A wave of voices on the right condemned the formal recognition of a Palestinian state by the UK, Canada and Australia on Sunday.

The big picture: The decision by the three nations has put President Trump — and Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu — at odds with close U.S. allies, as several other countries, including France, are expected to recognize the State of Palestine during the upcoming U.N. General Assembly.

President Trump is planning to meet a select group of Arab and Muslim leaders on Tuesday on the sidelines of the U.N. General Assembly meeting in New York to discuss ways to end the war in Gaza, two Arab officials with knowledge of the meeting said.

Why it matters: The meeting will take place several days before Trump hosts Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu at the White House on September 29.

Media moguls Rupert and Lachlan Murdoch and tech entrepreneur Michael Dell are expected to be among the U.S. investors who would be part of the potential deal for TikTok, President Trump claimed on Sunday.

Why it matters: The exact terms and timing remain unknown, but it's becoming clearer that the process to bring a version of TikTok under U.S. control is at least advancing.

The UK, Canada and Australia formally recognized a Palestinian state on Sunday.

Why it matters: The decision by three of the U.S. and Israel's closest allies further isolates the Trump administration and Israel's Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu. Both oppose a Palestinian state.

Qatar wants an apology from Israel for its strike in Doha before it resumes its mediation on a Gaza peace deal, according to two sources familiar with the matter.

Why it matters: Qatar stepped back as mediator after the Israeli strike. The Trump administration believes without Qatari mediation, it will be very difficult to reach a deal to release the hostages and end the war.

The U.S. military conducted a strike on Friday against a vessel that was allegedly transferring drugs, President Trump said.

Why it matters: This was the fourth such strike in recent weeks as part of a broader Trump administration military campaign against drug traffickers off the coasts of Venezuela.

Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu has asked the Trump administration to press Egypt to scale down a recent military build-up in the Sinai Peninsula, one U.S. official and two Israeli officials tell Axios.

Why it matters: Israeli officials say the Egyptian military build-up in Sinai has become another significant point of tension between the countries as the war in Gaza continues.
