The Trump administration remains undeterred by Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu's rejection of a proposed peace plan aimed at disarming Hamas in the Gaza Strip, viewing it as election rhetoric. The White House considers the Israeli leader's political needs and believes he will continue to comply with their requests, particularly in terms of restraining attacks in Gaza. Israel's strikes on Gaza have reportedly paused, following Hamas' demand for peace talks. Additionally, there are indications that Israel is preparing to advance US President Donald Trump's peace plan for Gaza, which includes the deployment of an International Stabilization Force (ISF). The first ISF base is scheduled to be built in southern Gaza later this month. In July, Trump announced a significant step towards his plan to end the conflict in Gaza, with an agreement reached for the complete disarmament of Hamas and other Palestinian armed groups. The deal involves phases, with all weapons decommissioned and stored by a new Palestinian administration, while Israeli forces withdraw from more than 60% of Gaza they currently control. However, Netanyahu has categorically rejected the peace plan, stating that Israel will not accept it until Hamas is disarmed completely. The Israeli leader's skepticism towards Hamas' commitments stems from the group's long-held belief in armed struggle as a response to Israeli occupation of Palestinian lands. Any potential concessions for Netanyahu would come at a politically sensitive moment, with the upcoming general election scheduled for October 27. The Board of Peace is working to reassure the Israeli public about the peace plan, but it remains unclear when serious movement can be expected without a new Israeli government.
