Episode Details

An agreement between Iran and Oman to reopen the Strait of Hormuz is reportedly in its final stages, though Iran insists the US must meet certain conditions first. Meanwhile, Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu has rejected a proposed Gaza reconstruction plan, vowing no withdrawal until Hamas is disarmed and reiterating his opposition to a Palestinian state. In US policy, a bipartisan Senate bill aims to provide Lebanon with significant security assistance to counter Hezbollah. We also cover the ongoing debate over alleged mistreatment of soldiers at Rambam Hospital, the collapse of negotiations for Israel's Joint List political faction, and concerning reports of a child's death in a hot car and an assault in Eilat.
