The US, Egypt, Qatar and Turkey discuss next steps in Gaza ceasefire and postwar governance at Miami summit, despite Israeli objections to the deployment of Turkish troops in the Strip.

Turkey is continuing to push for a role in the international force planned for the Gaza Strip, despite Israeli opposition. Ankara is trying to exploit the situation that has emerged after more than two months have passed since the end of the war without the force being established, and is now pressing aggressively to join it.

US President Donald Trump says world leaders, including kings and prime ministers, seek roles in the upcoming Gaza Peace Council

Netanyahu set to press Trump: Let Israel disarm Hamas as international force crumbles.

Jerusalem outlines sweeping conditions as Arab states push for Palestinian Authority control of Strip, including complete Hamas disarmament and transformation of refugee camps into standard communities.

US officials want to determine whether Hamas has indeed done everything in its power to find the last remaining Israeli hostage in Gaza. If it is confirmed that this is the case, they argue there is no reason not to move on to the next phase of the Trump plan.

Sources say the administration is applying heavy pressure as Netanyahu insists Hamas must first return all deceased hostages. Washington aims to launch Gaza reconstruction by March 2026.

Move comes despite Hamas not living up to its side of the Trump deal by keeping two deceased hostages. Departure is conditional on security approval and EU supervision.

With two deceased hostages remaining, the sides are moving closer to the beginning of the second phase of the Trump plan. In Israel’s defense establishment, officials are worried about what they call American eagerness, saying only Israel can dismantle Hamas.

Although President Donald Trump declared Saudi Arabia his “top non-NATO ally,” the practical results of his meeting with Saudi Crown Prince Mohammed bin Salman fell far short of what both leaders had hoped to achieve.

Opposition leader Yair Lapid submits Hamas-Israel hostage deal for MKs' endorsement, but one of Netanyahu’s ministers has already vowed to oppose it. Vote largely symbolic.

Azerbaijan becomes latest nation to rule out sending soldiers. Israel gears up to demilitarize Gaza independently as Trump's multinational plan stalls.

Looking ahead, the prime minister detailed the intended goals for the Gaza Strip, stating the objective "to begin the process of disarming and demilitarizing the Gaza Strip and ending Hamas’ rule over Gaza."

Peace plan gets nod with a 13-0 vote; Russia and China abstained. Resolution authorizes International Stabilization Force to demilitarize and govern Gaza; creates Board of Peace chaired by Trump; includes 20-point cease-fire plan.

Hamas expands its leverage on Israel through a humanitarian push, delays internal Palestinian talks and relies on US mediation to stretch a fragile calm that its own leaders admit will not last.

Washington and Riyadh advance a sweeping defense pact, F-35 sale and early-stage economic agreements, as talks on partial normalization with Israel accelerate despite Saudi concerns over Netanyahu’s coalition.

Clan leaders in the Gaza Strip are maintaining ongoing communication with American officials, as various proposals are being discussed regarding the fate of the Hamas terrorists currently trapped in Rafah. However, Israel insists that no resolution will be considered until Hamas completes the return of all the hostages.

A new US draft resolution for the UN Security Council, obtained by Israel Hayom, reveals significant changes for Gaza, including the removal of penalties for terror-linked aid groups like UNRWA.

The US intention is to establish the anti-Hamas militias as a force for maintaining order in the Gaza Strip, one that if proves effective, will be granted additional authority.

Although Israel knows the exact location of the trapped terrorists, it will not attack the tunnel directly or eliminate them. The decision stems from US concerns that such an action could collapse the ceasefire.

A senior Saudi researcher has declared that normalization between Saudi Arabia and Israel under Benjamin Netanyahu's government is "almost impossible," citing the prime minister's handling of regional relations as making ties "too toxic" for Riyadh to pursue.

The American Coordination Center has taken the lead in managing humanitarian aid to the Gaza Strip, relegating Israel to a secondary role.

A new country is expected to join the Abraham Accords according to special envoy Steve Witkoff, who made the announcement during a business conference in Florida. Israel Hayom has learned that it is Kazakhstan, which has maintained diplomatic relations with Israel since 1992.

Language centers on Trump's 20-point plan, establishing Board of Peace oversight and vetted Palestinian policing.

According to the sources, the aim is to ensure a "safe exit" for the terrorists and to prevent any possible clashes between them and IDF troops.

A multinational force is set to deploy along the “yellow line” as a buffer between IDF troops and Hamas terrorists. The US is mapping out the designated buffer zone in a way that would leave Israel in control of key strategic points.

Washington plans to deploy a multinational force in Gaza, including Palestinian "police" units trained abroad, yet Arab states refuse to join without Hamas’ full disarmament.

Jerusalem and Washington see the coming days as critical for the Trump plan, as an Israeli source confirmed Qatar is pressuring Hamas to disarm. Israel has conditioned talks on the return of hostage bodies.
