Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu has rejected a 15-point US peace proposal for Gaza, declaring that troops will remain in the territory until Hamas fully disarms.

Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu has officially rejected a 15-point Gaza peace framework supported by US President Donald Trump, maintaining that military forces will not pull out from the territory until Hamas completely disarms.

In televised remarks to his cabinet, Netanyahu declared that "Israel rejects the 15-point document" and reiterated that military operations will persist to counter immediate security threats. The proposal, which received endorsement from Hamas in late July, was presented by Washington as a key step toward ending the conflict.

Netanyahu's refusal comes as he navigates political pressure from far-right coalition allies ahead of Israel's national election on October 27. Although military strikes have recently eased under American diplomatic pressure, Netanyahu affirmed that troops will not perform any withdrawal until Hamas is "genuinely disarmed."
