On Gaza, the broadcaster said Cooper discussed developments in the enclave as Washington continued pressing Israel to move forward with the next phase of President Donald Trump’s ceasefire plan.
The report said the discussions followed understandings reached by the Peace Council on disarmament of Gaza, while disagreements remained over the sequencing of the second phase, particularly regarding Hamas’ disarmament and Israel’s withdrawal from the enclave.
According to KAN, Israel’s war Cabinet is expected to discuss the new plan and its timeline, including a gradual Israeli withdrawal from parts of Gaza.
The broadcaster said the withdrawal would be conditional on Hamas’ disarmament and the establishment of a Palestinian technocratic committee to administer the territory.
Hamas, for its part, says that moving forward with the second phase requires Israel to comply with the provisions of the first phase, including halting attacks, allowing humanitarian aid to enter, and opening the crossings. It maintains that Israel has failed to fulfil these commitments.
The Palestinian resistance group also linked discussions on its heavy weapons to a full Israeli withdrawal and the implementation of other second-phase arrangements, including the deployment of the administrative committee, an international force and the start of reconstruction.
