- Hamas officials participated in some meetings, while Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu rejected Trump's latest Gaza peace roadmap as "unacceptable," expressing concern over Washington's demand to end targeted assassinations of Hamas fighters.
- Israeli airstrikes recently resumed in Gaza, injuring several Palestinians and killing at least one, as Hamas leader Khalil Al-Hayya briefed Egyptian mediators on alleged Israeli ceasefire violations.
- Yemen's military conducted 181 strikes against Houthi militia positions, destroying weapons depots and military assets in response to recent Houthi attacks on civilians and government forces.
- Israeli National Security Minister Itamar Ben-Gvir publicly advocated for killing “30 to 40” people in Gaza nightly and promoted mass Palestinian emigration from Gaza, reflecting a surge in far-right rhetoric ahead of Israel's October elections.
