Israel and the United States are on high alert as they brace for a potential Iranian attack on Israel amidst ongoing efforts to secure a ceasefire in Gaza. Mediators are urging Israel and Hamas to return to the negotiating table in a renewed push to strike a ceasefire deal, with talks set to resume in Cairo or Doha this week.
The recent assassinations of Hezbollah and Hamas leaders have heightened tensions, with Iran and its Lebanese proxy vowing to avenge the killings. The United States, Egypt, and Qatar are key mediators in the talks and are set to present a final bridging proposal to both sides.
