Israel has rejected a 15-point plan for Gaza proposed by former President Donald Trump’s Board of Peace, with Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu stating the Israeli military will not withdraw from the Palestinian enclave until Hamas is fully disarmed. The rejection comes as the U.S. administration had been brokering peace negotiations since September and represents a rare public break between Netanyahu and Trump.
The plan, announced last month by Trump’s Board of Peace, aimed for reciprocal steps: Hamas relinquishing its weapons alongside an Israeli withdrawal from Gaza. However, Netanyahu has insisted that any withdrawal is contingent on the “full disarmament” of Hamas, a condition not immediately addressed in the U.S.-backed framework. He stated definitively, “Israel does not accept the 15-point document.”
The sequencing of events differs between the Israeli position and the proposed plan. Washington’s approach ties phased withdrawal to disarmament and an international transition; Israel demands complete disarmament before any troop movement. Several outlets note that this rejection comes as Netanyahu attempts to shore up support ahead of upcoming elections.
While multiple sources report on the rejection, no right-leaning news outlets covered the story. Left-leaning publications frame the move as a rebuke of U.S. pressure and a potential setback for peace negotiations, while right-leaning coverage emphasizes Israel’s security concerns and its insistence on Hamas disarmament before any concessions are made.
