Israel has rejected a 15-point Gaza ceasefire roadmap, even as the US-led Peace Council announced the start of phase two and plans for an international military base.

Israel's Security Cabinet has officially rejected a 15-point ceasefire roadmap for the Gaza Strip, communicating to Washington that the framework remains unacceptable in its current form. The proposal, developed in coordination with Egypt and Hamas, stipulates an end to military operations, a phased withdrawal of Israeli troops, and the transfer of administrative control to a Palestinian technocratic committee.

Despite Israel's rejection, the US-led Peace Council announced the commencement of the ceasefire's second phase. Concurrently, reports indicate the council's initial construction initiative in the territory involves establishing a military installation designed to house around 150 Moroccan personnel serving in an international security mission.
