Israel is urging the United States to set a firm deadline for international troops to disarm Hamas in Gaza, expressing skepticism that the planned stabilization force will succeed in its mission. Israeli officials say that if the force fails to disarm Hamas within a set timeframe, Israel's military should be allowed to resume operations against the group. The current peace plan, backed by several Arab states and the United Nations, envisions international oversight and a transitional government in Gaza, but Hamas has so far refused to disarm or relinquish control. Israeli leaders and analysts doubt the international force can achieve its goals, warning that without decisive action, Hamas could regain strength and set the stage for further conflict. Discussions between Israeli and American officials are ongoing, with both political and security considerations influencing the next steps in the region.
