Cairo Urges New Israeli Govt to Disarm Hamas
According to the newspaper Yedioth Ahronoth, Egyptian officials informed their American counterparts during Jared Kushner's visit to Cairo that achieving real progress on disarming Hamas in the Gaza Strip is difficult under the current Israeli government. Egypt links the success of disarmament to the presence of an Israeli party willing to commit clearly, as Netanyahu insists on disarmament before withdrawing from Gaza, while Hamas demands a halt to attacks and withdrawal as preconditions. The United States and other countries continue efforts to push forward the final stages of the Gaza peace plan, which includes disarmament and reconstruction, but disagreements among the parties—particularly regarding the timeline and guarantees—hamper progress. The issue is now directly connected to the future of the Israeli government and upcoming elections, with Israel expressing reservations about making concessions without clear guarantees. Analyses suggest that a change in government could open up prospects for reaching broader agreements.
