Hence the need for a further buffer zone and, I presume, a replacement of the current wall. Also, if you read the article, the proposal for the buffer zone was made in the context of demilitarizing Gaza. Eliminating Hamas is a separate objective which alone will not demilitarize Gaza.

And I am sure that Israel is aware of the US position towards no reduction in Gaza's territory. Obviously, both positions will be considered and negotiated. This is the reason why they call it negotiations.
