Tehran has spent the pause pouring concrete. In Jerusalem, Eisenkot's bloc has a list of reform laws it wants repealed and no government to repeal them with yet. And the IDF's Central Command, by one report, has stopped warning the PA's forces before it goes into their villages to look for guns, and it's finding more of them.

Flash Brief: The Day in 90 Seconds or Less

• Iran: Tehran sends a nuclear proposal through Qatar, and Trump weighs new strikes, more economic pressure, or a deal. See The War Today.
• Missiles and cables: Satellite images show Iran digging at two missile bases, and Iran-linked ships circling undersea cables in the Gulf of Oman. See The War Today.
• Gaza: Tony Blair presses Netanyahu on Trump's Gaza plan and meets Eisenkot today, with Hamas still armed. See Briefly Noted.
• The mandate: Herzog closes consultations at 67 recommendations for Eisenkot to 46 for Netanyahu, and names his pick on Sunday. See Inside Israel.
• The police: The police's top investigator bars officers from helping the Shin Bet's election-money inquiry without his sign-off. See Inside Israel.
• Judicial selection: The reform's judges committee takes effect Tuesday, with the bar's two seats going to public representatives. See Briefly Noted.
• Aid: Trump's aid cutoff reportedly spares signed contracts and steers most of the grant into joint work with Israeli industry. See Israel and the World.
• Riyadh: Saudi officials say there's no normalization under Netanyahu and doubt Eisenkot could deliver it either. See Israel and the World.
• "Pro-Israel" J Street: The group that applauded senators trying to block bombs for Israel asks Jewish voters, in its own poll, whether Israel's actions increase antisemitism, and 80 percent say yes. See Israel and the World.
• Los Angeles: Nithya Raman, a DSA-backed councilwoman, unseats Mayor Karen Bass, and the city's Jewish Federation asks her to rebuild trust. See Briefly Noted.
• Bondi: A 90-year-old Holocaust survivor wounded in the Bondi Chanukah shooting dies, six weeks before Australia's inquiry reports. See Briefly Noted.
• Europe: A Tehran paper maps 15 European targets, and a Majlis member threatens Europe if America flies from its bases there. See Developments to Watch.

The offers going around this morning come in one order. You pay now, and the thing you actually wanted gets talked about later. It works best on people in a hurry. Israel's terms in Gaza run the other way, and Southern Command stays where it is until Hamas disarms.
