【以色列極右翼部長本-格維爾再次進入阿克薩清真寺大院】以色列極右翼國家安全部長本-格維爾進入了耶路撒冷阿克薩清真寺大院。據巴勒斯坦通訊社瓦法（Wafa）報道，這是近幾周以來，這名部長在以色列部隊陪同下第二次進入該地點。本-格維爾似乎在阿克薩清真寺大院東側進行了塔木德祈禱。根據自1967年以來實施的現狀安排，非穆斯林不得在該區域進行祈禱。

Mohsen Rezaei, secretary of Iran’s Supreme National Security Council, told Al Jazeera on Sept. 19 that Tehran has relayed its negotiation terms to Washington via mediators Qatar and Pakistan. He said Iran’s message was that if the US wants to extricate itself from the predicament it created and avoid deeper entanglement, it has no option but to accept Iran’s terms. Rezaei said conditions to restart talks include unfreezing Iran’s frozen funds; ending all active war fronts, including in Lebanon; non‑interference in Iran’s internal affairs; no collusion with domestic opposition; and lifting any maritime blockade.

Qatar foreign ministry spokesman Majid Ansari said on the 20th at the Qatar Economic Forum in New York that Doha is engaging with the US and Iran to push for resumption of talks. He said multiple US officials have told Qatar the US wants a deal to end the conflict. Qatar has exchanged views with both sides in recent weeks and is trying to bridge differences but gave no timetable for talks to resume. Ansari said any settlement should secure regional stability and push the international community to agree on protecting strategic waterways, including the Strait of Hormuz, and noted the Bab el-Mandeb is already affected by the regional conflict.
