Michal Uziyahu, head of the Eshkol Regional Council, said President Trump's announcement of an emerging Gaza disarmament agreement is of dramatic significance for the residents of the Gaza envelope and all Israeli citizens. She emphasized that the security of the region cannot be based on declarations alone and called on the political and security echelon to provide clear explanations on how real and long-term disarmament will be ensured, who will enforce it, and what mechanisms will prevent a repeat of the October 7 massacre.
Michal Uziyahu, head of the Eshkol Regional Council, issued a statement this morning responding to President Donald Trump's announcement of a historic Gaza disarmament agreement. The council oversees the communities of the Gaza envelope, which bore the brunt of the October 7, 2023 Hamas massacre.
Uziyahu described the agreement as "dramatic in its significance" for the residents and all Israeli citizens, but warned that the deal must be backed by concrete, enforceable mechanisms. "The security of the Gaza envelope residents cannot be based on declarations alone," she said.
As The Zioneer reported earlier today, Trump confirmed a breakthrough framework for the complete demilitarization of Gaza, involving a phased weapons handover to an international stabilization force. The Israeli government has not yet issued a formal response to the specific terms, including the timeline for IDF withdrawal.
Uziyahu's statement reflects the concerns of communities that have been evacuated and displaced since the October 7 attack. She called for clear answers on the implementation of disarmament, the enforcement authority, and the prevention of any future attacks. The council's demands are part of the ongoing rehabilitation process for the region.
