A 19-year-old Palestinian was shot dead by Israeli forces near Bir Nabala, northwest of Jerusalem. Since October 8, 2023, Israel's military attacks and attacks by Israeli occupiers across the occupied West Bank have killed 1,179 Palestinians and injured nearly 13,000 others.
The United States has conducted a new wave of strikes against Iran, prompting retaliatory attacks by Iranian forces across the Gulf region. Iran's IRGC says it attacked sites linked to the US military in Kuwait, Bahrain and Oman after latest US bombardment. The Memorandum of Understanding agreed by Washington and Tehran in mid-June extended an April ceasefire and began to reopen the Strait of Hormuz.
The Strait of Hormuz is contested between Iran and the US. Iran has a right to manage the strait. US cruise missiles hit the Aq Taqeh Khan bridge in Aq Qala, in the northern province of Golestan, on July 9. The bridge is a node on the overland corridor linking Iran to Central Asia, Russia and China. China is the largest stakeholder in the stability of the Persian Gulf.
The election in Israel is scheduled for October 7, 2026. Naftali Bennett and Yair Lapid are running as alternatives to Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu's coalition. Israel's relations with its partners in the Abraham Accords have been strained since the war in Gaza. Saudi Arabia has changed its stance on the Palestinian issue.
