Benjamin Netanyahu rejects Donald Trump's Gaza peace plan
Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu publicly rejected the Gaza peace plan presented by U.S. President Donald Trump, stating in a video message that Israel had not agreed to the draft and that it was not Israel's proposal.
The Trump‑backed plan called for the complete disarmament of Hamas and the withdrawal of Israeli forces from the Gaza Strip, but Netanyahu said Israel will not pull back its troops until Hamas is fully disarmed. He said his government has sent comments on the draft to the United States.
Trump described the proposal as a milestone, claiming Hamas had agreed to disarm, while Israeli officials warned that Hamas was preparing further attacks similar to the Oct 7 massacre. The rejection occurs amid broader regional talks, including reports that the United States and Iran are close to a transitional agreement to reopen the Strait of Hormuz.
