American engagement with the Houthis stepped up today, with over a half dozen drones reportedly destroyed by the United States. This is more than recent days have seen, but this still isn't a drastic situation as when the Houthis have successfully struck merchant vessels. Overall, this seems to be part of the regular ebb and flow of hostilities in the region, rather than a genuine escalation.

Netanyahu today made a minor yet crucial shift to his rhetoric, stating that any ceasefire agreement must allow Israel to complete its goals, rather than Israel completing its goals prior to any ceasefire agreement. American officials have also increasingly signaled some optimism, that a deal may be reachable in the short to medium term.

The United States today confirmed prior reporting that the Gaza pier will be dismantled entirely, asserting that more aid is able to reach Gaza by land now due to cooperation with Israel. The United States did not offer any details as to what their plan would be in the event that Israel further restricts aid.
