A Palestinian-American teenager was killed by Israeli security forces on Friday in the occupied West Bank, Palestinian health officials said.

The Israeli military did not immediately respond to a request for comment.

The American-born youth was 17-years-old, the boy's uncle told Reuters, adding that the incident occurred during clashes with the Israeli military that included stone-throwing by Palestinians.

The Palestinian official news agency WAFA said the youth had been killed by Israeli gunfire.

The Sudanese government welcomed on Saturday Türkiye's offer to mediate between Sudan and the United States.

The mediation was presented by Turkish deputy Foreign Minister Burhanettin Duran, who is visiting Sudan.

Sudanese FM Ali Youssef told Asharq Al-Awsat that Sudan welcomes the initiative, describing the Turkish official’s visit as a “success”.

The FM had stressed in previous remarks the importance of negotiating with Abu Dhabi, adding that the “door for negotiations with the UAE will always be open.”

Duran visited the interim capital Port Sudan at the head of a delegation from his ministry.

The trip took place in wake of Turkish President Recep Tayyip Erdogan’s offer to Sudanese army commander and head of the Transitional Sovereignty Council Abdel Fattah al-Burhan to mediate between Sudan and the UAE.
