Israel Refuses Gaza Withdrawal Until Hamas Disarmament
Israeli officials, including Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu, have repeatedly stated that Israel will not withdraw its forces from the Gaza Strip until Hamas undergoes complete disarmament. This stance was echoed by various international bodies such as the Peace Council created by Donald Trump and the Palestinian Authority's interim governing body. Hamas, however, has conditioned its disarmament on Israel's official withdrawal and has demanded clarifications regarding the sequence of events.28 sourcesSee all sources
