The UAE is distancing itself from a reported call between President Mohammed bin Zayed and PM Netanyahu that allegedly included a warning ahead of October 7.

A UAE official to Kan: "Beyond yesterday's statement, we have nothing to add."

Egypt won't respond officially but believes Israel could have detected the attack without any Emirati or Egyptian warning.

Trump on Iran:

They are desperate to try and affect the election so that we can get a nice weak group of people in there and leave them alone and let them have their nuclear weapon.

All they want is a nuclear weapon.

Reporter: Britain, France, and Canada have imposed sanctions on Israeli settlements in the West Bank. What is your reaction?

Trump: I will be speaking to Israel and to them, and I will find out what’s their thinking.

Marco Rubio on Iran:

We don't believe anybody is giving Iran anything that's changing the dynamics or the parameters of what we're seeing.

They continue to fire on naval ships, and when they fire at our naval ships, they pay a price in tankers.

They don’t hit our ships, but they lose five tankers.

They lost five more last night. Four were damaged, and one was sunk.

They'll continue to pay a price for that. In the meantime, we're going to continue to strangle them economically
