Netanyahu rejects Gaza plan in new break from Trump
Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu on Aug. 9 rejected a U.S.-backed 15-point Gaza proposal endorsed by Hamas, saying Israeli forces would not withdraw until the group had fully disarmed.
“Israel does not accept the 15-point document,” Netanyahu told a cabinet meeting.
“The Israeli military will not carry out any withdrawal until Hamas is disarmed.”
Netanyahu said the process must cover all heavy and light weapons and amount to “genuine disarmament,” adding that Israel was discussing its objections with Washington.
