 HEADLINESIran warns war disaster, possible US dealRafah crossing reopens under tight Israeli limitsHostages families accuse coordinator of deceptionThe time is now 2:02 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, tensions and competing narratives continue to shape the regional outlook. An opinion piece argues against dialogue with the Tehran regime, describing it as illegitimate, malign, and a destabilizing force whose crisis-manufacturing behavior has persisted for decades. The piece questions the value of engagement with a government it portrays as a corrupt, mafia-like regime that lacks legitimacy or popular support. At the same time, the Israeli military said it struck a Hezbollah operative in southern Lebanon, the third such strike reported today, underscoring ongoing cross-border violence. In Tehran, Iran’s foreign minister told CNN that war would be an disaster for all sides, while asserting that a deal with the United States on the nuclear program could be reached if sanctions relief and recognition of Iran’s rights are addressed, and stressing that the focus should be on Iran’s capabilities rather than rhetorical debates. He said that Iran has grown wary of the United States as a negotiating partner. A separate account quoted remarks suggesting that a US strike could spark a regional war, with President Trump signaling openness to a deal but warning that failure would test calculations on both sides. Additionally, an Israeli drone strike targeted a vehicle in the southern Lebanese town of Harouf, described as the day’s third strike against Hezbollah activity. Taken together, the reporting this hour depicts a region where diplomacy remains entangled with military actions and heightened warnings from multiple capitals.In the Disputed Territories (Gaza, Judea and Samaria, East Jerusalem), concern over the trajectory of Gaza-related violence is rising. The National Committee for the Administration of Gaza and the Board of Peace, led by Nickolay Mladenov, denounced weekend violence and ceasesfire breaches, noting Hamas operatives emerging from tunnels in Rafah and Israeli strikes that killed civilians; the statements emphasize the risks to progress under UN Security Council Resolution 2803 and the Trump 20-Point Peace Plan and call on all sides to exercise restraint as Gaza prepares to assume civilian and security responsibilities. Separately, Rafah Crossing reopened on Sunday under highly limited Israeli conditions described as a major achievement given the circumstances before the massacre, with Prime Minister Netanyahu portraying the move as a result of resisting international pressure to allow operation under far weaker standards. The reopening is framed against the historical context of the crossing as Hamas’ smuggling route and the broader security considerations along the Gaza frontier. A report from a West Bank rescue group described an incident involving a bus in the region with window damage, reflecting ongoing public safety concerns in the territory, even as broader ceasefire management and reconstruction efforts move forward.In US Policy Concerning Israel, watchers assess how Washington’s stance is shaping Israeli security decisions. An analysis of Netanyahu’s remarks at a recent press conference reviews his assertion that an arms embargo cost Israeli lives and notes the contentious framing around US policy during the Trump era, raising questions about aims and timing in public diplomacy with the Biden administration. Former Secretary of State Mike Pompeo argues that Trump will deliver on Iran and contends Gaza should not be transferred to the Palestinian Authority, stressing that threats to the Iranian regime will materialize and that Hamas cannot be expected to lay down its arms; he also rejects the idea of handing Gaza to the PA after a conflict, arguing for a continued security-focused approach. In Washington, top US and Israeli generals met at the Pentagon to discuss tensions surrounding Iran, reflecting ongoing high-level coordination as both nations monitor regional risk and the potential for escalation.In Antisemitism and Anti-Jewish Hate, new research highlights how incidents of hate are perceived and confronted across communities in the United Kingdom. A University of West London study found that victims’ initial responses to religiously motivated hate vary by community: Jews and Hindus more often report outward inaction, while Muslims display a broader spectrum of responses, including verbal confrontation and seeking formal help. The research, examining 2023 data on religious hate crimes in Britain, notes Muslims accounted for about 39% of victims, Jews roughly 17%, and Hindus about 3%, underscoring the disproportionate burden borne by Jewish communities that represent less than 1% of the population but account for a notable share of religious hate-crime victims.
