Overview
- Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu pledged to enforce ceasefire terms "with an iron fist" in Gaza and Lebanon, warning that Israel will strike those who try to harm it.
- Israeli forces control roughly 53% of the Strip, marking a "yellow line" with concrete blocks and building new positions, while Hamas asserts control and policing in other districts.
- The U.S. drafted a UN Security Council resolution for a two‑year mandate for a multinational security force and transitional authority, but diplomats say governments are reluctant to commit troops.
- Hostage and prisoner exchanges remain incomplete, with several Israeli remains still outstanding, and Israel has accused Hamas of violations and launched limited strikes including a drone interception reported on November 10.
- U.S. officials have floated channeling reconstruction funds to Israeli‑controlled areas even without moving to the next phase, raising the prospect that rebuilding concentrates on territory under Israeli control.
