Trump administration reportedly blocks Israeli 'creeping annexation' plan in Gaza

Primary source Internal intake · 2 reviewed intake signals · Desk window 20:07

TL;DR

The US administration expressed opposition to a plan presented by Israel and asked it to hold off, according to a single-source report by Channel 13. Instead, the IDF is advancing a process described as 'quiet annexation' in the Strip. No official confirmation from the US or Israel has been released.

01 · THE DISPATCH

A single-source report from Channel 13 claims the Trump administration has blocked an Israeli 'creeping annexation' plan in the Gaza Strip and requested that Israel wait. According to the report, the IDF is instead advancing a 'quiet annexation' process. The development comes as the US and Iran are reportedly finalizing a broader framework agreement that includes a ceasefire on all fronts, including Lebanon, though Israel has rejected clauses related to withdrawal from southern Lebanon. No official confirmation from the US administration, the Prime Minister's Office, or the IDF has been released. The Zioneer has previously reported on Israel's rejection of the Lebanon clause in the emerging US-Iran framework, and on US attempts to link withdrawal to de-escalation with Iran. The current report suggests Washington is also pushing back against Israeli unilateral steps in Gaza, even as talks surrounding a comprehensive deal continue.
