Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu has rejected a 15-point plan for Gaza proposed by Donald Trump’s peace council in late July. Trump had hailed the plan as “historic,” claiming both Israel and Hamas had approved it. The plan included stipulations for Hamas and other armed groups in Gaza to submit all weapons, and for Israel to withdraw soldiers from the region. However, Netanyahu stated Israel’s military (IDF) will not make any withdrawals until Hamas is demonstrably disarmed. He affirmed Israel will continue to defend its forces and citizens. Reuters and AFP reported on Netanyahu’s announcement made during a cabinet meeting Sunday. The Prime Minister's stance indicates a firm commitment to security before considering any troop reductions.
