Tensions escalate in the Israel-Gaza conflict as Israel accuses Hamas of holding unrealistic demands amidst peace talks. A ship carrying aid attempts delivery via a maritime corridor, initiated by a U.S. nonprofit and a Spanish search-and-rescue group. Meanwhile, Israel aims to control the Gaza-Egypt border, raising concerns in Cairo over peace agreements. The U.S. carries out airstrikes in Iraq and Syria, targeting Iranian-linked militants in retaliation for an attack that killed three U.S. service members in Jordan. Diplomatic efforts intensify to prevent a broader Israel-Lebanon conflict.
