The diplomatic impasse regarding the Gaza Strip peace roadmap has intensified. While the U.S.-supported plan envisions a technocratic government, the decommissioning of weapons, and the dismantling of tunnel networks, implementation remains stalled by disagreements over sequencing.

Negotiations recently involved U.S. Special Envoy Jared Kushner, who met with Hamas leader Khalil al-Hayya in Egypt and Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu in Israel. Despite these efforts, the deadlock persists: Israel maintains the IDF will not withdraw until Hamas is ‘genuinely’ disarmed, while Hamas demands that Israeli military operations cease and withdrawal begin as a prerequisite to disarmament.

In a potential shift, Nikolai Maladinov, High Representative for the Peace Council, reported a ‘historic breakthrough’ at a UN Security Council session, stating that Hamas and other armed factions have reportedly agreed to surrender weapons and transfer governance to a UN-recognized Palestinian transitional administration. The 15-point roadmap includes the disarmament of all weapon categories, including heavy weaponry and tunnels, with the National Committee for Gaza Management serving as the sole authority for arms control.

However, Maladinov warned of a ‘point of no return’ if the ceasefire collapses, noting that a total failure would destroy any remaining infrastructure for reconstruction. In recent developments, Prime Minister Netanyahu has explicitly linked the commencement of Gaza reconstruction to the complete disarmament of Hamas. Furthermore, Mladenov warned at the Hili Forum that a two-state solution is becoming ‘practically impossible’ due to the current division of control in Gaza and violence in the West Bank, suggesting that Israeli election campaigns may be complicating political decisions.
