Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu has said that Israeli forces “will not withdraw from their current positions in Gaza” until Hamas is fully disarmed.
Al Jazeera reported early Wednesday, August 5, that Netanyahu made the remarks in a video message.
According to the report, Netanyahu said US President Donald Trump believes Hamas can be completely disarmed and Gaza demilitarized. He added that Israel is examining that possibility.
The Israeli military has heavily bombed and occupied the Gaza Strip following Hamas’ October 7 attack on Israel.
Meanwhile, according to reports, Israeli military operations in the Gaza Strip have killed at least 73,000 Palestinians.
