Syrian President Ahmed al-Sharaa:

We are working to reach a security agreement with Israel, involving a group of countries.

If the security agreement with Israel is successful, it will pave the way for a comprehensive peace without compromising Syria's right to the occupied Golan Heights.

Israeli Journalist:

“There is no doubt that Trump was informed about the issue of interceptors before he gave the order to attack Iran.
He likely woke up in a panic and asked, "What about the interceptors?"
The Chairman of the Joint Chiefs of Staff, Caine, and Vice President Pence responded in unison: "None!"
Trump replied:
"Okay, cancel everything now."”

Iranian military spokesperson:

"The U.S. has halted its attacks over the past two days, and accordingly, Iran has also ceased its reciprocal actions. The Iranian strategy was to retaliate for U.S. attacks."

Israeli officials: “The Security Cabinet approved deploying the International Security Force (ISF) to the Gaza Strip, granting immunity under the "Immunities for International Organizations" law. The ISF will coordinate with the IDF beyond the security fence in areas outside IDF control.

Deployment requires approval from the Prime Minister, Defense Minister, and Foreign Minister. Israel will select participating nations based on peace agreements and non-hostility toward Israel. Approximately 200 representatives from friendly countries, including Uganda and Morocco, are involved.”

Israeli officials:

The IDF supported the deployment of the multinational force to Gaza under two conditions:

“1. No reconstruction activities should begin in the Strip yet (because Hamas has not yet agreed to disarm). While infrastructure work for the multinational force's base has already begun in the Gaza envelope, actual construction of "Green Rafah" – the area where Gazans will be housed under Israeli supervision and ISF control – has not yet started.

2. No countries hostile to Israel should be allowed to participate in the multinational force, particularly Turkey and Qatar.”
