Summary:
As the U.S. seeks to advance the second phase of the Gaza ceasefire plan initiated under President Donald Trump, Israel warns that Qatar and Turkey are attempting to prevent Hamas’s disarmament.

Israel rejects these options, demanding Hamas disarm within months and warning of unilateral action if it fails. Meanwhile, Hamas continues a crackdown in Gaza to reassert control, targeting rival Palestinian groups and alleged collaborators amid ongoing violent confrontations.
