The deal still requires final approval from Trump and Iran's Supreme Leader, while the mechanism for removing the uranium remains under negotiation.\n\n■ Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu said he and U.S. President Donald Trump agreed that any future deal with Iran must eliminate Tehran's nuclear capabilities, including dismantling enrichment facilities and removing enriched uranium from Iranian territory.\n\n■ Trump said he instructed U.S. negotiators not to rush into an agreement with Iran, adding that the Strait of Hormuz blockade would remain in place until a deal is signed. He later said any agreement \"depends only on me\" and would be \"good news\" because he does not make \"bad deals.\"\n\n■ Trump shared a post quoting Iranian President Masoud Pezeshkian saying Tehran is \"ready to assure the world\" it is not seeking nuclear weapons, while Netanyahu posted an AI-generated image of himself alongside Trump with the caption: \"Iran will never have a nuclear weapon.\"\n\n■ The IDF issued evacuation warnings to 16 villages and towns in southern Lebanon over the course of the day, saying Hezbollah had violated the cease-fire agreement and warning residents to distance themselves from Hezbollah positions.\n\n■ Hezbollah launched an explosive drone toward Israeli troops near the Israel-Lebanon border, according to the IDF. The drone detonated in Israeli territory and no injuries were reported.\n\n■ Medics in Gaza said an Israeli airstrike in the Nuseirat refugee camp killed three people, including a six-month-old infant. The IDF did not immediately comment.\n\n■ Gaza's Human Rights Center accused Israel of systematically destroying remaining residential buildings in the Strip through evacuation warnings followed by airstrikes, saying at least 12 such incidents were documented in May.\n\n■ Israel's Foreign Ministry summoned Spain's chargé d'affaires after accusing Spanish police of using \"serious violence\" against Gaza flotilla activists, while criticizing Madrid for condemning Israel's naval blockade.\n\n■ Arab and Muslim countries, including Saudi Arabia, Egypt, Jordan and Pakistan, condemned Israel's reported plan to open a Somaliland embassy in Jerusalem, calling it a violation of international law.",

"title": "Inside the IDF's intelligence file on killing of Hamas military chief Izz al-Din al-Haddad",
"body": "IDF confirms death of Hamas military chief Izz ad-Din al-Haddad, May 16, 2026.\n\nAmong the Intelligence Directorate, Izz al-Din al-Haddad was defined as an extremely cautious person, bordering on paranoid. He was someone who did not sleep in the same place twice, who implemented decisions at the front lines of terrorist activity against Israel with obsessive attention to micro-tactics, and who survived for many years while in the crosshairs of the IDF and Shin Bet.\n\nBut last Friday, at 7:45 p.m., al-Haddad made the biggest and final mistake of his life.\n\nHe emerged above ground to an apartment in the heart of Gaza City to meet his family. He was certain the tentacles of Israeli intelligence would not reach him there. He was wrong.\n\nNow, after the dramatic targeted killing of the man who had become the de facto commander of Hamas's military wing and the organization's leader in the Gaza Strip, Walla received an exclusive look into the military intelligence behind the operation.\n\nA dramatic turning point came in the Gaza Strip even before the ceasefire agreement led by US President Donald Trump, reflected by a series of compromises to which Hamas's leadership agreed.\n\nThe dramatic turning point in the Gaza Strip, as it was marked in the IDF Intelligence Directorate, was reflected in a series of compromises to which Hamas's leadership agreed. This was even before the ceasefire agreement led by US President Donald Trump, and came as a direct result of the massive pressure the IDF exerted on the ground.\n\nMassive military pressure exerted by the IDF on the ground matured into the return of all living hostages and hostage remains to Israel, alongside agreement on the principles of the American framework, which included the reconstruction of the Gaza Strip and the IDF's withdrawal from deep inside Palestinian territory, subject to Hamas's disarmament.\n\nAccording to a Military Intelligence assessment, under the command of Maj. Gen. Shlomi Binder, Hamas was very weak at the time, with a shaky hold on Gaza. That is why it agreed to a shift that stood in complete contrast to the previous policy and plans of its senior leadership.