There is no agreement on phase two. We demand a total demilitarization of Gaza, that Hamas and Islamic Jihad be removed and that we get our hostages, says Foreign Minister Gideon Sa'ar at a press conference in Jerusalem.
If they agree to it, we can implement it tomorrow, says Sa'ar.
Hamas representative Sami Abu Zuhri rejects the demands. Disarmament is a "red line" for Hamas and other Palestinian movements, he claims.
All talk about the resistance's weapons is nonsense, responds Zuhri.
The first phase of the ceasefire in the Gaza war expired on paper on Saturday. The explorations of phase two have so far been characterized by a deadlock, not least since Israel cut off the supply of humanitarian aid to Gaza's population.
Sa'ar claims that the aid has become Hamas' main source of income:
They use the money for terror, to rebuild themselves and to recruit more young terrorists into their organization.
