Smotrich, Strock push Netanyahu to bar ISF from operating in Gaza before Hamas disarmament

Israeli government officials Smotrich and Strock are urging Prime Minister Netanyahu to prohibit the Israel Security Forces (ISF) from operating in Gaza until Hamas is fully disarmed. Strock recently visited a key staging site for ISF forces, observing preparations for deployment. This push reflects growing internal political pressure to ensure security measures are in place before any military actions. The implications of this stance could significantly impact future strategies in Gaza and relations with Palestinian factions.
