The Israeli Security Cabinet is set to convene on Tuesday evening to deliberate on Phase II of the Gaza peace plan amid ongoing protests in Iran, which may influence the deal’s security implications. Israel insists that Hamas must disarm and return the remains of St.-Sgt.-Maj. Ran Gvili before proceeding, with Prime Minister Netanyahu stating that the Rafah Border Crossing will remain closed until this occurs. Hamas has reportedly resumed search efforts for Gvili’s remains in coordination with Israel. Additionally, Defense Minister Israel Katz has directed the IDF to prepare for potential renewed conflict with Hamas in Gaza.
