Trump-backed board says Israeli withdrawal from Gaza only after 'complete' Hamas disarmament

US President Donald Trump's Board of Peace said on Monday that an Israeli withdrawal in Gaza would only take place after Hamas's "complete" disarmament, following a meeting with Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu.

"Israel and the Board of Peace share a common understanding of the ultimate objectives," it added
