A series of international developments unfolded on Tuesday, February 11, 2026, including an arrest in a high-profile kidnapping case, condemnation of Israeli actions at the United Nations, and a pension fund halting deals due to alleged ties to Jeffrey Epstein. Additionally, a top Iranian official called for dialogue, and Prince William was asked to intervene in the case of a detained Manchester man during his visit to Saudi Arabia.
United States authorities made an arrest in connection with the disappearance of Nancy Guthrie, the mother of news anchor Samantha Guthrie, according to Al Jazeera. The arrest followed the release of surveillance videos by the Federal Bureau of Investigation (FBI) showing a person wearing a balaclava and a handgun holster outside Guthrie's home on the night she vanished.
In other news, more than two dozen ambassadors from the Arab League and the Organisation of Islamic Cooperation delivered a joint statement at the United Nations in New York, condemning recent Israeli measures they say amount to a de facto annexation of the occupied West Bank, as reported by Al Jazeera.
Meanwhile, Canada's second-largest pension fund announced it would suspend future investments with United Arab Emirates-based DP World following revelations of ties between the logistics firm's chief executive and the late sex offender and financier Jeffrey Epstein, according to Al Jazeera. La Caisse stated it would not carry out further investments alongside the company until it shed light on chief executive Sultan Ahmed bin Sulayem's links to Epstein and took necessary actions.
On the diplomatic front, senior Iranian official Ali Larijani stated that Tehran was ready to engage in realistic nuclear talks with the United States, speaking in Muscat during a visit to mediator nation Oman, Al Jazeera reported. He emphasized that issues must be resolved through dialogue and not "the language of force."
Finally, Prince William was asked to raise the case of a Manchester man detained in Saudi Arabia during his first official trip to the country, according to Sky News. Amnesty International shared the plight of Ahmed al-Doush, a father of four, with Prince William in a letter.
