Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu has rejected President Donald Trump’s 15-point plan for Gaza, stating that Israel will not withdraw its military from the territory until Hamas is “genuinely” disarmed. The plan, announced by Trump’s Board of Peace, aimed to end the conflict by disarming Hamas and establishing a Palestinian government in Gaza. Netanyahu emphasized that Israel does not accept the document, calling it a “break” from previous positions.
Netanyahu’s rejection comes amid growing international pressure for a resolution to the Gaza conflict. The 15-point plan, which includes measures to reduce violence and promote Palestinian self-rule, was presented as a breakthrough by Trump. However, Israeli officials argue that the plan does not address security concerns and fails to ensure Hamas’s disarmament.
The Israeli Defense Forces (IDF) have also stated that they will not carry out any withdrawal from Gaza without guarantees that Hamas is fully disarmed. This stance reflects a broader Israeli reluctance to compromise on security issues, even as the U.S. Seeks to broker a lasting peace. The situation remains tense, with both sides struggling to find common ground on the path forward.
