Israel has not approved the entry of an International Stabilization Force (ISF) into Gaza, with the Prime Minister's Office stating that reconstruction will not occur before Hamas is fully disarmed. This contradicts reports and emphasizes Israel's stance that disarmament must precede any rebuilding efforts. The ISF is a key component of the Trump Gaza plan, with several countries expressing commitment to deploy troops. U.S. Ambassador to Israel Mike Huckabee reiterated that Hamas has not yielded any weapons, stating, "How many guns has Hamas given up so far? The answer—zero." Meanwhile, the IDF continues operations in Gaza, killing terrorists and striking sites used for planning attacks against Israeli troops. The U.S. has committed over $206 million in funding for the planned ISF, though its deployment remains uncertain due to ongoing disagreements regarding Hamas's disarmament and Israeli withdrawals.
