Spielman said that Israel’s position is based on the need to ensure that the plan includes a clear timeline for the disarmament of Hamas. He also said that the plan would not be implemented without a clear commitment from Hamas.

In a statement, Hamas said it would not accept any plan that would allow it to continue to fight. Trump called the plan a “major milestone” and said that it would lead to “genuine, verifiable and irreversible demilitarization of Hamas.”

Spielman said, citing AFP, that Hamas would not accept “further October 7-style massacres.” He added that the plan would allow Israel to maintain security and prevent further attacks.

Israel’s position is that the plan would not be implemented without a clear timeline for the disarmament of Hamas. The material also notes that NBC News reported that Israel feared Hamas would be able to continue to operate.
