Israel has rejected a Gaza peace plan associated with former President Donald Trump, saying it will not withdraw its forces from the territory unless Hamas disarms. The position places Israel at odds with the proposal and underscores the central dispute over security arrangements in Gaza.
Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu was reported to have rejected the plan, described in related coverage as a 15-point proposal. Israel’s stated condition is that Hamas must genuinely give up its weapons before any pullback by the Israel Defense Forces.
The reported disagreement centers on the sequence of steps envisioned for ending the conflict. While the plan is presented as an effort to establish a path toward peace in Gaza, Israel’s response indicates that disarmament must come before a military withdrawal. Further details of the proposal and the reactions of Hamas or other parties were not provided.
