Israeli-American Edan Alexander, who has been released by Hamas after 19 months in captivity has snubbed Israeli PM Natanyahu. This despite Netanyahu hailing his release as a "very emotional moment," reports say Edan has refused a personal meeting with him, citing physical and emotional exhaustion. Edan, was freed on May 12 in what Hamas called a goodwill gesture to Donald Trump, who is currently visiting the region. The release follows complex U.S.-Israel-Qatar-Egypt negotiations and raises new hopes for the remaining hostages and potential peace talks.

As President Trump visits Saudi Arabia, the UAE, and Qatar, Yemenās Houthi leaders issue a stark warning to Gulf states against aligning with Washington. Mohammed Ali al-Houthi called on Arab leaders to stand with Palestine and remember America's history of abandoning allies like the Shah of Iran. Despite a U.S.-mediated truce, Houthi leaders vow to continue retaliatory strikes in defense of Gaza. The UAE welcomes the Oman-brokered ceasefire for boosting regional trade, but tensions remain high with Israel striking Yemen following Houthi attacks. The group remains defiant and distrustful of U.S. promises.

Tensions between former allies Donald Trump and Benjamin Netanyahu are now spilling into the open, as Trump's renewed backchannel negotiations with Iran spark deep concern in Tel Aviv. With the U.S. reportedly considering a deal that may allow Iran limited uranium enrichment for civilian use, Netanyahu has privately expressed alarm, viewing any concession as a direct threat to Israeli security. The rift deepened after Trump declined to rule out enrichment during recent Muscat talks, prompting Israelās top adviser to urgently seek clarifications in Washington.