\n\nThat is not the situation today. Hamas succeeded during the ceasefire period in expanding its base of support on the Palestinian street in Gaza, and has defined it as \"stable.\"\n\n'The Izz al-Din al-Haddad file'\n\nAt the same time, Military Intelligence emphasizes that the threat from the Gaza Strip has decreased dramatically, thanks to the IDF's achievements and the insistence of Southern Command chief Maj. Gen. Yaniv Asor on maintaining those gains through targeted killings and proactive operations, with the assistance of Military Intelligence units and based on the deployment along the Yellow Line.\n\nTherefore, when examining Hamas up until last Friday at 7:45 p.m., moments before the targeted killing, Military Intelligence saw al-Haddad as Hamas's most important and central figure in terms of leadership, military affairs, diplomacy, governance, and familiarity with Israel.\n\nTo look inside al-Haddad's file in Military Intelligence, Walla spoke this week with a 35-year-old officer holding a sensitive position in the Intelligence Directorate.\n\nHe began his IDF service as a combat soldier, advanced through the ranks, was discharged, and later returned to service because that was what felt \"most meaningful, and what interested\" him.\n\nAlong the way, he held positions in the Planning Directorate before moving to the Intelligence Directorate. In the past, he dealt with the northern arena. Over the past two years, among other things, he has researched and examined Hamas's activity in depth across all arenas, not only in the Gaza Strip, but also in Judea and Samaria, Lebanon, Turkey, and elsewhere.\n\n\"Izz al-Din al-Haddad is from the generation of commanders who carried out the October 7 massacre. He filled all the most important roles that could be filled along his path, but certainly and certainly throughout the war. In the end, he was the Gaza brigade commander, which is the largest and most significant brigade in Hamas,\" said the officer holding the sensitive position in Military Intelligence.\n\nReferring to the narrative that formed around the arch-terrorist in Israeli public discourse, and to his attitude toward the hostages, the officer added, \"in the end, it really came from a very, very utilitarian place. It must be understood that this was a very mission-oriented person, who took his role very seriously, and as someone who was truly entrusted to a large extent with this issue of the hostages. He saw them as a tool he needed to preserve for Hamas's interests. Therefore, he also treated them accordingly, so that he could fulfill Hamas's interests and excel in carrying out his role. He used them both to protect himself, and also to ensure that Hamas would get what it wanted.\"\n\nThe manhunt for al-Haddad lasted many years. He was in the crosshairs of the IDF and Shin Bet many times, including since October 7. In Military Intelligence, this was defined as a \"window for opportunities.\"\n\nMilitary Intelligence rejected the assessment that al-Haddad developed an illusion of immunity or felt too safe because of the ceasefire, and that complacency led to his \"big mistake.\"\n\nThe reality is more complex. The Intelligence Directorate clarified that other senior Hamas officials, who felt no sense of security and were extremely cautious, also ultimately made a critical mistake and were eliminated.\n\n'In the end, get to everyone'\n\nUltimately, what led to al-Haddad's major mistake was his decision to meet his family in an above-ground apartment in the heart of Gaza City.\n\nHe believed it was secret and that the details would be kept far from the tentacles of Israeli intelligence. This was despite the fact that intelligence officials had defined him as \"very cautious, bordering on paranoid.\"\n\nThe officer holding the sensitive position added, \"In the end, like, we get to everyone. It doesn't matter how you turn it around.\"\n\nA profile that was placed on the desk of the head of Military Intelligence, Maj. Gen. Binder, defined al-Haddad as a high-level leader who was highly influential on several levels. He had a strong ability to divide his attention, was a micro-tactical manager \"at the most extreme levels,\" and, while doing so, also knew how to make people appreciate and respect him.