Smotrich demands revote on Gaza reconstruction plan that he backed

Israeli Finance Minister Bezalel Smotrich and National Missions Minister Orit Strock have requested a revote on the government's Gaza reconstruction plan, which they claim was approved based on incomplete and misleading information. Despite Smotrich having supported the initial decision, Strock opposed it at the time. The cabinet recently approved the pilot phase of the Board of Peace (BoP) and authorized the deployment of the International Stabilization Force (ISF) in Gaza as part of postwar reconstruction efforts. In a joint letter to Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu and other cabinet members, Smotrich and Strock highlighted concerns over missing provisions in the recommendations, including changes to financial institution authority, new procedural requirements for sanctions, and limitations on the Israel Security Agency's role in financial enforcement. They argue these changes would weaken Israel's ability to counter financial activities linked to hostile groups and urge the government to reconsider the proposal after reviewing all details.
