Israel Opposes Mediators' Deal with Hamas, Demands Full Disarmament First

Israeli officials have expressed strong opposition to a proposed agreement between mediators and Hamas concerning the advancement of US President Donald Trump's Gaza plan through the so-called "Peace Council." A senior Israeli political source stated that the Gaza issue was not discussed during the meeting between Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu and President Trump. Israel insists on the complete disarmament of Hamas, including the removal of all weapons from Gaza and full demilitarization of the territory, as a precondition for any progress in the process.
