US-Saudi nuclear deal relies on it recognising Israel, says Trump - Middle East crisis live

Key Points:

• Former US President Donald Trump stated that the US-Saudi civil nuclear deal is contingent on Saudi Arabia joining the Abraham Accords, which would normalize diplomatic relations with Israel, and emphasized that the agreement prohibits uranium enrichment.
• Iran reportedly sent Islamic Revolutionary Guard Corps (IRGC) commanders and military equipment to Yemen to support Houthi operations, coinciding with recent Houthi attacks on Saudi oil tankers in the Red Sea, prompting Trump to threaten holding Iran responsible for further attacks.
• A UN report highlighted improvements in food security and child nutrition in Gaza due to humanitarian aid, but warned that 1.4 million people still face crisis-level hunger, with the overall humanitarian situation remaining precarious.
• Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu called Saudi Arabia’s potential joining of the Abraham Accords a "historic leap forward for peace" in the Middle East, though Saudi Arabia has not yet responded to the proposal.
• Global oil prices surged past $100 per barrel for the first time since May amid escalating Middle East tensions, driven by attacks on shipping in the Red Sea and ongoing conflicts involving Iran-backed groups.
