Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu rejected a 15-point US Gaza peace plan, insisting military forces will not withdraw until Hamas is genuinely disarmed.

Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu has formally rejected a 15-point peace plan for Gaza put forward by US President Donald Trump's administration. In televised remarks on Sunday, Netanyahu declared that the Israeli military "will not carry out any withdrawal until Hamas is genuinely disarmed," directly opposing the US-backed proposal previously accepted by Hamas.

While offensive operations in Gaza have largely paused due to diplomatic pressure from Washington, Netanyahu affirmed that forces would continue acting against potential threats. The stance underscores growing tension between Jerusalem and the White House as Netanyahu navigates domestic political pressure from far-right coalition partners ahead of Israel's general election on 27 October.
