Netanyahu Rejects Trump's 15-Point Gaza Plan and Ties Any Withdrawal to Hamas Disarming
"Israel rejects the 15-point document." At a cabinet meeting on Sunday, Benjamin Netanyahu formally refused the roadmap published on 31 July by Donald Trump's Board of Peace and accepted by Hamas. No withdrawal before "genuine" disarmament, and no Palestinian state while he is in office. On the ground, though, Israel has scaled back its strikes since 3 August. Elections fall on 27 October.

Houthis Strike an Aramco Refinery in Saudi Arabia as the UN Condemns and Yemen's War Reignites

The same day, shelling of the port of Mokha killed at least seven people. Two days earlier the UN Security Council had condemned Houthi fire on the kingdom since 13 July. A conflict frozen since the 2022 truce is reigniting, two days after the Riyadh-Ankara-Islamabad defence pact.

Iran Sets Six Conditions for Reopening Hormuz as the Revolutionary Guards Call the Strait a 'Theatre of War'
On Saturday the secretary of Iran's Supreme National Security Council published six preconditions for reopening the Strait of Hormuz: an end to the war, the lifting of the naval blockade and of sanctions, the withdrawal of US forces, compensation for war damage and the release of frozen assets. On Sunday the Revolutionary Guards hardened the line while Oman negotiated a temporary shipping corridor and Washington spoke of 'some progress'. A fifth of the world's oil is waiting.

On 7 August 2026, Mohammed bin Salman, Recep Tayyip Erdoğan and Shehbaz Sharif signed an agreement at Al-Safa Palace stating that an armed attack on any one of the three countries will be treated as an attack on them all.

Tehran Denies the Deal Trump Announced: "A Sheer Lie"
Donald Trump says he called off a strike on Iran — "the biggest attack since World War II" — because the parameters of a deal on Hormuz and the nuclear file had been reached. Tehran denies it: "a sheer lie." Crude fell more than 5 percent. One question divides thirteen capitals: whom do you believe when two states narrate the same day differently?

Trump Announces Deal for Full Hamas Disarmament and Israeli Withdrawal from Gaza
Donald Trump says a "Board of Peace" has reached a deal providing for the full disarmament of Hamas, an Israeli military withdrawal from Gaza and a new Palestinian governance structure. Hamas ties disarmament to a prior troop withdrawal, experts call the announcement hard to believe, and Israel's buy-in remains unclear. Ten countries read the same announcement as a historic breakthrough, a communications move, or a framework imposed from outside.

The same day, US and Saudi forces jointly struck pro-Iranian militias in Iraq for the first time, killing at least twenty. Riyadh's entry and the threat to the Strait of Hormuz mark a regional escalation.
