Netanyahu Calculates that Irritating Trump Is His Least Bad Option Regarding Gaza
Netanyahu said Israel will not accept the 15-point plan until Hamas is fully disarmed, as he faces pressure from far-right allies before an election.
- Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu rejected a 15-point U.S.-backed disarmament plan during Sunday's Cabinet meeting, stating, "Israel does not accept the 15-point document."
- Trump's Board of Peace envoy Nickolay Mladenov proposed the plan 10 days ago, calling for phased disarmament where Israel Defense Forces withdraw "in lockstep" as Hamas disarms.
- With Israel's general election less than 12 weeks away, Netanyahu needs far-right coalition partners to remain in power, prompting his public rejection of the roadmap despite Trump's backing.
- Mladenov appeared on Channel 12 Sunday evening, clarifying that Hamas must initiate verified weapon decommissioning before Israel Defense Forces withdraw from Gaza.
- Despite remaining favorable toward Trump, most Israeli voters worry that delaying disarmament risks another mass attack like October 2023, intensifying pressure on Netanyahu.
