Overview
- Netanyahu said he did not accept the draft the United States sent and returned written observations, and he vowed Tuesday that Israeli forces will remain in their Gaza positions until Hamas is fully disarmed.
- The Trump administration’s proposal calls for phased disarmament of Hamas combined with a suspension of Israeli attacks, a gradual Israeli withdrawal and deployment of international stabilization and verification teams.
- Hamas signaled acceptance of the latest roadmap but explicitly tied any disarmament steps to an Israeli halt to offensive operations and a troop withdrawal, leaving sequencing unresolved.
- Israeli media reported new IDF orders to limit strikes to actions that eliminate immediate threats and to require senior approval for other attacks, a partial operational restraint tied to diplomatic pressure.
- The public split leaves verification rules, timelines for handing over weapons, and plans for reconstruction stalled, prolonging civilian suffering in Gaza and raising political pressure on Netanyahu at home.
