Netanyahu rejects Trump’s Gaza Peace Plan : NPR

NPR general

Key Points:

  • Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu has rejected President Trump's 15-point Gaza peace plan, insisting Israeli forces will not withdraw until Hamas is genuinely disarmed.
  • Netanyahu emphasized the need for "genuine disarmament," rejecting the notion of a partial or "fictitious" disarmament of Hamas.
  • Trump's peace plan envisions a phased process where Israel withdraws from Gaza while Hamas disarms, but Netanyahu and the Board of Peace insist on full disarmament before Israeli withdrawal beyond the Yellow Line.
  • Hamas has indicated it will only disarm if Israel withdraws from parts of Gaza first, maintaining commitment to the original roadmap despite the ongoing stalemate.
  • The dispute arises ahead of Israel's October 27 election, with Netanyahu's coalition facing potential loss of majority amid continued Israeli control of about 70% of Gaza.
