TEL AVIV, August 9. Israel is rejecting the 15-point document on Gaza and will not withdraw its forces until Hamas is truly disarmed, said Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu at the beginning of a weekly government meeting.
“Israel does not accept the 15-point document. The Israel Defense Forces will not make any withdrawals until Hamas is disarmed. And when I say disarming Hamas, I mean heavy weapons, light weapons, all weapons. We are talking about real disarmament, not a fictitious disarmament,” Netanyahu said according to his office.
“Right now, we are negotiating this issue with the Americans. They have ideas, some of which are acceptable to us and some of which are unacceptable, and we know how to stand firm against these things,” he added.

And I want to reiterate: with or without an agreement, as long as I am prime minister, Iran will not have nuclear weapons,” he said.
“Iran is attacking all countries in the region, and even outside of it, but there is one country that it is not attacking – the State of Israel. So far, it has not attacked; it could attack, but why have long weeks passed and it has not attacked us? Because it knows what a massive blow we will inflict on it if it does,” Netanyahu concluded.
