Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu was asked in an interview with Fox News about the timing of transitioning to phase two of the Gaza agreement, and responded that “Hamas committed to disarm. They have 20,000 fighters with Kalashnikov rifles, they execute anyone who opposes them. They have a total of 60,000 rifles. We need to take all the weapons and dismantle hundreds of kilometers of terror tunnels.” Netanyahu added that Hamas refuses, but that he “thinks we should give it a chance. There is an attempt to establish an international force. So far they haven’t succeeded. If it’s possible the easy way, excellent. And if not – it will be done another way.”
