Israeli Security Minister Ben‑Gvir Rejects Gaza Disarmament Deal
A peace committee announced an agreement that would require Hamas and other armed groups in the Gaza Strip to disarm, create a new Palestinian security agency, and see Israeli forces withdraw from the territory. U.S. President Donald Trump hailed the plan as a historic step and said Israel would pull its troops in exchange.
Israeli National Security Minister Itamar Ben‑Gvir publicly rejected the deal, stating that targeted killings and the displacement of Palestinians must continue and that the agreement does not reflect the stance of the Israeli government. His comments cast doubt on whether the disarmament timetable—discussed as 200 to 350 days—will be implemented. Israeli forces currently control roughly 70% of Gaza, and the proposed timeline follows the Oct. 7 massacre that triggered the current conflict.