\n\nMilitary Intelligence further claimed that this was also how he saw himself: as a senior figure. He was always defined by Hamas's senior leadership as highly dominant, and it was said that \"it did not go to his head\" at any stage.\n\nHis presence stood out even more in the training sessions that preceded October 7, when he went to oversee their progress together with Raad Saad, a senior figure in the military wing who was eliminated during the war, in what, in hindsight, turned out to be preparations for the massacre.\n\nIn addition, he was defined as deeply religious and deeply ideological, even compared with other figures in the organization.\n\nHe saw armed \"resistance\" as the central and only path against Israel. Even if he was prepared to make certain concessions, they were intended to preserve Hamas's survival and ensure that it would continue to exist.\n\nAccording to the officer holding the sensitive position, if al-Haddad could have, he would have carried out October 7 again with the same level of cruelty that he himself planned.\n\nWhen al-Haddad took control of the military wing, he pushed with full force to advance clear processes throughout the Gaza Strip: rebuilding military and governing capabilities, preparing for an Israeli attack, and, as was his habit, drilling down to the smallest details.\n\nHe was dominant in his influence and did not for a moment abandon the connection between the political leadership, the broader policy and ideology, and the field.\n\nHis evil was reflected in his Military Intelligence file as a highly controlling figure, one who led and approved matters down to the smallest details, including massacres and violence against Palestinian merchants who did not comply with Hamas policy, shooting at clans in the Strip that challenged Hamas, executions in the streets in the name of deterrence, and the pursuit of figures suspected of collaborating.\n\nFor the security establishment, his targeted killing was not just another tactical operation, but a critical strategic move aimed at changing the balance of power in the Strip.\n\nMilitary Intelligence's updated assessments outline a deep leadership vacuum at the top of Hamas. As of now, there is no figure in the military wing who can enter the role smoothly. Even Mohammed Odeh, who was marked in Palestinian reports as a successor, would struggle to fill the vacuum.\n\nHamas predicted to continue challenging IDF in Gaza\n\nAt the same time, Military Intelligence assesses that Hamas will continue to challenge Israel in the Gaza Strip even after the targeted killing, and that the spirit of resistance will be preserved, even from within the tunnels, safe apartments, and under the heavy pressure exerted by the IDF.\n\n\"Hamas is an Islamic military resistance movement. It is deep in its DNA, and even if there is another commander who will be willing to take pragmatic considerations over a short period of time, and even if he is less dominant as a leader, in the end, the ideology is the same ideology,\" said the officer holding the sensitive position in Military Intelligence.\n\nThe officer noted that within Hamas, there is a belief in the prophecy of Sheikh Ahmed Yassin, who was eliminated by the IDF, according to which the State of Israel will not exist in 2027.\n\nAccording to Military Intelligence assessments, Hamas will make all kinds of changes and speak about justifications for the claim: why it did not happen in 2027, and will lead the public to 2028 or another year on the calendar.\n\nBut this was, and remains, a very deep belief that the Zionist entity and the \"occupation,\" as Hamas perceives it, \"will disappear and be erased from the world.\" This perception is reflected in Hamas's charter, and its leaders say this from every possible platform even today.\n\nToward the end of the conversation, Walla asked the officer: If his friends outside military service asked him what the most significant impact of al-Haddad's targeted killing was, what would he say in simple language?\n\nThis is what he answered: \"Serious organizations need serious leadership, and I think that by getting rid of him, I think there are no other leaders of his stature at the top of Hamas today. I distill it to this, that I think there will be a challenge here in command of the military wing, and there may also be a delay in the processes it is trying to advance, and I think it is truly important that until Hamas disarms, in the end no one is immune, certainly not the commander of the military wing, and I think that has a lot of strategic value,\" he clarified, and with that the officer ended the conversation.",

