Overview
- Channel 13 reports that Washington is considering bypassing a disarmament phase to begin rebuilding designated areas of “New Gaza.”
- Senior Israeli officials say the approach contradicts the Trump Plan and warn that reconstruction before demilitarization would endanger Israel.
- Israeli intelligence assessments say Hamas is reestablishing control, including checkpoints, tax collection, municipal activity, and military rebuilding.
- A U.S.-drafted Security Council resolution authorizing a temporary International Stabilization Force is slated for a vote Monday, though many potential contributors prefer peacekeeping roles over active disarmament.
- Israeli officials voice concern that new resolution language points toward Palestinian statehood, as Russia circulates a rival text and the U.S. touts a regional statement backing the vote.
