The ongoing uncertainty over the Gaza ceasefire and the rift between the US and Israel could weigh on regional stability, affecting energy prices and defense stocks. However, the reaffirmation of the disarmament condition may provide some clarity, potentially stabilizing markets in the short term.

Event Summary

The Board of Peace, a US-led body created by President Donald Trump to manage Gaza's postwar transition, on Monday assured Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu that Israel's withdrawal from Gaza would only begin after Hamas's complete disarmament. This followed Israel's objections to the board's earlier text that called for a phased withdrawal and an immediate cessation of Israeli strikes. The board's high representative for Gaza, Nickolay Mladenov, met with Netanyahu, and the board said it had reached a 'common understanding of the shared objectives' with Israel. However, Israel's withdrawal beyond the Yellow Line will only occur once decommissioning of weapons is complete, as Hamas committed to mediators. The dispute highlights a disconnect between Trump and Netanyahu, who faces a tough re-election fight in October. Far-right Finance Minister Bezalel Smotrich demanded a new cabinet vote on the plan. Despite the assurances, Israeli strikes continued, killing 19 Palestinians on Sunday and two more on Monday, according to Gaza's civil defence. Qatar, Egypt, and Turkey, which mediate the truce, criticized Israel for renewed strikes. Mohammed Dahlan, a senior Palestinian figure, accused Netanyahu of obstructing the peace process. The situation remains tense, with no major strikes reported on Monday but ongoing violence.
