Netanyahu willing to give Trump's Gaza plan a chance, IDF retreating to Yellow Line - report
According to the Axios report, the US and the mediators in talks are demanding that Hamas begin the process of disarmament.
Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu has signaled a willingness to give US President Donald Trump's 15-point Gaza disarmament plan a chance, according to a Sunday evening report by Axios. This shift comes after Netanyahu previously rejected the plan during a Sunday cabinet meeting.
The Israeli Prime Minister's stance has previously insisted on the IDF's "genuine disarmament" of Hamas before any withdrawal from Gaza. The Prime Minister has explicitly stated that this includes the removal of both heavy and less heavy weapons.
Despite Netanyahu's initial rejection, the US, as per Axios' sources, is not bothered by the Prime Minister's stance against Trump's plan. They understand Netanyahu's political needs and have no issue with it, provided he continues to adhere to US demands. This includes restraining attacks in Gaza.
In addition to this, the Israeli Defense Forces (IDF) have begun a gradual return to the Yellow Line in Gaza and have stopped strikes on Gaza, as reported by Axios. The US and the mediators in the ongoing talks are demanding that Hamas begin the process of disarmament.
