Israel has raised concerns with the U.S. over a Gaza plan praised by President Trump, after Hamas agreed to disarm, Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu’s office said Monday.
"Israel has conveyed its comments and concerns on the proposed framework to our American counterparts. The version that has been made public does not reflect Israel's positions," Doron Spielman, spokesman for the prime minister's office, told AFP.
He claimed that Israeli intelligence had allegedly found that Hamas had been rearming and recruiting forces since a cease-fire announced by Trump in October, which has reduced the level of violence although Israel has kept up strikes.
Hamas announced Friday that it had agreed to the next stage of a deal that includes handing over weapons to a nascent Palestinian governing committee.
Trump called the move a "major milestone" in efforts to end Israel's two-year genocidal war that was triggered by the Oct. 7 Hamas incursion and told reporters that Israel was "very happy" about the developments.
