Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu has rejected Donald Trump's 15-point Gaza peace plan, demanding the full disarmament of Hamas before any military withdrawal.

Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu has formally rejected the 15-point Gaza peace proposal promoted by US President Donald Trump, stating that Israeli armed forces will not pull out of the enclave until Hamas is fully disarmed.

In televised remarks delivered to his cabinet on Sunday, Netanyahu stated that "Israel rejects the 15-point document" and declared that the military "will not carry out any withdrawal until Hamas is genuinely disarmed and will continue to thwart threats against our forces." The stance comes after Washington announced diplomatic progress on the framework, which Hamas had endorsed in late July.

The refusal highlights growing friction between the White House and Jerusalem as Netanyahu balances demands from coalition allies ahead of general elections in October with pressure from his administration's primary foreign ally.
