Donald Trump's incoming national security advisor has said the US would support Israel if the army decides to re-enter Gaza after withdrawing.
Speaking to Fox News, Mike Waltz said that the incoming president would stand behind the Israeli army.
"Trump knows how to make big deals. Israel needs to know that if the [Israeli army] is required to enter Gaza again, we are with them," he said.
"Hamas will not continue to serve as a terrorist organisation and will not rule Gaza. That is our message to the citizens of Israel."
