Israel’s security cabinet met to discuss the second phase of the ceasefire deal with Hamas, as Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu expressed support for President Trump’s plan to take over Gaza. Netanyahu instructed the negotiating team to Cairo to discuss the implementation of the first stage of the deal. Negotiations continue despite Israeli push back against reports of U.S. pressure. Netanyahu emphasized the need for the release of hostages as a condition of the ceasefire deal and committed to Trump’s Gaza takeover plan.
Hamas accused Israel of aggression and hesitancy in negotiations, claiming Israeli forces killed three police officers in a bombing. Israeli officials stated that Trump’s plan was crucial for security in the region, citing the lessons from previous events. Meanwhile, concerns over Israeli settlements in the West Bank grew, with plans to construct nearly 1,000 additional housing units in Efrat. These developments risk hindering the formation of a future Palestinian state.
The conflict between Israel and Gaza has caused significant casualties and destruction, with ongoing negotiations attempting to maintain peace and security in the region. The international community condemns Israeli settlements in the West Bank as illegal, presenting challenges to the establishment of a Palestinian state. Netanyahu’s support for Trump’s plan to take over Gaza adds another layer of complexity to the already tense situation.
