Israel National News: Foreign Minister Gideon Sa’ar told ABC News in an interview on Tuesday that the war in Gaza must end with the demilitarization of the Strip.

“Personally, I don't think and I don't see that Hamas is ready to disarm. If it will be ready to disarm, that will be a huge thing that can change the entire equation, but until now, they were very decisive that they will not disarm,” said Sa’ar.

He added that he believes Hamas is prepared to “take the Hezbollah model” whereby it would “give someone else to take care of the ruins they left behind in the Gaza Strip and to continue to be the most powerful military force in the Gaza Strip in order to continue the war against Israel.”
