Israel's Security Cabinet has rejected a 15-point Gaza ceasefire roadmap, while the US-led Peace Council advances plans for an international military base in the enclave.

Israel’s Security Cabinet has formally rejected a 15-point ceasefire roadmap for Gaza, notifying the United States that the proposal is unacceptable in its current form. The framework, developed in coordination with Egypt and Hamas under the auspices of the US-led Peace Council, outlined a cessation of military operations, a phased Israeli troop withdrawal, and the transfer of administrative authority to a Palestinian technocratic council.

Israeli officials stated that key security requirements remain unaddressed in the document. Meanwhile, reports indicate that the Peace Council’s initial infrastructure tender in Gaza focuses on constructing a military base. According to source reports, the installation is designed to house approximately 150 Moroccan personnel participating in an international security force tasked with supporting local stabilization efforts.
