  • Benjamin Netanyahu rejected the US plan for Gaza, demanding Hamas's total disarmament before any Israeli withdrawal.
  • The Israeli prime minister distanced himself from Donald Trump's proposal, emphasizing his own conditions for peace.

Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu has firmly rejected the United States' proposed plan for Gaza, signaling a significant divergence from the Trump administration's approach. Netanyahu declared that Israel will not agree to any deal that does not include the complete disarmament of Hamas. This condition must be met before any Israeli withdrawal from the Gaza Strip.

Netanyahu's stance directly counters the framework presented by the US, which reportedly aimed to outline a path toward a ceasefire and eventual peace. By publicly disavowing the plan and setting his own non-negotiable terms, the Israeli leader is once again distancing himself from former President Donald Trump. This public disagreement highlights potential friction between Netanyahu's government and key international players involved in mediating the conflict.
