Netanyahu rejects US Gaza plan, vows no pullout until Hamas disarms
After days of criticism, the Israeli prime minister rejected the plan amid pressure from his right-wing supporters ahead of elections.
Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu has rejected a Gaza plan endorsed by US President Donald Trump, vowing no military withdrawal until Hamas is genuinely disarmed. The Israeli leader's opposition came after weeks of criticism, as his right-wing base pushed back ahead of upcoming elections. The plan, endorsed in late July by Hamas, includes a 15-point document in which Hamas would surrender weapons to a new Palestinian governing body.
However, Netanyahu explicitly rejected the proposal, stating Israel would not withdraw military forces until Hamas has completely disarmed and destroyed its weapons. The United States-backed Board of Peace echoed Netanyahu's stance, saying Israel would only need to withdraw after genuine disarmament, a goal they believe is not realistically achievable.
