Gaza Khan Yunis raid probes tunnel origins
Trump pardon demand sparks Netanyahu Herzog clash
Netanyahu taps Sa'ar for Washington peace board

The time is now 3:01 PM in New York, I'm Noa Levi and this is the latest Israel Today: Ongoing War Report.

In the Disputed Territories (Gaza, Judea and Samaria, East Jerusalem), Israeli forces are conducting searches in the Khan Yunis area in the northern Gaza Strip, inside territory under Israeli control within the Yellow Line, after several unusual identifications and the suspicion that militants emerged from a tunnel; the operations are ongoing and, at this time, there are no Israeli casualties. In a separate development, the IDF says there was a blatant violation of the ceasefire agreement, with armed terrorists identified east of the Yellow Line in northern Gaza earlier today; the militants took cover under debris near IDF troops, posing an imminent threat, and the IDF struck the group, killing two while continuing to search for others.

In Israeli Domestic Politics, Herzog’s camp is pressing Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu for clarifications over Trump’s remarks that Netanyahu should be pardoned for corruption charges and that Herzog should be ashamed for not granting one, with sources close to the president warning that such comments cross a red line and warrant explanations from the prime minister; Herzog’s office reiterates that any pardon review will proceed in accordance with legal procedure, after the Justice Ministry has weighed the matter. Meanwhile, Netanyahu has asked Foreign Minister Gideon Sa’ar to represent Israel at the inaugural Board of Peace meeting in Washington next Thursday, after the prime minister opted not to attend in person; Saudi Arabia has said it cannot commit funds to Gaza’s reconstruction until there is greater clarity on Israel’s withdrawal and Hamas disarmament, with the meeting expected to shed light on those terms. Additionally, associates of President Herzog are briefing that he is angered by Trump’s attack on Netanyahu, saying that if Netanyahu’s hand was involved in wrongdoing, it would be a red line crossed and they expect him to offer clarifications, a stance echoed as a matter of sovereign dignity at the presidency.
