn attention to the intersection of security law and public performances. In another thread of global life, Pope Leo XIV announced a six-day trip to Turkey and Lebanon later this year, highlighting ongoing religious and diplomatic outreach in a region central to security and humanitarian considerations. And in the realm of civil society, a posthumous exhibit honoring the first soldier killed in the Gaza war offers a moment of reflection on the human cost of years of conflict.As for the evolving storylines you will hear in the days ahead: observers will watch for any signs that the Syrian-Kurdish talks yield tangible steps toward stability and for any change in the posture of Iran and its Gulf partners. In Gaza, attention will focus on aid delivery, hospital capacity, and the status of hostage negotiations, alongside the humanitarian corridors that may shape daily life for civilians. In Israel, security incidents and the protection of civilians will remain central to policy and operations, even as the government seeks to sustain broader regional diplomacy in concert with partners in the United States and allied capitals.This is the latest snapshot of a region in flux, where fragile ceasefires, high-stakes diplomacy, and urgent humanitarian needs intersect with the daily rhythms of life inside Israel, in Gaza, and across the wider Middle East.

HEADLINESFragile Iran Israel ceasefire teeters on edgeGaza hostage talks collide with humanitarian catastropheRed Sea drone threat from HouthisThe time is now 11:01 AM in New York, I'm Noa Levi and this is the latest Israel Today: Ongoing War Report.A fragile ceasefire between Israel and Iran remains fragile and unsettled, with both sides signaling restraint while warning of red lines and the potential for independent action if confrontations escalate. In the meantime, Iran’s proxies in the region face a degraded operating environment as Israel presses its campaign against groups aligned with Tehran. In the north, Hezbollah’s capacity has been constrained by sustained Israeli strikes and a Lebanese government push to curb the organization, even as sporadic violence continues to flare near the border. Across the border in Syria, talk continues about how the regime in Damascus is consolidating influence, while Turkey and Syria discuss the long‑standing questions surrounding security and Kurdish forces, a conversation that also touches Israel’s regional posture.On the Gaza front, the hostage situation remains unresolved and continues to loom over ceasefire discussions in Egypt. Protests in support of a hostage deal have taken place across Israel, including in Tel Aviv and Jerusalem, as families emphasize the importance of securing the release of captives held since October 7, 2023. At the same time, Palestinians in Gaza face a dire humanitarian situation. UNICEF and other agencies report that Gaza’s youngest are bearing a heavy burden: doctors describe newborns and mothers under strain as hospitals cope with overcrowding and critical shortages. In Geneva, UNICEF cited that incubators moved from evacuated facilities are being blocked from transfer, leading to newborns sharing oxygen masks in crowded facilities; the World Health Organization notes a rising share of premature and underweight babies among Gaza’s newborns, reflecting two years of war.In the Lebanese theater, the IDF reported the deaths of two Hezbollah operatives in southern Lebanon in separate drone strikes within hours of each other. The first strike targeted Ali Issa, Hezbollah’s local liaison in the Deir Aames area, who the military said helped move funds and weapons and coordinated activity with local residents. The second strike hit an excavator operator described by the army as attempting to restore Hezbollah infrastructure. These actions occurred as part of ongoing exchanges along the border and as Lebanon’s government pressures Hezbollah to disarm and disband its network in the south, a process encouraged by Washington and allied capitals as part of broader regional stabilization efforts. The November ceasefire framework envisions the Lebanese army dismantling Hezbollah’s southern infrastructure, and Israeli and Lebanese authorities have warned that violations will be met with force.In the Gaza corridor, the humanitarian toll continues to mount even as hostages remain in captivity. A study from Reuters on Gaza’s health and humanitarian access notes that the war has intensified stress and malnutrition among pregnant mothers, contributing to increases in premature births and underweight babies. The implications reach hospital wards and neonatal units that already contend with crowded conditions and limited resources, underscoring the urgency of progress toward a durable political settlement and the safe handling of humanitarian aid into Gaza.On the security front outside the immediate theater of war, Houthi forces in Yemen continue to threaten maritime and air routes in the Red Sea region. Israeli air defenses intercepted four explosive-laden drones launched by the Houthis toward the southern resort city of Eilat