ICRC President Spoljaric Pursues Hostage Access

ICRC President Mirjana Spoljaric held "tough discussions" with Hamas leader Ismail Haniyeh and Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu regarding access to Israeli hostages in Gaza. The US reportedly pressured Israel to strike Iran independently to avoid election risks, but this demand was dropped. Meanwhile, Houthi rebels attacked Riyadh's airport, injuring dozens, and Iran's IRGC Navy issued a warning to vessels near the UAE. Israeli domestic politics see various contenders for upcoming elections, with parties outlining their demands, including from Ofer Winter and the Joint List. The organization SafeHeart continues to provide crucial trauma care to Supernova festival survivors.
