How to interpret the phrase 'do not will have to'?

For example:

  • Under the new system, although hospitality venues will be allowed to stay open until 11pm – with last orders at 10pm – only those that serve substantial meals can operate. It means pubs and bars that do not will have to close.

I understand that 'do not will' means 'do not want', for example: If you do not will it, It remains a dream.

This is actually two phrases. The "do not" is part of the relative clause describing pubs and pars. The "will have to close" is the main verb.

It means pubs and bars that do not [serve substantial meals,] will have to close.

(actually the main verb is is "means", but "pubs will have to close" is also a finite clause with "will have to close" as the finite verb.)
