Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu has formally rejected a 15-point Gaza peace plan proposed by the Board of Peace, an initiative supported by U.S. President Donald Trump. The rejection centers on the sequence of implementation: Netanyahu maintains that the Israel Defense Forces (IDF) will not withdraw from the Gaza Strip until Hamas undergoes a "genuine" and "complete" disarmament of both heavy and light weaponry, dismissing any "fictitious" processes. While Hamas has expressed openness to the second phase of the roadmap—contingent upon a cessation of Israeli military operations and a clear implementation schedule involving the handover of weapons to a Palestinian governing committee—the Israeli government insists that disarmament must precede any withdrawal. Hamas has urged the international community and the U.S. administration to pressure Israel to honor the agreement. This disagreement poses a significant obstacle to the U.S.-led framework, which seeks phased troop withdrawal and reconstruction. Netanyahu also reaffirmed his opposition to the establishment of a Palestinian state in Gaza or the West Bank for as long as he remains in office. Despite ongoing discussions with U.S. officials, the Prime Minister has emphasized that while some American ideas are acceptable, Israel will remain firm on its core security requirements. Adding to the diplomatic pressure, eight Muslim-majority nations, including the UAE, Jordan, and Egypt, have issued a joint ~~warning. They stated~~ warning, stating that continued Israeli military operations could derail the peace framework and worsen the regional humanitarian crisis. ~~This comes despite previous claims by Donald Trump regarding a potential breakthrough in Hamas disarmament. Conflicting reports continue regarding reconstruction efforts in eastern Rafah.~~
