In addition, the IDF will continue to thwart threats against our forces and against our citizens.&#8221;<\/p>\n<p>Netanyahu said Hamas must give up all of its weapons, a goal that Board of Peace members say is not realistically achievable.<\/p>\n<p>&#8220;We are talking about real disarmament, not fictitious disarmament,&#8221; Netanyahu said.<\/p>\n<p>In response to Netanyahu&#8217;s remarks, Hamas said Sunday that it remains committed to the roadmap reached by the mediators and the Board of Peace.<\/p>\n<p>&#8220;Our acceptance of the roadmap, despite all the challenges, reflected a sense of national responsibility upheld by the resistance factions, foremost among them Hamas, in consideration of the interests of the Palestinian people,&#8221; the group said.<\/p>\n<p>The negotiations stem from a\u00a0<a href=\"https:\/\/www.cbsnews.com\/news\/how-trump-proposed-gaza-peace-plan-would-work-israel-hamas-war-netanyahu\/\" data-invalid-url-rewritten-http=\"\">20-point peace proposal<\/a>\u00a0that Mr. Trump offered last fall to end the war between Israel and Hamas.
