HEADLINES
Israel changes rules of the Iran war
US troops stationed at Israeli bases
Netanya wins Bloomberg Mayors Challenge prize
The time is now 5:02 AM 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, a senior Saudi analyst Abd al-Rahman al-Rashed says Israel has changed the rules of the game as tensions with Tehran intensify. The report cites the ongoing Geneva talks between the United States and Iran and notes a sequence of regional developments, including the money-maze case with an indictment against former Nazareth mayor Ali Salam and leaders of the Bakri crime network, a visit by Narendra Modi to Israel with a stop at Yad Vashem, and continuing security concerns over arms smuggling into Gaza. The analysis also frames US proposals in a light reminiscent of historic Persian-era moves, underscoring a shifting regional calculus.
In US Policy Concerning Israel, Amir Bouhbot reports that hundreds of American troops have been stationed at Israeli bases as part of preparations for a possible act. In Geneva, the Oman embassy hosted a round of talks where the Omani foreign minister sat with Steve Vitkof and Jared Kushner at a table attended by others, with food and drink present, near the place where he sat.
In Israeli Economy and Business, fuel prices are set to rise by 14 agorot after Shabbat, with the new price for 95-octane gasoline at self-serve stations at 7.02 shekels per liter, and in Eilat at 5.95 shekels per liter, up 12 agorot.
In Uplifting News, Netanya has been named one of Bloomberg Philanthropies’ Mayors Challenge winning cities, receiving a $1 million prize to support a parks-based initiative. Netanya’s Kesher Nolad program will bring child development professionals to parks to work with parents and children, providing tools and guidance, with the aim of giving every child an equal opportunity and strengthening the community. Netanya Mayor Avi Slama said the project reflects the city’s commitment to supporting families.