"body": "По сообщениям иранских государственных СМИ, в канун Шавуота еврейская община Исфахана провела массовое мероприятие в синагоге \"Кетер-Давид\". Церемония, приуроченная ко второй годовщине гибели бывшего президента Ибрахима Раиси, было преподнесена как \"обновление союза с идеалами Исламской Республики\".\n\nДепутат парламента, представитель еврейской общины Хомаюн Самех, критически относящийся к Израилю, выступил на церемонии с речью. По его словам, еврейская община Ирана не отделяет себя от государства и не является сионистской. Парламентарий сослался на позицию аятоллы Хомейни, согласно которой иудаизм и сионизм должны быть четко разделены. Самех раскритиковал иранские СМИ за то, что в некоторых программах и лозунгах они не проводят различия между терминами \"еврей\" и \"сионист\", и сообщил, что написал руководству с просьбой исправить этот подход.\n\nОрганизаторы подчеркнули, что праздник Шавуот дает возможность укрепить приверженность божественным и национальным идеалам. В завершение церемонии был зачитан официальный документ, получивший в сообщениях СМИ название \"Присяга на верность лидеру революции Моджтабе Хаменеи\".",

"body": "В Иране считают, что перехватили беспилотник ЦАХАЛа во время \"шпионской деятельности\" в районе одной из провинций.\n\nИранская армия сбила разведывательный и наблюдательный беспилотник ЦАХАЛа в провинции Хормозган на фоне растущих ожиданий скорого подписания меморандума о взаимопонимании по возможному мирному соглашению между Ираном и США.\n\nОб этом сообщает информационное агентство Mehr.\n\nКак утверждает агентство, обломки разбитого дрона Orbiter, произведенного в Израиле, были обнаружены при участии иранских военно-морских сил. В то же время ЦАХАЛ заявляет, что информация о таком инциденте не посмтупала.\n\nКак уже сообщалось, следующая потенциальная фаза конфликта между Израилем и Ираном может оказаться ключевой и существенно повлиять на баланс сил на Ближнем Востоке.\n\nПо оценкам аналитиков, два предыдущих этапа противостояния нанесли Тегерану ощутимый урон, однако не лишили его способности к восстановлению военного потенциала.\n\nПервый этап был ориентирован на ограничение развития иранской ядерной программы и позволил заметно замедлить её прогресс. Второй этап, в свою очередь, был сфокусирован на ударах по структурам военного управления и стратегическим объектам инфраструктуры.\n\nРанее \"Курсор\" писал, что Источники в израильской системе безопасности отмечают, что в Иране остаются цели, которые не были поражены ВВС ЦАХАЛ в ходе операции \"Рык льва\", однако, по их словам, этап подготовки к завершению миссии фактически близится к финалу.\n\nПо информации военных источников, потенциальный перечень целей может включать не только военные объекты, но и элементы гражданско-промышленной инфраструктуры -- в том числе транспортные Исламской республики.",

"title": "Arab parties urge Ra'am to join efforts to revive Joint List ahead of elections",
"body": "Leaders of the Arab parties celebrate after signing an agreement to work towards a Joint List in Sakhnin, January 22, 2026. (Courtesy of Hadash-Ta'al)\n\nThree of the four Arab-majority political parties reiterated their readiness to form a joint electoral list ahead of the upcoming elections, and called on the fourth, the Islamist Ra'am, to join the effort even though its officials have declined to take part in recent consultations.\n\nThe appeal from Hadash, Ta'al, and Balad on Sunday came after months of deadlock in negotiations to revive the four-party Joint List slate. The slate first formed in 2015 and split up in 2021 after Ra'am, headed by Mansour Abbas, broke away from the other parties to join the short-lived coalition led by then-prime ministers Naftali Bennett and Yair Lapid.\n\nThe slate collapsed altogether ahead of the 2022 elections when the nationalist Balad pursued an ultimately unsuccessful solo run, leaving the remaining two parties to form the joint Hadash-Ta'al list.\n\nIn a joint statement on Sunday, Hadash, Ta'al, and Balad said that they \"would want Ra'am to also be a partner in the political agreement, but we are aware of significant gaps in positions between us relating to the nature and path of the Joint List.