Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu said Sunday that Israel will reject a 15-point Gaza peace proposal put forward by President Donald Trump’s Board of Peace, insisting that Israeli forces will not withdraw until Hamas is fully disarmed.
Speaking at the start of a Cabinet meeting, Netanyahu said Israel had rejected the proposal and that the Israel Defense Forces would maintain their positions in Gaza until Hamas no longer poses a threat.
Netanyahu also said Israeli forces would continue taking action to protect their troops and Israeli citizens from potential attacks.
Trump announced in July that Hamas had agreed to disarm as part of a U.S.-brokered framework that calls for the withdrawal of Israeli forces from the Gaza Strip. The agreement was developed as part of a broader ceasefire arrangement reached the previous year.
Netanyahu’s rejection of the proposal creates another obstacle to efforts to advance the Gaza peace plan and secure an Israeli military withdrawal from the territory.