within an hour on October 7, the anniversary of Hamas’s Oct. 7 attack that began the Gaza war. The drones caused no injuries or damage, but the flare of activity underscores Iran’s reach across the region and the depth of the conflict’s spillover. Israel has responded with cross‑border operations against Houthi sites in Yemen on multiple occasions since March, part of a broad campaign to deter Iran’s allied groups from extending their reach.International responses to the widening conflict include developments around regional diplomacy and defense trade. In the Gulf, the Dubai Airshow announced a “technical review” that led to the withdrawal of registrations for six Israeli defense companies, signaling another instance of stiffened political and regulatory barriers facing Israel’s security industry as tensions persist with several European partners over arms exports. Across Europe, Israel has faced restrictions on defense exhibitions and cooperation from several governments, reflecting a broader trend of calibrated engagement with Israel amid the Gaza war. The Emirati and broader Arab Gulf context remains a nuanced arena for security diplomacy, with cooperation and friction coexisting as countries weigh strategic interests in a volatile region.In Rome and Berlin, there are broader reflections on the anniversary of the war. A German chancellor’s remarks on antisemitism intersect with the memory of the Oct. 7 attacks and the continued danger to Jewish communities in Europe. The German commentary emphasizes that antisemitism must be rejected in all forms, reinforcing concerns about security and solidarity with Israel. In other developments, a Vatican delegation announced Pope Leo XIV’s first overseas trip since taking the papacy, with plans to visit Turkey and Lebanon in late November. The trip is expected to emphasize interfaith dialogue and peacebuilding in a region scarred by years of conflict, including the Gaza crisis and Lebanon’s security dynamics.On the hostage crisis and negotiations, a prominent line of discussion centers on how a potential deal would unfold and what terms would govern a staged release. Reports from multiple outlets suggest a plan that would return the full set of hostages after a period of negotiation and verification, triggering a broader political and diplomatic rhythm in the months ahead. In parallel, a high-profile outreach from leaders in the region highlights the need for a nationwide and international consensus to bring hostages home and to prevent further escalation.Domestic Israeli developments include renewed protests and vigils by hostage families and advocacy groups who press for transparency and accountability in the negotiations. Separately, Israeli authorities announced investigations into incidents involving military and security forces, including a fatal shooting in which a soldier died from an accidental discharge; the incident underscores the ongoing dangers and the intense pressure faced by security forces in a war zone. In addition, smaller human-interest stories—for example, a one-year-old child treated after a road accident in Rahat and several incidents in other communities—illustrate how the conflict continues to affect everyday life inside Israel’s borders.In the broader strategic frame, the United States continues to align with Israel’s security goals, with a policy stance under President Donald Trump described here as one focused on close coordination with Israel to pursue peace through strength. That approach has emphasized deterrence of Iran and allied proxies, support for hostage-release efforts, and a focus on maintaining momentum against Hamas and its allies, while seeking to prevent a wider regional conflagration. Washington’s posture toward Iran and its network of partners in the region remains central to the security calculus faced by Israel and its allies as events unfold.Pope Leo XIV’s upcoming trip to the region, along with ongoing discussions in Cairo and other capitals about hostage release and ceasefire arrangements, adds a diplomatic dimension to a conflict that continues to unfold on multiple fronts. At the same time, the international community watches for signals about the pace and terms of any negotiations with Hamas and its partners, the deployment of humanitarian aid to Gaza, and the readiness of local and regional actors to adhere to ceasefire understandings.In sum, the day’s landscape presents a still-fragile balance: a war‑scarred Gaza, a Lebanon and Syria arena where state forces and nonstate actors contest control, Yemen’s Houthis maintaining pressure from afar, and regional and international powers weighing their next moves as they seek to prevent a broader regional collapse. The path forward depends on a careful mix of credible deterrence, credible diplomacy, and steady humanitarian relief, aligned with a strategic posture that prizes security for Israel and stability for the region while honoring commitments to hostage families and international law.Thank you for tuning in to this Israel Today: Ongoing War Report update.I'm Noa Levi.

