The ruling keeps the claims in the legal process rather than ending them at this stage.
Palestinians have reacted with a sense of abandonment after Benjamin Netanyahu rejected the Gaza plan. His declaration has deepened doubts that lasting calm can be achieved. Those doubts are tied to the absence of an Israeli withdrawal, reconstruction in Gaza and guarantees. The rejection has therefore reinforced concerns about whether any durable peace is possible without those conditions.
Benjamin Netanyahu said on Sunday that Israel’s military would not withdraw from Gaza until Hamas had been genuinely disarmed. His statement rejected the reported deal proposed by Donald Trump for Gaza. The White House has not commented on the Israeli prime minister’s position. Netanyahu’s condition places Hamas’s disarmament before any military withdrawal.
The Trump administration is reportedly not troubled by the Israeli prime minister’s rejection of the proposed deal. It is said to regard Netanyahu’s position as campaign rhetoric delivered ahead of a general election. That assessment suggests the rejection may not be the last word on the plan. The future of the proposal remains open amid the political positioning.

Iranian President Masoud Pezeshkian said Washington failed to bring down Iran in the way it had wanted. He said forecasts made by Iran’s “enemy” using artificial-intelligence data and information obtained through spy networks and agents failed one after another. Pezeshkian offered no further details in the statement described here about which forecasts he meant.
Iran has gained leverage in the Strait of Hormuz. Its Gulf neighbours are responding by reshaping regional security arrangements. Their aim is to constrain what Tehran can do with the influence it has acquired. The contest around Hormuz is therefore driving a broader realignment of security in the region.
Iranian Foreign Ministry spokesman Esmaeil Baghaei said on Monday that fees should be collected for maritime services provided in the Strait of Hormuz. His statement links payment to services connected with passage through the strategic waterway. The remarks address how maritime passage and related services should be charged.
Iran’s Revolutionary Guards said on Sunday that the Strait of Hormuz would remain closed until the United States met a list of demands. Those demands include compensation for war damages. The central question is whether the conditions amount to a surrender document for Washington. Dr H.A. Hellyer, a senior fellow in geopolitics, international security and Middle East studies at RUSI, joins the discussion to assess the position.
President Donald Trump indicated that the United States is prepared to allow economic pressure on Iran to intensify instead of ordering new military strikes. He described the US position toward Tehran over the Strait of Hormuz as only “semi-negotiating.” His remarks point to an emphasis on economic leverage rather than an immediate fresh attack. The approach leaves pressure building while contact with Iran remains limited.
Wayne Cole surveys the day ahead for European and global markets. The item highlights a sudden shift in how the United States views the Strait of Hormuz, describing the waterway as having become “irrelevant” to Washington. It frames that change as the central market-related development under consideration.
Donald Trump signals that the United States is shifting toward economic pressure on Iran following new military strikes. Washington is relying on sanctions and a naval blockade as key tools in the approach. Oil prices have stabilised, easing the economic burden on American consumers. The change points to a greater emphasis on restricting Iran through economic measures rather than relying solely on military action.
The United States and Iran appear to be modifying their respective positions as uncertainty persists over the future of their confrontation. Reopening the Strait of Hormuz remains a central obstacle in the negotiations. Iran is also reshuffling important security posts. The US is meanwhile pursuing a deliberately low-key approach to the talks.
