@JacobMagid Not for the 1st time that Netanyahu gets Hamas off the hook: His refusal to reciprocate partial Hamas disarming with partial Israeli withdrawal, as envisioned in the BOP Action Plan, stifles mediators' (Egypt, Qatar, Turkey) incentive and deprives them of means to for 163 views · 3 likes · 0 reposts · 0 replies 04 Sep 2026 · Open on X →

But one month later, Netanyahu's office issued a statement declaring that, in fact, Israel had not approved the entry of the ISF into Gaza. It wasn't clear what had changed between July and August, besides the shrinking timeline to the Knesset election. (24/24) 439 views · 2 likes · 0 reposts · 0 replies 04 Sep 2026 · Open on X →

Still, there's no timeline for the actual deployment of the ISF in Gaza, and additional approvals are needed from Israel that have not yet materialized. In late July, PMO briefed reporters that cabinet approved limited entry of ISF troops from “friendly countries." (23/24) 457 views · 2 likes · 0 reposts · 1 replies 04 Sep 2026 · Open on X →

Israel is barring thousands of recruits to the new Palestinian police force from leaving Gaza to train in Egypt, potentially leaving Hamas fighters without anyone to hand over their weapons to even if the Board of Peace were ready to commence the process.

Talks are advancing toward deployment of some 1,200 troops from Uganda & 500 from Burundi, along with several hundred more from Morocco, Kosovo, Albania & Kazakhstan. Even Indonesia — which froze talks about joining the ISF in May — has reengaged with BoP, source said (22 239 views · 1 likes · 0 reposts · 1 replies 04 Sep 2026 · Open on X →

The source said the one area of progress has been in efforts to deploy the International Stabilization Force (ISF), which is tasked with phasing the IDF out of the Strip and assisting in the disarmament process. (21/24) 214 views · 1 likes · 0 reposts · 1 replies 04 Sep 2026 · Open on X →

For all of Kushner's frustration with Bibi, Mideast diplo said it wasn't translating to threats to withhold support if Israeli strikes don't cease US resigned to waiting til after Oct 27 election before it renews push to advance BoP disarmament plan, Mideast diplo said.

A different source familiar with the negotiations denied that there has been a directive to postpone the Board of Peace's efforts, "but clearly we are not where we need to be yet." (19/24) 217 views · 1 likes · 0 reposts · 1 replies 04 Sep 2026 · Open on X →

"It's hard to demand they adhere to a proposal when Israel ignores it completely," diplo said BoP source noted Hamas also hasn't held its side of bargain, pointing to the terror group's continued deployment of armed gunmen throughout the streets of Gaza to curb dissent (17/24) 254 views · 3 likes · 0 reposts · 1 replies 04 Sep 2026 · Open on X →

But Netanyahu is insisting that entirety of Gaza be disarmed before Israeli forces withdraw from Yellow Line. The stance has led Board of Peace to entertain other disarmament frameworks, though the original, gradual one is still preferred approach (15/24) https://t.co/hkYdyf8sB7 254 views · 2 likes · 0 reposts · 1 replies 04 Sep 2026 · Open on X →

As Israeli military operations continue deep in Strip — taking the lives of both militants & innocent civilians — Hamas has informed mediators that it has no intention of handing over weapons under such circumstances, a diplo from one of Mideast mediating countries said.

Netanyahu told Kushner as much repeatedly during their meeting last month, the source said "That's why the entire process is based on the concept of reciprocity. Israel only has to pull from a particular area after it has been verifiably decommissioned," the source added (14/24) 251 views · 1 likes · 0 reposts · 1 replies 04 Sep 2026 · Open on X →

Kushner's frustration was aired in a speech given last week to the UN Security Council by top Board of Peace envoy Nickolay Mladenov, who accompanied Trump's son-in-law during the Netanyahu meeting. (11/24) 281 views · 1 likes · 0 reposts · 1 replies 04 Sep 2026 · Open on X →

