Hamas Considers US Ceasefire Plan for Gaza in Middle East Update
Recent developments show Hamas evaluating a proposed ceasefire plan by the US for Gaza. Meanwhile, followers of the Baha'i faith are facing repression in various Middle East nations, with Iran being a focal point of criticism from human rights groups.

Followers of the Baha’i faith, a global religion with an interfaith credo, are facing repression in the Middle East, especially in Iran, drawing criticism from human rights groups. Iran, which bans the faith, is accused of persecuting its adherents. Systemic discrimination is also reported in Yemen, Qatar, and Egypt. Iran is spreading anti-Baha’i repression in countries where it holds influence, as revealed in a leaked 1991 government document. This includes Yemen and Qatar. Nazila Ghanea, an Oxford University law professor and U.N. Special Rapporteur on religious freedom, stated that the Iranian government has used significant resources to suppress the Baha’is.
Israeli Defence Minister Israel Katz announced a plan to prevent Iran from threatening Israel after a recent war. The military will prepare to maintain air superiority over Tehran.
Hezbollah is undergoing a strategic review after its war with Israel, considering scaling back its armed role without disarming completely. The group faces pressures, including Israeli strikes and financial strains, amid US demands for disarmament and reduced political influence.
