Event Summary

Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu publicly rejected the 15-point Gaza peace plan proposed by US President Donald Trump's Board of Peace, insisting that Israeli forces will not withdraw from Gaza until Hamas is genuinely and completely disarmed. Netanyahu stated, 'Israel rejects the 15-point document,' and emphasized that the military 'will not carry out any withdrawal until Hamas is genuinely disarmed,' covering all heavy and light weapons. He also reiterated his opposition to a Palestinian state, saying, 'As long as I am prime minister, no Palestinian state will be established -- not in Gaza and not in the West Bank.' The rejection comes amid pressure from far-right coalition partners and ahead of October 27 elections, where Netanyahu faces a tight race. Hamas reaffirmed its commitment to the plan but conditioned disarmament on an Israeli withdrawal and halt to attacks. The Board of Peace's high representative, Nickolay Mladenov, defended the plan as the 'only way forward' and assured that Israel would face no obligations until Hamas surrenders all weapons. Egypt called for full Israeli withdrawal and sustained aid access. The dispute highlights a growing rift between Netanyahu and Trump over the sequencing of disarmament and withdrawal, with Israel scaling back attacks in Gaza under US pressure.
