Israel Today: Ongoing War Report - August 16, 2026, 12 PM Eastern

This is Israel Today: Ongoing War Report. We begin with intensive diplomatic efforts for Gaza, as U.S. envoy Jared Kushner meets with Egyptian President Sisi and Hamas leadership in Cairo to discuss President Trump's peace plan, though Israel maintains reservations. Also, the IDF strikes southern Lebanon, and a significant policy shift now allows Jewish worshippers to use prayer books on the Temple Mount for the first time. We'll cover findings from a Palestinian poll indicating declining Hamas support and dissatisfaction with PA President Mahmoud Abbas. Plus, Iran moves to criminalize interviews with foreign media, and we report on antisemitism incidents in Canada and Northern Ireland.
