05.03.2025Day Arabs Built While Trump Talked
The Arab League adopted Egypt's $53 billion Gaza reconstruction plan, proposing a three-phase transition over five years.

The afternoon brought revelations about Shin Bet's October 7 investigation, putting Netanyahu in a political crisis while acknowledging failures in understanding Hamas's strategy. The IDF Chief of Staff announced plans for a large-scale Gaza maneuver.

Evening headlines shifted to unprecedented direct negotiations between the Trump administration and Hamas regarding American hostages and a potential ceasefire, initially conducted without Israel's knowledge. Washington later clarified these talks were coordinated with Israel.
