Netanyahu told a Cabinet meeting that \u201cIsrael rejects the 15-point document\u201d but is still discussing\u00a0plans for Gaza<\/a>\u00a0with Washington, after making\u00a0similar comments<\/a>\u00a0last week. Trump had said Israeli forces would withdraw as the Hamas militant group\u2019s disarmament is completed. Israeli forces control over half the Palestinian enclave of about 2 million people that\u2019s been largely destroyed.<\/p>\n There was no immediate White House comment on Netanyahu\u2019s statement.<\/p>\n \u201cWe remain committed to the road map,\u201d said a member of the Hamas political bureau, Bassem Naim, adding that the group expects mediators and the U.S. to pressure Netanyahu \u2014 who also faces domestic tensions as he struggles to hold onto power ahead of the next elections scheduled for Oct. 27.<\/p>\n The Hamas-led attack on Israel on Oct. 7, 2023, sparked the war in Gaza. A fragile ceasefire continues.<\/p>\n Houthis target Aramco refinery and Red Sea port<\/p>\n Iranian-backed Houthi rebels in Yemen attacked the government-held port city of Mocha late Sunday night. It was the second attack on the Red Sea coast city in less than 24 hours.<\/p>\n A Houthi military source told the Houthi-controlled Al-Masirah TV that the attack targeted weapons depots and Saudi troop concentrations.<\/p>\n A statement from the Yemeni Armed Forces posted on X said residential neighborhoods were targeted by ballistic missiles and drones in the attack, and that air defense systems managed to intercept some of the drones.<\/p>\n Drones and missiles were also used during the earlier attack on Sunday. The Yemeni government-allied National Resistance Forces said at least seven people \u2014 four troops and three civilians \u2014 were killed and 15 civilians were injured in that strike.<\/p>\n Fayed al-Noman, the information ministry\u2019s assistant undersecretary, said the attack severely damaged port buildings and piers as well as commercial goods and food supplies. The military later said missiles landed in several areas, including near a television station.<\/p>\n Mokha is a main port under Yemen\u2019s internationally recognized government and has been renovated to handle shipping that avoids the Houthi-held port of Hodeida.<\/p>\n The Houthis said they targeted military forces and warehouses.<\/p>\n Yahya Saree, a Houthi military spokesperson, said they also targeted an Aramco refinery in the Saudi city of Jazan with a drone in response to Saudi drones\u2019 breaching Yemen\u2019s airspace over Hajjah and Saada provinces.<\/p>\n The Saudi Energy Ministry reported a fire at a facility belonging to the Aramco refinery, with no casualties. The ministry did not say the cause. The attacks threaten to reignite Yemen\u2019s civil war after a 2022 truce.<\/p>\n \u2014 Samy Magdy in Cairo<\/p>\n Iran\u2019s top security post changes again<\/p>\n Iran named a new head of its powerful Supreme National Security Council, state media reported. Mohsen Rezaei had been a military adviser to Supreme Leader Ayatollah Mojtaba Khamenei and a former Revolutionary Guard commander.<\/p>\n It was the latest shuffle at the top for the politburo-like body, which has a range of political opinions and rivalries and is adapting to the loss of several senior officials in the war.<\/p>\n![\"\"](\"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/08\/AP26219409088722.jpg\")
