The proposed framework, overseen by the U.S.-backed Board of Peace, envisions a multi-phase transition involving the deployment of an international force, a surge in humanitarian aid, and the eventual transfer of governance to the National Committee for the Administration of Gaza. Central to this roadmap is the principle of "one authority, one law, one weapon," which aims to dismantle tunnel networks and arms production facilities. While Hamas representatives have signaled a degree of flexibility, their willingness to fully surrender weaponry remains a critical point of contention.
Israeli authorities, however, have publicly dismissed the 15-point document currently under review. An Israeli official stated that the proposal fails to address the country’s core security requirements, specifically the total demilitarization of the enclave. This diplomatic impasse is mirrored by the volatile situation on the ground. Even as negotiators discuss decommissioning heavy and light arms, the Israeli military continues to expand its presence, with Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu reportedly aiming to control 70% of the territory. The disconnect between the negotiating table and the ongoing violence—which claimed the lives of at least six Palestinians on Thursday—underscores the fragility of the latest peace efforts.
