Tel Aviv -- Military officials tell lawmakers Trump remains determined to move to phase two of his Gaza ceasefire plan by Christmas, while Hamas is using the ceasefire period to rebuild its capabilities

roughly six months after its 12-day conflict with Israel, a senior IDF representative told lawmakers in a closed meeting of the Knesset Foreign Affairs and Defense Committee.

According to several participants in the briefing, the IDF official said Iran is restoring its missile capabilities at a rapid pace. Lawmakers also asked whether the military has a ready plan to defeat and dismantle Hamas should U.S. President Donald Trump’s Gaza proposal collapse. The official replied that the IDF is drafting such a plan, which is currently in “design stages.”
