Cabinet Approves Gaza Peace Initiative
The Israeli Cabinet approved the entry of international forces and the Peace Council into the Gaza Strip, starting with a pilot project in Rafah in the south of the territory. The aim is to restore essential services, deliver humanitarian aid, and establish temporary housing in areas outside Hamas control. The agreement includes the creation of a pilot humanitarian zone managed by a team of Palestinian technocrats, supported by an international stabilization force from several countries, with strict security screening procedures for residents wishing to move. Israel conditions any complete military withdrawal on Hamas disarmament, while maintaining its security control. The plan is proposed to be under limited international oversight, with Israeli control preserved over sensitive areas. Observers express concerns about division within the territory and restrictions on Palestinian freedoms, as the Israeli military continues targeted killings and raids despite a ceasefire, aiming to weaken Palestinian security institutions.