HEADLINESCeasefire Shaken Hezbollah Strikes IsraelHouthis Fire Drones at EilatAid Talks Drive Gaza Toward Troop ExitThe time is now 10:00 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 from the newsroom. The ceasefire between Israel and Iran’s regional proxies remains fragile, with both sides signaling restraint on some fronts even as demonstrable tensions persist. In the north, Hezbollah conducted attacks from southern Lebanon that Israel says violated ceasefire understandings, and Israel responded with targeted strikes against Hezbollah assets and operatives. The Lebanese government continues to press a path toward disarming Hezbollah, even as the group remains capable of launching attacks and influencing security across the border. In the Gaza arena, Hamas remains diminished in leadership and capability since the war’s earlier days, but the hostage crisis and the broader humanitarian crisis in Gaza continue to anchor regional diplomacy and local tensions. On the ground, Israeli officials insist that any long‑term stability will depend on preserving security guarantees that protect civilians and prevent another mass incursion, while international actors urge alternatives to broader escalation.Iran’s proxies continue to shape the security picture. In Lebanon, the IDF said two Hezbollah operatives were killed in separate drone strikes within hours, including a local representative and an operative operating an excavator linked to efforts to restore Hezbollah infrastructure. The IDF underscored that such activity breaches understandings with Lebanon’s armed forces and threatens regional stability. In Yemen, the Iran‑backed Houthis maintained a steady drumbeat of attacks against Israel, including four drones shot down over the Red Sea resort city of Eilat within a single afternoon during Sukkot, and a broader tally of dozens of missiles and drones launched since March. Israel responded with repeated strikes against Houthi targets in Yemen, a campaign the military has described as ongoing and necessary to deter threats to Israel’s southern cities and maritime traffic.In the regional diplomacy track, Syria and Turkey’s foreign ministers are slated to meet to discuss a wide range of issues, including Damascus’s relationship with Israel and the Kurdish question, as well as the integration of Kurdish forces within the Syrian army. That engagement comes amid an ongoing effort to recalibrate alliances in the region, with Damascus and Ankara signaling a desire to manage tensions while stabilizing border regions. The Syrian regime remains the dominant political actor, and discussions are expected to touch on how Syria’s security posture intersects with Israeli security concerns and cross‑border dynamics.On the hostage and Gaza relief front, efforts to broker a comprehensive agreement persist, with various reporting suggesting that any settlement would hinge on the delivery of aid and a path to eventual troop withdrawal from Gaza. A Qatari official has indicated that discussions include a framework in which Israel could receive back hostages over time, though many details remain unresolved and conditions on the ground are fluid. The humanitarian situation in Gaza continues to drive international attention and complicate negotiation dynamics, even as Israel notes the imperative of ensuring the safety of its civilian population and countering Hamas’s residual capabilities and networks.Internationally, the war’s reach is felt beyond battlegrounds. The Dubai and wider European arms‑trade environment has shifted, with Israeli defense firms excluded from the upcoming Dubai Airshow after a “technical review,” a development echoed by recent restrictions in other countries on Israeli defense participation. In parallel, a flotilla confrontation remained a focal point of international attention: activists aboard Gaza‑bound flotillas were intercepted, with deportations arranged to Jordan and other destinations as part of broader diplomatic efforts to manage protest flotillas and humanitarian claims. The handling of the flotilla and the deportations drew sharp political reactions, including public commentary from political figures abroad, underscoring the global sensitivity to Gaza’s humanitarian crisis and to Israel’s blockade policy, which Israel asserts is necessary to curb arms smuggling to Hamas.Domestically, Israel remains in a posture of preparedness and reflection as it marks the October 7 anniversary. Military units continue to monitor potential flashpoints along the Gaza envelope and in the north, with historical accounts of the battlefield realities of that day serving as a reminder of the enduring threat environment. In parallel, cultural and religious observances during Sukkot have infused the public discourse with themes of resilience and humility, even as security concerns dominate the national mood. Across the region, leadership in neighboring countries continues to weigh how to balance pressure from allies with security needs and public sentiment, particularly as discussions about Hezbollah’s future and disarmament proceed in Beirut and beyond. Internationally significant developments also include high‑level religious and political travel: a scheduled papal visit to Lebanon and Turkey aims to emphasize peace and interfaith dialogue in a country and region long buffeted by sectarian tension. At the same time, political rhetoric on the global stage reflects the ongoing clash of views over how to address the Gaza crisis, Iran’s regional influence, and the role of Western powers in shaping a durable security framework that can deter aggression while preserving humanitarian norms and regional stability.Looking ahead, the core questions remain: can a sustainable security framework be forged that deters Iran’s proxies, preserves Israel’s security guarantees, and allows for a credible humanitarian corridor into Gaza? What role will regional partners play in disarming non‑state actors while maintaining a balance of power that discourages reversion to mass violence? And how will the international community, including the United States with a pro‑Israel stance framed around peace through strength, coordinate diplomatic and military pressure to advance a durable peace rather than a fragile, episodic pause in fighting?For listeners seeking context, the central fact remains: Israel faces a multi‑front threat picture, with Iran’s proxies active across Lebanon and Yemen, a Gaza situation still driven by hostage concerns and humanitarian constraints, and regional diplomacy attempting to slow escalation while addressing security guarantees. The path to a steadier horizon will rely on sustained deterrence, credible diplomacy, and firm, coordinated action with international partners aligned in seeking peace through strength.
