00:00Israelis are reacting with skepticism to a U.S.-backed proposal that would see Israeli
00:05forces withdraw from Gaza only after Hamas as fully disarmed.
00:11Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu rejected key part of the framework on Sunday insisting
00:17Israel's military will not carry out any withdrawal until Hamas is genuinely disarmed.
00:25I don't want to give any chance that what happened on the 7th of October will repeat itself.
00:34On the other hand, there is a slight chance.
00:39So we have to find a way to give it a chance, to see what's going on, to put our
00:49hand on
00:49every small step that they are doing to make sure that it's in our benefit and be optimistic.
01:04Israel currently controls more than half of Gaza where widespread destruction is visible
01:10across the territory.
01:12Others remain unconvinced the plan can succeed.
01:15It sounds very nice, but it's a joke, because I think the United States, President Trump,
01:26needs something to say, look, I brought peace to Gaza.
01:30But it's clear that Hamas won't disarm.
01:34And if Hamas doesn't disarm, Israel is not going anywhere.
01:38And that's what Bibi said, that's what Bibi just said yesterday.
01:43So until Hamas is gone from Gaza, from Gaza, there will be no peace.
01:56Hamas says it remains committed to the proposed roadmap and expect mediators and the United States
02:02to praise Israel to move forward with the agreement.
