President Donald Trump told Axios on Thursday he is approaching a decision on whether to resume large-scale attacks on Iran in an effort to bring the war to an end. "I have a big decision coming up. Do I want to go in and annihilate them \[the Iranian regime\] or do I not? It's a big decision. Anything could happen with me," Trump said. Axios noted that Trump has made similar threats before. His remarks come ahead of a planned meeting Tuesday with leaders from six Gulf countries on the sidelines of the UN General Assembly in New York, according to the outlet. Reuters reported that Trump told reporters Wednesday he hoped the war was nearing its end and said Iran wanted an agreement. He said Washington had heard that directly from Tehran, without explaining the contact. "They want to make a deal. We'll see how that works out," he said. Axios says Tuesday's talks are expected to cover U.S. postwar proposals, with a broader plan expected to be finalized after the midterms.

The IDF and Shin Bet confirm that Nael Abu Obeid, commander of Hamas's Rafah Brigade and head of the group's operations division, was killed in an Israeli airstrike in southern Gaza this evening. According to the military, Abu Obeid became Rafah Brigade commander after Muhammad Shabana was killed in May 2025 and had since been working to rebuild Hamas's capabilities and advance attacks against Israel. Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu and Defense Minister Israel Katz said the strike followed the killing of other senior Hamas commanders earlier this week, adding: "No terrorist is immune, and Hamas will not be in Gaza."

Senior military commanders from the United States, Israel and several Arab countries met privately in Germany last week to discuss the war with Iran and broader regional tensions, Axios reported, citing two Israeli officials. According to Axios, U.S. Central Command chief Adm. Brad Cooper organized the meeting, which included the military chiefs of Israel, Saudi Arabia, the United Arab Emirates, Bahrain, Kuwait, Qatar, Jordan and Egypt. The gathering brought Israel's military leadership together with senior commanders from several Arab states at a time of heightened regional tensions surrounding Iran, the Strait of Hormuz and the Iran-backed Houthis in Yemen. The meeting also reflects continued behind-the-scenes military coordination between Israel, the United States and Arab governments despite the wider regional conflict.
