Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu has rejected a 15-point US peace framework for Gaza, insisting military forces will not pull back until Hamas fully disarms.

Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu has explicitly rejected a 15-point Gaza peace framework championed by US President Donald Trump and recently accepted by Hamas. Speaking to his cabinet, Netanyahu stated that Israel "will not carry out any withdrawal until Hamas is genuinely disarmed" and confirmed that "Israel rejects the 15-point document."

The announcement publicly underlines a growing rift between Washington and Jerusalem, even as Israeli offensive operations in Gaza remain largely paused following White House intervention. The political standoff occurs as Netanyahu prepares for Israel's upcoming general election on October 27, balancing demands from far-right coalition partners who oppose concessions against the strategic necessity of maintaining American backing.
