• The Board of Peace confirms Israel's withdrawal from Gaza hinges on Hamas's complete disarmament.
• Israeli military strikes continue even amid peace negotiations and international condemnations.
• Prime Minister Netanyahu expresses clear disagreements with Trump's peace plan, asserting a need for Hamas’s total disarmament.
• The dynamics of the agreement face challenges as Israeli officials demand revisions to protect their military interests.
• Criticism from mediators highlights ongoing civilian casualties during Israeli operations in Gaza.

The US-led Board of Peace has firmly indicated that any Israeli withdrawal from Gaza will only occur after the complete disarmament of Hamas. This commitment was reaffirmed during a meeting between Board Director Nickolay Mladenov and Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu on August 3. The Board emphasized that "the withdrawal of the IDF beyond the Yellow Line will take place only once decommissioning is complete," a line which reflects Netanyahu’s concerns about security, according to Al Jazeera, South China Morning Post, and India Times.

Despite the assurances from the Board of Peace, Israeli military operations in Gaza have continued unabated. Over the weekend, Israeli air strikes resulted in fatalities, further complicating the fragile situation. Reports indicate that since the announcement of the disarmament plan by Trump, Israel has maintained its stance that it will not withdraw without ensuring that Hamas’s military capabilities are entirely dismantled, according to Le Monde and Middle East Eye.

Netanyahu has voiced clear disagreements with Trump’s proposed framework, insisting that there can be no reconstruction in Gaza until Hamas is fully disarmed. He remarked on the need for a phased decommissioning process that must be firmly adhered to, highlighting the discrepancies between the public agreement and Israel’s actual positions, according to Le Monde and India Times.

Israeli officials have been vocal about their dissatisfaction with elements of the plan, particularly regarding the international stabilisation force's monitoring role in Gaza. They expressed apprehension about not being able to act swiftly against threats once this force is deployed, as outlined by reports from Al Jazeera and Middle East Eye.
