Israel Today: Ongoing War Report - August 18, 2026, 07 AM Eastern

Today's report covers significant developments in US-Israel relations concerning Gaza, with President Trump calling for a halt to Israeli strikes and envoy Jared Kushner setting a 60-90 day timeline for Hamas demilitarization, while warning against rebuilding Gaza until disarmament occurs. We also hear from former Israeli consul Yaki Dayan about potential US-Israel policy divergence. Geopolitically, Iran's Parliament Speaker Mohammad Bagher Ghalibaf outlined conditions for reopening the Strait of Hormuz, and Tehran denied responsibility for a drone attack in Iraqi Kurdistan. In the West Bank, the IDF is drawing lessons after soldiers marked Palestinian suspects' bodies during an operation, as plans for authority transfer progress. The report also details antisemitic protests in Washington D.C. and an incident in Portugal, alongside domestic political developments for the Religious Zionist Party and a car bomb plot charge in Beersheba.
