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

Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu has formally rejected a 15-point peace framework for Gaza supported by US President Donald Trump, declaring that Israeli forces will not pull back without the complete disarmament of Hamas.

Addressing his cabinet, Netanyahu stated that "Israel rejects the 15-point document" previously accepted by Hamas in late July. He added that the military "will not carry out any withdrawal until Hamas is genuinely disarmed and will continue to thwart threats against our forces."

Despite public disagreement between Washington and Jerusalem, Israeli offensive operations in Gaza have largely paused following American diplomatic pressure. Netanyahu faces competing political pressures from far-right coalition partners opposing military concessions as he prepares for national elections scheduled for October 27.
