The Board of Peace will not hold Israel to the terms of the ceasefire if Hamas again rejects the proposed disarmament framework.

Allowing Hamas to retain any weapons risks entrenching its authority in Gaza and undermining Israel’s core demand.

Mashal framed Hamas’ arsenal not as a bargaining chip but as a non-negotiable pillar of its rule.

Under the approved arrangement, Rafah will operate in both directions for people only, with no vehicle traffic permitted.

The Israeli Air Force, operating in coordination with the Gaza Division, carried out a precise strike that eliminated three of the terrorists.

'It never happened; not for a single moment did we talk about the surrender of weapons,' Abu Marzouk said

'It will be done either the easy way or the hard way. But in any case, it will happen!'

Witkoff emphasized the strategic alignment between the two allies, portraying the meeting as part of ongoing coordination between the Trump administration and Israel’s leadership.

'As Steve Witkoff announced, we have officially entered the next phase of Gaza’s 20-point peace plan,' Trump wrote.

Witkoff stressed that Hamas is expected to meet all remaining obligations under the agreement, including the return of the final deceased Israeli hostage.

Tanks were dispatched to the scene and opened fire shortly after the terrorists were identified.

It was the second Gaza ceasefire violation in the past 24 hours.

Among the weapons found were multiple mortar shells concealed in a way that clearly placed civilians, and especially children, at risk.

Hamas has reportedly floated a long-term ceasefire of at least a decade paired with a formal commitment to halt the use of weapons under agreed guarantees.

Naim added that Hamas retains its “right to resist,” but said the group is prepared to lay down its arms as part of a process aimed at leading to the establishment of a Palestinian state.

Foreign Minister Gideon Sa’ar welcomed Berlin’s decision to reverse course, calling on other countries 'to adopt a similar decision.'

It remains unclear whether Arab and other states will be ready to commit troops, in part given the refusal of Palestinian Hamas terrorists to disarm as called for by the plan.

Israeli intelligence says 13 deceased hostages remain in Gaza, with at least 10 believed to be held by Hamas, some hidden in reinforced tunnels.

'Hamas is going to have to start returning the bodies of the deceased hostages, including two Americans, quickly, or the other Countries involved in this GREAT PEACE will take action,' Trump wrote.

Rubio touched down in Israel Thursday night to back Trump’s Gaza plan, reaffirm U.S. support, and promote lasting regional peace.

Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu and his wife Sara greeted U.S. Vice President J.D. Vance and his wife Ushah Vance at the Prime Minister’s Office in Jerusalem.

'There is still hope that Hamas will do what is right. If they do not, an end to Hamas will be FAST, FURIOUS, & BRUTAL!'

'He protected us and the kibbutz where he grew up and raised a family,” his wife said. “He didn’t hesitate for a moment that morning.'

Senior intelligence and military figures reject Hamas’s claims that it does not know where the remains are located.

Terrorists can do what they want to our religions, but must we then respect theirs?

Netanyahu has ordered the IDF to amass forces in and around the Gaza Strip 'in light of Hamas’ statement about its decision to violate the [ceasefire] agreement.'
