我报道了美国和伊朗即将进行新一轮核谈判，但伊朗高级官员同时公开呼吁发展核武器，这形成了鲜明对比。美国的目标是阻止伊朗获得核武器，而伊朗则希望取消制裁，并且不愿接受国际社会对其所有设施进行全面彻底的检查。伊朗高级官员的强硬言论，例如拉兰贾尼警告称如果美国或以色列对伊朗核计划采取行动，伊朗将被迫采取核自卫行动，甚至可能违反最高领袖关于禁止发展核武器的法令；纳德里认为核威慑保护了朝鲜，暗示伊朗应该效仿；萨巴金强烈呼吁发展核武器，这些都表明伊朗的真实意图值得关注。这些强硬言论可能反映出他们对西方的脆弱性感知，或试图利用国内民族主义情绪加强谈判地位。 与此同时，美国和沙特阿拉伯正在接近达成一项初步的核合作协议，这标志着沙特发展原子能迈出了重要一步。美国能源部长赖特表示，美沙之间正在寻求达成一项协议，允许沙特发展商业核电产业，并可能进行铀浓缩。但对沙特利用该技术发展核武器的担忧一直阻碍着谈判。沙特阿拉伯历来将对以色列的任何正式承认都取决于耶路撒冷接受巴勒斯坦国，鉴于当前加沙战争和耶路撒冷反对巴勒斯坦建国，一项涉及以色列的协议目前看来不太可能。 此外，以色列总理内塔尼亚胡正面临前所未有的国内反对，大量现役和退役以色列军人和情报人员要求结束加沙战争。1000多名现役和退役以色列空军预备役人员呼吁立即结束加沙战争，优先释放被哈马斯扣押的人质，他们谴责扩大空袭和地面行动，认为政府将士兵和人质的生命置于危险之中，并为“政治和个人利益”追求持续冲突。约1600名前以色列国防军伞兵和步兵，包括两名前以色列国防军参谋长，也签署了一封类似的信，要求政府与哈马斯达成协议以带回人质，即使这意味着结束战争。约250名前以色列摩萨德情报局特工，包括三名前局长，也呼吁优先释放人质。以色列军方和情报机构内部对内塔尼亚胡恢复对加沙的军事行动的批评日益增多，认为此举更多的是为了安抚其联盟中的极右翼成员。内塔尼亚胡提出了一项新协议，以释放10名人质换取45天的停火，在此期间将就长期协议进行谈判，但哈马斯和以色列之间仍然存在重大分歧。
