Yesterday's key developments:

  • The United States signed an agreement to build a new embassy compound in Jerusalem, a move that Israel said reflected the "unbreakable alliance" between the countries.
  • The US Department of Defence's CENTCOM sais it stands "shoulder to shoulder" with regional partners in the Middle East following a security conference with leaders from Bahrain, Egypt, Jordan, Kuwait, Lebanon, Oman, Qatar, Saudi Arabia, Syria, the United Arab Emirates, and Yemen.
  • Israel's military has accused a West Bank charity of cooperating with the Palestinian movement Hamas and financing armed groups after shutting down its headquarters the previous day, an allegation the organisation denies.
