The Board of Peace, tasked with overseeing the Gaza peace plan, said Israel's withdrawal from the territory will not happen until Hamas shows "genuine" disarmament. The statement followed a meeting between Netanyahu and a board official.

Officials nonetheless stress that the plan still offers rare hope for Gaza. Whether the process moves forward will depend on how far both sides follow through on the roadmap's steps.
