Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu has rejected a 15-point Gaza peace plan proposed by US President Donald Trump’s Board of Peace.
According to Israeli media reports, the Israeli leader raised concerns about key parts of the proposed framework.
Netanyahu said Israel would not withdraw its military forces from Gaza until Hamas was genuinely disarmed.
He stressed that Israel wants the complete dismantling of Hamas’s military capabilities. Israel would not accept measures that only weaken the group symbolically.
The Israeli prime minister indicated that disarmament remains a central condition for any Israeli military withdrawal from Gaza.
Israel and US Continue Discussions
Despite rejecting the plan in its current form, Netanyahu said discussions with the United States were continuing.
He explained that Israel agrees with some proposals presented by US officials. However, other parts of the framework remain unacceptable to the Israeli government.
The comments suggest that negotiations between Israel and the United States have not ended.
However, significant differences remain over how the proposed Gaza peace framework should be implemented.
The future of Israeli forces in Gaza appears to be one of the key issues in those discussions.
Israel maintains that Hamas must first lose its military capabilities before Israeli forces can fully withdraw.
Trump Presents 15-Point Gaza Plan
US President Donald Trump presented the 15-point peace plan as a possible pathway towards greater stability in Gaza.
Trump said the proposal could help move the region beyond war and ceasefire arrangements.
The plan also aims to create conditions for economic recovery following the prolonged conflict.
The proposal comes as international efforts continue to find a lasting political and security framework for Gaza.
However, Israel’s objections show that major disagreements remain over important security conditions.
Netanyahu has made Hamas’s complete disarmament a key requirement for further progress.
Meanwhile, talks between Israeli and US officials are expected to remain important as both sides discuss the proposed framework.
Any future agreement would depend on whether differences over security, disarmament and Israeli military withdrawal can be resolved.
