US Secretary of State Marco Rubio and Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu held a phone call on Saturday. While official details were not released, reports indicate discussions covered Gaza, Syria, and the large-scale protests in Iran. The US has offered support for Iranian protesters facing a crackdown, with internet and phone lines reportedly shut down amid significant casualties and detentions. Meanwhile, a fragile ceasefire in Gaza remains stalled, with both Israel and Hamas alleging breaches, and recent US-mediated talks between Israel and Syria established a communication mechanism.
