A senior U.S. official stated that Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu has not been a cooperative partner in U.S.-led efforts to rebuild Gaza, alleging that his actions have worsened the situation. The official noted that the Israel Defense Forces' (IDF) progress in Gaza has been slower than anticipated, resulting in Israel occupying an additional 10% of the territory beyond what was agreed upon in a 2025 ceasefire deal with Hamas.
According to the official, former President Donald Trump's plan for Gaza's reconstruction has largely stalled due to disagreements among Israel, Hamas, and the Disarmament Council. Key obstacles include the inability to agree on the terms and sequence of Hamas's disarmament and the withdrawal of Israeli forces.
Israeli leaders have consistently maintained that large-scale reconstruction cannot commence before Hamas is disarmed. This fundamental disagreement remains a primary impediment to the American reconstruction plan's implementation.
