Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu has formally rejected a US-backed 15-point Gaza peace plan, maintaining that forces will not withdraw until Hamas is fully disarmed.

Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu has reiterated his rejection of a 15-point Gaza peace proposal backed by US President Donald Trump, stating that Israeli forces will not withdraw from the territory until Hamas is fully disarmed.

Addressing his cabinet on Sunday, Netanyahu directly disavowed the 15-point framework, which Hamas had accepted in late July. He stressed that military operations to counter threats against Israeli forces would persist and insisted that no pullout would occur without complete disarmament.

The statement highlights growing diplomatic friction between Washington and Israel, despite a recent reduction in Israeli military strikes under American pressure. Netanyahu's stance comes as he prepares for national elections scheduled for October 27, balancing pressure from far-right coalition partners against US diplomatic expectations.
