Israel's Foreign Minister Gideon Sa'ar reaffirmed the country's commitment to the United States president's 20-point plan for Gaza during talks with Japan's Foreign Minister in Jerusalem. Sa'ar emphasized that for the plan to move forward, Hamas must disarm and Gaza must be demilitarized, highlighting these as essential conditions. He also called on the Palestinian Authority to halt its policy of providing stipends to individuals involved in attacks and to cease incitement and diplomatic actions against Israel in international arenas. The Palestinian Authority has stated that it has made changes to its payment system.
