Qatari news outlet Al-Araby Al-Jadeed reported an Egyptian source on Sunday as saying that an Egyptian delegation visited Tel Aviv last week “in an attempt to reach an agreement to end the war,” as part of Qatari and Egyptian mediation efforts between Israel and Hamas.
According to the source, no headway was made in the meeting despite several outlines presented to Israeli officials.
Maronite Patriarch Béchara Raï reiterated his support Sunday for the US-brokered framework agreement signed between Lebanon and Israel in late June, describing it during his Sunday homily as a "national path to resolving outstanding issues, consolidating a just, comprehensive and lasting peace, and preserving the state's sovereignty over its entire territory."
US embassies in Jerusalem, Baghdad and Amman issued security alerts Saturday urging American citizens to exercise "heightened vigilance," as tensions flare between Iran and the United States. Americans were also told to "consider departing, or be prepared to depart should there be escalation."
President Donald Trump said Friday that Israel was "very happy" with an agreement reached by his so-called Board of Peace for the complete disarmament of Hamas and other armed Palestinian groups in Gaza.
