Israel has dismissed a US-led post-war proposal for Gaza as military strikes continue in Gaza and southern Lebanon, alongside escalating warnings between Washington and Tehran.

Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu has rejected a US-led 15-point disarmament framework for post-war Gaza, arguing that Hamas would use the deal to stall military action. Despite the stance on disarmament, Israeli officials have quietly allowed initial reconstruction to commence in southern Gaza. Concurrently, Israeli strikes in Khan Younis killed an alleged Hamas commander, while airstrikes in southern Lebanon left one person dead and 11 injured amid ongoing ceasefire talks in Rome.

Regionally, tensions with Iran persist as US President Donald Trump highlighted mounting economic pressure on Tehran while denying reports of large financial transfers. In response, Iranian military commanders warned of decisive countermeasures against potential foreign ground operations, alongside reports from Tehran claiming the neutralization of two foreign intelligence operatives.
