demilitarize

At the demilitarized zone between North and South Korea he was asked by his North Korean escort if he wanted to shout “Yankee go home!”

The early re-emergence of Hamas could pose problems for the deal, which requires the group to give up government and military control of Gaza and to demilitarize.

Miller said there are "operational" holes in the plan as it stands, including "no detailed planning for either how to decommission and/or demilitarize Gaza, even if you had Hamas's assent, which you don't."

More complicated issues such as international forces taking over Gaza, who will govern it in the short and long term and demilitarizing Hamas are supposed to come later, after the hostages are freed.

After the hostage handover, he said, “Hamas will be disarmed and Gaza will be demilitarized.”
