U.S. Ambassador to Israel Mike Huckaby visited the Palestinian village of Turmus Ayya in the Ramallah district on Sunday. The ambassador's visit aimed to gain firsthand understanding of the situation in the West Bank, particularly concerning Palestinian citizens of the United States.
During his visit, Huckaby spoke with foreign and Arab media outlets present in the village. Reports from Channel 12 suggested an attempt to frame the movement of a settler vehicle in Turmus Ayya as an "unusual incident" during the ambassador's presence.
Separately, Lebanese channels reported that the Israeli military (IDF) is using drones to deliver explosive-filled containers into buildings in the village of Al-Mansouri in southern Lebanon, detonating them remotely. These reports followed an initial wave of IDF strikes in Lebanon.
In other news, the U.S. imposed sanctions on a Turkish bank for allegedly assisting Iran's Revolutionary Guard Corps, leading to some diplomatic friction with Turkey, which Ambassador Tom Barkin is reportedly working to de-escalate. Meanwhile, Russian news indicated that Trump administration envoys Witkoff and Kushner had landed in Moscow.
