Israeli forces detained at least 10 Palestinians across the occupied West Bank overnight, the Palestinian Authority’s Commission for Detainees and Ex-Detainees Affairs and the Palestinian Prisoners’ Society said.

According to Wafa, the Palestinian news agency, the detentions were carried out in numerous areas in the occupied West Bank, including the cities of Jenin, Bethlehem, Ramallah, Tubas, and Jerusalem.

Saudi Arabia has not established ties with Israel, but Donald Trump’s son-in-law Jared Kushner has discussed the possibility with Saudi Arabia’s Crown Prince Mohammed bin Salman multiple times over the last years, a source familiar with the discussions told Reuters on condition of anonymity.

Iran’s state media said al-Ruwaili will head a high-level Saudi military delegation in Tehran, meet armed forces chief of staff major general Mohammad Bagheri, and discuss bilateral and defence ties.
