Israel has rejected a 15-point Gaza roadmap as the US-led Peace Council proceeds with phase two and plans a military base for international personnel.
The US-led Peace Council has announced the transition to the second phase of the Gaza ceasefire framework, despite Israel's formal rejection of a 15-point roadmap.
The proposed plan, drafted in coordination with Egypt and Hamas, calls for a cessation of military hostilities, a phased withdrawal of Israeli forces, and the transfer of administrative and security duties to a technocratic Palestinian committee. However, following a Security Cabinet meeting, Israeli officials formally notified Washington that the terms remain unacceptable in their current draft.
Concurrently, reports indicate that the Peace Council’s first reconstruction tender in Gaza involves building a military base. The facility is reportedly designed to house approximately 150 Moroccan personnel participating in an international stabilization force.
