Israel has rejected a 15-point Gaza ceasefire roadmap, even as the US-led Peace Council announced the transition to the agreement's second phase.

Israel's Security Cabinet has formally rejected a 15-point ceasefire roadmap for the Gaza Strip, communicating to Washington that the proposal remains unacceptable in its current form. Developed with input from Egypt and Hamas, the framework outlines a cessation of military operations, a phased Israeli withdrawal, and the transition of governance to a technocratic Palestinian 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 first major reconstruction tender involves building a military installation in Gaza intended to accommodate approximately 150 Moroccan personnel participating in international security arrangements.
