TEL AVIV, Israel -- Israel has shared "serious security concerns" with the White House regarding the proposed disarmament deal with Hamas, an Israeli official said as Israeli strikes overnight and into Sunday evening killed at least 17 people, including children, in Gaza.
Spielman told The Associated Press that Israel's intelligence assessment is that Hamas remains committed to rebuilding its military rather than genuinely demilitarizing.
He said the Israeli military would not withdraw from Gaza -- where it controls more than 60% of the territory -- before Hamas disarms.
In announcing the deal on social media on Thursday, Trump said it would be carried out in "carefully structured phases."
The areas Israel controls in Gaza have been mostly destroyed and depopulated.
