Overview
- Hamas received a written plan that phases disarmament over eight months, with Gaza’s technocratic committee taking security control first and tunnels slated for destruction by day 90.
- Israeli forces would withdraw only after a verification body confirms weapons have been collected, and full reconstruction would open once areas are declared demilitarized.
- Nickolay Mladenov told the UN Security Council to push Hamas to accept the framework, noting guarantor backing from the US, Egypt, Turkey and Qatar and troop pledges for a stabilization force from Indonesia, Morocco, Kazakhstan, Kosovo and Albania.
- Hamas officials have signaled opposition and are unlikely to respond while the US–Israel war with Iran continues, and three Palestinian factions criticized the plan for prioritizing disarmament over withdrawals and aid.
- The outlets split on emphasis, with Al Jazeera calling the approach coercive and donor funds uncertain, while Algemeiner highlights an Israeli analysis that delays let Hamas rebuild control and arms under a fragile ceasefire that has left many Gazans displaced.
