Israeli paper: No Gaza pullout until Hamas disarms
The article discusses Israel's stance on disarming Hamas as part of any potential agreement to revive Gaza. The "Jerusalem Post" emphasized that disarming Hamas is a crucial prerequisite before Israeli forces withdraw. It clarified that Hamas has exploited previous negotiations to buy time and strengthen its control, and that past agreements have resulted in the return of hostages but failed to address the safety and control of Hamas's military arsenal. The article also stressed the importance of Israel verifying the disarmament of Hamas from weapons and tunnels, destroying smuggling routes, and ensuring immediate monitoring and oversight of any violations to guarantee the implementation of disarmament. Regarding reconstruction, it highlighted the need to empower a civilian government to operate independently once areas are confirmed to be free of weapons, along with the sustainable provision of basic needs for civilians. The article underscores that disarmament is an essential prerequisite to prevent future escalation, and any peace process must be built on separating Hamas's authority from that of the Palestinian Authority. Achieving lasting peace requires a unified civilian authority and a reduction of military influence.
