A senior Hamas leader announced that Hamas and the Palestinian Authority have agreed to form a temporary committee to manage Gaza, with oversight of border crossings and security, and to be headed by a minister from the Palestinian Authority. The details of the agreement, including its approval by the United States and the Palestinian Authority, remain unclear, and disagreements persist over the deployment and mandate of an international stabilization force proposed by the United States. Israel has expressed strong opposition to key parts of the draft United Nations Security Council resolution, particularly those that would require further Israeli withdrawal from Gaza and limit its operational freedom. The international force's mandate would include disarming Hamas and overseeing Gaza's security, but the proposal faces resistance from both Hamas and countries hesitant to confront Hamas directly. The situation remains fluid as negotiations continue, with the broader peace plan and the fate of hostages still unresolved.
