Israel Today: Ongoing War Report - August 17, 2026, 12 PM Eastern

Iran signals a dramatic shift to an 'fully offensive' policy due to stalled US diplomacy, with threats to escalate in the Strait of Hormuz. A new accord between Israel and the US dictates Hamas weapons will be transferred to a US-led force for destruction, following a productive meeting between Jared Kushner and PM Netanyahu on the Gaza conflict path. Meanwhile, Palestinian Authority officials criticize US-Israel engagement with Hamas as a 'divide and rule' strategy that sidelines the PA. Domestically, Finance Minister Smotrich proposes a ten-year plan for one million Jewish immigrants, while analysis highlights the growing influence of independent voters in Israeli elections.
