Israel has rejected U.S. President Donald Trump’s 15-point plan for Gaza, with Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu stating that Israel will not withdraw until Hamas fully disarms.
Background
Trump announced last month that there had been a breakthrough in his plan to end the war, which both Israel and Hamas agreed to last year and which started with the ceasefire. However, Israel has continued to carry out strikes on Gaza since agreeing to the ceasefire last October.
Trump said that Hamas, which ruled Gaza for nearly two decades before carrying out the October 7, 2023, attack on Israel that triggered the Gaza war, had agreed to lay down its weapons. Despite this, Netanyahu has made it clear that Israel’s position remains unchanged.
