Israel Links the Second Phase of Trump's Plan for Gaza to Disarming Hamas

SadaNews: The Maariv newspaper revealed, citing informed sources, that Israel is conditioning the disarmament of Hamas before moving on to the second phase of U.S. President Donald Trump's plan regarding the Gaza Strip.

An Israeli political source confirmed to the newspaper that Tel Aviv will not withdraw from the "yellow line" inside Gaza before ensuring the disarmament of the movement, even in the event of the formation of an international force to oversee the situation there, according to SadaNews.

This position reflects Israel's strict stance in linking any political or field steps in the sector to the weapons file, which it considers the core of the conflict with Hamas, while it raises widespread debate about the chances of success of the American plan in light of the existing security and political complexities.
