.@SaherAlghorra_B is the 2026 RFK Book & Journalism Awards International Photo Award winner for his work for the @nytimes, "The War in Gaza." Alghorra has captured the war. But the war has also found him: Alghorra and his parents lost their homes in Gaza City. He and his family, including his parents, his sick grandmother and two of his sisters, were displaced six times. More than 200 Palestinian media workers have been killed in Gaza during the war, according to @pressfreedom. Some of them were Alghorra’s friends. He himself came close to being hit in an Israeli airstrike more than once. Our heartfelt congratulations to Saher and The New York Times.

Less than 24 hours after optimism emerged around a possible Iran-US memorandum, negative vibes are already surfacing. A well-informed Iranian source tells me there are signs of U.S. retreat on two central issues: the mechanism for unfreezing Iranian assets, and the scope of a ceasefire in Lebanon. According to the source, the memorandum includes a Lebanon ceasefire framework, but Israel is reportedly uncomfortable with the arrangement and is pushing Washington to include language allowing it to carry out military operations in Lebanon under the justification of responding to “any threat.” Iran is rejecting that formulation and insisting on a sustainable and lasting ceasefire. Tehran has informed all mediators, including Pakistan, that it will not sign the memorandum unless all clauses are fully agreed and guaranteed. Pakistan reportedly suggested moving forward with agreed sections while postponing contentious points, but Iran rejected that approach, insisting the disputed clauses are fundamental and non-negotiable. The overall picture suggests Tehran increasingly views Washington as backing away from earlier understandings reached through mediators.
