Board of Peace envoy meets Netanyahu on Gaza disarmament deal, urges halt to strikes
On August 3, 2026, Nikolay Mladenov, the high representative for Gaza from the Board of Peace, met with Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu to discuss a new disarmament deal reached with Hamas. The deal, announced by U.S. President Donald Trump, aims for the complete decommissioning of weapons in Gaza and a transition to civilian governance. Mladenov pressed Netanyahu to halt Israeli strikes in Gaza, which have killed 1,250 people since the October ceasefire. Hamas stated it remains committed to the second phase of the ceasefire agreement and awaits an official response from mediators. Israel has expressed serious security concerns and ramped up strikes, killing 17 over the weekend. Mediators Egypt, Qatar, and Turkey denounced the strikes as violations of international law, calling for international pressure on Israel to fulfill the deal. The war began with a Hamas-led attack on southern Israel in October 2023, killing 1,200 and taking 251 hostages, while Israel's subsequent offensive has killed over 73,000 Palestinians.

Israel conveys 'concerns' to U.S. on Gaza plan, keeps up strikes on territory
Israel expressed concerns to the United States about a U.S.-backed plan to end the Gaza war, as Israeli strikes continued on the Palestinian territory. Prime Minister Netanyahu's office demanded more concrete disarmament by Hamas, which on July 31 announced it would give up weapons under President Trump's plan to a nascent Palestinian governing committee. A spokesman said the public version of the plan does not reflect Israel's positions, citing intelligence that Hamas has been rearming since a ceasefire announced by Trump in October. The ceasefire reduced violence but Israel still controls over 60% of Gaza, with more than 1,200 Palestinians killed since the truce. Trump called the disarmament move a 'major milestone,' but Netanyahu has not publicly commented. The Israeli military said it lost five soldiers and one civilian contractor in Gaza during the same period.
Israel says it has serious concerns with Hamas disarmament deal
Israel has expressed serious concerns regarding a proposed Hamas disarmament deal brokered by former President Trump. The deal, which involves Hamas disarming in exchange for an Israeli withdrawal from Gaza, faces significant hurdles as neither party is willing to take the first step. Reports indicate potential discord between Trump and Israeli Prime Minister Netanyahu over the plan's specifics. Analysts suggest the deal is unlikely to yield a quick resolution, given deep mistrust and conflicting security demands. Meanwhile, Saudi Arabia is reportedly planning a separate offensive against Houthi forces, adding a regional dimension to the negotiations. The Washington Post highlights the core impasse: Hamas demands a full Israeli withdrawal before disarming, while Israel insists on disarmament before any pullout. The situation remains fluid, with multiple international stakeholders closely monitoring developments.
