A political source said Thursday evening that the current 15-point framework for Gaza is unacceptable to Israel in its current form, according to Channel 12's Yaron Avraham. The source said the document does not provide an adequate response to Israel's demand for full Hamas disarmament and demilitarization of the Strip, and that Israel has conveyed its objections.
The statement, reported by Channel 12's Yaron Avraham, reinforces Israel's known position on the emerging diplomatic framework for Gaza. The political source clarified that the 15-point document, which has been circulated in recent weeks, fails to include a mechanism for disarming Hamas and ensuring the Strip's full demilitarization — a red line Jerusalem has repeatedly stressed.
As The Zioneer reported earlier this week, Israeli officials have rejected earlier versions of the document on similar grounds. The current message indicates that Israel has now formally communicated its objections to the relevant parties, though the source did not specify to whom or through which channels. The source's use of the present tense suggests the framework remains under active discussion, with no breakthrough yet.
The U.S.-backed framework has been a subject of intense diplomatic activity, with envoys shuttling between parties. Israel's insistence on full disarmament before any withdrawal from Gaza remains a key sticking point, as Hamas has signaled willingness to discuss only a phased reduction of its military capabilities.
