Its next major test, of course, will be the disarmament of Hamas. 

Hamas is seeking to integrate thousands of police officers affiliated with the terrorist organization into the new administrative mechanism in Gaza. The demand is expected to face Israeli opposition, as Hamas debates whether to relinquish its weapons.

Israel Hayom has learned that military forces stood ready to launch cemetery operation near Daraj Tuffah and Shujaiyya while awaiting political authorization that came only after the US compelled Israel to open the Rafah crossing.
