It is the first time Israel has made such a sweeping demand since US President Donald Trump announced in April a ceasefire had been imposed in Lebanon.

The UAE shifts from target to combatant amid reports the US and Israel are preparing to renew strikes on Iran, writes Matthew Doran.

A 300-page report from an Israeli non-profit organisation has detailed allegations of horrific sexual assault against victims of Hamas's October 7, 2023, attacks on Israel, accusing the group of "systematically and deliberately" using rape and sexual torture.

Fears are rising that the relative calm of recent days is about to collapse as the fate of the on-off truce talks seems impossible to guess.

Welcome to Monday and a return to the rhetorical threat spiral we've been watching for weeks. Here's what you should know this morning.

One week into the ceasefire, two sets of peace talks have taken place but the only commitment is to talk more. 

Donald Trump knows a US blockade of the Strait of Hormuz will not increase fuel supply or bring down oil prices — but will it advance peace talks?

Israeli and Lebanese media are citing the Lebanese Red Cross in reporting the death toll could be as high as 300, with many more injured.

The clock is ticking down to US President Donald Trump's deadline, but Iran hasn't blinked. 

It's day 37 of the war in the Middle East. The ABC's Middle East correspondent Matthew Doran is in Jerusalem, where Donald Trump's threats to obliterate Iran are starting to feel like business as usual.
