# Israeli prime minister Benjamin Netanyahu says the Israeli Defence Force will not withdraw from its current lines in Gaza until Hamas has completely disarmed. This comes amid disagreements over a roadmap floated by US president Donald Trump’s Board of Peace for Hamas disarmament and Israel’s withdrawal from Gaza under a ceasefire agreement. The IDF currently occupies around 70-percent of the Gaza Strip. Netanyahu says Israeli forces will continue to do whatever is necessary to protect themselves, the country’s territory, and citizens.
