The peace plan, announced by President Donald Trump on July 30, 2025, involves Israeli forces withdrawing from parts of Gaza as disarmament is completed. Under the plan, an International Stabilization Force and a new Palestinian police force would be responsible for security in Gaza. Netanyahu's rejection highlights the differences between Israel and the U.S. administration over the proposed deal to disarm Hamas.
Hamas has stated that handing over its heavy weapons is contingent on Israel ending 'all forms of aggression' and withdrawing from Gaza. The Israeli prime minister's office criticized a joint statement by regional states, including Saudi Arabia, Egypt, and Turkey, which condemned ongoing Israeli violations in Gaza. Doron Spielman, international spokesman for Israel's prime minister's office, claimed that Hamas continues to rearm and prepare for future attacks.
Meanwhile, Uganda's parliament approved the deployment of its military to Gaza on August 6, 2024, as part of an International Stabilization Force proposed by U.S. President Donald Trump.

The force is envisioned to deploy in areas not under Israeli control and would be led by American Maj. Gen. Jasper Jeffers, consisting of a 20,000-strong contingent.
