Minister Ze'ev Elkin stated that attempts to disarm Hamas through international pressure or a voluntary process will fail. Speaking at the "Israel's Gaza Envelope" conference, Elkin clarified that Israel did not agree to, and will not agree to, a 15-point plan presented on the issue.
When asked about a timeline for disarming Hamas, Elkin declined to provide a specific date, stating he would be lying if he did. However, he noted that Israel has already effectively bypassed certain restrictions from a previous agreement. "We said we wouldn't attack and we are attacking, we said we wouldn't move the yellow line and we are moving it. Many things that were bad in that agreement no longer exist today," he said.
Elkin also sent an unusual message regarding future Israeli actions in Gaza, suggesting that Israel might proceed with disarming Hamas independently, even without American consent. "A day will come, and it is close, when we will also know how to tell the Americans: Enough, we tried, it's not working, we are doing this on our own," he declared.
