IDF troops rotate out of Syria, with a division headquarters moving to the West Bank to bolster capabilities amidst rising terror incidents. Meanwhile, Somaliland proposes a military alliance with Israel to counter Houth threats in the Bab al-Mandab Strait. Foreign Minister Gideon Sa'ar addresses the UN, asserting Israel's long-standing diplomatic minority status and the need to prioritize its existential interests. Developments also include criticism of Israel by Austrian President Van der Bellen, a sharp retort from FM Sa'ar, and the US declining to support a statement against settlement import bans.
