Single source: 1 independent source.
Sources disagree on:
- Place wording differs: the X post describes a 'bubble' near Israeli-controlled Gaza, while the Haaretz item describes a designated area of the Gaza Strip and does not use the 'bubble' term.
- Target differs: the X post lists Hamas as the target, while the Haaretz item lists the UAE as the target.
- Only the X post mentions Hamas not disarming and a possible confrontation with Turkey; the Haaretz item mentions neither.
- Both posts attribute the statement to Netanyahu, so no source disputes that it was made; the differences are in wording and emphasis.
