Trump's Gaza Disarmament Plan Faces Resistance from Israel

A plan announced by US President Donald Trump for the complete disarmament of Hamas in Gaza is facing significant obstacles as Israel expresses objections to the proposed terms. The Trump administration's Board of Peace recently clarified that the Israeli military's withdrawal beyond the Yellow Line will only begin once the decommissioning of weapons is complete. This clarification follows concerns raised by Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu and members of his security cabinet regarding a previous text that called for a phased withdrawal and an immediate cessation of Israeli strikes.

While President Trump previously described the agreement as a major milestone, tensions have emerged between the US and Israeli leadership. Far right ministers in Israel have pressured Netanyahu to reject the plan and have called for new votes to scrap the agreement. Meanwhile, Hamas stated it is adhering to the agreed implementation of the second phase of the ceasefire and is awaiting an official response from mediators.

On the ground, Israeli military operations continue. Reports indicate that Israeli strikes killed 19 Palestinians on Sunday and two more on Monday. Mediators from Qatar, Egypt, and Turkey have criticized these ongoing attacks, stating they jeopardize de-escalation and violate international law. Israel has justified the strikes by citing Hamas violations of the ceasefire agreement.

Outlets with different political leans framed the situation differently. Center lean coverage focused on the growing discord between Trump and Israel. Center left coverage highlighted the disconnect between Trump's public optimism and the reality of Netanyahu's objections. Center right coverage emphasized Israel's refusal to withdraw from Gaza until disarmament is fully achieved.
