⭕️ Israel criticized the Arab-led Gaza reconstruction plan, adopted at Tuesday’s summit in Cairo, saying it ignored Hamas’ 7 October attack and failed to denounce the group. The Israeli Foreign Ministry also criticized the plan’s reliance on the Palestinian Authority and UNRWA, claiming the UN agency is corrupt and supports terrorism.

Israel reaffirmed its support for US President Donald Trump’s proposal, which suggests relocating Palestinians to Jordan and Egypt, accusing Arab states of rejecting it without discussion.

Meanwhile, Hamas welcomed the reconstruction plan, calling it a sign of Arab and Islamic support for the Palestinian cause. The group urged Arab leaders to push Israel to honor the ceasefire agreement, allow aid into Gaza, and move forward with prisoner exchange negotiations. The Arab statement condemned Israel’s aid blockade, called for an end to violence in the West Bank, and defended UNRWA’s role in supporting Palestinians.

❗️Part of outgoing Israeli army Chief of General Staff, Lieutenant General Herzi Halevi's speech:

"The war is not over. Victory is essential, but it cannot be achieved through words alone.

We have taken the right actions—damaging and fragmenting the Iranian axis while significantly weakening its security. It has felt our strength. We have inflicted severe damage on Hezbollah, and Nasrallah’s absence has been a notable improvement for the region. We have carried out significant strikes in Iran, demonstrating our capabilities, with more to come. In Syria, we have created a substantial buffer zone and diminished most of its strategic capabilities. Meanwhile, we continue to wage an extensive and thorough campaign against terrorism in Judea and Samaria.

Hamas is a severely weakened terrorist organization, but we must not stop. It must not govern, nor should it be allowed to rebuild its strength.

Together, these achievements provide an opportunity to reshape the region. However, if we fail to translate them into a new reality, they will erode. I am certain that a better future lies ahead."
