IDF and the Shin Bet (Israel Security Agency) dismantled Hamas terror targets across the Gaza Strip, including terror tunnels and weapons storage facilities, the military announced on Monday. – Jerusalem Post
Yaron Schwartz writes: While there are differences between Israelis and Palestinians that are irreconcilable, but the deradicalization of convicted terrorists is a common objective for all pursuers of peace and can serve as an important building block. For the sake of 59 innocent hostages still being held by Hamas, give deradicalization a chance. – Jerusalem Post
Rony Hersch writes: Research conducted since October 7 highlights a surge in automated, AI-backed content designed to propagate false anti-Israel narratives. Deepfake technology has been employed to create fabricated videos that appear authentic, further misleading viewers. Moreover, AI is being used to identify susceptible demographics and target them with tailored anti-Israel propaganda. – Jerusalem Post
Iran
President Donald Trump said on Monday he believes Iran is intentionally delaying a nuclear deal with the United States and that it must abandon any drive for a nuclear weapon or face a possible military strike on Tehran’s atomic facilities. – Reuters
The British government on Monday sanctioned what it said was a Swedish-based Iranian criminal network and its leader, citing the group’s role in attacks against Israeli and Jewish targets across Europe. – Reuters

A Western intelligence source told The Jerusalem Post that Tehran had made several attempts to smuggle weapons from Iran to Hezbollah by sea via the Port of Beirut. – Jerusalem Post
Editorial: If he fails, the Iranians will push forward with their nuclear program, embolden their proxies, and threaten Israel like never before. But if Trump succeeds, he could reshape the Middle East. One year after Iran’s first direct missile strike on Israel, the world is waiting. Trump’s next move will determine whether Tehran’s aggression is met with weakness or with the kind of strength that could be a game changer. – Jerusalem Post
Uri Geller writes: For ten years the IAEA has demanded Iran explain suspicious nuclear activities, but Iran has refused to do so. Half a ton of secret Iranian nuclear files exposed in an incredible Mossad heist proved Iran was lying even after signing the nuclear deal with Obama. […] The talks in Oman have set the world on a path to destruction, not a path to peace. No deal in the world can ever be strong enough. Talks with Iran cannot save the world, only an ultimatum: destroy your nuclear program completely or we will do it for you. – Jerusalem Post
Russia and Ukraine
The deadliest missile strike on Ukraine this year pushed up the civilian death toll from Russia’s invasion and widened divisions between the U.S. and Kyiv’s European allies over President Trump’s strategy for ending the war. – Wall Street Journal

The European Union said it’s been able to source about two-thirds of the 2 million artillery rounds so far that Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelenskiy requested in March. – Bloomberg
Editorial: Actions indeed. Mr. Rubio made those remarks the same day the Russian missile detonated at the playground in Kryvyi Rih. Mr. Trump and his chief negotiator Steve Witkoff keep saying Mr. Putin wants peace. President Trump’s 30-day cease-fire proposal has now been on the table for longer than the cease-fire would have lasted. The peace Mr. Putin seems to want is the peace of the grave for Ukrainians. – Wall Street Journal
Thomas Graham writes: Thus, Putin needs to enable the United States to advance some of its strategic goals due to improved relations while creating concern that the rapprochement could harm China’s position so that Beijing can make concessions to Russia without backfiring. It is an intricate game, especially for a country that is the weakest of the three parties, but perhaps Putin learned something from all those conversations he had with Kissinger after he rose to power. – National Interest

Saudi Arabia plans to pay off Syria’s debts to the World Bank, three people familiar with the matter said, paving the way for the approval of millions of dollars in grants for reconstruction and to support the country’s paralysed public sector. – Reuters
Michael Rubin writes: National security is at its strongest when Washington and the international community calibrate it to reality. Somalia and Syria are complex patchworks of clans and tribes and interests. Papering over that complexity to pour money into an illusion will never bring peace or stability. Diplomats may hope that al-Sharaa can bring stability, but they kid themselves if they believe bestowing premature legitimacy on al-Sharaa will do anything other than make Somalia’s past into Syria’s future. – Middle East Forum Observer
Turkey
Several hundred Turkish high school students staged protests at more than a dozen high-performing schools on Monday against the replacement of their teachers by what they called political appointments. – Reuters

Editorial: Their leaders can’t wait forever to make trading and investment arrangements while Mr. Trump figures out what his tariff policy is. Trade and diplomatic ties that develop now won’t be easy to unwind in the future. If Mr. Xi’s regional diplomacy succeeds, it will be because Mr. Trump has made the Chinese leader’s job that much easier. Chalk this up as another cost of the U.S. trade war. – Wall Street Journal
Editorial: Which means Team Trump needs to cut some eye-catching deals fast — not just country by country, but sector by sector. For example, make Japan take some of our farm products; the European Union and Britain, some of our beef or chicken. The United States is and has been the leader of Western civilization; now it needs to choose the right path so it can continue leading in the future. – New York Post

Karishma Vaswani writes: Trump’s transactional diplomacy threatens to isolate the island just when solidarity around its future is urgently needed. Beijing will exploit any cracks.

It could prove a chance for the two leaders to hash out the question, with all deference due to both nations’ chief executives. – New York Sun
