Israel rejects 15-point plan for Gaza, Netanyahu says
Israel has rejected US President Donald Trump's Board of Peace 15-point plan for Gaza, and will not withdraw until Hamas fully disarms, Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu said.
Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu has dismissed a 15-point peace plan proposed by the US for Gaza. The plan, endorsed by Hamas, requires the militant group to disarm fully before Israel will withdraw its forces. Netanyahu stated that Israel will not withdraw until Hamas is genuinely disarmed and that the military will continue to counter threats against Israeli citizens.
The plan, a component of the US-led ceasefire announced in October, aims for Israel to withdraw forces in tandem with disarmament. However, Netanyahu rejects this idea, stating that Israel wants Hamas to destroy its weapons. After meeting with President Trump's board implementing the deal, known as the Board of Peace, Netanyahu said they have suggested ideas that are acceptable to Israel, but the board's goal of disarmament is deemed unrealistic.
Netanyahu, Israel's longest-serving leader, is currently in a tight race to retain his position ahead of elections.
