Israel's Security Cabinet has rejected a 15-point Gaza ceasefire plan, even as the US-led Peace Council moves forward with the second phase and infrastructure tenders.

The US-led Peace Council has declared the start of the second phase of the Gaza ceasefire, despite Israel's Security Cabinet formally rejecting the proposed 15-point roadmap. The rejected framework, developed in coordination with Egypt and Hamas, mandated an end to military operations, a phased withdrawal of Israeli forces, and the handover of administrative governance to a Palestinian technocratic committee.

Israeli officials informed Washington that the roadmap remains unacceptable in its current form. Meanwhile, reports indicate that the Peace Council's initial construction tender in Gaza focuses on establishing a military facility intended to house approximately 150 Moroccan personnel serving within an international security contingent.
