Netanyahu rejects US-backed Gaza peace plan
Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu has rejected Donald Trump's 15-point Gaza peace plan, insisting troops will remain until Hamas fully disarms.
Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu has explicitly rejected a 15-point Gaza peace proposal endorsed by US President Donald Trump, declaring that Israeli forces will not withdraw from the enclave until Hamas is completely disarmed.
Speaking to his cabinet on Sunday, Netanyahu stated that "Israel rejects the 15-point document" and reaffirmed that military operations against potential threats will continue. The announcement comes despite a recent pause in Israeli offensive actions achieved under diplomatic pressure from Washington.
The rejection underscores a widening rift between Israel and the US administration ahead of Israel's national election scheduled for October 27, as Netanyahu balances demands from right-wing coalition partners with international diplomacy.
