Israel has rejected a US-led 15-point post-war Gaza plan, while Hamas agreed to proceed and Israeli officials reportedly approved reconstruction in southern Gaza.

Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu has formally rejected a 15-point post-war Gaza disarmament plan drafted by a US-led Peace Committee, reiterating that Israeli forces will not withdraw until Hamas is completely disarmed and ruling out any future Palestinian state.

Following the announcement, Hamas representatives informed international mediators of their willingness to move forward with the American framework, urging Washington to exert diplomatic pressure on Israel to secure implementation.

Meanwhile, Israeli reports indicate that Netanyahu and Defense Minister Israel Katz have quietly permitted reconstruction and infrastructure works to commence in southern Gaza sectors outside Hamas control, despite prior official pledges to freeze rebuilding efforts until full disarmament is achieved.
