The disarmament ultimatum
Israel's position is unambiguous: Hamas cannot keep its weapons. The demand for disarmament is a non-negotiable condition for any agreement. Without it, Israel sees no basis for peace. Israel's demand is that Hamas disarm completely. The government has rejected any plan that does not include this step. Without disarmament, Israel sees no path to a lasting ceasefire.
A plan in doubt
The plan, as presented, has been rejected. It is unclear what comes next. No new negotiations have been announced. The rejection leaves the plan without a clear path forward.
