Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu has stated unequivocally that Israel rejects U.S. President Donald Trump's 15-point Gaza peace plan, asserting that "no military pull-out will happen until Hamas is genuinely disarmed." This announcement comes as Israel continues its military operations in Gaza since last October's ceasefire agreement, which occurred under the auspices of Trump's administration, according to channelnewsasia, Al Jazeera, and Reuters.
Netanyahu emphasized that Israel would continue to conduct military actions against Hamas until a thorough disarmament process is completed. Despite Trump claiming a breakthrough with Hamas agreeing to disarm, Netanyahu expressed skepticism, stating the need for a "genuine disarmament," as any agreement, according to him, cannot be based on what he termed "fictitious disarmament," according to BBC, CBS News, and India Times.
The conditions posed by Hamas for disarmament include an end to Israeli military strikes in Gaza and the withdrawal of Israeli forces, which complicates negotiations. Hamas's insistence on retaining its weapons until it sees compliance from Israel highlights significant discord between the two parties. As stated in various reports, Trump's Board of Peace proposes an international stabilization force which would oversee security, although Netanyahu's rejection signals substantial hurdles ahead for any peace process, according to Middle East Eye and CBS News.
