POLICY WIRE — Washington, D.C. — US President Donald Trump’s “Board of Peace” on Monday assured Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu that Israel’s withdrawal from Gaza would only commence following Hamas’ complete disarmament, addressing Netanyahu’s objections.

The assurance came after two members of Netanyahu’s security cabinet urged a vote to rescind the deal championed by Trump, following the release of a text calling for a phased Israeli withdrawal. Netanyahu’s office confirmed it had raised concerns with the United States.

Trump, on Friday, had hailed the deal as a significant step towards peace. However, the recent developments indicate a conditional approach to the withdrawal, emphasizing security prerequisites.
