Tensions seem to be cooling ever so slightly with Hezbollah as the United States has put heavy pressure on Israel an Hezbollah to step back, and as Israel has signaled a winding down of operations in Gaza. The latter is important, as that in turn reduces domestic pressures for Hezbollah to escalate.
Aid to Gaza has been de facto suspended once again, though this time it isn't due to issues with the floating pier. The problem instead stems from the lack of protections given to aid workers. Israeli strikes have killed and eounded many aid workers, and come close to harming many more. This has left the United Nations and said groups reluctant to operate in Gaza until certain assurances are made to guarantee their safety.
Israeli domestic politics continue to careen dangerously for Netanyahu. The Israeli supreme court today mandated that ultra-Orthodox Israelis must be included in the draft; a key voting block and a significant part of the governing coalition. The court ordered the government to cut funding to any Orthodox institutions which don't comply with the order. Netanyahu has been of late trying to ram through legislation which would enshrine serve outs for the ultra-Orthodox. The court ruling now puts him in an incredibly awkward position; he either defies the court, alienating most of the population, or he obeys the court, isolating one of the main pillars of support keeping his governing coalition intact. Meanwhile, Netanyahu and the United States are continuing to argue with one another over alleged hold-ups of military aid, the timing of a future Netanyahu appearance in Washington, DC, and overall attitudes towards regional security.
