Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu rejected a US-backed post-war plan for Gaza as regional strikes and diplomatic talks continued across the Middle East.

Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu has formally rejected a US-backed 15-point post-war proposal for Gaza, declaring that "Israel rejects the 15-point document" because Hamas uses diplomatic talks to delay military operations. Despite the rejection, Israeli leadership tacitly authorized initial reconstruction efforts in southern Gaza.

Military actions persisted across multiple fronts. An Israeli airstrike in Khan Younis killed a Hamas commander reportedly preparing an attack. In southern Lebanon, Israeli bombardment killed one person and wounded 11 following evacuation orders, even as diplomatic talks took place in Rome.

In Tehran, Iranian authorities executed two people convicted of spying for Israel and the United States. Iranian military commanders warned foreign forces against a potential ground invasion, while US President Donald Trump noted mounting economic pressure on Tehran.
