Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu said in a video posted on his official Facebook page that "I stand firm on our security interests. We will not withdraw from our current lines until Hamas is completely disarmed." He continued: "We are directing IDF soldiers to do whatever is necessary to protect themselves, our territory and our citizens." Netanyahu added that "President Trump and his team believe they can disarm Hamas and demilitarize Gaza - we are examining this. They sent us a draft, we did not agree to it, we sent our comments."
