Israel rejects U.S. President Donald Trump's proposed Gaza plan, according to Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu. The Israeli leader expressed his rejection of the 15-point document and emphasized that Israel will not withdraw its military forces until Hamas is genuinely disarmed. Meanwhile, Iran and Oman discussed managing the Strait of Hormuz, with Iran suggesting vessels from "hostile countries" would be barred.

Iran also reshuffled its top security post. In other news, wildfires across western U.S. and Canada forced evacuations, with over 20,000 people being displaced in British Columbia alone.

In Louisiana, health officials warned beachgoers about a surge in Vibrio vulnificus infections, urging caution and immediate medical attention if symptoms arise.
