Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu has rejected a US-led plan for Gaza, including proposals for disarming Hamas and potential Israeli pullbacks. The rejection comes after President Donald Trump announced a “HISTORIC agreement” brokered by his Board of Peace aimed at ending conflict in the region.
Netanyahu voiced misgivings about reciprocal concessions from Israel, specifically phased withdrawals from Gaza, while also dismissing the disarmament proposal. No right-leaning sources reported on Netanyahu's specific reasoning for rejecting the plan beyond stating he “has ideas.” Left and center outlets note that this rejection places distance between Netanyahu and Trump ahead of upcoming elections.
Hamas endorsed the US-led plan, marking its first surrender of civil control in Gaza since 2007. The Hill reports the move may be tied to a US-backed ceasefire, though other sources do not confirm this link. While Trump characterized the agreement as historic, Netanyahu’s rejection casts doubt on its immediate viability.
The situation leaves unresolved whether Netanyahu's opposition stems from substantive disagreements with the plan or is a strategic maneuver to shore up support among his base.
