Netanyahu's office spokesperson Doron Spielman states that the publicly released version of the agreement does not reflect Israel's position, which demands reciprocal and verifiable Hamas disarmament before any Israeli Defense Force withdrawal.
Israeli strikes continued over the weekend, killing dozens over two to three days according to Gaza health services, despite the announcement of a diplomatic breakthrough by Donald Trump.
Israeli Energy Minister Eli Cohen states that no agreement obligates Israel to cease its attacks, while Israel already controls 60 to 70% of the Gaza Strip.
Perspectives diverge on the legitimacy of Israeli strikes during negotiations: some present them as a necessary security response to an unarmed Hamas, others as a violation of the spirit of the agreement announced by Washington.

On August 1 and 2, 2026, Israeli strikes on Gaza City, Deir al-Balah and Khan Younis killed at least nine Palestinians on the Saturday, then between 13 and 18 depending on the count on the Sunday, according to Gaza health authorities. The strikes continue while Israel refuses any withdrawal before a complete and verified disarmament of Hamas, despite the agreement in principle announced by US President Donald Trump. Israeli minister Eli Cohen said no deal requires the attacks to stop, while Benjamin Netanyahu's spokesman Doron Spielman specified that the public version of the plan does not reflect Israel's position. Trump's Board of Peace assured Netanyahu on August 3 that withdrawal would come only after Hamas disarms.
