The 15-point document under discussion does not adequately address these demands, and Israel conveyed its reservations on the matter to former UK prime minister Tony Blair, who is serving as an envoy.
There will be no Israeli withdrawal from the Yellow Line in the Gaza Strip before Hamas is disarmed and the Gaza Strip is demilitarized, the source emphasized.
Notably, the issue of Gaza did not come up at all during the meeting between Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu and US President Donald Trump, the source added.
WHAT ARE MEDIATORS DISCUSSING IN CAIRO?
Discussions with mediators in Cairo are continuing and making progress, according to a separate diplomatic source who spoke to the Post on Thursday, as negotiators work to finalize a comprehensive road map for Gaza’s future governance and security arrangements.
According to the source, the road map is designed as a balanced and pragmatic framework centered on the complete decommissioning of all weapons and a phased transition of responsibilities to a technocratic government.
"There will be no exceptions for certain weapons or certain people," the source said. "One authority, one law, one weapon."
The source said the proposed framework establishes a process for eliminating all tunnels, weapons depots, and weapons production facilities throughout the Gaza Strip, describing it as a comprehensive effort rather than a limited security arrangement.
At the conclusion of the implementation process, the source said, there would be no remaining terrorist infrastructure in Gaza. Hamas would have no governing or military role, either publicly or behind the scenes, in a model similar to that being applied to Hezbollah in Lebanon.
Under the proposal, all weapons, both heavy and light, would come under the full control of the National Committee for the Administration of Gaza, in coordination with and supported by the International Stabilization Force (ISF), which the source said is led by a two-star US Special Forces general.
The agreement also stipulates that there will be no Israeli withdrawal from the original "Yellow Line" unless full disarmament is implemented.
As part of the arrangement, Hamas would commit to halting all military activity, including the recruitment of new operatives into its ranks. In return, Israel would suspend its targeted killings campaign.
However, the framework makes clear that if new threats emerge, Israel would retain the right to take military action.
The process of storing and surrendering weapons is expected to begin in the coming weeks, once Hamas agrees to this framework, with the weapons being transferred to the ISF and permanently removed from operational use.

The diplomatic source emphasized that the road map is based on reciprocal implementation rather than trust between the parties.
"This entire process is built on reciprocity, not trust," the source said. "Each side’s fulfillment of a commitment sequences the next commitment of the other side. A verification mechanism ensures compliance."
The source described the initiative as a turning point for Gaza, saying it was developed after lengthy negotiations guided by US President Donald Trump’s Comprehensive Gaza Peace Plan.
"This is a new beginning for Gaza," the source said. "It has taken a long time to reach this stage, but our guiding light has been President Trump’s Comprehensive Gaza Peace Plan and its objectives of providing a better future for the people of Gaza and security for the people of Israel."

The place was acquired in the wake of the 1967 War and then presented to Paleostinian control in 2006 by Ariel Sharon, who had entered his dotage. It is currently ruled with a rusty iron fist by Hamas with about the living conditions you'd expect. It periodically attacks the Hated Zionist Entity whenever Iran needs a ruckus created or the hard boyz get bored, getting thumped by the IDF in return. The ruling turbans then wave the bloody shirt and holler loudly about

The agreement was inked hours earlier in Egypt between negotiators from Hamas, the Board of Peace and Mideast mediating countries Egypt, Qatar

an Israeli official then issued a statement saying that the Board of Peace’s 15-point disarmament proposal did not meet Jerusalem’s demands for Gaza’s complete demilitarization. Accordingly, despite Trump’s subsequent upbeat post, it was unclear how the agreement would be able to proceed.
