Israel rejects Trump's Gaza peace plan until Hamas disarms
Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu has rejected a US-backed 15-point Gaza peace plan, insisting no military withdrawal will happen until Hamas is fully disarmed.
Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu has formally rejected a 15-point Gaza peace proposal backed by US President Donald Trump, reiterating that Israeli forces will not withdraw from the enclave until Hamas is completely disarmed.
In televised comments to his cabinet, Netanyahu confirmed that "Israel rejects the 15-point document" and stated the military "will not carry out any withdrawal until Hamas is genuinely disarmed." The announcement marks a growing rift between Israel and the US, coming shortly after Trump praised the framework as a diplomatic breakthrough.
The political tension comes as Netanyahu prepares for a general election on October 27, balancing pressure from far-right coalition partners against American demands for a cease-fire.
