Israel increases Gaza strikes as Trump Board of Peace issues construction contract
Israel ramped up attacks on the Gaza enclave following President Donald Trump's proposal for Hamas disarmament and Israeli withdrawal. Indonesia and Pakistan, along with seven other nations, condemned the strikes as violations of international law. While Israel continues military operations, Trump's Board of Peace has issued a Gaza construction contract. This escalation occurs as Trump threatens to hit Iran very hard if the Strait of Hormuz does not reopen soon, though Tehran denies that talks with the US are resuming.
Why it matters
The current violence contradicts the goals of the recently announced disarmament agreement. International critics argue these Israeli policies erode Palestinian rights and the foundations of a two-state solution. The situation is linked to broader regional tensions involving US-Iran diplomacy.
What is confirmed
- President Trump proposed a plan for the disarmament of Hamas and an Israeli withdrawal.
- Israel increased military attacks on Gaza following the announcement of the peace proposal.
- Indonesia and Pakistan have condemned Israeli military actions in Gaza as violations of international law.
Still unconfirmed
- A Gulf official believes there is a 50-50 chance of an Iran-Oman deal on the strait by Friday.
What to watch next
- Whether Iran agrees to reopen the Strait of Hormuz to avoid US military action.

International Condemnation Follows Israeli Gaza Strikes Amid Trump Peace Plan
Israel increased military attacks on Gaza following President Donald Trump's proposal for Hamas disarmament and Israeli withdrawal. Indonesia and seven other nations, including Pakistan, condemned these strikes as gross violations of international law. While the Trump administration's Board of Peace has issued a Gaza construction contract, the Israeli government previously denied a deal exists to halt current operations. The escalation occurs as the U.S. maintains pressure on Iran regarding the Strait of Hormuz and expands its military presence in Western Australia.
Why it matters
The Trump administration is attempting to broker a cease-fire through a specific disarmament framework. This diplomatic push contrasts with intensified bombing in the enclave. Failure to align these efforts threatens the viability of a two-state solution.
What is confirmed
- President Trump proposed a plan for Hamas disarmament and Israeli withdrawal.
- Indonesia and Pakistan condemned Israeli military attacks in Gaza as violations of international law.
- The Trump administration's Board of Peace issued a construction contract for Gaza.
Still unconfirmed
- A Gulf official suggests a 50-50 chance of an Iran-Oman deal on the strait by Friday.
- Donald Trump claims talks are resuming with Iran, which Tehran denies.
- The Strait of Hormuz will be reopened very soon or Iran will be hit very hard.
What to watch next
- Confirmation of whether the Gaza construction contract leads to an actual cease-fire.
- Official response from Israel to the joint condemnation by Pakistan and seven other nations.
- Outcome of the potential Iran-Oman deal regarding the Strait of Hormuz.

Israeli Strikes Kill at Least 10 in Gaza Following Trump Disarmament Plan
