Netanyahu said that the Israeli military will not carry out any withdrawal until Hamas is genuinely disarmed and will continue to thwart threats against its Forces.
Hamas informed US President Donald Trump's Board of Peace that it stood by the latest stage of the plan, under which they would hand over weapons to a nascent Palestinian governing committee.
The spokesperson for the Israeli Prime Minister said the Israeli military would not withdraw from Gaza, where it controls more than 60% of the territory, before Hamas disarms.