\"\n\nThe statement appeared to be a reference to Ra'am's declared openness to joining a governing coalition following the election, which no other Arab party has done for decades.\n\nBut Hadash, Ta'al, and Balad added that due to \"existential dangers\" Arab parties are facing, they nevertheless wanted to include Ra'am in an agreement to form a new Joint List in order \"to strengthen Arab representation and overthrow the extremist right-wing government.\"\n\nHistorically the largest and most influential of the Arab factions, Hadash has long championed re-establishing the unified slate of Arab parties.\n\nIn January, the four parties signed an agreement committing to work together to revive the list ahead of this year's elections, which can be held no later than October 27. That agreement was a response to grassroots pressure from Arab Israeli communities that are facing an unprecedented wave of deadly crime.\n\nBut little progress has been made since due to Ra'am's insistence that it be allowed to join the slate for the election alone, and then break away after the vote and independently pursue a spot in a governing coalition.\n\nBennett, considered the most credible candidate to unseat Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu, has rejected Ra'am as a potential coalition partner despite having led the 2021-2022 government that included the Islamist party. He has said his next government would include only Zionist parties and that, following the Hamas-led October 7, 2023, invasion and massacre, Israel's coalition should not depend on an Arab party.\n\nOther opposition leaders have also either explicitly rejected Arab parties as coalition partners or called for a purely Zionist government, which would mean Arab parties are excluded. Meanwhile, Netanyahu and his supporters regularly condemn and delegitimize Arab parties.\n\nOn Sunday, Channel 13 reported that Netanyahu was seeking to outlaw Ra'am as a terror group ahead of the elections. In a post on X, Abbas called the reported plan \"anti-democratic\" and said his party would answer at the ballot box.\n\nOnly Yair Golan, the leader of the left-wing Democrats, has openly encouraged his fellow opposition leaders to partner with Ra'am again, and urged them to \"stop playing along\" with the demonization of the party.\n\nDespite uniting sharply dissonant ideological views -- ranging from the secular socialist Hadash to religious conservative Ra'am -- the Joint List alliance had a track record of energizing Arab voters and bringing the sector unprecedented political influence.\n\nFrom its formation in 2015 until Ra'am's departure in 2021, the Joint List was the third-largest bloc in the 120-seat Knesset. At its peak in 2020, it won 15 seats.",

"body": "مقتل مسلح أطلق النار قرب البيت الأبيض: من هو نصير بيست الذي ادعى أنه 'المسيح'؟\n\nشهد محيط البيت الأبيض في العاصمة واشنطن حادثة أمنية خطيرة مساء السبت، حيث أقدم شاب مسلح على فتح النار بالقرب من المجمع الرئاسي المحصن. وأفادت مصادر مطلعة بأن عناصر الخدمة السرية تعاملوا بشكل فوري مع التهديد، مما أسفر عن مقتل المهاجم بعد تبادل لإطلاق النار في منطقة حيوية وحساسة للغاية.\n\nوحددت التحقيقات الأولية هوية المنفذ بأنه يدعى نصير بيست، ويبلغ من العمر 21 عاماً، حيث اقترب من تقاطع شارع بنسلفانيا وشارع 17 شمال غرب قبل تنفيذ هجومه. وبحسب شهود عيان وتقارير أمنية، فإن بيست استخرج سلاحاً نارياً من حقيبته وبدأ بإطلاق الرصاص بشكل عشوائي، مما أثار حالة من الذعر في المنطقة المحيطة بالمقر الرئاسي.\n\nوأكدت مصادر طبية وفاة المشتبه به في مستشفى قريب بعد نقله لتلقي العلاج من إصابات بالرصاص تعرض لها أثناء تصدي قوات الأمن له. وفي سياق متصل، أسفر الحادث عن إصابة أحد المارة بجروح وصفت بالخطيرة، حيث جرى نقله على الفور للمستشفى، بينما لم تسجل أي إصابات في صفوف عناصر الخدمة السرية المشاركين في العملية.\n\nوكان الرئيس الأمريكي دونالد ترمب متواجداً داخل البيت الأبيض لحظة وقوع إطلاق النار، إلا أن الإجراءات الأمنية حالت دون وصول أي خطر إليه. وعقب الحادث، أشاد ترمب عبر منصته 'تروث سوشيال' بسرعة استجابة الأجهزة الأمنية ودقتهم في تحييد الخطر، مشدداً على ضرورة تشديد الحماية حول المواقع السيادية في الولايات المتحدة.\n\nوتشير الوثائق القضائية المسربة إلى أن نصير بيست لم يكن غريباً عن الأجهزة الأمنية، إذ يمتلك سجلاً حافلاً بالمحاولات السابقة لاختراق أمن البيت الأبيض. ففي يوليو من عام 2025، تم اعتقاله بعد تجاوزه مناطق محظورة داخل المجمع، حيث أدلى حينها بتصريحات غريبة ادعى فيها أنه 'يسوع المسيح' وأبدى رغبة ملحة في الدخول إلى المكتب البيضاوي.",
