Former Prime Minister Ehud Olmert spoke on Sunday at the Jerusalem Post conference in New York, and was not particularly concerned by the Iranian nuclear program.
“I doubt there will be a military confrontation,” Olmert said in wake of the recent tensions between Tehran and Washington. “We saw in the past that this is a brilliant strategy that the American president adopted. He brings the atmosphere to tension to the point where it seems very threatening in order to force the other party to sit down for negotiations. It happened with North Korea, and he ended up being Kim Jong Un’s friend.”

Hamas on Monday confirmed that millions of Qatari aid dollars had entered the Gaza Strip for distribution to needy families, claiming that a new phase of understandings with Israel was now underway, Ynet reported.
The Gaza Strip’s ruling faction said the new understandings would include improvements to the blockaded enclave’s water and electricity supplies, relaxed import and export rules, and expansions to industrial projects in Gaza.
Palestinian media also reported that a delegation of Qatari technical experts was in the strip to meet with the Energy Ministry’s Deputy Chairman Samir Muttair. The team is reportedly to begin work on installing a new electricity line aimed at improving Gaza’s electricity supply.

“Today Iran threatened to enrich its uranium beyond the limits of the nuclear deal — this does not surprise us,” says Netanyahu. “In the event it acts upon its threats and violates the nuclear deal, the international community must immediately impose the sanctions that were set previously.

U.S. President Donald Trump’s Special Envoy to the Middle East Jason Greenblatt on Sunday expressed his support for recent statements by U.S. Ambassador to Israel David Friedman in favor of Israeli annexation of some parts of Yehuda and Shomron.
“I will let David’s comments stand for themselves,” Greenblatt said during the annual Jerusalem Post conference in New York, when asked about an interview with Friedman published in The New York Times last Saturday. “I think he said them elegantly and I support his comments.”
In the article, Friedman said “under certain circumstances, I think Israel has the right to retain some, but unlikely all, of the West Bank.”