The argument was strikingly similar to those voiced during Biden admin, as the latter pushed Israel to couple its military pressure with a diplomatic off-ramp A BoP source insisted to ToI that they're well aware Hamas may try to con its way through the disarmament process(13/24) 270 views · 1 likes · 0 reposts · 1 replies 04 Sep 2026 · Open on X →

“Will another strike on a munitions depot stop Hamas from rearming or tightening grip on Gaza?. It won't. It only delays demilitarization that would happen & it obstructs civilian transition that should take place to ensure remilitarization will not be possible in future” (12 268 views · 2 likes · 0 reposts · 1 replies 04 Sep 2026 · Open on X →

But Netanyahu didn’t budge, and there was particular disagreement over the premier’s insistence that Israel continue pursuing the operatives who participated in the Hamas-led October 7 onslaught. (10/24) 292 views · 1 likes · 0 reposts · 1 replies 04 Sep 2026 · Open on X →

The US didn’t push back aggressively for much of the past year, as it sought to pressure Hamas to accept the Board of Peace’s disarmament plan. When the terror group finally did on July 30, Washington began leaning on Israel to stop bombing Gaza. (8/24) 315 views · 2 likes · 0 reposts · 1 replies 04 Sep 2026 · Open on X →

During his visit to Jerusalem last month, Kushner urged Netanyahu to at least limit strikes to what is actually an imminent threat, apparently not buying Israel’s rationale for many of its strikes to date. (9/24) 299 views · 2 likes · 0 reposts · 1 replies 04 Sep 2026 · Open on X →

But the text of both the 20-point plan and the 15-point disarmament roadmap required all sides to immediately halt military operations in the Strip. Israel has refused to do so, carrying out near-daily strikes against what it says have been terror operatives. (7/24) 337 views · 3 likes · 0 reposts · 1 replies 04 Sep 2026 · Open on X →

While less than three weeks have passed since Kushner laid out his timeline, three diplomats from mediating countries have told The Times of Israel that they don’t expect it to hold due to fervent Israeli opposition to the disarmament proposal crafted by US-controlled BoP (4/24) 424 views · 3 likes · 1 reposts · 1 replies 04 Sep 2026 · Open on X →

The weapons handover was to be b/n Hamas and the BoP-overseen Palestinian technocrats. Israel was only being asked to fulfill commitments it had made as part of 20-point plan, which primarily had to do with stabilizing humanitarian situation in Gaza, Kushner maintained (6/24) 367 views · 1 likes · 0 reposts · 1 replies 04 Sep 2026 · Open on X →

Kushner had insisted that Israeli approval of the disarmament plan wasn’t necessary for it to move forward. Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu had already given his backing last year to a broader 20-point plan by US President Donald Trump for ending the war in Gaza.

A US official told The Times of Israel at the time that Washington envisioned a ceremonial handover of the first batch of Hamas’s weapons to a new committee of Palestinian technocrats tasked with replacing the group in governing Gaza.

Kushner sounded optimistic about the prospects for quickly advancing the disarmament of Hamas when he was in Israel on Aug 17. “We could be seeing progress… in as little as 30 days, hopefully in starting to take some of the weapons out,” Kushner said in an interview.

🧵New: US wanted Hamas to start disarming before Knesset election, but it’ll have to wait Despite Kushner’s insistence to contrary, Israeli buy-in needed for Board of Peace to meaningfully advance the plan, and that’s not coming before Oct 27 vote (1/24) https://t.co/48k8e4XEgE 15.9K views · 36 likes · 21 reposts · 4 replies 04 Sep 2026 · Open on X →

But while Brussels has taken an interest in Palestinian political reform, Washington’s attention has been elsewhere, which may give Abbas the ability to push off the legislative elections for a short period of time with limited consequences in the international arena.

Pledges to hold elections were essential in securing financial support from the European Union, so Abbas may have a hard time canceling the vote completely, as he did in 2021. (20/21) 366 views · 2 likes · 0 reposts · 1 replies 31 Aug 2026 · Open on X →

Abbas in June announced that presidential elex would be held in 2027, but date hasnt been set & various Fatah divisions have led to poor polling for PA president & his party as well as increase in speculation that Nov parliamentary elections will also be delayed.
