Hamas and Palestinian Islamic Jihad (PIJ) have reportedly agreed to a document outlining a disarmament plan in Gaza, a development announced by U.S. President Donald Trump. This agreement is contingent on Israel's withdrawal from Gaza and progress on reconstruction efforts. The plan, brokered by the Board of Peace, involves phased disarmament and the establishment of a new Palestinian government. Despite this announcement, Israeli airstrikes in Gaza have continued for a second day, killing at least four Palestinians on Sunday, and a total of nine people according to a cabinet minister. This minister also stated that there is currently no agreement in place to halt the ongoing conflict.
Israel has conveyed significant security concerns to the White House regarding the proposed Hamas disarmament deal. These concerns are based on intelligence suggesting that Hamas aims to rebuild its military capabilities rather than genuinely demilitarize. The ongoing military operations and Palestinian casualties are occurring amid these developments. In a separate but related context, Israeli Finance Minister Bezalel Smotrich urged Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu to approve a plan for three new Israeli settlements in northern Gaza.
Meanwhile, Mexican activists are demanding that their government terminate cooperation agreements with Israel. Their concerns center on water resource management and alleged violations of national sovereignty, with protests planned nationwide.
