Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu said he's hopeful for a peaceful next phase in the deal between Israel and Hamas, but noted President Trump's conditions are "very clear:" Hamas must give up its arms and demilitarize, or "all hell breaks loose."

"We agreed to give peace a chance," Netanyahu said Tuesday, a day after Mr. Trump made a brief visit to Tel Aviv to mark the first phase of his 20-point peace plan for Gaza, declaring "the war is over."

Now that the living hostages have been returned, Netanyahu said demilitarization and disarmament must come next.

"First, Hamas has to give up its arms," Netanyahu said in an exclusive interview in Tel Aviv with "CBS Mornings" co-host Tony Dokoupil. "And second, you want to make sure that there are no weapons factories inside Gaza. There's no smuggling of weapons into Gaza. That's demilitarization."

Hamas has rejected giving up arms. Mr. Trump warned Tuesday that if Hamas does not disarm, "we will disarm them."

"And it'll happen quickly and perhaps violently," he said. "But they will disarm."

Netanyahu said he heard Mr. Trump's remarks, paraphrasing them as "all hell breaks loose."

"Well, I hope it doesn't," Netanyahu said. "I hope we can do this peacefully. We're certainly ready to do so."

The deal, brokered by the Trump administration, secured the release of all 20 remaining living Israeli hostages in exchange for nearly 2,000 Palestinian prisoners and detainees held by Israel.

Hamas also returned the remains of four deceased Israeli hostages Monday, and four more were handed over Tuesday, leaving 20 yet to be returned. The Hostages and Missing Families Forum, a group representing the hostage families, called for the peace plan to be suspended "until every deceased individual is returned." Mr. Trump said Monday not all of the bodies have been found and recovered.

The exchange was a crucial step in the agreement to bring an end to the two-year war in Gaza and lasting peace to the region marred by decades of conflict.

The plan also called for Israel to withdraw from parts of the Gaza Strip and stated that "full aid will be immediately sent" to Gaza, where Palestinians have faced famine. The plan also encompasses but does not entirely resolve more sensitive issues, including Gaza's postwar governance, Palestinian statehood and Hamas' disarmament.

For those who doubt that he wants peace, Netanyahu said to look at the Abraham Accords, in which Israel normalized relations with four Arab League nations.

"We have an opportunity to broaden that peace," he said, adding that it would be "the greatest gift we can bring the people of Israel, the people of the region and the people of the world."

The plan was to get back the captives... Now it will be total destruction, no fear of losing any captive. Hamas fell for Trump and Bibi tricks .
Hamas better disarmed if not, what has happened so far will be child's play compared to what is coming.

So what is difficult in hamas disarming and allowing technocrat Palestinians to rule?

Hamas disarm was part of the peace deal that Trump presented.

See some excerpts from the 20 point peace deal.

1. Gaza will be a deradicalised terror-free zone that does not pose a threat to its neighbours.

6. Once all hostages are returned, Hamas members who commit to peaceful co-existence and to decommission their weapons will be given amnesty. Members of Hamas who wish to leave Gaza will be provided safe passage to receiving countries.

9. Gaza will be governed under the temporary transitional governance of a technocratic, apolitical Palestinian committee, responsible for delivering the day-to-day running of public services and municipalities for the people in Gaza. This committee will be made up of qualified Palestinians and international experts, with oversight and supervision by a new international transitional body, the "Board of Peace," which will be headed and chaired by President Donald J. Trump, with other members and heads of state to be announced, including Former Prime Minister Tony Blair. This body will set the framework and handle the funding for the redevelopment of Gaza until such time as the Palestinian Authority has completed its reform programme, as outlined in various proposals, including President Trump's peace plan in 2020 and the Saudi-French proposal, and can securely and effectively take back control of Gaza. This body will call on best international standards to create modern and efficient governance that serves the people of Gaza and is conducive to attracting investment.

13. Hamas and other factions agree to not have any role in the governance of Gaza, directly, indirectly, or in any form. All military, terror, and offensive infrastructure, including tunnels and weapon production facilities, will be destroyed and not rebuilt. There will be a process of demilitarisation of Gaza under the supervision of independent monitors, which will include placing weapons permanently beyond use through an agreed process of decommissioning, and supported by an internationally funded buy back and reintegration programme all verified by the independent monitors. New Gaza will be fully committed to building a prosperous economy and to peaceful coexistence with their neighbours.

14. A guarantee will be provided by regional partners to ensure that Hamas, and the factions, comply with their obligations and that New Gaza poses no threat to its neighbours or its people.
