The Israeli government has rejected a US-backed peace plan for Gaza, according to Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu. Netanyahu emphasized that Israel would not withdraw from the territory until Hamas is fully disarmed. Hamas, in response, stated that the implementation of the agreement would hinge on Israel fulfilling its commitments, including the disarming of the militant group.
Meanwhile, Yemen's Houthi rebels claimed responsibility for an attack on Saudi Arabia's Red Sea port of Mocha, which caused a fire at the Aramco refinery. Houthi spokesperson Yahya Saree stated that the attack was a response to Saudi drones violating Yemen's airspace over the provinces of Hajjah and Saada. Iran's Foreign Minister, Abbas Araghchi, indicated that there are no ongoing negotiations between Iran and the US, but rather an exchange of messages through intermediaries.
Araghchi also mentioned that Iran would not begin talks until the US complies with its demands and reopens the Strait of Hormuz.
