Israeli Army to Remain in Gaza Until Hamas Disarms Completely

US Official Stresses Conditions for Israeli Withdrawal from Gaza

A senior US official has stated that any potential withdrawal of the Israeli army from Gaza would require Hamas to disarm. The comment was made during a recent discussion at the Atlantic Council, where Thomas Warrick, a former CIA officer, shared insights on President Trump’s plan for rebuilding Gaza.

According to Warrick, reconstruction efforts in Gaza are likely to be limited to specific areas. He did not provide further details on which regions would be prioritized or excluded from reconstruction.

The official emphasized that the Israeli withdrawal from Gaza is contingent upon Hamas’s willingness to disarm and meet certain conditions. The exact nature of these conditions was not specified.

Warrick’s comments were part of a broader discussion on the challenges facing Gaza, including the need for stability and security in the region. His remarks highlighted the complexities involved in rebuilding Gaza, particularly in light of ongoing tensions between Hamas and Israel.

The US official’s statement underscores the importance of addressing key concerns related to disarmament and security in any potential agreement regarding Israeli withdrawal from Gaza. The specifics of this plan remain unclear, but it is evident that a comprehensive approach will be necessary to ensure stability and progress in the region.

Further details on the proposed plan and its implications for Gaza are expected to be released in the coming weeks.
