Iran Reaffirms Conditions in US Talks; Netanyahu Responds to Macron on West Bank
Iran reiterated its unchanged conditions in indirect talks with the United States mediated by Qatar during the UN General Assembly, demanding an end to the blockade on its ports and release of frozen assets. These were the first such talks since a June ceasefire ended. Meanwhile, Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu criticized French President Emmanuel Macron's comments on Hamas and Israeli settler violence in the occupied West Bank, calling them a "grotesque absurdity." Macron had condemned the Gaza situation and settler violence, disputing Israel's justification using Hamas activity.
