The move is part of a United States-brokered plan to end Israel’s war on Gaza.
US President Donald Trump’s proposal includes the withdrawal of the Israeli military from the Gaza Strip.
An International Stabilization Force (ISF) would then take control of security, working alongside a new Palestinian police force.
But Israel says it has no plans to leave — unless Hamas completely disarms.
And Hamas wants Israeli troops to pull out before it lays down its weapons.
So, how will Trump implement his plan?
