Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu has formally rejected a US-backed 15-point peace framework for the Gaza Strip, stating, "We did not agree to it. It is not our draft." Netanyahu emphasized that Israeli armed forces will maintain their positions in the enclave until Hamas undergoes complete and verifiable disarmament.

In response to security concerns raised by Israeli leadership, US President Donald Trump's Peace Council assured Israel that any troop withdrawal remains strictly contingent upon total disarmament by Hamas. However, diplomatic progress remains overshadowed by military actions on the ground. Palestinian health authorities reported that recent Israeli air strikes killed at least 19 people within a 24-hour period.

US President Donald Trump and Defense Secretary Pete Hegseth have dismissed media reports claiming American ammunition reserves were dangerously depleted following operations against Iran. Responding to assertions that missile shortages halted additional military strikes, Trump declared on Truth Social that the armed forces possess "huge amounts of 'ammunition'" and threatened individuals leaking intelligence with long prison sentences.

Concurrently, Trump stated that diplomatic negotiations with Tehran have resumed as a final opportunity to reach an accord, despite earlier Iranian assertions that no talks were taking place or planned. Domestically, the administration faces legal action from several US states over newly imposed tariffs alongside falling approval ratings ahead of the upcoming midterm elections.
