  • An 'Israeli' public broadcaster reports that the United States has presented 'Israel' with a framework to begin rebuilding the Gaza Strip even if Hamas does not disarm.
  • The reported proposal includes reconstruction projects, a technocratic government, and an international stabilization force, although neither Washington nor 'Israel' has officially confirmed the document.

The United States has reportedly delivered a document to 'Israel' outlining a framework to move forward with the reconstruction of the Gaza Strip even if Hamas does not surrender its weapons, according to an 'Israeli' public broadcaster.

The report said Washington is seeking written approval from 'Israel' for the proposal, which reportedly reflects US pressure to advance President Donald Trump's post-war Gaza plan while avoiding a renewed war in the enclave.

Neither the United States nor 'Israel' had officially commented on the reported document as of Tuesday.

According to the report, the framework would require 'Israel' to allow major infrastructure projects across the Gaza Strip, including work on water, electricity, and other essential services in areas that have yet to be specified.

The proposal also reportedly calls for relocating residents from areas controlled by Hamas to zones administered by the Peace Council by the end of 2026.

It further includes establishing the headquarters of a technocratic government, permitting the construction of bases for an international stabilization force, and rebuilding the European Hospital. The plan would also allow the entry of construction materials and medical equipment, along with the creation of an access corridor to the hospital through Hamas-controlled areas.

According to the reported document, 'Israel' would transfer Palestinian Authority tax revenues related to Gaza to the Peace Council while gradually recognizing the technocratic government as the governing authority in the territory.

The proposal would also grant the technocratic administration freedom of movement inside and outside the Gaza Strip for official purposes, allow digital payments, expand fuel distribution, and introduce fourth-generation (4G) mobile services, which are currently unavailable in Gaza.

The report said these measures are intended to reduce Hamas' ability to collect taxes and administrative fees.

The framework also includes conditional amnesty for individuals who surrender their weapons and commit to maintaining peace.

The reported proposal envisions security being overseen by an international stabilization force supported by an unarmed Palestinian civil guard.

At the same time, it would preserve 'Israel's' right to take what it considers necessary security measures if Hamas does not comply with calls to disarm.

According to the broadcaster, the overall message of the document suggests Washington no longer sees resuming the war in Gaza as a preferred option and instead wants to accelerate efforts to establish an alternative governing authority, even if Hamas refuses to relinquish its weapons.

The Times of Israel, citing Arab diplomats, reported that Egypt has agreed to host training for Palestinian police personnel, while four countries have expressed willingness to contribute troops to the planned international security force.

However, the deployment of both the police force and the international mission would still require approval from 'Israel', including agreements governing the legal status of foreign troops.

The newspaper also reported that the government of Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu has become increasingly reluctant to move forward with the plan as 'Israeli' parliamentary elections approach, reducing the likelihood of a breakthrough before the vote.

Representatives of the bodies tasked with Gaza's reconstruction and post-war administration are expected to meet in Cyprus on Tuesday and Wednesday, according to the Cypriot government.

The reported developments form part of broader international efforts to establish governance and reconstruction mechanisms for the Gaza Strip after the war, although major political and security issues remain unresolved.
