Warm and Pleasant Weather Expected, With Slight Temperature Rise Across Israel

Israel’s weather is expected to stay clear to partly cloudy today, with a slight rise in temperatures. Most of the country will see typical summer conditions that are dry and rain-free, and by midday moderate to relatively high heat stress will be felt in some areas.

The article also reports a separate overnight diplomatic development involving the United States and Iran. According to interviews given by U.S. Vice President JD Vance to NBC, CNN, CBS and Fox News, Washington and Tehran have agreed on a memorandum of understanding intended to end the war. Vance said International Atomic Energy Agency inspectors will be allowed back into Iran, and that the U.S., together with the agency, will help Tehran destroy its stockpile of enriched uranium.

Vance described the document as very short, about “a page and a half,” and said it contains a clear demand to “stop funding terrorist organizations and stop destabilizing the region.” The memo was electronically signed on Sunday through Qatari and Pakistani mediation, and is expected to be formally marked on Friday in Switzerland, although Donald Trump could order its full publication earlier. Behind the scenes, Axios reported deep divisions inside the White House, with CIA Director John Ratcliffe, Secretary of State Marco Rubio and War Secretary Pete Hegseth voicing serious concerns over intelligence they say shows a gap between Iran’s promises and its real intentions.

A White House official said Trump remains the final decision-maker and that the memo meets the administration’s red lines, preventing Iran from getting nuclear weapons and from holding the global energy supply “hostage.” The framework includes a 60-day ceasefire, during which technical talks on dismantling the nuclear program will take place. The 14-point document also says Iran repeats its pledge not to develop nuclear weapons.

Further reporting in the Financial Times and the New York Post said the U.S. is open to allowing an international investment fund of up to $300 billion for Iran’s reconstruction, but officials stressed this is not government money, only private investment that would be approved if Iran becomes “investable.” Trump called the reports of a $300 million payment “fake news” on Truth Social, while Vance said, “The Iranians will not get a single dollar unless they act like a normal country.” Sanctions relief and the gradual release of frozen assets would depend on performance, and during the 60 days the passage through the Strait of Hormuz would be free of fees as the U.S. gradually lifts its naval blockade. The Iranian economy is said to be losing $14 billion a month, and energy markets reacted by pushing oil prices lower. Technical talks involving envoys Steve Witkoff and Jared Kushner are due to begin later this week, with the aim of locking in a deal that eliminates the nuclear threat.
