Israel continues bombings in Gaza, leading to civilian casualties and destruction of vital resources.While there are international initiatives, including President Trump\u2019s proposed plan to demilitarize Gaza and rebuild its society, Israel remains divided on accepting the peace framework.Israeli ministers, including ministers Smotrich, Strock, and Ben Gvir, oppose the plan and efforts to involve international peacekeeping forces, asserting that only Israel can handle Hamas.Conversely, Israeli President Isaac Herzog supports the peace plan, viewing it as a hopeful step toward disarmament and stability.The situation remains complex, with diverging political stances and ongoing violence hindering progress toward lasting peace in the region.  <\/p>\n<p class=\"readmore\">\n    <button onclick=\"showReadMore()\" id=\"readmorebtn\">Read more&#8230;<\/button>\n<\/p>\n<hr id=\"line\">\n<span id=\"more\"><\/p>\n<article class=\"fn-body\">\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">The <a target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\" href=\"https:\/\/www.washingtonexaminer.com\/tag\/board-of-peace\/\">Board of Peace<\/a> is struggling to get Israel on board with its peace plan for Gaza as Israeli militia airstrikes continue to bombard the war-torn strip despite expectations for a ceasefire and de-escalation.<\/p>\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Gaza City was hit repeatedly by Israeli airstrikes on Saturday and Sunday, despite Hamas having agreed to a framework for demilitarization last week on the condition that Israel also abides by the pact.
