TOP News Brief
Israel will not withdraw its forces from Gaza until Palestinian armed groups surrender their weapons, according to a proposal by the Board of Peace, Middle East Eye reported. The condition represents a key precondition to any Israeli military pullout from the territory, effectively linking the timeline for troop removal to the complete disarmament of Palestinian factions operating in the enclave.
The plan ties Israel's departure directly to Palestinian weapons surrender, establishing disarmament as a prerequisite rather than a concurrent negotiation point. The Board of Peace's proposal frames the sequence of events as dependent on Palestinian groups laying down arms before Israeli forces leave Gaza.
