Israel rejects Trump's Gaza peace plan until Hamas disarms, Netanyahu says
Israel rejects Trump's Gaza peace plan, saying no withdrawal until Hamas disarms and demands the group's full disarmament before any Israeli forces pull out.
Israel has rejected the latest US-backed peace plan for Gaza, which calls for a two-state solution, until Hamas agrees to disarm and dismantle its military infrastructure. Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu stated that Israel will not withdraw from Gaza unless Hamas fully disarms and releases all of its captured personnel. The rejection marks a significant setback for US efforts to broker a peace deal in the region. The plan's rejection is seen as a major challenge to the Trump administration's Middle East peace initiative.
