- On August 9, Benjamin Netanyahu formally declared for the first time that Israel rejected the 15-point document released on July 31, after previously describing it as a submitted draft and saying Israel had sent comments.
- The plan envisioned a phased peace process in which Hamas would transfer its weapons and power to a new Palestinian administration while Israel would withdraw to the “yellow line” set in the October 2025 ceasefire agreement.
- Netanyahu said the Israel Defense Forces would not withdraw troops until Hamas was disarmed and that no Palestinian state would be established in Gaza or the West Bank while he remained prime minister.
- Senior Hamas official Basem Naim said the group remained committed to the roadmap and urged mediators to pressure Netanyahu and his government to comply with it.
As long as I am Prime Minister, no Palestinian state will be established—not in Gaza and not in the West Bank.— Benjamin Netanyahu, during a cabinet meeting announcing Israel's rejection of Trump's 15-point peace plan for Gaza.

- The planned 2026 deployment of US Tomahawk missiles on German soil was canceled due to US supply shortages from previous conflicts.
- This cancellation sparked intense domestic debate, with many security experts fearing a strategic gap and increased Russian threats.
- Contrary to these concerns, NATO maintains strong capabilities, and deploying land-based nuclear systems in Germany is seen as unnecessary and hazardous.
- SPD representative Rolf Mützenich advocates for diplomacy and disarmament efforts to address tensions rather than escalating military presence.
Ground-based missiles belong in Alaska, Labrador, Greenland, or in the deserts of Libya or the Near East, but not in densely populated areas; they are magnets for the opponent's nuclear missiles. Anything that attracts fire is undesirable for states with high population density or small land area.— Helmut Schmidt, 1961, in a discussion about the placement of land-based missiles and its impact on deterrence
