The time is now 2:02 PM in New York, I'm Noa Levi and this is the latest Israel Today: Ongoing War Report.

In Regional Impacts, the UAE demands guarantees from Iran on Hormuz security, the nuclear program and compensation. The UAE says countering Iranian threats must include ballistic missiles, drones and proxy groups, as the war worsens Gulf states’ strategic position and exposes limits of US power, potentially pushing them to ease tensions with Tehran.

In the Conflict with Iran and its Regional Proxies, rocket and drone attacks from Lebanon on northern Israel continue. Again rocket and drone attacks from Lebanon on northern Israel.

In Israeli Domestic Politics, a note references Nahariya. The entry simply lists Nahariya.

In Antisemitism and Anti-Jewish Hate, a US federal judge has declined to rule on the dispute between UBS and the Simon Wiesenthal Center over the scope of the 1999 Holocaust-era settlement with Swiss banks. Background includes late-1990s Holocaust victims' lawsuits against Swiss banks, including Credit Suisse, alleging collaboration with the Nazi regime, and the 1999 settlement that required banks to pay victims while 17 Jewish organizations agreed not to sue or pursue further claims regarding those issues.
