On the brink of escalation between Iran and the US; drama before the match against Ireland | Saturday news roundup
Maariv's Saturday news roundup focuses on two major events: the growing tension between Iran and the US, against the backdrop of an Iranian proposal to reopen the Strait of Hormuz and resume nuclear talks, alongside Trump's skepticism; and drama in the Irish national team, as five players, including the goalkeeper of Daniel Peretz's club, refuse to play against Israel.
Maariv's Saturday news roundup presents two main events. The first: tensions between Iran and the US on the brink of escalation. Tehran proposed reopening the Strait of Hormuz and resuming nuclear talks, but Trump is skeptical of its intentions. Meanwhile, drama in the Irish national team: five of its players, including the goalkeeper from Daniel Peretz's club, refuse to play against Israel. The national team coach backtracked and clarified that the team will take the field. The roundup also includes additional news: the film "Naza" arrives in New York, Mauritius refused to approve landings from Israel, a warning about a secret missile shipment that changes Turkey's balance of power, and a state of emergency in Thailand due to Bangkok's sinking.
