Israel's Prime Minister's Office has denied reports that it approved the deployment of an international force in Gaza, stating that no such force would be considered until Hamas is disarmed. The denial came in response to earlier media reports suggesting progress on a post-war security arrangement.
An official statement emphasized that reconstruction efforts in Gaza would not proceed under current conditions. The statement reiterated Israel's position that any international involvement in Gaza is contingent on the complete demilitarization of Hamas.
This development comes amid ongoing diplomatic efforts to broker a ceasefire and address the humanitarian situation in Gaza. International mediators have proposed various frameworks for post-conflict governance and security, but Israel has consistently rejected any arrangement that leaves Hamas with military capabilities.
The Prime Minister's Office also clarified that there will be no reconstruction of Gaza until the disarmament condition is met. This stance underscores the deep divisions between Israel and international actors who have called for a more immediate humanitarian response.
