Israel rejects post-war Gaza proposal as Peace Committee issues first contract

Israel has formally rejected a post-war Gaza proposal from the US-led Peace Committee, while the committee's first contract focuses on military housing rather than civilian shelter.
Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu officially rejected a 15-point post-war disarmament plan proposed by the US-led Peace Committee for Gaza. Speaking at a cabinet meeting, Netanyahu stated, "I want to make clear here. Israel rejects the 15-point document," with Israeli officials expressing concern that Hamas accepted the proposal primarily to delay further military operations.
Meanwhile, reports revealed that the Peace Committee awarded its first construction contract in Gaza to US firm Arkel International. The contract funds a temporary base for 150 Moroccan peacekeepers rather than shelter for displaced Palestinian civilians.
Separately, violence flared in the West Bank, where armed Israeli settlers attacked the hamlet of Khirbet a-Tuba south of Hebron, setting fire to several residences and injuring multiple local residents.
