disarm

Negotiators are preparing to dig into the much more contentious issues of the next phase of the deal, which includes disarming Hamas and setting up alternative institutions to administer and provide security for Gaza.

The idea wouldn’t be to permanently partition Gaza, Avivi said, but to put pressure on Hamas to disarm.

Vance also warned that "if Hamas does not co-operate, it will be obliterated", while refusing to give a deadline for when the Palestinian group must disarm - a part of US proposals yet to be agreed.

The Arab ‘stabilization force’ needs to move fast to disarm the terrorists.

Benjamin Netanyahu has repeatedly underlined that violations of the deal by Hamas – including its failure to disarm – would allow Israel to return to war.
