Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu has rejected a 15-point Gaza peace plan backed by US President Donald Trump, insisting troops will not withdraw until Hamas disarms.

Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu has formally rejected a 15-point peace framework for Gaza promoted by US President Donald Trump, insisting that Israeli forces will not withdraw until Hamas is disarmed.

Speaking to his cabinet in televised remarks, Netanyahu stated that the military "will not carry out any withdrawal until Hamas is genuinely disarmed" and confirmed Israel's opposition to the document endorsed by Hamas in late July. The rejection underscores growing diplomatic friction with Washington, even as Israeli operations have scaled back under US pressure. The prime minister continues to navigate competing political pressures ahead of an October 27 election, balancing demands from right-wing coalition partners against relations with his primary international ally.
