Channel 14 reported Monday evening that Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu is privately upset with a document published by the Trump Peace Council regarding the Gaza agreement, feeling that parts of the document do not match the information presented to the cabinet. Religious Zionism ministers Bezalel Smotrich and Orit Struck demanded an urgent cabinet meeting to cancel the decision allowing the vanguard of the international force to deploy in the Gaza Strip, accusing the Peace Council of misleading the cabinet.
Channel 14's Monday evening broadcast reported that Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu is privately upset over the Trump Peace Council's document on the Gaza agreement, according to a political source. The source said Netanyahu feels parts of the document do not match the information previously presented to the security cabinet, creating a sense that Israel was misled. Religious Zionism ministers Bezalel Smotrich and Orit Struck subsequently demanded an urgent cabinet meeting to cancel the decision permitting the vanguard of the international force to deploy in the Gaza Strip. They accused the Peace Council, as well as Trump envoys Steve Witkoff and Jared Kushner, of presenting a framework tailored to Hamas that does not require the terrorist group to disarm.
The report adds to growing Israeli frustration with US-led diplomatic initiatives. The Zioneer has previously covered tensions between Jerusalem and Washington over the Iran nuclear deal and the Lebanon withdrawal, with Israeli officials warning that the administration's approach risks constraining IDF operations. The current report, however, centers specifically on the Gaza track and the role of the Trump Peace Council, which has been mediating between Israel and Hamas.
The report is based on a single Channel 14 broadcast and has not been officially confirmed by the Prime Minister's Office. The cabinet has not yet announced a meeting on the matter.
