Israel in 10: Hormuz tensions, Herzog to Panama, US College antisemitism | Eyal Yakoby

A French vessel is attacked in the Strait of Hormuz as President Donald Trump pauses U.S. naval escorts, citing progress toward a possible deal with Iran — while maintaining a broader blockade. Iran insists it will only accept a “fair and comprehensive agreement,” denying recent attacks on the UAE and instead accusing Abu Dhabi of working with hostile actors. In Gaza, envoy Nikolay Mladenov describes talks with Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu as “positive,” with officials reaffirming support for Trump’s 20-point plan — though Hamas continues to reject disarmament. In the north, Hezbollah launches rockets, mortars, and drones at IDF positions, as tensions along the Lebanon border remain high. Meanwhile, Israeli President Isaac Herzog departs for a historic visit to Panama and Costa Rica, aimed at strengthening regional ties. And in tech — Israelis are nearly five times more likely to use AI than the global average, topping a new index based on data from Anthropic.
