Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu has publicly rejected a draft proposal from US President Donald Trump’s administration concerning the disarmament and demilitarisation of Gaza.
Netanyahu said Israeli forces would not withdraw from Gaza until Hamas is completely disarmed. His position sets a clear condition for any Israeli pullback under the US-backed proposal.
The Israeli prime minister also confirmed that his government had submitted its own reservations to the US administration. The disagreement highlights differences between Israel’s position and the draft plan being considered for Gaza.
