"The US reaffirmation of the disarmament plan directly counters the skepticism and criticism raised by Israeli officials and international figures like Macron, who questioned the efficacy and sincerity of US peace claims amid humanitarian stagnation. The US statement serves as a diplomatic pushback to maintain alignment and counter the narrative that the plan is failing or being undermined."
