US forces have conducted strikes on Iran's Qeshm Island, a strategically vital location for threatening maritime traffic, amidst ongoing US-Iran tensions. Israel has shared intelligence with the US and Gulf states concerning Iran's advancements in chemical weapons technology for missiles, though US officials reportedly show divided reactions regarding its credibility. In a significant policy development, former US President Donald Trump announced an agreement with Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu to end nearly $4 billion in annual US military aid to Israel by year's end, a move he linked to domestic cost-of-living issues. Meanwhile, Syria's new government is actively dismantling Hezbollah operations within its borders, and Germany has reported a sharp rise in Islamist-motivated antisemitic crimes post-October 7th. In Israeli domestic politics, the Central Elections Committee clarified its limited authority over election result approvals. Singer Boy George also visited the Nova music festival massacre site, expressing solidarity.

US President Donald Trump has announced a deal with Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu to cease US military aid to Israel after the end of 2026, a move criticized by Yair Golan as a severe blow to Israeli security.
