Israeli Prime Minister Netanyahu stated on the 4th that Israel will not withdraw troops from currently controlled areas of Gaza until Hamas is completely disarmed, and that Israel has not yet accepted the related proposal announced by the U.S.
He said in a video posted on social media that Israel has not accepted the plan regarding Hamas' disarmament announced by U.S. President Trump at the end of last month.
He revealed that the White House had submitted a draft proposal to Israel, but Israel did not accept it, "That is not our draft. We submitted our revisions."
Netanyahu said he has instructed the Israeli Defense Forces to take all necessary measures to protect national security.
On July 30th, Trump posted on social media that the so-called "Peace Committee" initiated by the United States had reached an agreement on the "complete disarmament" of Hamas and other armed groups in Gaza.
