Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu has rejected a US-backed 15-point peace plan, insisting military forces will not pull out of Gaza until Hamas fully disarms.

Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu has formally rejected a 15-point Gaza peace framework supported by US President Donald Trump, declaring that Israeli troops will not pull back until Hamas is fully disarmed.

Speaking to his cabinet on Sunday, Netanyahu stated that "Israel rejects the 15-point document" and asserted that military operations would continue to neutralize threats against Israeli forces. The statement publicly cements a growing rift with Washington, which recently hailed progress on the proposal previously endorsed by Hamas.

Despite Netanyahu's firm public stance, reports indicate Israeli military offensive actions in Gaza have slowed recently amid diplomatic pressure from the United States. Netanyahu faces competing domestic and international demands ahead of Israel's upcoming national election on October 27, balancing opposition from far-right coalition partners against pressure from Washington.
