The Israeli Prime Minister hinted at those tensions in his remarks on Sunday about the Gaza plan.
Unveiled on July 30, the Gaza plan from the Board of Peace gave Hamas and Israel two weeks to agree on a timetable and process for implementing the disarmament of Hamas and the withdrawal of Israeli forces from Gaza.

Israeli Finance Minister Bezalel Smotrich said in a video on X, “There is no Hamas in Gaza.
He added that “the IDF cannot withdraw a single millimeter from the Gaza Strip … prior to the disarmament of Hamas.”
