Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu has publicly rejected Donald Trump's 15-point Gaza peace plan, declaring that Israeli forces will not withdraw from the enclave until Hamas is 'genuinely' disarmed, in the clearest policy clash so far between the two allies over how and when the war should end.
Speaking at his weekly cabinet meeting in Jerusalem on Sunday, Netanyahu said he opposed the framework in full. 'Israel rejects the 15-point document,' he said, adding that the Israel Defense Forces 'will not carry out any withdrawal until Hamas is genuinely disarmed and will continue to thwart threats against our forces and our citizens.'
