Overview
- After Mar-a-Lago talks, Trump gave Hamas a limited window to disarm as a condition of the ceasefire and said Israel has complied fully.
- Netanyahu says Israel expects to move very soon to a second phase that includes Hamas disarmament, a transitional authority in Gaza and an international stabilization force.
- Hamas figure Hossam Badran argues the transition cannot proceed while, in its view, Israel violates the deal and restricts humanitarian access, urging mediators to press Israel.
- Trump warned he would support Israeli strikes if Iran rebuilds missile or nuclear programs, and Tehran publicly condemned the threats as a breach of international law.
- The Oct. 10 ceasefire is largely holding yet fragile, with Israel linking further steps to receipt of the last hostage remains after all living captives were freed.
