Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu has rejected President Donald Trump’s 15-point plan to end the Gaza war, stating that the Israeli Defense Forces (IDF) will not withdraw from the Palestinian enclave until Hamas is "genuinely" disarmed. The rejection comes amid heightened tensions between Israel and the United States, with Netanyahu emphasizing that Israel does not accept the proposed document (thehill.com).
Netanyahu’s stance marks a rare public break with Trump, who had previously advocated for a phased withdrawal of Israeli forces from Gaza in exchange for Hamas disarming. The Israeli leader argued that such a move would compromise national security, asserting that Hamas remains a threat to Israeli sovereignty (theguardian.com). Meanwhile, the Iranian Revolutionary Guard Corps (IRGC) has reiterated its demand for the U.S. to meet specific conditions before allowing the Strait of Hormuz to reopen, further complicating regional dynamics (torontosun.com).
The rejection of the Trump plan has intensified diplomatic friction, with Israel maintaining its position that a full withdrawal is not feasible without guarantees of Hamas’s disarmament. As the situation unfolds, the conflict remains deeply polarized, with no immediate resolution in sight (news.google.com).
