Channel 14 political correspondent Sraya Harush reported that Israel has rejected the 15-point Peace Council framework. In his analysis, Harush said Hamas is the main beneficiary, as it has not handed over a single weapon and continues to increase its demands while the political debate in Israel stalls progress.
Channel 14 political correspondent Sraya Harush reported Monday that Israel has formally rejected the 15-point Peace Council plan for Gaza's post-war disarmament and governance. In his analysis, Harush said the political debate between the Israeli government and the Peace Council has created a situation where Hamas is the main beneficiary. 'Meanwhile, the one sitting on the sidelines and enjoying the event is Hamas, which to this moment has not handed over even one weapon, but its appetite has grown and it constantly increases its demands,' Harush said.
The report comes amid ongoing diplomatic maneuvering. As The Zioneer reported earlier Monday, senior Peace Council officials claimed that Israel, while officially rejecting the 15-point framework, is in practice implementing its provisions. The apparent contradiction highlights the fluid nature of negotiations, with the government insisting on full Hamas disarmament before any IDF withdrawal — a position Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu has repeatedly stated in recent weeks.
The Zioneer has previously reported on the hardening of Israel's position, including the IDF's establishment of three red lines for any Gaza deal, demanding complete disarmament before any phased withdrawal. The Peace Council's roadmap, which includes a multinational verification force, has been met with skepticism from both the Israeli security establishment and bereaved families groups, who warn that premature compromises could entrench Hamas's military capabilities.
