'In retaliation to the American aggression against our country and its massacres against our people, the latest of which was the massacre in the capital, Sanaa, which left dozens of martyrs and wounded, the Yemeni Armed Forces carried out two specific military operations.'

US, Jordan offer Syria support in upholding Sweida cease-fire
AMMAN — Syrian and Jordanian foreign ministers and a U.S. envoy agreed on Tuesday to form a working group to help Damascus uphold a cease-fire in Sweida province, rocked by recent sectarian clashes. In a joint statement issued after a meeting in Amman, Jordan and the United States said they "agreed to respond to the Syrian government's request to establish a trilateral working group [Syrian–Jordanian–American] to support the Syrian government's efforts to consolidate the cease-fire" in Sweida and "resolve the crisis" there. They also agreed to hold another meeting in the coming weeks. The Syrian foreign ministry said its top diplomat Asaad al-Shaibani met with Jordan's Foreign Minister Ayman Safadi and US envoy for Syria Tom Barrack to discuss "ways of strengthening cooperation and coordination between the three sides" in order to serve Syria's stability, "sovereignty and regional security." Damascus said the sides had agreed to form a working group "to support the Syrian government's efforts to consolidate the cease-fire in Sweida province, and work to find a comprehensive solution to the crisis." The meeting on Tuesday was a continuation of discussions held between the officials in Amman on July 19 about deadly clashes in the Druze-majority Syrian province of Sweida, where a week of sectarian violence killed 1,400 people before a cease-fire put an end to the bloodshed. Syria's minority communities have expressed concerns for their safety since December, when an Islamist-led offensive toppled longtime ruler Bashar al-Assad, who had presented himself as a protector of minorities. While the new Syrian authorities have repeatedly stated their intent to protect all of the country's ethnic and religious groups, the killing of more than 1,700 mostly Alawite civilians along the coast in March and the violence in Sweida have raised doubts about their ability to manage sectarian tensions. Barrack, in a post on X, described the talks on Tuesday as "productive", adding that the Syrian government had "pledged to utilize all resources to hold perpetrators of the Sweida atrocities accountable," using an alternative transliteration of the province's name. "Syria will fully cooperate with the U.N. to investigate these crimes, including the horrific violence at Sweida National Hospital," he added. Jordan's King Abdullah II separately met with Shaibani and Barrack, expressing his "support for Syria's efforts to preserve its security, stability, sovereignty, and territorial integrity," a royal statement said. It noted "the importance of Washington's role in supporting the reconstruction process in Syria in a manner that preserves the rights of all Syrians." The king also said Jordan was ready "to share its expertise in all fields to help develop and strengthen the capabilities of Syrian institutions" and "noted the need to step up Jordanian-Syrian cooperation, particularly in combating terrorism and preventing arms and drug smuggling," the statement added. According to the Syrian statement, the foreign ministers' meeting welcomed Damascus's efforts to "restore basic services, hold perpetrators of violations to account, and prepare the conditions for the return of displaced people to their homes."

Hamas delegation arrives in Cairo as Netanyahu says partial truce not an option
Senior Hamas official Khalil al-Hayya and his delegation arrived in Cairo Tuesday evening, Egypt's state-affiliated al-Qahera News channel reported, while from Israel, Benjamin Netanyahu told local media that a partial cease-fire deal would not be on the table. The Palestinian negotiators will begin holding talks with Egyptian mediators on the framework, which Qatari and Egyptian officials have been drafting this past week. The renewed push for a cease-fire comes as Israel prepares for its phased occupation of Gaza amid global outcry. The Israeli plan is expected to take some time to launch, leaving room for a potential cease-fire, which White House envoy Steve Witkoff continues to push for, having just met with the Qatari prime minister over the weekend to deliver Trump's message urging an "all or nothing" truce that ends the war for good. Egypt's Foreign Minister Badr Abdelatty said that Cairo, working in coordination with Qatar and the U.S., is seeking a 'comprehensive agreement,' a sentiment apparently echoed by Netanyahu, who said he thinks the possibility of a partial cease-fire deal with Hamas 'is behind us,' Times of Israel reported, citing comments during an interview with the i24 television channel. 'You heard President Trump,' Netanyahu said when asked if the possibility of forging a partial cease-fire and hostage release deal is still open. 'I think it's behind us.' 'We've made all kinds of attempts,' he says, without elaborating. 'We went a long way. It became clear to us that they're just leading us astray.' Previous rounds of negotiations stuck on the withdrawal of Israeli troops from the territory, which Israel now plans to completely occupy. Domestically, Netanyahu is facing increasing pressure from his government and the public to end the war. 'In any case, a lot of hostages, both living and dead, will remain in their hands,' he says, appearing to refer to a past proposal for a partial deal, which would have secured the release of 10 living hostages and the bodies of 18 more. 'I want everyone — both the living and the fallen,' he said.
