Iranian Foreign Minister Hossein Amirabdollahian announced that the crew of a Portuguese-flagged ship, allegedly linked to Israel and including Indian nationals, has been granted consular access and is expected to be released. This information, reported by Reuters citing Iranian media, sheds light on the situation surrounding the container vessel MSC Aries, which had a crew of 25 members, including 17 Indians. Notably, one of the Indian crew members, Ann Tessa Joseph, was released and returned home on April 18. The seizure of MSC Aries by Iran's Revolutionary Guards occurred in the Strait of Hormuz on April 13, shortly after Tehran declared its intent to retaliate for a suspected Israeli strike on its consulate in Damascus.

Hamas announced on Friday its intention to send a delegation to Cairo to discuss a potential hostages-for-truce agreement with Israel. This development coincided with the arrival of US CIA Director William Burns in the Egyptian capital, as reported by Egyptian sources. Egypt, along with Qatar and the United States, has been actively mediating between Israel and Hamas, aiming to broker a ceasefire in the Gaza conflict, which escalated following Hamas's devastating attack on October 7. According to an Egyptian security source, Hamas and CIA representatives are scheduled to meet Egyptian mediators on Saturday. However, it remains unclear whether these meetings will be held separately or together. Hamas expressed its delegation's positive outlook towards the discussions after reviewing the latest truce proposal, affirming its determination to secure an agreement that meets Palestinian demands. While the United States has acknowledged some progress in the negotiations, the CIA declined to comment, adhering to its policy of not disclosing the director's travel details.

In an internal investigation, the Pentagon on Thursday admitted that American forces had misidentified an intended al Qaeda target during a drone strike in Syria in 2023, killing a civilian in the process. Citing classified material, the U.S. Central Command stated in a statement that it was unable to disclose many investigational details to the public. Although the strike complied with U.S. policy and the law of armed conflict, the investigation "uncovered several areas that could be strengthened."

France's foreign minister announced plans to engage in discussions with Lebanese officials on Sunday to address tensions between Hezbollah and Israel and prevent potential conflict. Earlier this year, Foreign Minister Stephane Sejourne proposed a plan that involves Hezbollah pulling back 10 km from the Israeli border while Israel halts strikes in southern Lebanon. This proposal, discussed with partners including the U.S., aims to maintain momentum amid Israeli threats of military action in southern Lebanon. Tensions have escalated, particularly following Iran's missile strikes on Israel in response to events in Syria, leading to increased exchanges between Israel and Hezbollah.
