Iran’s President Masoud Pezeshkian defended a memorandum of understanding with the United States as the best way out of a stalled war.
A Palestinian man was beaten by an Israeli settler outside his home, and Israel’s military said they were pursuing a stabbing suspect in a separate attack, the latest violence in the occupied West Bank. An Israeli airstrike in Gaza killed a child, according to a local hospital.
