Extraordinary developments across the Middle East are raising serious questions.

President Donald Trump unexpectedly shortened his stay at Camp David last week and returned to Washington.

Meanwhile, American embassies issued security warnings amid concerns about Iranian threats, regional escalation and possible disruptions to international travel.

Iran-backed Houthi attacks against Saudi Arabia added to the regional tensions.

At the same time, before Yom Kippur, Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu joined thousands of Jews at the Western Wall for Selichot prayers, praying for the protection and success of our heroic IDF soldiers and security forces.
