This agreement, building on earlier protocols and UN Resolution 2803, aims to establish a new Palestinian governing authority supported by an International Stabilization Force, though skepticism remains regarding Hamas's disarmament.

Hamas disarmament cannot be left for later | The Jerusalem Post

The Jerusalem Post argues that while the latest Gaza proposal addresses key issues like Hamas's weapons and future administration, it is insufficient if Israeli withdrawal is not contingent on verifiable disarmament. The article stresses that Hamas has historically used negotiations to gain time and preserve its military power, warning against mistaking frameworks for implementation and emphasizing that reconstruction should only begin in demilitarized zones.

The re-establishment of the Sa-Nur settlement in the West Bank illustrates this, with daily military raids and interrogations in the nearby Palestinian town of Jaba preceding the arrival of settlers.
