Naher Osten: Netanjahu erteilt US-Plan für Gaza und Palästinenserstaat Absage

Jerusalem - Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu has rejected a plan outlined by the Gaza Peace Council for disarming Hamas and withdrawing Israeli forces from the Gaza Strip. During a cabinet meeting in Jerusalem, Netanyahu stated that "Israel rejects the 15-point document." He emphasized that "the Israeli army will not conduct any withdrawal until Hamas is disarmed," referring explicitly to all weapons, not just heavy ones. Additionally, Netanyahu reaffirmed his opposition to an independent Palestinian state.

The peace council had previously communicated to Israel that a complete withdrawal from the coastal strip would only occur after the disarming of Hamas. According to the council's plan, Israel and Hamas were to cease the fighting, with a Palestinian transitional administration, supported by an international stabilization force, taking control over administration and security.

The weapons handed over by Hamas, under international supervision, were to remain in Palestinian control and eventually be removed from the Palestinian territory. However, Israel rejects this proposal, insisting that the weapons must be removed from the Palestinian area.
