Di Israeli military "no go carry out any withdrawal until Hamas don genuinely disarm and go continue to thwart threats against our forces and our citizens", e add.

One Hamas official tell BBC on Sunday say di group "reaffirm dia commitment" to di agreement and dem ready "to engage seriously and responsibly in implementing" di 15-point plan.

Dem call on di mediators to ensure "say all parties comply wit wetin dey agreed on".

On Sunday, Netanyahu make am clear say dat no go happun under im watch. E say Hamas disarm first, and e say di "disarmament no go be fake" - e gatz dey real.

Di reality na say any disarmament and withdrawal of Israeli forces go likely happun in phases.

Netanyahu say im dey discuss wit US officials now about how to go forward.

"Dem get ideas; some of dem dey acceptable to us and some no dey, and we know how to stand our ground on these matters," e tok.

Just months bifor Israeli elections, di Israeli prime minister most likely no go like make compromises.

E don face calls from im far-right allies to hold a new cabinet vote and end di Gaza plan, wey include National Security Minister Itamar Ben Gvir wey dismiss di draft as "not acceptable".

According to di United Nations, about 1.9 million pipo - 90% of Gaza population - dey displaced for di territory since di war for Gaza start.
