Israel is pouring cold water on a Trump-announced deal to disarm Hamas, bad news for anyone hoping the Gaza ceasefire leads to real peace.

• Trump announced a deal where Hamas agrees to give up light weapons, heavy weapons, weapons factories, and tunnels, in phases tied to an Israeli withdrawal.
• Netanyahu's office rejected it, saying even full disarmament would not meet Israel's demands.
• This is the same framework agreed back in October that stalled — Israel never withdrew and kept striking Gaza, so Hamas never disarmed.
• Israel's prime minister and ambassador both said flatly there will be no Palestinian state, ever, even in a negotiated peace.
• Israel's parliament already voted overwhelmingly to reject a Palestinian state, and Israel now holds about 70% of Gaza, past the agreed line.

Outlook: With Israel refusing any statehood and moving the goalposts each time a condition is met, this deal looks likely to stall like the last one.
