Israel’s government, led by Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu, has criticized the U.S. announcement of a Gaza executive committee, claiming it was not coordinated with Israel. The committee includes prominent figures like U.S. Secretary of State Marco Rubio and former British Prime Minister Tony Blair but no Israeli officials. In response, Netanyahu has instructed the foreign minister to contact U.S. officials and military preparations have been suggested. The White House’s plan involves a new Palestinian committee overseeing Gaza and aims for disarmament of Hamas, reconstruction efforts, and the return of hostages.
