In Regional Impacts, Syria’s Port of Tartus has resumed transit operations to Iraq after a 14-year freeze, and the corridor reopened with the arrival of a Romanian commercial vessel delivering a cargo of lumber.

In the Conflict with Iran and its Regional Proxies, an oil tanker was attacked off the coast of Yemen near Socotra island, presumably by the Houthis. The attackers were deterred by warning shots, and no damage was reported.

In US Policy Concerning Israel, the Palestinian representative at the UN General Assembly withdrew his candidacy for the position of Deputy Chair of the UN General Assembly after the Trump administration threatened to revoke the US entry visas of all members of the Palestinian delegation at the UN.

In הפתעה באלפיון העליון: איש הנדל"ן עידו חג'ג' ואשתו מפרידים כוחות, Israeli real estate mogul Ido Hagag and his wife have separated, according to reports.

In Uplifting News, a court ruling could clear the way for the release of Leonard Cohen’s long-hidden Israel concerts and archives. Shabbat candle-lighting times for Israel and the United States are listed for the upcoming period, with multiple locales showing Friday candle-lighting between 6:53 p.m. and 7:55 p.m. and Shabbat end times from 8:10 p.m. to 9:02 p.m., and Shavuot timing noted—Israel begins Shavuot on Thursday, May 21 and ends Friday, May 22, while elsewhere Shavuot ends on May 23.
