 HEADLINESIran warns US war would be regionalGaza hospital director exposed as Hamas colonelRafah crossing opens as peace plan nearsThe time is now 5:01 PM in New York, I'm Noa Levi and this is the latest Israel Today: Ongoing War Report.In the conflict with Iran and its Regional Proxies, Iran’s foreign minister Abbas Araghchi told CNN that President Trump is being dragged toward war by “certain elements, certain parties” seeking conflict for their own benefit, while stressing Iran remains open to a nuclear deal but wary of the United States as a negotiating partner. He said those elements and parties include references to Israel, segments of the US Jewish community, members of the Iranian diaspora and anti-regime movements, as well as Crown Prince Reza Pahlavi, and he warned that miscalculations could trigger war. Iran’s supreme leader Ayatollah Ali Khamenei also warned that any war started by the US would be a regional war, emphasizing the need to avoid miscalculation and misinformation while expressing cautious optimism that President Trump could choose correctly. In Washington, Israel’s security outlook grew more urgent as IDF Chief of Staff Eyal Zamir conducted secret strategic talks about possible action against Iran, with Israeli officials pressing for a focus on the nuclear issue and for missile demands to be set aside to keep talks on track. On the Syria front, Damascus said a terror cell used weapons supplied by Hezbollah to strike a Damascus neighborhood and a nearby military airport, and the group allegedly planned further drone attacks, even as Hezbollah denies any activity in Syria.In the Disputed Territories, a Gaza doctor and hospital director who criticized Israel in two New York Times op-eds has been revealed to be a Hamas colonel. Dr. Hussam Abu Safiya, director of Kamal Adwan Hospital in Beit Lahiya, was arrested by the IDF on December 27, 2024, and remains in an Israeli prison as campaigns for his release unfold; Amnesty International has urged unconditional release, while Lyon awarded him honorary citizenship, and a 2016 photograph has surfaced showing him in Hamas uniform at a gathering of Hamas elites. Separately, US pressure that opened the Rafah crossing and moved toward Phase II of the Trump peace plan has left the Gaza technocratic committee, which lacks a headquarters, operating on an ad hoc basis for now, according to a Palestinian source.In US Policy Concerning Israel, US Ambassador to Israel Huckabee said it would be difficult to imagine Washington acting without Jerusalem in a scenario involving Iran, underscoring the close coordination expected between the two capitals. Separately, the US Navy said the missile destroyer USS Delbert D. Black departed Israel’s Red Sea port of Ellat after a scheduled visit, with NAVCENT stressing the stop highlighted the strong US–Israel maritime partnership and shared commitment to security in the Red Sea and Gulf of Aqaba, noting the visit was pre-planned as part of ongoing military cooperation.In Israeli Domestic Politics, the High Court of Justice is set to hear a petition from Ras Ein al-Auja residents alleging that sustained settler violence and insufficient intervention by the IDF and police have driven displacement. Respondents say security forces operate continuously to prevent friction and that several claims are unsubstantiated or inaccurate, while petitioners describe a months-long pattern of harassment, grazing takeovers, infrastructure damage and livestock theft tied to nearby illegal settler outposts, constituting a “quiet expulsion” of the community. In a separate development, a group of former hostages and their relatives demanded the resignation of Gal Hirsch, the government’s hostage point man, after he said in interviews that mass demonstrations on behalf of hostages had aided Hamas; the letter accused Hirsch of blackmailing families and undermining their struggle, while Hirsch told The Times of Israel that the protests had amplified Hamas propaganda. A parallel statement from the Hostages and Missing Families Forum echoed the call for his resignation, asserting that Hirsch used his position to pressure families and that survivors suffered as a result, including claims about the death toll and medical care.Thank you for tuning in to this Israel Today: Ongoing War Report update.I'm Noa Levi.
