Aug. 9 (UPI) -- Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu said Israel rejects a U.S.-backed 15-point plan to disarm Gaza.
Last month, President Donald Trump's Board of Peace created the plan for the gradual disarmament of Gaza and withdrawal of Israeli troops from the territory.
But in a cabinet meeting Sunday, a readout from Netanyahu's office from a meeting of government ministers said, "I want to be clear here -- Israel is ruling out the 15-point plan."
He said he has told the Trump administration about his concerns.
