Netanyahu, Trump see 'eye to eye' on Iran

An Israeli airstrike killed at least 23 people in a predominantly Christian area in Aalmat, north of Beirut, on Sunday, Lebanese health officials said.

Seven children were among the dead, according to the Lebanese Ministry of Health.

At least six other people were wounded. It is not yet clear what the strike was targeting.

The Lebanese government-run National News Agency said the strike hit a house. Civil defense teams transferred the casualties to hospitals in Jbeil and Keserwan, the NNA said.

A "search and rescue operation is ongoing," the health ministry said in a statement.

The Israel Defense Forces said on X on Sunday that its troops struck "dozens of terror targets" in Lebanon and the Gaza Strip over the previous 24 hours.

The IDF said offensive operations continued in Lebanon, Jabalia and Beit Lahiya in northern Gaza and Rafah in the south of the strip. The northern part of the territory has been the focus of an intense Israeli offensive for the past month, with residents there subject to open-ended evacuation orders.

The force claimed to have "eliminated" dozens of enemy fighters and dismantled "terror infrastructure sites" and weapons storage facilities in the north and south of Gaza.

Israeli warplanes struck Hezbollah targets including "weapons storage facilities, launchers and launch sites" in Lebanon, the IDF said.

Qatar has taken steps to expel Hamas’ political leadership from Doha following a request to do so from the U.S. after the group rejected the most recent proposal for a short-term cease-fire in Gaza in exchange for the release of several hostages, according to multiple Biden administration officials familiar with the matter.

"Its leaders should no longer be welcome in the capitals of any American partner. We made that clear to Qatar following Hamas’s rejection weeks ago of another hostage release proposal," a senior administration official. “Their continued presence in Doha is no longer viable or acceptable.”

Accordingly, Qatar is also taking a step back from its mediator role, the Qatari Foreign Ministry announced today. But a U.S. official said that the country could reengage with Hamas if it was deemed potentially productive and that Egypt will continue to interface with members of the group as negotiators attempt to push various proposals forward. But, the odds of any agreement coming together in the near future appear very slim.

Since the attacks of Oct. 7, the Biden administration has repeatedly said countries cannot continue “business as usual” with Hamas --but delayed pressuring Qatar to shut down Hamas’ political office in Doha to facilitate cease-fire talks.

Hamas was given notice by Qatar roughly 10 days ago, an official added, but no timeline has been set for the group’s departure or any next steps. Whether Qatar will follow through and evict Hamas leaders remains unclear.

A spokesperson from the Qatari Foreign Ministry said Saturday that media reports on the matter -- which align with the White House’s version of events -- were "inaccurate" without specifying which details he was objecting to or correcting the record.

Eleven trucks of food, water and medical aid have entered the besieged areas of Jabalia and Beit Hanoun in North Gaza, 40 days since the last food and water was allowed to enter the areas under evacuation orders, according to the Israel Defense Forces. Palestinian officials have not yet confirmed the delivery.

The Kissufim crossing was reopened for the first time since Israel's 2005 departure from the Gaza strip, the IDF announced. This has been a key demand of the United Nations and humanitarian aid groups, as the crossing sits between Khan Younis and Deir al-Balah in central Gaza, and allows for a shorter driving time to reach the areas where most people are sheltering.

These announcements come as the U.S. State Department's 30 day deadline for improving the humanitarian aid situation in Gaza approaches. Last week, State Department spokesperson Matthew Miller noted that Israel had not met the benchmarks -- outlined in a letter sent to Israeli officials -- to the State Department's satisfaction yet.

One key issue he pointed to was setting up a new channel with Israel where the U.S. could raise and discuss civilian harm incidents. This channel has not yet been established but that he hopes a first meeting can be set up "in a week or two," Miller said.
