Iran to lead nuclear talks in Switzerland
MSF departure turns Gaza hospital Hamas HQ
Bnei Brak riots after false draft notices

The time is now 11:01 AM in New York, I'm Noa Levi and this is the latest Israel Today: Ongoing War Report.

In the conflict with Iran and its Regional Proxies, the Iranian Foreign Ministry says Foreign Minister Arakchi will head a diplomatic delegation to Switzerland for the second round of nuclear talks with the United States, to be mediated by Oman.

In the Disputed Territories (Gaza, Judea and Samaria, East Jerusalem), the IDF says Nasser Hospital in southern Gaza, which Doctors Without Borders has left, is being used as a Hamas headquarters and military post for senior commanders and operatives in southern Gaza, following MSF’s decision to suspend noncritical medical operations due to armed presence. Separately, Turkey’s Diyanet Foundation opened three mosques in Gaza ahead of Ramadan as part of Ankara’s effort to expand religious and political influence, refurbishing and reopening the Abdullah Azzam Mosque in Sabra, the Huda Mosque in Jabalya’s refugee camp, and the al-Isra Mosque in the Sheikh Radwan neighborhood.

In US Policy Concerning Israel, Board of Peace member nations have committed thousands of personnel to a Gaza stabilization force, with more than five billion dollars pledged toward humanitarian and reconstruction efforts; the board will meet in Washington on Thursday. President Trump also said the board will help maintain security and peace for residents of the enclave and called for immediate Hamas demilitarization. He further asserted that the Council of Peace will be the most significant international organization in history.

In Israeli Domestic Politics, commentary argues that Bennett’s return is marked more by critique than a clear policy platform, with little detail on governance or specific policy proposals beyond points such as an inquiry commission and the Haredi draft issue. The Religious Zionist bloc is depicted as being under strain amid debates over a draft exemption law for the Haredi world, with advocates for tougher sanctions while some warn of coalition risks. President Herzog announced plans to press for anti-gun legislation, telling a delegation of Arab victims of violence that banning guns and violence should be a top local priority. In Bnei Brak, 22 people were arrested after riots sparked by false reports they were serving draft notices, with female IDF soldiers saying they hid in dumpsters as police rescued them while rioters overturned a patrol car and set a motorcycle ablaze; commanders cited a lack of coordination with the army. Police have dispatched a helicopter over Bnei Brak, and the police commissioner is en route to the scene.
