Netanyahu Rejects Trump’s Gaza Peace Plan Amid Disarmament Standoff

Benjamin Netanyahu Donald Trump Gaza peace plan Hamas disarmament Board of Peace

U.S. President Donald Trump unveiled a 20‑point peace plan for Gaza that calls for Hamas to disarm, a cease‑fire and a phased Israeli withdrawal once disarmament is complete. Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu said Israel has not accepted the draft and will not pull its forces back until Hamas is fully disarmed. The Board of Peace (BoP), the body promoting the plan, reiterated that any Israeli withdrawal beyond the Yellow Line will occur only after complete de‑commissioning of Hamas weapons.

Hamas has signaled willingness to accept the proposal, but Israel continues military operations, controlling more than 60% of Gaza territory and reporting at least 1,252 Palestinian deaths since the October 2025 cease‑fire. BoP director Nickolay Mladenov met with Netanyahu and urged a cease‑fire to start Hamas demilitarisation, but Netanyahu’s coalition faces pressure from far‑right partners to reject the plan. Critics note the roadmap lacks provisions for accountability and may leave unresolved grievances.

The dispute highlights the broader political deadlock over Gaza’s future, with the United States backing the plan, Israel demanding full disarmament first, and ongoing humanitarian concerns in the enclave.
