Israeli National Security
Minister Itamar Ben Gvir on Friday rejected the Board of Peace’s Gaza arms
roadmap, calling it “not acceptable” and demanding continued killings in the
enclave and the encouragement of emigration.
Ben Gvir argued that halting
assassinations would allow Hamas to regroup, declaring that “Israel must win.”
Earlier this week, he was also the only Israeli cabinet member to oppose
deploying an international stabilization force in Gaza.
The Board of Peace had stated
that a timetable and implementation mechanisms must be completed within 14 days
of approval by all parties. The National Committee for the Administration of
Gaza would then assume civilian governance and security responsibilities,
followed by Hamas and other factions placing their weapons under its control.
No arms would be transferred to
Israel or another non-Palestinian party, and an International Verification
Committee, supported by the stabilization force, would monitor compliance, with
each phase contingent on completing the previous one. The plan links the
registration and storage of heavy weapons, dismantling of tunnels and arms
depots, and transfer of Gaza’s administration to a phased Israeli withdrawal.
Hamas insists that implementation
requires an end to military operations and a withdrawal, while Israel maintains
that disarmament must come first.
Gaza Attacks Continue
Meanwhile, one person was killed
in an Israeli drone strike on a vehicle in Al-Zawayda, central Gaza, according
to local reports. Israel did not immediately identify the target.
A day earlier, Gaza’s Health Ministry
reported that 2,276 families, comprising 8,858 people, had been entirely killed
and removed from the civil registry since October 2023.

West Bank Clashes
Israeli soldiers shot a driver in
the neck in Beita, south of Nablus. The military claimed he had opened fire and
accelerated toward troops, while footage published locally appears to show his
vehicle moving normally along a village street.
Reports also said settlers
vandalized the grave of famous slain Palestinian fighter Mohammed Al-Juneidi in
the nearby village of Al-Juneid, entered Sair near Hebron, and confronted
residents in Tal.
Settler violence has increased around
Nablus after four Palestinians and two Israeli soldiers were killed near Tal on
July 24. Settlers subsequently attacked several villages and set fire to
mosques and other property.
