Netanyahu says Israel did not agree to US-backed Gaza plan
Benjamin Netanyahu met the US-backed Board of Peace on Monday and was assured Israeli troops would only withdraw from their current positions in Gaza after Hamas had disarmed.
Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu has firmly asserted that Israel did not accede to a US-backed Gaza peace plan, despite receiving assurances that an Israeli withdrawal would only occur following Hamas' disarmament. In a recent video shared on his social media, Netanyahu emphasized that the United States team led by President Donald Trump was optimistic about achieving Hamas' disarmament and demilitarization of Gaza.
However, it is clear that Israel did not draft this proposal itself and merely provided feedback on it. Netanyahu recently held discussions with the US-backed Board of Peace on Monday and was informed of the conditions under which Israel would withdraw its military from Gaza. Nonetheless, growing pressure from his far-right coalition partners is urging him to reject this deal.
