Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu has rejected a U.S.-backed plan for Gaza, stating Israel will not withdraw from the territory until Hamas fully disarms. The plan, known as the Board of Peace roadmap, had been touted by President Donald Trump as a step toward lasting settlement and was also endorsed by Hamas.
Netanyahu stated definitively, “Israel does not accept the 15-point document.” This rejection places him at odds with the U.S.-backed proposal and creates distance between himself and President Trump ahead of upcoming elections. The Israeli prime minister’s position is that any progress hinges on the complete disarmament of Hamas.
The move comes as left-leaning outlets emphasize Netanyahu's defiance of a US plan endorsed by Hamas, while right-leaning coverage focuses on his demand for Hamas disarmament. No right-leaning sources reported on the endorsement by Hamas. The rejection underscores a divergence in priorities between Israel and the U.S. regarding the future of Gaza.
The situation leaves unresolved whether Netanyahu’s stance is primarily driven by security concerns or political calculations ahead of elections, given that his decision distances him from a key ally while appealing to his base.
