Headlines:

• Saudi media reported that Hamas leaders recently met with French officials on an undisclosed date in an unspecified location in the Middle East. Really informative, right? So now, for something more specific. This is the first reported meeting between Hamas and European officials since October 7.
• Turkey just concluded joint military drills with Qatari land forces.
• Iran and Oman agreed to form a joint working group to keep talks going on the future of the Strait of Hormuz.
