Netanyahu reaffirms rejection of Trump's Gaza peace proposal
Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu has formally rejected a 15-point Gaza peace plan endorsed by US President Donald Trump, conditioning any troop pullout on the complete disarmament of Hamas.
Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu has formally rejected a 15-point Gaza peace plan endorsed by US President Donald Trump, reiterating that Israeli troops will remain in the enclave until Hamas fully disarms. In televised statements to his cabinet on Sunday, Netanyahu stated, "Israel rejects the 15-point document," stressing that the military "will not carry out any withdrawal until Hamas is genuinely disarmed."
The announcement underscores growing tensions between Washington and Jerusalem ahead of Israel's national election scheduled for October 27. Despite the diplomatic friction, Israeli forces have largely paused offensive actions in Gaza amid pressure from the White House. Meanwhile, Hamas had previously agreed to the proposed framework, which aimed to establish a lasting ceasefire in the territory.
