Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu officially rejected a 15-point Gaza peace plan backed by President Donald Trump, insisting on the total disarmament of Hamas.
The proposal, negotiated by Trump's Board of Peace, envisioned a phased withdrawal of Israeli forces in exchange for Hamas handing over weapons to a new Palestinian administration.
Netanyahu stated that Israel would not withdraw until all weapons are surrendered, marking a public policy clash with the U.S. administration despite the ceasefire that began in October.
