Sources involved in the mediation between Hamas and the Gaza Peace Council say they expect the United States to press Israel to implement the 15-point framework. The Peace Council is expected to respond to Prime Minister Netanyahu's rejection of the plan, with people familiar with its activities stating that the parties must fulfill their commitments. The message also notes that Netanyahu's position — no withdrawal without disarmament — aligns with the Trump Peace Council's own stated stance.
The mediators who brokered the 15-point framework between Hamas and the Gaza Peace Council anticipate that the United States will increase pressure on Israel to implement the plan, according to sources familiar with the mediation efforts. The Peace Council is expected to issue a formal response to Prime Minister Netanyahu's earlier rejection of the document, with people close to the Council stating that 'the parties must fulfill their commitments.'
The message also notes that Netanyahu's stated position — no IDF withdrawal from Gaza until Hamas is fully disarmed — is consistent with the Trump Peace Council's own condition, which stipulated that no withdrawal would take place at this stage without disarmament. This suggests that the gap between the sides may be narrower than the public rejection implied.
The development follows Netanyahu's Sunday cabinet meeting, where he explicitly ruled out the 15-point plan, as The Zioneer reported earlier today at 14:54 Jerusalem. The Prime Minister's Office stated that the IDF will not leave Gaza until Hamas is disarmed 'completely and verifiably.' The Heroic Forum, representing bereaved families, welcomed the rejection at 16:11 Jerusalem and vowed to oppose any retreat before disarmament.
The mediation process, led by the Peace Council, has been a subject of intense debate in recent weeks. The Council's framework was reportedly coordinated with Israel four months ago, but tensions have since emerged over the disarmament mechanism and the timeline for IDF withdrawal.
