Cyprus arrests national spying for Iran's IRGC
Hamas official: Disarmament deal hinges on Israeli withdrawal from Gaza
Saudi Arabia reportedly preparing for large-scale military operation against Houthis

Updates on the conflict with Iran include the arrest of a dual national in Cyprus for allegedly spying for the IRGC and Iran's reported stopping of two tankers near the Strait of Hormuz. Saudi Arabia is reportedly preparing a large-scale military operation against the Houthis in Yemen. In Gaza, a Hamas official stated that a disarmament deal is contingent on Israel's withdrawal from the territory, while U.S. officials outlined a plan for disarming Hamas and rebuilding Gaza. A study examining New York Times headlines on Gaza casualties found a lack of distinction between combatants and civilians. Security operations in Judea and Samaria resulted in arrests and weapons seizures, with an attempted weapon snatch thwarted by a security officer. Domestically, Israeli politics sees Likud gaining in polls, and a new potential party forming. U.S. policy discussions include Netanyahu's intelligence presentation to Trump regarding Iran and potential land blockade considerations.
