US President Donald Trump announced on Saturday that he had canceled a major attack on Iran after receiving assurances from Tehran and other Middle Eastern countries that a framework deal had been reached to fully reopen the Strait of Hormuz and "end the Iran nuclear threat." This decision followed a phone call between Saudi Crown Prince Mohammed bin Salman and Trump, where the Prince emphasized the importance of talks and preventing the conflict with Iran from escalating. The Times of Israel's Daily Briefing, featuring Mideast expert Ksenia Svetlova, discussed Saudi Arabia's concerns regarding the conflict with Iran and the Iran-backed Houthis, as well as the slim chances of normalization with Israel. The briefing also covered Egypt's potential involvement after a drone strike on a US-owned gas tanker in Damietta, a newly announced deal for Hamas to lay down arms, and the role of Palestinian figure Mohammad Dahlan in brokering the Hamas disarmament.
