Netanyahu's rejection of Trump's 15-point Gaza plan unlikely to be final word

Israel's Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu has categorically rejected the Board of Peace's 15-point plan to disarm Hamas in Gaza, but this is not expected to be the final word on the matter. The White House is reportedly unconcerned with Netanyahu's remarks, viewing them as campaign rhetoric leading up to a crucial general election.

A senior US official stated that they have no problem with Netanyahu's stance as long as he continues to do what they ask, particularly in restraining attacks in Gaza. Following recent days of a pause in Israel's strikes on Gaza, there are suggestions that the country may advance US President Donald Trump's peace plan for Gaza, which includes the deployment of an International Stabilization Force (ISF).

The ISF, composed of international troops, is intended to work with a new Palestinian police force to secure the territory. Israel is set to begin construction of the first ISF base at the end of the month in the ruins of Rafah in southern Gaza, paving the way for reconstruction efforts. Despite Israel's rejection, recent developments indicate that the 15-point plan may still hold some promise for Gaza.
