The Gaza Envelope Forum, a residents' advocacy group, said Thursday evening that the Gaza framework document contains 20 points, not 15 as a senior political figure stated. The forum listed the five 'missing' articles, including a Palestinian force, no Israeli annexation, conditional reconstruction under Hamas disarmament, interfaith dialogue, and a path to Palestinian statehood. It called on Israel to implement Article 13 (demilitarization of Gaza without international dependence) and to cancel Articles 17 and 19, which it said endanger the country.
The Gaza Envelope Forum released a statement Thursday evening responding to a senior political figure who earlier described a 15-point framework for Gaza. The forum said the actual document contains 20 points and published the five articles it claimed were omitted: establishment of a Palestinian force trained in Egypt and Jordan (Article 15); a commitment that Israel will not occupy or annex Gaza, with IDF withdrawal tied to demilitarization milestones (16); conditional reconstruction in areas cleared of terror if Hamas does not disarm (17); interfaith dialogue for tolerance and coexistence (18); a path to Palestinian self-determination and statehood (19); and a US-brokered Israeli-Palestinian dialogue for a political horizon (20).
The forum urged the government to implement Article 13, which it says calls for demilitarization of Gaza without international dependence, and to cancel Articles 17 and 19, warning that these provisions endanger Israel. The statement follows the forum's earlier call Thursday afternoon to cancel Article 17 and topple Hamas rule. The political source's rejection of the 15-point framework was reported by Channel 12 at 18:16 Jerusalem, with the source saying it does not meet Israel's demand for full Hamas disarmament.
