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

Israel's Security Cabinet has formally rejected a 15-point roadmap for the second phase of the Gaza ceasefire, officially notifying the United States that the proposal remains unacceptable in its current form. The framework, drafted 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 technocratic Palestinian committee.

Despite Israel's stance, the US-led Peace Council announced that the ceasefire process is transitioning into its second phase. Meanwhile, reports indicate that the council's initial construction tender in Gaza involves building a military base designed to accommodate roughly 150 Moroccan troops deployed for a proposed stabilization mission.
