UAE-Israel Rift: Israel’s PM Benjamin Netanyahu says he made a “secret” wartime visit to Abu Dhabi and met UAE President Mohammed bin Zayed, calling it a “historic breakthrough”—but the UAE Foreign Ministry hit back fast, denying the visit and stressing ties are only under the Abraham Accords. Iran War Fallout: The dispute is playing out as Iran warns against “collusion” and as oil markets react to ceasefire fragility, with Trump calling the Iran ceasefire “on life support” and crude pushing above $105. Regional Flashpoints: In Syria’s Yarmouk Basin, Israeli forces reportedly advanced near Jamlah and set up a checkpoint in Quneitra, while Gaza sees renewed Israeli strikes despite the broader pause. Diplomacy in Motion: Trump and Xi kick off a high-stakes Beijing summit with Iran, trade and AI on the agenda, while the US presses China to be “more active” on Iran. Human Rights & Migration: ICE data via NIAC alleges nearly 600 Iranian nationals detained by Dec 2025, including a five-year-old, amid a crackdown tied to the 2025 nuclear strikes.
