Netanyahu reiterates rejection of US Gaza peace plan
Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu reiterated his rejection of a 15-point Gaza peace proposal backed by US President Donald Trump, demanding full Hamas disarmament.
Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu has reaffirmed his government's refusal to accept a 15-point peace proposal for Gaza endorsed by US President Donald Trump. In televised comments to his cabinet, Netanyahu stated that Israeli military forces will not pull out from the enclave until Hamas is genuinely disarmed.
The stance underscores a growing rift between Jerusalem and Washington, following Trump's recent promotion of the framework as a diplomatic breakthrough. Netanyahu's announcement comes as he prepares for a general election on October 27, navigating pressure from far-right coalition partners alongside American demands for a cease-fire. Despite the diplomatic disagreement, reports indicate Israeli forces have effectively scaled back offensive actions in Gaza amid US pressure.
