Israeli Prime Minister Netanyahu defended building settlements around occupied Jerusalem, saying the measures aim "to safeguard Jerusalem's territorial unity." The United Nations has long held that settlement construction on occupied Palestinian territory, including East Jerusalem, violates international law; such unilateral steps undermine the two-state framework, impede the peace process and lack legal force or broad international recognition.

Abdolreza Rahmani Fazli told media in Beijing during the World Peace Forum that Iran plans to levy service fees for Strait of Hormuz transit in line with international practice. He said transit had been unimpeded prior to the outbreak of hostilities involving the US, Israel and Iran; Tehran has not announced tariffs but intends fees to cover navigation safety, pilotage and environmental protection costs, consistent with other international waterways. Fazli added the strait's traffic is gradually returning to normal and the Iran‑Oman jointly managed channel is restoring order.
