After initially criticizing it, the Palestinian Islamic Jihad reportedly allowed proceeding with the phase 2 of Donald Trump’s plan for Gaza, starting the disarmament, according to a militia source cited by the Saudi TV channel Al Arabiya. However, this does not yet resolve the main issues that keep the plan stalled: primarily, whether the start of the IDF withdrawal and the end of raids on Gaza are the precondition for the disarmament of all Palestinian militias, as could be inferred from the roadmap published by the Board of Peace, or the opposite, as stated by Trump in his triumphant post on Truth on July 30 announcing “a historic agreement”.

Hamas, Israeli escalation in Gaza aims to hinder agreements
In this scenario, the Palestinian news agency Wafa reported yesterday, based on medical sources, the death of 14 Palestinians, including four children, following Israeli raids in the al-Rimal neighborhood of Gaza City. In response to Israel’s “deliberate escalation” in Gaza, Hamas explained that the IDF’s goal is to “hinder the agreements reached with mediators, including the US administration, to complete the implementation of the ceasefire understanding”.
The fundamentalist group, according to Al Jazeera, stated that Israel’s “criminal and frantic bombings of the Gaza Strip” have wiped out “entire families” and called on mediators to “take immediate action to pressure” Tel Aviv to stop its crimes. Israeli forces in recent hours have bombed Gaza, killing at least 19 Palestinians, according to local authorities.

Netanyahu’s office expressed concerns to the US about Hamas disarmament plan
Israel, for its part, has expressed its “concerns” to Washington regarding the plan announced by Trump for the disarmament of the Islamist movement. This was reported by the office of Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu. “Israel has conveyed to its American counterparts its comments and concerns regarding the proposed framework,” spokesman Doron Spielman told AFP today. “The version made public does not reflect Israel’s position.”
Israeli intelligence – the spokesman then said – has discovered that Hamas has been rearming and recruiting new forces since Trump’s ceasefire announcement in October. Hamas’s actions show that the group is preparing for “further massacres in the style of October 7,” he continued, recalling that the plan presented by Trump’s Peace Council foresees Gaza becoming “a deradicalized and terrorism-free zone, which does not pose a threat to neighboring countries.” “This vision is in stark contrast to the current reality and Hamas’s declared intentions. The indispensable first step towards any lasting agreement is the authentic, verifiable, and irreversible demilitarization of Hamas,” he stated. “Any solution that does not provide for complete demilitarization will leave Hamas the ability to threaten Israel again,” he added.
