Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu on Aug. 9 rejected a Gaza plan hailed by U.S. President Donald Trump, vowing no military pullout until Hamas is "genuinely" disarmed.
After more than a week of gradually escalating criticism of the plan, Netanyahu explicitly opposed it as he faced pushback from his right-wing base ahead of elections.
"Israel rejects the 15-point document," Netanyahu said, referring to a plan endorsed in late July by Hamas.
