Israel has postponed the next phase of a US-backed Gaza roadmap, following warnings from the Shin Bet security agency that Hamas is attempting to trap Israeli forces. Jerusalem has not yet formally approved the proposed plan.
Israeli ministers are pushing back specifically against a planned 14-day preparatory period outlined in the proposal. Officials are demanding concrete guarantees that Hamas will genuinely disarm before the implementation proceeds further.
