Israel in 10: Trump rejects Iran’s offer, IDF soldier falls, Israel offers a meaningful life | Michael Eisenberg

President Trump rejects Iran’s latest counter-offer, calling it “totally unacceptable,” even as he says a broader deal is still within reach. Key disputes remain over Iran’s nuclear program, while tensions rise in the Strait of Hormuz. Israel is expected to hold high-level security talks on Iran later today. Israel’s Defense Minister hails the bravery of an IDF reservist killed in a Hezbollah drone strike near Manara, the fifth Israeli soldier killed in southern Lebanon since the ceasefire. Lebanon says it remains open to peace with Israel but only after a ceasefire and full Israeli withdrawal, while talks continue in Washington. In Europe, the EU is moving toward approving sanctions on Israeli settlers accused of West Bank violence after Hungary’s political shift removed a long-standing veto, though member states remain divided on broader measures against Israel. Meanwhile, Israel is advancing plans for a major domestic natural gas storage facility to secure energy supply during emergencies and repeated wartime disruptions of offshore fields.
