Demilitarization

The US received intelligence that Hamas plans to evade disarmament. Kushner warned Khalil al-Hayya that if they attempt to cheat, the process will halt and Israel will be free to act. Hamas has committed to implementing all 20 points of the plan, including demilitarization.

The Prime Minister is meeting with a US administration advisor and Peace Council officials to discuss a 15-point plan. The talks follow Hamas's stated willingness to disarm and the proposed establishment of civilian pilot zones in the Gaza Strip.

The fundamental question that must be asked now is whether Hamas is even capable of surviving as a purely political entity? Throughout all its years of rule, Hamas's power did not stem from free popular support alone, but also from the barrel of a gun.

When military pressure increases, Hamas turns to negotiations; when control is damaged, it relies on aid; when it struggles to protect infrastructure, it returns to civilian areas; and when a halt to strikes is required, it presents a willingness for an agreement and portrays Israel as the one obstructing it. Misery and international pressure are tools for buying time, maintaining control...

Israel is working to block the 15-point plan previously considered by the government. "The Prime Minister did not initially understand the gravity of the situation, but now realizes its significance," the source stated. Regarding Iran, the source added: "The current situation is the best for us. The Iranian clock is ticking."

In an exclusive interview with Channel 12, Nickolay Mladenov addressed the Gaza demilitarization plan. He emphasized that the process is not based on trust in Hamas and that any IDF withdrawal will be strictly phased and conditional.

In an interview with Radio Tzafon 104.5FM, Minister Orit Strock claimed that the "roadmap" hollows out the demilitarization of Gaza, and called to stop the withdrawal and the introduction of multinational forces.

Although agreements have not yet been officially signed, the IDF has tightened its policy of targeted killings in Gaza, and the Peace Council is advancing preparations for multinational forces. Simultaneously, pressure is mounting on Israel to expedite a partial troop withdrawal.

The attempt to introduce a 'technocratic committee' in the Gaza Strip is a strategic conspiracy by regional powers to sabotage the U.S. vision for a new order and preserve Hamas's influence.

The IDF has paused strikes in the Gaza Strip amid negotiations on demilitarization. Ministers Bezalel Smotrich and Orit Struck claim the cabinet was misled regarding the details of the proposed plan.

The Prime Minister's Office criticized the proposed plan for the disarmament of Hamas, clarifying that it does not reflect Israel's position. In light of President Donald Trump's remarks, Jerusalem warns that the terrorist organization has used the ceasefire to rebuild its military infrastructure.

El Alamein has become the site for the Gaza war-ending 'roadmap'. While the plan mandates the transfer of governance to a new Palestinian body, critics warn of massive loopholes regarding Hamas disarmament and verification mechanisms.

In Israel, there is satisfaction with Hamas's agreement to surrender its weapons, but warnings are issued that there is still no agreement on storage methods, the pace of demilitarization, and Israeli withdrawal. The assessment is that implementation will take at least a year and that Hamas will attempt to circumvent the agreement.

After Donald Trump said Hamas agreed to disarm, the “Peace Council” published a demilitarization plan and how it is expected to be carried out.

During the program "Israel This Morning" with Shira Kai Cohen, Col. (res.) Yoni Ben-Menachem addressed the situation in the Gaza Strip and presented his firm position regarding the management of the campaign. Ben-Menachem emphasized that in his opinion, "Gaza must be occupied militarily and civilly," but noted that "at the moment, that is not the case." He described the current stage as "critical...

Against the backdrop of reports on progress in negotiations for an arrangement in the Gaza Strip, a political source clarified today (Thursday) that Israel is not changing its principled position. Full disarmament of Hamas and demilitarization of the Gaza Strip remain prerequisites for any process, and no withdrawal from the 'yellow line' will occur until these conditions are met.

As first reported on C14, significant progress has been made in negotiations regarding the next phase in the Gaza Strip. Sources in Israel and Gaza report a convergence toward agreements, with Hamas conditioning progress on a full IDF withdrawal and an end to targeted killings.

According to sources, agreements are emerging regarding the future of the Gaza Strip. The agreements have not yet been signed, and it is unclear if they will ripen into actual implementation.
