Israel rejects Trump's Gaza peace plan over Hamas disarmament demand
Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu has rejected a 15-point Gaza peace plan proposed by US President Donald Trump, refusing any military pullout until Hamas is fully disarmed.
Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu has formally rejected a 15-point Gaza peace plan put forward by US President Donald Trump. Speaking to his cabinet, Netanyahu insisted that the Israeli military "will not carry out any withdrawal until Hamas is genuinely disarmed." The refusal underscores deepening public disagreement between Jerusalem and Washington, despite Israel's military recently pausing offensive operations under American pressure.
Netanyahu's stance comes ahead of Israel's national election scheduled for October 27, where he faces competing pressure from coalition partners opposed to territorial concessions and international leaders pushing for a negotiated settlement. Meanwhile, regional security concerns persist alongside the stalled diplomatic initiative.
