The meeting of 43 nations, including the United States, in Saudi Arabia is an important signal of the international community’s interest in restoring freedom of navigation across the Middle East. This unity takes place in the context of Iran’s continued closure of the Strait of Hormuz, Houthi threats to shut down the Bab al Mandab Strait to commercial shipping, and U.S.-Saudi joint operations against Iran-aligned militias in Iraq. Global action and consensus are key to building pressure against the Iranian regime and to supporting a diplomatic solution to end the war.

وشهد الاجتماع مشاركة رؤساء الأركان وممثليهم من 43 دولة إلى جانب مندوبية الاتحاد الأوروبي لدى المملكة، من أصل 51 دولة ومنظمة مدعوة، بما يعكس الاهتمام الدولي بتعزيز التعاون الدفاعي البحري وتوحيد الجهود لحماية أمن الممرات البحرية.

The next chapter of the Middle East will be written in port concessions, power contracts, and airport deals. N7 Expert Josh Kram breaks down the reconstruction races underway in Syria, Lebanon, and Gaza, and why whoever controls the infrastructure will shape the region’s balance of power for decades to come.

Syrian President Ahmed al-Sharaa discussed Syria’s foreign policy over the weekend and expressed openness to developing a security agreement with Israel that considers Syria’s sovereignty over the Golan Heights. Although Israel is unlikely to hand over the Golan Heights, this is a promising development building on increasing diplomatic engagement in the Levant, including trilateral diplomacy between Israel and Lebanon that could help foster peace and stability. It also signals Syria’s shift away from Iran and its proxies and creates opportunities to further integrate Damascus into the region. A security agreement between Syria and Israel would likely be based on the 1974 disengagement agreement with significant diplomatic support from the United States. https://t.co/uDg5iQWaqI

Netanyahu recaps meeting with Trump:
“I just finished an excellent meeting with President Trump. A conversation with full partnership and mutual support, with an understanding of a shared goal, to ensure that Iran does not have nuclear weapons, and other goals as well. One of the best conversations I have had with the President of the United States. It was an opportunity to exchange ideas and coordinate arrangements that are important for the security and future of the State of Israel.”

שוחחתי כעת עם הוד מלכותו מלך בחריין, חמד בן עיסא אאל ח׳ליפה.

בשיחתנו דנו בחיזוק הידידות והיחסים המתהדקים בין ישראל לבחריין, וכן בחשיבותם של הסכמי אברהם, בהובלת ארצות הברית, לחיזוק הביטחון, היציבות והשגשוג במזרח התיכון כולו. עוד שוחחנו על ההתפתחויות האחרונות ועל החשיבות שבשיתוף הפעולה והדיאלוג בין מדינות האזור.

בחריין היא שותפה חשובה לעיצוב עתידו של המזרח התיכון. בירכתי את המלך על מנהיגותו האמיצה ועל חזונו, והבעתי את הערכתי לתרומתו להעמקת השלום, היציבות ושיתוף הפעולה בין מדינותינו.

Regional security is changing in real time as U.S. partners adapt to changing threats across the Middle East. Improvements in integrated air and missile defense - built on cooperative regional frameworks - show how the region is increasingly exploring the potential of collective defense.

More developments in the U.S.-Lebanon relationship: The United States is reportedly discussing a bilateral security agreement, alongside expanded military assistance and capabilities to support the Lebanese Armed Forces, opening pathways for American businesses in Lebanon, and efforts to support the country’s reconstruction.

[Hiba Nasr @HibaNasr]

‼️ New: President Trump and Lebanese President Joseph Aoun agreed to launch discussions toward a bilateral U.S.–Lebanon security agreement aimed at establishing a durable framework for long-term strategic cooperation.

Sources told me that, beyond this significant outcome and the agreement to pursue the re-establishment of direct flights between the United States and Lebanon, the visit also yielded:

• Expand U.S. military assistance and capabilities support for the Lebanese Armed Forces, reinforcing their role as Lebanon’s sole legitimate national defense institution.

• Explore options for post-UNIFIL monitoring and verification arrangements, including the possibility of extending or adapting the current UNIFIL mandate.

• Advance efforts to identify new investment opportunities for U.S. companies in Lebanon, particularly in the energy, telecommunications, digital transformation, and other strategic sectors.

• Work with international partners to support Lebanon’s reconstruction and long-term economic recovery.

• US-Saudi nuclear deal
• US approved near $2B weapons sale to KSA

From the UAE’s Mars mission to its planned asteroid mission, space is already a powerful platform for U.S.-UAE cooperation.

But the potential goes further. The Abraham Accords could unlock new partnerships in space technology to tackle shared challenges on Earth—from water security to food resilience and climate monitoring.

DP World is expanding its UAE network with two new terminals on the Gulf of Oman, growing total UAE container handling capacity to nearly 22 million TEU.

The UAE has anchored global trade for decades through Jebel Ali. Now it’s extending that network eastward, deepening its position as a premier logistics hub, and creating new pathways to move between Asia, the Gulf, and beyond.

As the UAE’s trade network grows, it continues to create opportunities for partnership and prosperity through trade.

[Dubai Media Office @DXBMediaOffice]

In the presence of the Crown Prince of Fujairah, DP World and Fujairah Ports Authority reach an agreement in principle to develop two new terminals on the UAE’s east coast under a 50-year concession.

Al Rugaylat Terminal

- 2.5 million TEU annually
- 1.7 million tonnes of general cargo
- 190,000 Car Equivalent Units (CEUs)

Dibba Terminal

- Adds 3.6 million tonnes of annual general cargo capacity

- Development of dedicated logistics zones for both terminals

- Construction is expected to take approximately 24 to 30 months from commencement
