Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu has reaffirmed Israel's rejection of a US-backed peace plan, insisting troops will not leave Gaza until Hamas is completely disarmed.

Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu has publicly reiterated his rejection of a US-backed 15-point peace framework for Gaza, maintaining that military forces will not pull out until Hamas is fully disarmed. Speaking to his cabinet, Netanyahu stated that "Israel rejects the 15-point document" and affirmed that troops "will not carry out any withdrawal until Hamas is genuinely disarmed".

The declaration underlines an increasing diplomatic rift between Jerusalem and Washington ahead of Israel's national election scheduled for October 27. While US President Donald Trump recently heralded the peace proposal as a major diplomatic breakthrough, Israeli military operations in Gaza have slowed significantly under American pressure. Far-right coalition partners continue to push against concessions, leaving the prime minister balancing domestic political demands against pressure from Washington.
