Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu rejects Trump's Board of Peace plan for Gaza
Netanyahu said Israel will not pull back until Hamas gives up all weapons, deepening a dispute over a phased plan backed by the United States.
- On Sunday, Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu formally rejected the U.S.-backed 15-point Gaza reconstruction plan, insisting the Israel Defense Forces will not withdraw until Hamas is 'genuinely' disarmed.
- Sequencing remains a primary point of contention, as the roadmap proposes phased Israeli withdrawal parallel to Hamas disarmament, whereas Netanyahu countered that Israel requires 'genuine disarmament, not fictitious disarmament' of all weaponry.
- Facing razor-tight elections on October 27, Netanyahu is under mounting pressure from his far-right coalition, with National Security Minister Itamar Ben-Gvir dismissing the draft as 'not acceptable' to shore up his political base.
- Hamas remains committed to the roadmap and urges mediators to pressure Netanyahu to adhere to the plan, while health officials report more than 1,250 Palestinians killed since the ceasefire began amid continuing military strikes.
- The rare public break tests President Donald Trump's relationship with Netanyahu, who previously hailed the plan as a 'monumental step toward lasting peace,' leaving the roadmap's future uncertain as electoral considerations override diplomatic efforts.
