This stance underscores Israel&#39;s long-held position that the militant group&#39;s military capabilities and administrative power must be neutralized before significant rebuilding can commence.<\/p>\n<p>The official&#39;s comments come amidst reports indicating that Hamas has been actively bolstering its economic and administrative presence in Gaza following the recent ceasefire. The group is said to be regulating chicken prices, levying fees on goods like cigarettes and fuel, and replacing officials killed during the conflict, effectively re-entrenching its authority in areas from which Israeli forces have withdrawn. Analysts suggest Hamas is exploiting delays in the implementation of the U.S.-backed &quot;<a href=\"https:\/\/thestockmarketwatch.com\/live\/trump-stock-market\" data-internallinksmanager029f6b8e52c=\"8\" title=\"Trump\">Trump<\/a> plan&quot; to solidify its rule.<\/p>\n<p>The &quot;Trump plan,&quot; a multilateral agreement aimed at ending the Gaza war, outlines several phases, including the establishment of a transitional authority, deployment of a multinational security force, disarmament of Hamas, and subsequent reconstruction. However, progress on the plan has reportedly faltered, with multiple sources indicating it is effectively stalled. This deadlock has led to concerns about a potential de facto partition of Gaza, with reconstruction efforts possibly limited to Israeli-controlled areas.<\/p>\n<p>While the overarching Israeli position emphasizes disarmament before reconstruction, an official in the Prime Minister&#39;s Office previously stated that rebuilding could begin immediately in areas already secured by the IDF, without waiting for the second phase of the Trump agreement. This suggests a nuanced approach where reconstruction might proceed in phases, prioritizing stability and security in specific zones. However, Hamas has consistently refused to disarm, further complicating the path to comprehensive reconstruction and a lasting resolution.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Key
