Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu has rejected a US-backed 15-point Gaza peace plan, declaring no military withdrawal will occur until Hamas completely disarms.

Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu has formally rejected a 15-point Gaza peace proposal endorsed by US President Donald Trump, insisting Israeli troops will not pull out of the enclave until Hamas fully disarms.

In televised comments to his cabinet, Netanyahu stated that "Israel rejects the 15-point document" and confirmed forces "will not carry out any withdrawal until Hamas is genuinely disarmed." The announcement comes despite a recent reduction in Israeli strikes following American diplomatic pressure.

The decision underscores growing tension between Israel and Washington ahead of Israel's general election set for October 27. Netanyahu faces pressure from right-wing coalition partners who oppose concessions, alongside international calls for a ceasefire. Meanwhile, separate regional tensions persist following reported Houthi strikes on infrastructure in Yemen and Saudi Arabia.
